Why a French Author Went.

1t is told of the French romance
writer La Fontaine that his wife once
found him at his desk weeping bitter
~. To her solicitous inquiry he ex-
planned that it was the woes of his ia
vorite hero which caused his tears.
But" she said, "why not put an end
to them?"
"Oh, it is too soon to do that he
sighed. II am still in the first volume"

Mandy Pamby.

The term ''namby pamby," which
has come to be applied to person Of
vacillating character as well as to
weak literary productions, was origi-
hated by the poet Pope. He applied it
to some puerile verses that had been
written by an obscure poet, one Am
brose Phillips, addressed to the chill
dren Of peer. The first half Of the
term is meant as baby way of pro-
nouncing Andy, pet nickname for
Ambrose, and the second half is simply
jingling word to fit it.
