TRIED TO BE NICE.
But Fannie Made an Awful Mess Of IL

sighed Fannie's younger sister, "she
can certainly make a horrible mess Of
things. Last Sunday Charlie Evans,
having arrived at the point where he
felt he wanted his family's opinion of
me, invited us both up to take tea
with his mother. The minute l laid

would get in trouble-she simply can't

''Charlie's mother kissed us and, adj
dressing herself to Fannie as the elder,
said something about our being very
sweet to come and see daughterless

at Charlie and his two brothers and
replied feelingly that it must be a ter
rible disappointment to have only
them. Mrs. Evans, to rectify my sis
ters misrepresentation, told us proudly
that she had three more sons, not pres

by this time Fannie realized that
she had made bad beginning and
leaped further in with the supposition
that the other three were off having a
good time instead of moping at home
The older lady drew herself up and
said severely:

THE WORD "ALPHABET."
It Comes Through the Greeks and He.
brews From Phoenicia.

It Comes Through the Greeks and He
brews From Phoenicia.
When we speak of our A B C's as
our ''alphabet" we are using a word
hoary with age, that, as far back as
we can trace it, came from the eastern
shore of the Mediterranean sea, thou
sands of years before the Hebrews
went up there and took possession of
the land of Canaan. Back of the peo-
pie who occupied that land before the
events Of Exodus were written we are
not able to trace the word, for we
have not sufficient knowledge of them
or Of their genealogical history before
we find them in Canaan.
It has been only within recent years
that we have been able to know that
the word "alphabet' came to us from
the Phoenicians. Before that we sup
posed that it came to us from the He
brews, through the Greek AS we say
"a B C' the Greeks say "alpha BETA
(the first two letters of their alphabet),
which when it reached US became cal
phabet." This we supposed had come
to the Greeks from the Hebrews, who
called their first two letters 'alph'' and
''beth," but since then we have found
that both the Greeks and the Hebrews
got the word "alphabet'' from the same
source, which was the Phoenicians.
The people of Phoenicia had the
same letters, "alph" and 'beth," which
have suffered but little change in
sound down to our A and B. Alph
meant simply an OK, the sign of it
being a conventional ox's head, with
the lower part Of the face turned
slightly to it's right, and beth meant a
house. which was pictured by the rude
outline of a primitive dwelling, which
had superfuous line added to dis,
tinguish it from other characters very
like it, as we place a tail on @ to
distinguish it from an o. So the first
two letters of our A B C's were orig.
inally an OK and a house and gave
the name Of all Of the twenty-six let.
tiers which we call our "alphabet."-

Ask:
When well-known residents and
highly respected people of Princeton
make such statements as the follow
ing, it must carry conviction to every
reader:
Mrs. Mary J. Chute, across the
river, Princeton, Mimi, says:
"About three years ago I used Doan's
Kidney Pills for a long standing case
of kidney trouble, they cured me and
the cure remained permanent until
about year ago. At that time met
with an accident and my kidneys be-
came disorder ed. My back ached
severely and the least sudden move
ment would cause sharp pains to dart
through my loins. I often suffered
from dizzy spells and headaches. My
eyes became very weak and the kidney
secretions were irregular In spite OF
the use of many remedies, I failed to
get any better and at last when Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my at
tention I procured box at the Home

relief and am very grateful"
