DesIgnated by Nickname.

In many places in Great Britain, and
especially in some of the fishing villages
of Cornwall and of certain parts of
Scotland, such thing as a genuine
surname is never even heard; every
man in the place is known by nick
name
In most of these villages this has
been brought about originally by the
fact that all the inhabitants have only
had very few surnanes among them.
One or two prevailing families have
represented the population and have
married and intermarried till trying to
/ distinguish a man by his surname has
only created confusion. And even some
of the nicknames have begun to act in
the same way. AT village not very far
from Wick the writer knows of some
fisherman who had originally been
nicknamed "Dumpy, and had left so
many descendants that other specific
nicknames had been necessary to dis
tinguish which of the .'Dumpys' was
meant on given occasions.
At another village. not far from this
one, several nicknanes have in the
same way become the only known fam
lily names The writer was once III the
general shop here when small boy
came in and asked for some article.

BE STRONG.

Be strong to bear, 0 heart of minei
Faint not when sorrow comes.
The SUBMITS of these hills of earth
Touch the blue skies of home.
So many burdened ones there are,
Close journeying by thy side
Assist, encourage, comfort them,
Thine own deep sorrow hide.
What though thy trials may seem greaty
Thy strength is known TO God,
And pathways steep and rugged lead
To pastures green and broad.
Be strong to love, o heart of minel
Live not for self alone,
But find in blessing other lives
Completeness for thine own.
Seek every hungerine heart TO feed,
Each saddened heart to cheer,
And where stern justice stands aloof
In pity draw thou near.
Kind, loving words and helping hands
Have won more souls for heaven
Than all the dogmas and the creeds
By priests and sages given.
BE strong to hope, o heart of ninel
Look not on life's dark side,
For just beyond these gloomy hours
Rich, radiant days abide.
Let hope, like summers rainbow bright,
Scatter thy falling tears,
And let Gods precious promises
Dispel thy anxious fears.
For every grief Lethe comes,
For every toll rest.
So hope, so love, so patient bear;
God doeth all things best.

ADJUSTMENTS AND SPORTS
The Business of The Carnival Goes
Rapidly On.

An interesting and important meet
ing of the amusement and sports COM
mittee of the carnival association was
held at the room of the board of trade
yesterday afternoon. President Nc
Cowan of the association is also CHAIR
man of this committee and presided
at the meeting. The amusement feat
ure was discussed in an informal way
and a general outline of the program
for carnival week was agreed upon.
This includes a miners drilling con-
test, ffremens tournament, baseball
and football games and various other
attractions. An extremely entertain
ing program for Friday will consist of
cowboy specialities, such as bronco
busting, steer tying and relay races.
Thursday will be Elks' day, when the
town will be turned over to that fes-
tive creature.
The committee on amusements and
sports will convene again at the board
of trade room at 2:30 o'clock on Mon
day afternoon, when the program will
be adopted in detail. For that reason
every member is requested to be pres
ent at that time.
a meeting of the committee on priv
day afternoon at the board of trade
room and all members are urgently
requested to attend.
The social committee will hold a
meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
The supply of carnival envelopes is
exhausted and barely more than half
the town has been supplied. Another
5000 will be printed Monday and will
be ready for distribution on TUESDAY.
The demand for these env Jpes has
been very great. Persons lot yet sup
piled will be looked after as soon as
p-Tsible.
Secretary Pratt of the street railway
company yesterday entered his sub
scription for 5000 on the subscription
lists. A Redewill subscribed s25. This
makes the total amount raised thus
far to be $3.50. 1t is thought that the
soliciting committee will be able to
raise the subscriptions to $4,000 this
week, as that is the sum it is desired
to reach
