Job Eastman of Anoka Dead.

Job Eastman, we'll known to many
OF the older residents of Princeton,
dled at his home in Anoka, Sunday.
MIR: Eastman was native of Maine
and was descended. from Puritanic
stock. He was born in 1927 and came
TO st. Anthony in 1858. In the palmy
days OF numbering on the Rum river
Mr.. Eastman's chief occupation was
hauling supplies from Anoka to
the plnery camps, and many's the

who had not seen the game, to believe
that it was sort of an old ladies'
afternoon quilting-bee, with each team
doing the Alphonso- CASTOR stunt,
insisting that the other team take the
ball and make a touchdown, as neither
could find it in their hearts to do such
an ungentlemanly act as to score on
their opponents. On the contrary,
however, it was hard fought, bitter
ly contested game all the way through
and to gain yard of the other fell
lows territory was like pulling the
proverbial eyetooth. It was good
exhibition of the great American col
lege game and the teams of both
high schools went at it hammer and
tongs, with grim determination to
drag the other teams colors in the
dirt. However, fate and all her as
sistants were out "doing" the Pitts
burg Detroit game, the Johnson
Ketchell fight and some of the other
larger sport attractions that were
pulled off last Saturday, and the
Princeton-Anoka game had to remain
a tie, 0 too.
The game was played on the Anoka
grounds. the Princeton team, with
small crowd of faithful followers
going down on the morning train.
Owing to term of court the hotel was
crowded and the Princeton team, after
eating hasty 1:30 dinner, was
bundled into bus, hurried out to the
field and, in the slang OF the day, in
structed to chop to ito
Capt Roos won the toss and chose
to defend the west goal, the wind
favoring this slightly. Anoka kicked
off to Princeton's 2O-yard line, Prince
toms right tackle returned 10 yards,
Roos circled Anoka's right flank for a
25-yard gain but in the mix-up that
followed Anoka got the ball. After
two unsuccessful attempts to gain
Anoka punted to Princeten's 5-yard
line. Galley returned 10 yards before
being downed. Jesmer went through
the line for yards. Berg added
three more on a line plunge. Roos
punted to Anoka's 25-yard line and
Robideau fell on the ball. The Anoka
line frightened and the Princeton backs
could not gain. On the third down
Princeton tried fake drop kick which
failed to work and the ball went to
Anoka on downs and they Immediate
ly kicked it out of danger. The ball
see-sawed back and fourth in the
center OF the field for the remainder of
the first half, with neither side able to
make any consistent gains. 1t looked
rather bad for Anoka for a minute.
when Robideau for Princeton caught
a forward pass on Anoka's 7-yard
line, but the play was called back by
the referee.
The second half was repetition of
the first, with the ball in Anoka's
territory the greater part of the time,
but when Princeton would get within
striking distance of Anoka's goal the
defense would tighten up and there
would be "nothing doing" in the
line of scoring.

When Double Names Began

THE giving of double names really began
among fOundlings. Though the nameless
little unfOrtunates had as one of the names
given TO them a surname. II was as well bap-
tIsmal name; for when the waif had no name
at all II was necessary 70 supply IL with the
full complement. This custom began in 1900
a full century before it reached the more for
tunately born children. The English records
show numerous instances of the naming of
tOund1ngS. the surname usually being deter
mined by the locality in which the children
were found. For example. a child found IN
Mark Lane, London was christened Mark
Lane, probably much prettier name than the
one 1t would have received if properly born
Others were Renold Falcon. a child born in
Falcon Court. Mary Porch. a founding left
under porch HarbOttles Hart. a child found
at Harris door; Peter Grace. named from
SAINT Peters church. Many fOundlings were
given piOuS names. evidently in the hope that
their names would influence their future

Embarrassment from a Surname

THE use of surnameS for Christian names has
sometimes produced situations more or less
embarrassing TO the pOssesSOrs. During Presi-
dent Cleveland's incumbenCy the name of
Jack Wharton of Louisiana was presented for
presidential consideration. the well known
LOuIsianian desiring some sort OF office. Mr.
Cleveland. not knowing Southern families. de-
clined to consider Mr.. Wharton. it is said, on
the ground that he would not give a responsible
office TO any man who was SO undigniied as to
have himself presented as Jack When it
was explained TO the President that Jack was
the surname of an old family given to Mr.
Wharton at baptism. he FASTENED To apologize
and, If | remember correctly, Jack Wharton
got the office.
In Kentucky a well known surname is
Major. and it is sometimes given as Christian
name to boy babies. On one occasion young
woman visiting from the North met man who
was introduced quite informally as Major
Clarke. 1t never occurred TO her that Major
was other than a title. and she took every Op-
portunity TO address him by it. He and his
friends saw the joke but said nothing. and until
she met Colonel Major. the Young mans uncle
she called him by his first name.
The hyphenated name. popular among our
arIstocratic SurnameS. grew out of the desire
to evade the One-name law. which even as late
as the beginning of the eighteenth century was
not dISregarded by the older fashioned folk
