ble figure of a gilded fat boy on the side of the building facing Giltspur street. has finally closed its doors and will shortly pass into the hands of the housebreak- CTS.
 An inscription let into the wall of the tavern facing Cook lane procaims that This is Pye Corner, where the great fire of London ended after burning night and day from the 2d to the 10th of Septem- Der. 1866''
 The story surrounding the origin of the fat boy is told by W. J. Roberts, in Some Old London Memories" Facing east he writes, Ifs gilt fig- ure of a very fat boy, naked, save for the conventional vine leaf. It was on this spot, then known as Pye Corner, that the great fire ceased in one direc- tion.
 Expectations folk seized on the curi- ous coincidence that the fire originated at Pudding lane and terminated at Pye cor ner as being divine warning against the sin of sluttony. They. therefore, erected this over-gorged youngster, painted him in colours, and inscribed beneath. This boy is in memory put up of the late fire of London occasioned by the sin of glut- tony, 1666 :" The building is to be demolished in connection with the improvement which the city corporation proposes to carry out at West Emithfield.
 The fat boy. together with some old
 mural paintings in the bar and other relics, will, 1t Is hoped, find a resting place in the Guildhall museum. My lords, ladies and gentlemen, MT.
 William Shakespeare will be pleased to take wine with you"
 Some such announcement as this from big-voiced toastmaster Is likely to be forthcoming at the banquet to the hered- itary descendants of the English poets. to be held at the beginning of April next. Already the Poetry Recital society has received letters from people who claim
 to have the blood of the great poet in
 their veins. One correspondent. Mir. Wilf
 Shakespeare, claims to trace his descent
 from Shakespeare's grandfather, while
 another, a woman asserts that Joan,
 sister of Shakespeare. was her direct an
 cestor. An American journalist wishes to
 be present at the dinner because he Is of
 the lineage of John Dryden.

COMMON MISUSE OF WORDS
Modern Writers. In Striving for Ef-

Good English.

Those who find never-ending
pleasure in reading the works of Gold
smith. Addison, "Rollicking Dick"
Steele and our own genial Irving must
suffer something like literary nausea
In turning over the pages of some
modern newspapers in quest of news.
Why should the society editor insist
that a wedding occurred instead Of
taking place? But this abuse Of the
word seems venial when we turn to
the sporting page and find that every
event recorded from a dog fight to
running race is classy" 1t may be
assumed by some critics that this
word flashed upon the sporting fra
ternity as a great prize through the
revival of the Olympic games. Greek
authors wrote books now known as
classics. and by the same token their
athletic games obtained like desig-
nation. But why should a prizefght
be called Classy" Probably the
word is a slangy equivalent of high
class" At any rate, 1t is as illegiti:
mate and offensive as "brainy."
But the offending is not confined to

words would far exceed the limits of
any editorial article. Yet one can
hardly leave the subject without re-
cording solemn protest against the
phrase armed with a warrant" or
the aeronaut who "negotiates trip"
around the aerodrome. And one would
like to add that "inaugurate," which
means to fnduct in office, does not
happily characterize the running Of a
new railroad train or the opening sale
of autumn millinery.
The colleges Of America are doing
good work in their departments Of
English literature to prevent the wan
