THE CURFEW AT CHERTSEY
Romantic Association Of Pretty Eng

At shutdown the little Surrey village
of Chertsey will re-echo to the toll
ing of the curfew bell. which. in &C
cordance with ancient custom. is
sounded every evening from Septem-
Der 20 to March 20.
1t is appropriate that Chertsey
should thus maintain the custom. for
the village has interesting "curfew
associations. The curfew bell which
hung in Chertsey abbey tolled for the
funeral of Henry VI. murdered in the
Tower of London and hurried to
Chertsey TO be buried without priest,
clerk, torch or taper, singing or say

The abbey was also the scene OF
the romantic legend which relates
how Blanche Heriot, to save her
lover Neville, nephew Of Warwick the
Kingmaker, condemned to die at sun
down, climbed the curfew tower and
held the clapper of the great bell The

ORIGINATED IN ARMY RANKS
Expression That Spread Far Nsd Its
Inception in the Mess Room
OF Officers.

Capt Henry G. Lyon. Y. 8. A.. was
the innocent cause OF the expression
about making noise like" this or
that. At Peekskill. in 1906, he gave
instruction TO officers OF the New
York National Guard doing duty in
that tour of camp. The first day he
formed the officers into class In the
big mess hall. whict; was open at the
sides, SO that all that went on inside
was seen and heard by the enlisted
men passing back and forth. In teach
ing the officers how TO give commands.
Capt Lyon impressed upon the class
the necessity of clear enupciation
and Of making commands like an OF
fieer, says Arms" not Jumps" etc.
The priyates' capacity for turning
things to their own amusement was
shown a few minutes after that nrst
class was dismissed, for officers going
through their company streets heard
privates in front Of group OF men
shouting out: Make a noise like an
officer" whereupon the entire class"
would roar jumps" A reporter sent
an account to New York paper, and
from this grew the expressions such
as Make noise like hoop and roll
away" etc. However. il Is seldom one
hears the words arms" or march,
the voice finding II much easier to
slur the word till it may mean any
thing. and as the preparatory COM
mand indicates what is to be done, the
command following is merely sig
nal for the execution Of what has al
ready been specified.

The Tickled Child.

The idea is firmly in the minds Of
many good people that laughter means
happiness.
This accounts a great deal for the
habit they have Of tickling children.
If they did but know it, the wild
shrieks and peals of laughter often
betoken anything else but happi-
ness.
To hold a child so that 1t cannot
get away and tickle 1t until It screams
with laughter is a wretched form OF
amusement
1t may work untold mischief upon
the child's nervous system.
II is quite possible to bring on an
attack of hysteria in this way.
More than that. II is bad for the
childs temper. Several persons now
grown up have confessed to q posi-
tive hatred for persons who thus tor
mented them.
A little of II Is no doubt harmless.
