HARD TO REGULATE READING
Normal Boy and Girl Have Tastes
Which They Should Be Allowed
to Indulge.

Much nonsense has been put forth
about the regulation Of children's read
ing. This is a late day to attempt a
rigid censorship Of an urchin's literary
acquaintances, and as for leading him.
there is probably no method better
than that Of our grandfathers-to turn
him loose In a mans library and let
him taste its strong fare. For the rest.
any normal boy ought to relish the
absurdities Of the dime novel, and any
natural u ought to be able to wal
low in the sentimental fairy tale
B-Ood-curdling adventure Is as neces-
sary to the diet OF the one as sugary
romance is to that Of the other. Even
the watery pap provided by the aver.
age Christmas book or in the pages Of
the ordinary children's publication.
probably does little harm IL less good
to the adolescent morale.
But We have a class Of writer's 'ior
you'll" whose influence Is really de-
mOralizing. Il Is their postulate which
the comic supplement develops to the
point Of nausea. We mean that order
Of scribbling parasites who make a
business Of fattering children into the
belief, or the working hypothesis"
that they are wiser and better than
their elders.-New York Post

The name Morrison, Morrison, More
son. Murison and Maryson has as
many explanations as 1t has forms. 1t
has been variously claimed that 1t Is
a name indicative of Moorish infiu'
ence OF some kind; that 1t means the
son of great warrior, that 1t signifies
mighty" and that 1t means the son
of Maurice. or the son Of the disciple
Of Mary; this last explanation would
indicate that the name was borne by
a family who had some church proper
ty, the property of disciple OF the
Virgin Mary. Whatever its meaning,
It is one of the Oldest and worthiest
names in all Scotland.
Lewis is a little island on the west
shore Of Scotland, and there is ira
dition that the founder OF the clan
Morrison went there from Norway,
and there is a tradition that he was
Mores, a son Of the Norwegian king.
At any rate, the family became one
of the most important on the little
island, and for hundreds OF years the
leader of the family was the hereditary
Judge of Lewis This position was
one of great influence, for the Judge
had power of life and death at
his fingers end. About 300 years ago,
after a feud of many years duration,
the Morrisons lost their position of
leadership to the McLeods, and so
lost their hereditary position of Judge.
All the Morrisons in this country
are probably descended from this an
cient Scotch family, although all OF
them cannot trace their descent. But
there is one branch which has its
lineage clear from the last Of the
hereditary judges.
Rev. Donald Morrison. and Rev.
Kenneth Morrison, two brothers, and
the ministers of the two parishes Of

were there during the siege, when
about 1000 of the inhabitants were
driven outside the walls, where they
were at the mercy Of the missiles OF
the enemy, and where many OF them
who were not killed starved to death.
His sons came here In 1779, James to
found the Windham branch Of the
family and John the Peterborough
branch.
John, the father, who had married
a second time, was the moderator OF
the first town meeting at Windham In
1742. He gained his title in the New
Hampshire regiment Of militia, and
was present in 1853 at the capture Of
Louisburg from the French. The In
scription on his tomb stone reads:
Though am buried in the dust,
hope to rise among the just"
The lieutenant's son, Samuel, was a
soldier in the revolution, and fought
under Gen. Stark at the battle OF Ben
nington. It was at this battle that
Stark said, pointing to the Hessians:
Boys! You see those Hessians! King
George paid four pounds, seven shil'
lings and sixpence apiece for EN-.
/ reckon you are worth more. If not,
Molly Stark sleeps a widow tonight"
Samuel came through the battle I'M
hurt, and his descendants possess q
razor case he picked up on the battle
field.
There were other first settlers
named Morrison in Londonderry,
among them Robert Of Ireland, who
came in 1919, and who had three chill
dren, Robert, William, and Sallie; and
Samuel, Jr, born in Scotland, who
had John, Samuel. Mary and Susanna.
Three brothers, William, David and
Hugh Morrison, established the family
in 1926 in Nottingham, N. H. They
had an uncle who went through the
siege of Londonderry mentioned
above. of whom 1t was said that he
watched all day, hoping to catch @
mouse to appease his hunger, but it
escaped into the wall, when he burst
into food of tears"
In Virginia the family was estab.
lished by John from the north of Ire
land, and in Pennsylvania by Gabriel,
also from Ireland. Gabriel and his wife
were noted for their piety, and used
to ride over three miles every Sunday
to church, with their children in the
saddles before them.
The arms Of the Morrisons are
blazoned:
Argent, three Moor's heads couped
sable two, and one banded Of the first.
Motto: Pretio prudent ia praestat.
Crest: Azure, three Saracens heads
conjoined in one neck, ppr. the faces
looking to the chief, dexter and sim
lister sides of the child.
1t is said that one Kenneth More
accompanied Lord James Douglas into
Spain with the heart of Robert the
Bruce in 1880. When the two Scottish
men arrived in Spain they found King
Alonzo XI. engaged in war with the
Moors, and accepted his invitation to
join the Christian forces. Then, one
day, the story runs. Kenneth slew
three Moors, and cut of their heads.
A shout went up from the ranks. zone
Scottish Christian More can kill three
Moors." they said. And so it came
about that three Moor's heads were
blazoned on the Morrison coat Of
ar'us.

Real Early Rising.

Farmer Brown and Farmer Jones
we're near neighbors, and many a dis
pute took place as to who was the ear

excelled the other.
One day Farmer Brown determined
to put the subject to test. Rising very
early one morning, about two O'Clock
he proceeded to visit his friend. Great
was his establishment when he saw
Mrs. Jones hanging out the clothes in
the garden.

Lewis, were born about 1920, and were
grandsons OF the last of the judges.
1t is said that Kenneth, who was a
staunch Presbyterian, used to walk to
church with drawn sword, for the
times we're troubled in Scotland, and
that he had two men stationed always
at the door to the church, guarding
the worshipers with drawn swords.
Kenneth had son, Rev. Allen, who
in turn had a son Alexander, tax
man. His children we're John, DON
aid and Allan, and in 1865 Donald and
Allan ehigrated to Canada. John
stayed in Canada but his three chill
dren, Donald, Roderick, and another
Donald, all left home. The first went
Canada, the last to Australia and
Roderick, who died in 1854, settled In
the Mississippi.
Many Of the Canadian Morrisons
came before very long to the United
States. One Of the Canadian mem
bers of the family, Roderick, the son
of Donald, was called the white
Bear" by the Indians, in reference to
his great physical strength, and In
the war of 1912 he was at the head
of the Indian forces Of the Lake SUI
perior region. William, the SON Of
Allan, who emigrated to Canada, was
the FIRST white man to discover the
sources Of the Mississippi river, which
he did in 1911.
This Williams son. Of the same
name. left Canada and settled in Cali
fornia; and Williams uncle, Allan,
settled in the upper region Of the Mis-
slssippi. He was a member Of the
legislature, and he married a full.
blooded Indian princess.
The Morrisons Of New Hampshire
are another big branch of the family
who claim descent from the old Sent
tish hereditary judges. John Morri-
SON, and his sons James and John, es-
tablished this branch. John, the IA
Their, was probably born in Scotland.
