Back ia the good old days when

man acting rs lis substitute occupied
the drivers seat upon the box. The day
was a beautiful one. and the passen-
gers were enjoying their drive keenly.

lance lessened between them and the
town Of Sodom. with its promised
pause for refreshmeDt.
Suddenly as the heavy stage lum-

Later. back at the inn. when the eX-

Her Old Sweetheart.

A young man and a young woman
lean over the front gate. They are
lovers. 1t is moonlight. He is loath to
leave, as the parting is the last. He is
about to go away. She is reluctant to
let him depart. They swing on the gate.

FASHION IN {
Some Words GO Out of Favor ana
Win Their WY Back.

The history of the race Is written In
the words it uses. As we grow and
change, SO language grows and
changes. Mr.. Leon Mead In his book
Word Coinage points out that some
words go cut of fashion and come
back. like tan shoes and wide trimmed
hats, although the change in words IL
much slower tnan tEe change i'll dress.
In Sponsors day ''forestall,' '~'eain,"
"scathes." 'askance," ''embellish" and
"dapper" were not considered good, but
they have since gained responsibility
and won their place in the language.
The seventeenth century regarded as
obsolete a number of Chaucer's words
TRANSCEND bland" sphere"
"biitho," franchise" carve" IAN

TO life again and walk the pages of our
literature in full vitality. Other words

teenth century rejected are ''plumage,'
tapestry tissue" ledge "tren-
chant resource" "villainy," 'thrill,'
"yelp,' "doyetail."
Bacon did not have the good word
"encycloDedia,' but used the heavy
equivalent, circle learning"

It is hard to trace the history of a

In England treasure trove belongs to
the crown. According to the law, if
any II finds hidden treasure and con-
ceals it for his own use he is liable to

some encouragement to English treas

the laws of treasure trove only apply

years, and his selection was made from a
list of fourteen travelling auditors, some
of whom have been in the service of the
company for as long as twenty years or
more.
Mr.. Green has been the auditor for this
district for little less than one year.
Prior to entering the service of the B. &
o. he had been with the Central Railroad
of Georgia, the Seaboard Air Line and
