The original Tommy Atkins.

The question as to the origin of Tommy
Atkins as the godfather-in-chief of the
British army has been recently discussed
in. the columns of the Western Morning
News The received version is that the
name originally appeared in model ac-
count-form issued by the war office. But
it is asserted that a real Thomas Atkins
was. in the beginning of the century, a
gunner in the Royal Artillery, and kept
a pay-book in such neat and orderly
manner that it became a model for SOL
diers' account-books in general, which
took the name of their originator. Then
by a process of substitution known to
students of mythology. the individual SOL
der took the place of the book, and the
mythopoeic Tommy came into being.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

It is rumored-though no one IS bound
to believe the remarkable things voiced
during these times of dog days and har-
vest moons-that Miss Daisy Letter will
accompany her brother-in-law and sis
ter, Mr. and Mrs George y. Curzon. to
India in the fall. 1t is said that one of
the inducements offered to the young la
dy was the promise OF an ele2hant-color
not mentioned-for her special mount. II
seems very natural that Miss Letter
should avail herself of such desirable
opportunity of visiting the Far East, and
if. when she gets there she follows the
custom of the country and rides an ele-
plant. well, why not?
The only possible objection that any
body could make TO such an arrangement
is that it will estail the absence of Miss
Letter from Washington society next
Winter, and being a bright. lovable girl
with numberless friends IL follows. of
course. that she viii be sadly missed.

About one month ago my child, which
is fifteen months old, had an attack of
diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I
gave it such remedies as are usually given
in such cases. ESt as nothing gave relief.
we sent for physician and it was under
his care for week. AT this time the
child had been sick for about ten DAYS
and was having about twenty-five opera
lions of the bowels every Twelve
hours and we were convinced that unless
It soon obtained relief it would not live.

rhoea Remedy was recommended, and

change for the better: by its continued
use a complete cure was brought about
and 1t is now perfectly healthy.-C. L.
