During the Transvaal war, the Eng

This sympathy the English did not

A sENsELEss FAD.
The Folly Of Changing Sensible hap
tismal Names.

uSmal Names.
In this age of fads there is none, per-
haps, indicating greater degree Of i'm
becflity than the fashion of styling
ones self by senseless and inappro-
pirate cognomen, or changing a good,
sensible baptismal name until it is
scarcely to be recognized, says the
Northwestern Catholic. If a child is
so unfortunate as to be given an ugly
name Though Christian) in baptism,
there is every excuse for that child to
+ choose some good. euphonious name,
adopt it in confirmation, and be known
thereafter by that name; but there is
hardly an excuse for any girl who has
been given in baptism that dear old
name, Mary" to change it, in her
insuperable folly and execrable taste
and ignorance Of good form, to
''Mayme' or, worse, Mae" or, worst,
''Maye." The hopeless incongruity of
such appellations, in connection with
sound old Celtic surnames such as
Flanagan" for instance, or "O'Sulli-
van," or kelly is apparent to any
one possessed of good taste or good
sense. Miss L. Maye Hoolligan," en-
graved on visiting card, may appear
quite au fait to certain of ''T. Maye's"
intimates; but to any one possessed of
a well-balanced mind it reveals more
| than a suggestion of vulgarity and alb
surdity.
These hideous appellations offend us
! on all sides. They appear in the daily
press, on entertainment programs, on
wedding invitations, and oh, how they
are trotted out on the occasions of
graduation! Here is the glorious op-
portunity for Mary Frances O'Rourle
to reveal her identity as "F. Mayme
O'Rourke"; for Miss Mary Alice Fitz-
patrick to announce herself to the pub
lie as 'M. Alys Fitzpatrick" and for
Katharine Margaret Mcclure, who
was once sensible child, to imply that
hencefortl she must be known as
Kathryn Marguerite MCGUIRE" How
these good, old Irish surnames are
disgraced by the company they are
forced to keep!
In the same class we are likely to
find "Maybelle" and "Edythe" and
"Ayce." If this fad We're INDUCED in
by the boys of what an array of freaks
the average parish might boast
''Patrycke" and ''Mychelle," "Jaymes"
and 'Johnne,' "Petyr' and Tymothe!'
And in this our day there are meth
ers who are responsible for such sins
against good taste as evidenced by
Reginald Murphy ''Lionel O'Toole"
and "De Lisle Dooley" In the face of
such an utter lack of appreciation of
''the eternal fitness of things we may
yet be forced to meet ''Redvers Bull
Ter OLeary.'
There is in Ireland custom of add
| ing the diminutive "een'' to feminine
names, and what beautiful poetic
names we find as result "Maureen'
Glittle Nary, 'Roseen'' QIittle Rose)
Kathleen and Eileen And how
fitting and musical they sound with
the Irish surnames. When we find
such names in this country we rejoice
to find Irish flowers blooming on
American soil.
! We find in the best circles in this
| country a wholesome tendency to cling
to plain Mary" and katherine" and
Margaret" Catholics who do other
wise are likely to have their intelli-
gence as well as their taste ques-
Etioned.

much clearer than their duty to the
Transvaal Uitlanders, and there was
plain method by which that duty
could be performed. He was as con-
WINGED as of anything in this world
that in the matter of tax Ireland had
been, and is now, unfairly treated.
And some of the shabbiest things in
history had been done by rich England
to poor Ireland.
Take the disestablisfment act in
1869 as sample When they abolished
the Irish parliament the imperial par,
lament took over the Maynooth grant
and the regium donum. They had
nothing to do with the Irish church
These were both placed as an imperial
charge, payable by the country as a
whole. What did Mr.. Gladstone do?
Why, he gave Maynooth and the Pres.
byterian church a lump sum of 5000.
900 and charged it to the Irish church
fund. At one stroke he transferred
this payment from being a general
charge upon the United Kingdom to q
charge upon an Irish fund. And
mark, it was taken over from the Irish
parliament as general charge. 1t was
an impudent piece of financial legerde
main. and if he could find English tc
express his meaning he would be COM
PEELED to use sharper and palmer
words.
Take another example of the
thoughtless dealing with Irish affairs
by England-the application Of free
trade to this country He was IL con.
WINGED free trader. Free trade had
done more than anything else to make
England what England is today. II
had done this because England is to SO
large an extent an Industrial country
Ireland occupies Il totally different pc,
sitiOn. Ireland is not industrial in
the same sense as England. Ireland
is agricultural. Nobody commended
that free trade has benefited the agri-
cultural districts of England as it has
done in the great centers of indus
try. Nothing of the kind. And what
helped to make England helped to I'M
make the greater part of poor Ire
land
Along with the advent of this policy
Ireland was scourged by desolatng
famine-n famine which absolutely
Frustrated the country. But for years
after these two untoward events Eng.
land imposed additional taxation upon
Ireland amounting to 100000 per an
mum. Her intentions We're of the best
Taxes We're taken off articles used by
the British consumer. But the Irish
consumer used little or none of the
commodities. Why did he digress
thus? For the best of all reasons. The
British taxpayer must come in here. II
could not be done without his aid
And lie would have to be shown not
only that there is Il case against him
on the accounts-and there is-but that
he had been guilty of some rather
shady transactions with his poor rela
tlOns-that, in short, there was a slate
Off which something had to be rubbed
And speaking for himself. and he
thought. for others. they did not care
how much of bonus the British tax,
payers chose to give to the Irish land
lord. But, at all events. he (NIr. Rus
selD made it plain that he desired tc
have this great problem solved upon
terms which the right-mindcd Irisl
landlord would have little reason tc
fear.

Father Darcy, an Irish wit, was
once invited by Il man who was known
rs an ignorant braggart, to visit new
and beautiful house which the person.
who had become wealthy suddenly
had bought. With more than his
usual pomposity the host dragged the
priest over the place and expatiated
on the excellence of everything that he
owned. Finally they reached the i'm
mense library where there We're thou
sands of volumes, all splendid in bind
ing. The host sank into one of the
great leather-covered chairs with a
sigh of contentment and exclaimed:
But after all, father. what is all this
luxury compared With my fayorites

pleasure to my wife and daughters,
but this is my place-right here among
these books. which are my friends
And these here on the disappointing

Father Darcy got up and examined
one of them, when a broad grin spread
over his good-natmed face. ''Well, it's
glad l am to see that you never cut
your intimate friends" he exclaimed.

A Would-Be Burglar.

When w. r. Rucker, one of
Keytesville's tonsorial artists,
went home about II o'clock last
Saturday night he hied himself
upstairs to close the window shut
ters as it was threatening to rain.
After going back down stairs
it was not long until he heard
some one walking on the roof
OF the east porch, trying to open
the window blinds as it had be-
gun to rain. Going out onto the
porch, Mr.. Rucker suggested to
his wife that he believed he would
shoot through the roof to see if
he could hit the intruder, but as
Walter didn't have so much as a
toy pistol or popgun he didn't
shoot. The threat, however, to
do so served its purpose, for the
would-be burglar lost no time in
climbing from the porch roof
to the roof Of the house, jumped
from the cave to the ground and
nothing more was heard of him
after he scampered away in the
dark. Walter thinks the inten-
ton of the fellow was robbery,
and that he entered the house
Saturday evening during the alb
sence of the family and went up
stairs in order to be ready to go
through his (Rucker's) pockets
some time during the night.
Walter had about $50 in his
trousers. He says he will be
fixed in good shape for the next
visitor who comes to his house
on similar mission.

Some Plums.

There are plums and plums,
but E. O. Williams, who lives on
the bar, seven miles southwest of
-Keytesville, has some plums. He
was in town Tuesday exhibiting
a branch, cut from one of his
plum trees, that caused a good
deal of comment and beat any,
thing that even our oldest inhab-
itants ever saw in plum produc-
tiveness.
The limb was about II inches
long, contained about 100 plums
and tipped the beam at 1 ga
pounds. The plums were SO
thick on the twig that they re-
minded us of a large bunch of
grapes.
They are of the Abundance
variety, and Mr.. Williams says
he has II trees just like them.
We are indebted to Mr.. Will
iams for this prolific sample of
his plum crop.
Mr.. Williams is also one of
Charlton county's watermelon
kings, and informs us that he
has good prospect for melons
this season although they are
later than usual.
We hope to be able to trade
the plums back to Mr.. Williams
for one of his most succulent
melons when they get ripe.
