WORDS THAT ARE IMMORTAL.
Empires and Kingdoms Flourish and
Disappear, But Language sur.
wives Times Attack.

Three children were playing on the
banquette-playing catcher" One
chased another into a tight corner,
and, triumphantly touching her, cried
Tag"
With almost the same words little
julius Caesar, or little Titus Sem
pronius. in the days when Rome was,
caught one another gleefully and
cried "Tacte!"
1t is said that the oldest tune in the
world is that sung to the irreyerent
words of We Won't Go Home Till
Morning. The Breton peasant sings
to this air the immortal chant of
"Mironton, Mironton. Mirontaine,' and
the Crusaders of King Baldwin used
to startle the echoes of Libanus and
Of Hermon with rollicking choruses to
the same succession of notes.
Philologists and a%ntiQuarians find
their most priceless treasures in
words describing frying pans and
chairs. BY the ancestry of words de-
scribing the commonest Of common
things the history of nations and en-
pires is revealed. Dust is the oldest
thing in the world.
These reflections are not strictly
new. But it is a comforting ref1ec-
ton, occasionally, to one of the COM
mon people to reflect that while en-
pires and majestic Kingdoms may rise
and tower for a day, yet the common
est word we speak is longer lived
than they.

your vicious enemy. OF course you
can take it back to your heart again,
