the power of the states. Mr.. Taft,
amid applause, made frequent refer

Mixed as to Names,

A young woman who has a treach-
erous memory for names had a
droll experience not long ago. She
had encountered in a railway sta
ton a face that seemed familiar to
her. She remembered that she had
met the young man at the house of
a friend some weeks before, but for
the life of her she could not at all
recollect his name. Finally, howev-
er, when the young man stopped to
shake hands she asked:
Surely this is Mr.. Tombstone,

The stranger smiled. ''You're

Leeds Pottery,

Leeds is probably the most cos
mopolitan center of industry in all
England, that of pottery being the
most ancient. This industry rose to
some eminence at one period, both
in regard to domestic and ornamen-
tai ware of the white filigree order,
but now the only branch which re-
mains is that of artistic majolica, in
which we find real works of art in
the choicest of designs and color
ing. Such productions, worthy of
special note, are the flower vases
and pedestals for the same, small
vases and other ornaments, and it is
doubtful if either the Moors, who
founded this industry, or the Ital-
ians, who developed it, produced
anything superior to the modern
pottery from Leeds.-Consular Re-
ports.

Some newspaper readers and here
and there an editor, holds it is part
of the duty of the newspaper man to
sit in judgment on frail humanity
and jab his trident into every person
suspected of delinquency. But the
most of US take the position that it
is more kind and just to assume that
our neighbors are innocent until
proven guilty, and in some cases to
keep silent out of regard to the feel
ings of innocent relatives. Editor
Wilson ably expresses this attitude
in the Lamberton Star: There are
some people in this locality who had

has not published the many little bits

blame in these affairs. We are hu-

MIDDLE NAMES.
They Used to Be illegal According to
Old English Law.

Old English Law.
Middle names, hard as it is to
credit in this generation, were once
Illegal. The old English law was
very definite as to the naming OF
children and, according to Coke,
"a man cannot have two names of
baptism" ct is requisite" this
law goes on, "that the purchaser be
named by the name of his baptism
and his surname, and that special
heed be taken to the name of bap-
tism."
Royal personages have always
been allowed to have more than one
given name, but as late as 1900, it
is said, there were. only four persons
in all England who had two given
names. In 1920 the Maynower sail
ed for America, and there was not
man or woman upon it who had
a middle name.
Even century and a half ago
double names were very uncommon.
The English used to dodge the law
at times by ingeniously compound
ing names. Thus on old parish reg
listers in England there is occasion
ally seen such combinations as Fan
nasabilia, which is Fanny and Sibyl
joined together, and Annameriar,
made up of Anna and Maria. Maris
is one Of the earliest middle names
of record for boys. It was given in
honor of the Virgin Mary. As much
as they dared, beginning along in
the eighteenth century, parents
evaded the zone name law"
But even as late as 100 years ago
custom was against the middle
name. If the names of the signers
of the Declaration Of independence
be looked over it will be found that
only three of them had middle
names. The first five presidents Of
the United States had only one
name each-George Washington,
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison and James Monroe.
Before Grant, eighteenth of the
line, there were only three double
named executives-John Quincy
Adams, William Henry Harrison
and James Knox Polk.
When middle names got going
and became the fashion, the law
having dropped into disuse, parents
went to work combining names for
their offspring enthusiastically. One
custom was done away with in Eng
land in consequence of this, the
plan of naming the eldest son for
the estate, particularly when he sue
ceeds to that estate through his
mother. This old idea is still fol-
lowed to some extent in this coun-
try by the mothers maiden name
being given to the eldest son. 1t

manhood and so has a positive val
