There are some very funny stories
told about the derivations OF words
since people are likely to twist their
language into strange forms. Thus.
the pope is even today called by the
name ''pontifeX." which boys in the
Latin class all know Is taken by him
from the title Of the old Roman priests.
Now 'pontifex" means bridge builder.
and il is true that the Roman priests
In the early days Of the republic were
In charge OF bridges, but probably Il
should be 'pomptifex." meaning max
er of ceremonies" Many OF you have
wondered what the priest had to do
with bridge building. and this little
change Of mt" u mp makes the
whole matter clear
An astonishing derivation Is that Of
the word stranger. which we are told
comes from the Greek word ex. or out
Of. Absurd as this seems. Il is easy TO
understand lex means out. from or
away. the same word as the Latin ex;
hence comes extra. Then comes the
Latin extraneus, which means outside
The old French word. from this.
estrange, means an outsider. but
estrange gave us the word stranger
by dropping the and stranger by
dropping the Q.

Incident Shows How Hard It Is to
Trap the Merry Insurance
Chaser.

A certain woman who wished
to have some fun at the ex,
pense of an agent who had oft
entimes solicited her to insure
herself and family asked him on
one occasion if he would insure
the cat. The agent, to the as.
constituent and no small amuse-
ment of some friends, promptly
offered to do so, provided she
paid the first premium down.
The woman, still thinking to
hoax him, expressed her willing
ness to do so, and placed a dol
lar on the table. The agent
quickly produced a proposal,
filled it in and obtained her sig
nature while those present were
on the tiptoe of expectancy as to
what was to follow.
"Now, madam, with your per
mission, may l see the cat|
Certainly" she replied, al
the same time pointing to a
glass case which contained the
stuffed remains of the poor de
funct cat.
A chorus of derisive laughter
burst from all present, but tC
their dismay the agent turned
bowed politely, at the same time
picking up the dollar and ex
claimed;
"When the cat dies, madam
kindly call at our Office ant
claim the insurance money

OPTIMISM OF G%REATVALUE
Practice Of Looking Always on Bright
Side Of Things Is Worth
%cultiVating.

Probably there's no one quail
ity which ought so to be cult
waited to its highest point, yet
which is made so little of, as is
optimism.
"My children are so unlike"
signs one mother. "Eleanor is
happy all the time, no matter
what happens, and Edith is as
sure to be depressed by tridesp
That other mother came more
nearly to the heart of things
when she replied:
81 believe that children are
nothing but little reaectors
when they are wee, and that if
you yourself are deliberately
CHEEKY they will give it back to
you unconsciously. l believe,
too, that if you keep it up long
enough they will, as uncon-
sciOCsly, form the habit of being
optimistic"
The second woman's children
are the sunniest little mOrtals in
the wOrld-thev're forming the
habit of optimism, and they'll
find it a mighty valuable asset
later on in life.
After all, although disposition
counts for a great deal, persist
emily forcing yourself to look
upon the bright side of things
is laying the foundation for
character building on a very fine
plane, and the man or woman
who oyercOmes a naturally wor-
rying disposition adds strength
as well to the sweetness of char
acter he gains.
