Julia, my dears,
It's put up SO firmly you need have no
fears;
Since you were here last there's lot
to be seen.
Take a look at my garden, all starting
up green.
l. ont forget the new chickens out back
of the shed,
And when you get hungry there's fresh
gingerbread"
When we go to Aunt Esthers, we wear
our best clothes,
We hold up our heads and we turn out
our toes;
We look at the album with pictures so
old,
When father was only a baby, we're
told
But when she says, children. here is
your treat
For I know you like sweeties and nice
things to eat"

Duties of O1d-Tfme Caryers.

At the formal banquet of the six
teenth century the man who carved
the meat was bound with the red tape
of precedent. When carving for dis
tinguished guests he had to remember
that certain parts of the birds or meat
must be set aside. In carving for his
lord and lady he was expected to ex-
ercise great discretion in the size of
the pieces he sent around, "for ladies
will be soon angry and their thoughts
soon changed, and some lords are
soon pleased and some not, as thew
be Of complexion" He was expected
to have the rules both of the kitchen
and the peerage at his knife's end. A
pike, for instance, must be dished nm
whole for a lord, and in slices for
commoner folk. The rank of his
diners, too. determined whether a mig

plain or with gold leaf, or whether
new bread or bread three DAYS old
should be eaten.

PERSONS OF MANY NAMES.

Farmer LaO with n Name LOT Every
Letter in the Alphabet.
One cannot help sympathizing with
Lieutenant Tollemache, who, after
grooming for many years under the
burden of seven Christian names con-
tanning no fewer than sixty letters,
has at last decided to jettison five
of them and to be known for the fu-
ture as plain LEO de Orellana Tolle-
mache," a designation long enough
surely to satisfy any reasonable man.
And yet the gallant lieutenant, ac-
cording to Tit-Bits was an enviable
person compared with the other mem
bbers of his many named family, nine
of whom share 1913 Christian names
among them, ranging in number from
ten to seventeen, the latter number
being the baptfsmal dover of one of
his sisters, who if ever she has time
to sign her full name must write:
"Lyona Decim Veronica Esyth Undine
Cyss Hylda Rowena Viola Adela
Thyra Ursula Ysabel Blanche Lelias
Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache."
After such an autograph as this one
turns with relief to the royal sigma
ture of the Empress Dowager of
China, which contains but paltry
flfty-nine letters, or to that of a native
of Hawaii who is content with fifty
one letters, eight of which are ks
and fifteen as
That a multiplicity of names is not
the prerogative of the higher classes
was proved few years ago when the
infant boy of Buckinghamshire
farmer was presented at the font with
twent'si Christian names, each be-
ginning with a different letter of the
alphabet, from Abel to Yariah and
Zachariah, and when a farm laborer
handed list Of twenty-one names to
the vicar of church near Tunbridge
Wells as the dover of his baby bow.
Fortunately for the child, the father
was induced to cut down the allow
ance to half a Dozen Even thus we
can imagine that in future years that
boy will look with envy on the off,
his children One Penny. Two Penny.
and so on, up to the full shillings
worth of pennies
The absurdities of Christian names
are illustrated in a Sussex jury list
of the seventeenth century which may
be seen in the British museum. Among
the jurors of that time were Safety
on-High Snat of Uckfeld Kill-Sin Penn
BILE of Westham, Fight-the- Goodnight
of-Faith White, small-Hope Biggs
Faint-Not Hirst and Earth Adams. al

more remarkable than those given

Wife of a French Postal Official Got

Francis Lamure, one of the heads
of the French postal service, was treat
ed to surprise when he spoke harsh
ly to his wife, the New York Press
says. He reminded her that he was
the senior member of the family and
she snapped her fingers at him and
said: That's all nonsense. I am not
your wife. 1 have divorced you" La
mure thought it was a poor jest, but
he soon found otherwise. While he
had been away on postal inspection
duty his wife had divorced him. The
day he left his home his wife ap-
called in the house to serve writ
she said her husband had disappeared

Papers came for him in his absence,

on another trip and an absolute d.

his wife Informed him of what she
had done it was too late for him to
enter an appearance, the legal limit
having expired Lamure became so en-
ragged that he knocked her down. She
fell against chair and her arm was
broken. He was arrested for assault
and sentenced to six months. Then
his friends took up his case, with the
result that the court suspended SEN

White and mauve, instead OF black

lately deceased, has requested that her
children wear as mourning. She wrote
in her will, II am not afraid of their
forgetting me, and l want them to
be happy" When the Duke of Clar-
ence died, his mother, the present
queen, refused to wear Grape, and had
cheerful colors used in the draperies
at the funeral. Under such distin.
guished leadership, the depressing
mourning fashion is going out among
Engllshwomen, without in any way
affecting their respect for the memory
of the dead.

Advert Game.

One person must go out of the room
while the others choose an adverb,
such as pleasantly, GROSSLY, slowly or
haughtily. When he returns he asks
the company questions in turn, which
they must answer in the manner of
the adverb they have chosen. For in
stance, If they have chosen "sweetly"
for their adverb they must put an ex-
traordinary amount of sweetness into
their replies, but If they have chosen
"snappily" they must answer in an
equally disagreeable manner, or in a
spiritless way. The object is for the
person who asks the questions to guess
from the answer what adverb has been
chosen.

Lion, Wolf and Fox.

A Lion was old, weak and infirm;
all the beasts of the forest presented
themselves at his den to pay him their
respects The Fox alone did not ap-
pear. The Wolf took this occasion to
try to win the favor of the king of
animals.
II can assure your majesty" said
he, that it is only pride and insolence
which prevent the fox from appearing
before you. He is not ignorant of
your illness. and he is only waiting
for your death to take possession of
the throne"
IBID him come here" commanded
the king of animals.
He came, and. suspecting the Wolf
of having played him bad turn, said:
IT fear, Sire. that some one has
blackened my character in your mind:
but permit me to give you faithful
account of the reasons for my alb
sence I was on a pilgrimage, and
was fulfilling a VOW I made to aid
your recovery. 1 found in my journey
skillful and learned people whom 1
consulted about your malady; I have
been so happy as to be informed of
an infallible remedy"
What remedy?" demanded the Lion
eagerly.
ut is" responded Master Fox, "the
skin of a Wolf, wrapped, all warm and
reeking. about your body"
The king Of animals approved the
remedy. Instantly the Wolf was
seized and slain, and the monarch
wrapped himself up in the skin.

How wretched it must be- she said

And how her patched cloak flutters In

Just then an angel came along.

the angel.
II was looking at that girl" said
the child.

beautifully she is dressed"
What do you mean?" said the child
II mean this one coming toward U.S.
She is in rags, or at least, If her
clothes are not ragged, they are
wretchedly thin and shabby"
ooh, no. said the angel How can
you say so? She is sparkling white,
as clear as frost I never saw any
thing so pretty. But you, you poor
little thing. you are indeed miserably
clad. Does not the wind blow
through and through those flimsy tat
ters? But at least you could keep
them clean, my dear, and mended.
You should see to that"
II don't know what you meant"
