Why Endanger success or Happiness OF
Children by NonsensicaI Sobriuuets.

Children by Nonsensica1 Sobriquets.
Grandfather led the revolt in behalf
Of the twins. The twins themselves
did not object to nicknames. Ellery
answered placidly to any call Of
Punch and Lucy responded as
promptly to the name of Study" as
she did to her real name-which in
deed was not saying much, for the
little lady had mind Of her own, and
obstinacy to match. But grandfather
spoke for both.
Sounds funny, you think?" he said.
It'll sound so to other children when
this boy and girl go to school. They'll
call Ellery and Lucy Punch and
Judy too, and pretty soon half the
folks in town won't know what their
real names are.
"By and by, when Ellery gets into
business, it may not seem so amusing
to him. Say he's closing trade with
some stranger who needs to be treated
with dignity, persuaded that Ellery is
a solid man, and some old schoolmate
happens along and sings out, Hello,
Punch! Or suppose some other stran-
ger is struck with Lucy's appearance
and inquiries about her, and is told:
"'Oh, yes, that's Judy Hopkins,
Punch's sister,
'See anything funny in that?"
II know man who might be high
in public to-day if it hadn't been for a
detestable nickname. Some boy called
him Turkey Wetherell-'Turkey' be-
cause of the attitude he took when
running,-and just because the thing
was so ridiculous it has survived and
handicapped him in more ways than
could mention in an hour.
Il know staid and dignified ma
iron, who in her own family, when
she was little girl, was hailed as
'Shanks.' Well, the name got out, as
such things always do, and though it
didn't become public property exactly,
it has served to shame and humiliate
her many a time.
"How do you know but that the
nickname you bestow in love and use
as kind of caress will some time be
be turned to the purposes Of hate?
What right have you, anyway, to en-
danger this boys success and this
girls happiness? Very likely they, too,
will be nicknamed, anyhow, by other
children, but don't you set tNe other
children bad example. This family's
business is to make Ellery and Lucy
respectable and respected, not to put
on tags that'll make people laugh at
them"
That was the longest speech grand
father had ever been known to make.
Orations were not in his line. But
when he pulled his hat down over his
eyes and stamped along the hall to-
ward the door, he carried the certainty
although nobody had answered
word-that he had converted his audi
ence.

you NEVER CAN TELL.

"You think you debut YOU don't"
Barnard Shaw
In the touch-and-go of the daily show
Where The virtues are highly priz ed.
We've a conscience sweet with the
mild conceit
That we're looking down WITH a
Jove-l:ke frown
On the Turk or the Hottentot
While we spread our wings like the
perfect Things
Which we think we are-but we're
not.
This nation Of ours, as it tells the
Powe's.
Is the land of the free and the
brave;
In God we trust, and we're awfully
just,
And we haven't the sign of slave.
No peasants toll on our chainless soil,
AS labor the sons of the Gar;
For we're not in the hooks of lie
fierce Grand Dukes
We think we're not-but we are.
There's no great span 'twixt the Con-
gresham
And the humblest Mick in the
ditch;
We see no charms in a coat Of arms,
And we don't bow down to the
rich.
We never Craze with a thankful gaze
In the fields of the parvenu;
We never stare at a millionaire
We think we don't-but we do
