SICKNESS IN
WAXAHACHIE
More Gases of Illness this Spring
Than in Former Years

more cases OF Illness this Spring
Than in Former Years.
Physicians and druggists say there
are more cases of illness in Waxa-
hachie this spring than in former
years. Perhaps there is not so much
serious sickness, but spring languor,
loss of appetite, headaches, sleepless-
ness. backaches, weakness and de-
bility, Indigestion or an overworked
stomach, are more common than they
have been Tor some years past.
This has resulted in an unusual
demand for Mona stomach tablets
at Hood and Curlin's. Before they
felt that they could recommend this
remedy, they tested it rigidly in
many cases of heartburn. indigestion
wind on the stomach, debility, and
other troubles that result from
weakened digestion, with the great
est success.
In fact Mi-o-na has been so uni
formly successful in curing all stom-
ach troubles that Hood and Curtin
give signed guarantee with every
so cent box to refund the money if
II does not cure.

About Names
Boston

BOSTON owes its name to Roman Catholic
- saint Early in the seventh century a
Catholic monk named Botolph founded a
church in what is now Lincolnshire, England.
As the years went by, town grew up around
the church, and was called Botolphstown
This was shortened for convenience into
Botolphston, then to Botoston and finally to
Boston John Cotton came to America from
that town, and named the New England capital
after his native village.

Spel1ings

NOWADAYS, if a man whose name was
~ Brown should spell it Broun, Broom,
Browen, or Brun, he would no doubt get into
variety of complicated troubles. Such a
diversity of photography does not seem to
have annoyed the English poet Shakespeare
however, for his name appears with FIVE
different spellings, two of which are in his
own handwriting.
In the register in the church at Stratford
the name of the greatest English dramatist is
written Shakespeare. 1t appears as Shaks-
peare in the body of his will; but this same
will is Endorsed, Mr. Shackspere's Will" The
poet himself wrote his name SHAKESPEARE and
Shakespeare, and now it is spelled Shakespeare.
Sir Walter Raleigh had numerous ways of
spelling his name. 1t appears at different
times and places as Rawley, Raleigh, Raleigh,
Rawley, Rawleigh, and Raweley.
There is Ben Jonson's signature in which
an H appears.
Dryden often spelled his name with an l.
Samuel Butler, author of Hudibras," was
known to write his name Boteer.
DR.. Crovne was SO anxious to have his name
pronounced correctly that he wrote it six
different ways.
The French name Villers during the history
of that family, spelled fourteen ways.
The girls name Maud was one of those that
have come down through the ages from the
Saxon. Maud was originally Magyar, which
means to be able.
From the name Hannah the Greeks made
Anna and Anamas. Anna growing in favor
sent off various other upshoots, among which
are Annette, Anita, Anne Nancy, etc
The name JOhanan brought to England
by the Crusaders. Later it was contracted to
John. In Ireland it became Shawn, and in
Scotland Ian. 1t took some years for this
name to reach Russia. When it did it was
called Ivan, and in Germany it became Hans
The word William comes from ancient
Teutonic mythology 1t derived its origin
from one OF three Primeval gods, Odin, Will,
and We.
In like manner we have Margaret from the
Persian, meaning the child of light Barbara
from the Greek meaning strength, Agnes from
the Roman, Catharine from the fourth saint,
and countless others.

The Real Mother Goose

MOTHER GOOSE was no idle dream of
1<A the imagination, but real and tangible
personality, who lived in England in the latter
half of the seventeenth century and the first
half of the eighteenth. Her name was Eliz-
abeth Foster, until she married Isaac Goose
and became the stepmother of his ten chill
dren, to which she afterward added six.
Her daughter Elizabeth married Thomas
Fleet, a printer of Boston. Fleet was a
shrewd tradesman, and made a collection of
the stories and rimes with which Mother
Goose used to amuse her numerous brood.
They were published as, Songs for the
Nursery, or Mother Gooses Melodies for
Children printed by T. Fleet at his printing
house, Pudding Lane 1910. Price, two
coppers." Mother Goose died in 1857 at the
age of ninety-two.
