Queer Name. for ob,,ar.n.

Thousands of people go through life
cherishing a "grudge" against their
parents for giving them absurd or in
congruous names. The London Chron-
icle has collected several instances
where there seems to be ground for a
legitimate grievance. 1t is little won
der that demure and pretty girl in
a north London suburb feels resentful
when she has to answer to the name
of Busybody. given to her in honor OF
the winner of a race, fifteen years ago.
and among the names registered at So
merset House in 1898 are Airs and
Graces and Nun Nicer, which are in
nocently borne by two little girls who
may find them embarrassing fifteen
years hence. The appalling name OF
Wellington Wolseley Roberts Is borne
by young man who, in disposition
and appearance. is anything but mill
tant, and as little likely to win fame on
the battlefield as his predecessors.
Arthur Wellesley Wellington Wat
erloo Cox and Napoleon the
Great Eagar. Even these names,
inappropriate as they may be,
are to be preferred to Roger the
Ass, Anna Dominl Davies and Boadi-
cea Basher. To parents OF large fami-
lies the advent of another child is not
always welcome, but 1t is scarcely kind
to make the unexpected child bear a
token of disapproval. 1t must be rath-
er terrible to go through life, for ex-
ample. as Not Wanted James. What
Another, Only Fancy William Brown.
or even as Last of EN- Harper, or Still
Another Hewitt. And yet these are
all names which the foolish caprice
of parents has imposed on innocent
children.

Prefcrred Speech.

The spirit of love and kindness to
all which pervaded every word and
deed of Phillips Brooks, did not hinder
his keen perception OF others failings
an shortcomings, or his own. why In
the world doesn't Brown write his au-
photography. and have 1t publishedT"
said one OF the bishops friends. refer
ring to an incessant talker and most
egotistical man. who had been wasting
an hour of the bishops precious time
by a rehearsal of some unimportant
happenings why. he'd rather tell 1t,
of course" said the bishop: and then
like flash came regret for the quickly
spoken truth, and he turned on his
friend with half-humorous, half-dis-
tressed face. What do you mean by
asking me such a question as that
when I'm OF my guard?" he demanded
reproachfully.

Tn. An,.o.a.ns. of tho rurnlp.

Originally the turnip came from Eu-
rope. but has spread almost all over the
world. 1t grows luxuriantly in Sibe-
ria, and is known all over Asia. The
turnip in its wild state is found in
many parts Of North America, but is a
small and inferior article compared
with those with which we are familiar.
As food for cattle. turnips. especially
the yellow sorts. are excellent; but
they should never be fed to cows that
are giving milk. as they impart an ex-
tremely unpleasant flavor and odor to
the milk, and. for some reason or other
that dairymen do not understand. the
milk from turnip-fed cows has very lit
tie cream.

We All Think go.

A Philadelphia exchange gives the
following opinion of small girl. The
words express what many older peo-
ple must have felt. In the waiting
room of a large railroad station sat a
grave and dignifed little girl OF per-
hans fye years. Presently man In
railway uniform came in and bawled
out a long list of perfectly unintelli-
aible names. The little girl looked at
him disapprovingly. Then she looked
at her uncle and said; Isn't that an
awful silly way for great big nan to
talk?"

depredations of the latter are such
that in Funafuti the Indigenous breed

Attracted by bait previously distri-

The game was not an Individual but a

rats were accounted the winner, and
II the rats were plentiful three or four
games were generally played.

A Curioua Find.

A curious find is reported from a Gu
riosity shop in Pittsburg. Pa. A rusty
blunderbuss. supposed to be OF last
century English make. had It's butt ac-
cidentally smashed. The portion was
found to be quite empty. Inside was a
bit of paper. bearing the date 1861 with
writing to the effect that John Winter
desired to leave all his worldly goods
and his blessing to his eldest daugh-
ter, Maria Winter. There is no allu-
sion to locality. SO 1t is matter for
speculation as to whether this long
lost will referred to property in Eng
land or America. There appears to be
a blessing. and perhaps something
more. for anyone who can claim Ma
ria Winter among his great-grand-
mothers.

War is on between the stage COM

one walking out Of town. II the
rivalry continues the day is not far
distant when the companies will pay
a premium for passengers as was
done by the stage companies plying

company quotes "the lowest rates."

''quicket time" whether it be to Mon

columns will be found a fresh an
nouncement from each Of the CON-

is the completion OF the Montana

An Important School Decision.

State Supt. OF Public Instruction
Carleton last week decided a new
point concerning the school law, but
one which will be OF interest to every
school clerk and superintendent In
the state. The difficulty arose In the
Havre district where the clerk re-
turned on his census roll the names
OF a number OF minors whom the
county superintendent claimed were
not legal residents, her contention
being that they were but temporarily
employed along the railroad line or
were listed by the parents in other
districts. The superintendent hav-
ing stricken these names from the roll
roll the district appealed to the su-
perlntendent. Residence is a mixed
question OF law and fact" says MI.
Carleton. at il made up Of act and
intent. Mere stopping In a place as
an employee, forafew weeks or months
VI NNNh Jthios WIN ho iubtueiOh WI
making n permanent home, is not re-
siding, within the meaning OF the
law. Whether one Is a resident or
not depends upon the particular facts
OF each particular case. Ii Is often a
question most difficult to determine,
and 1t is not strange that school
clerks, In their natural zeal to have
as large a census as possible, some
times err In deciding whether or not
a child ia q resident OF the district.
l am satisfied the practice has been
to list many minors who could not
prove a legal residence In the district.
The law ia faulty and should be more
specific. At least 30 days actual resi-
dencs In the district should be re-
quired before the minor should be
enumerated"
