HumbIe Pie.

We often hear Of eating humble
pie" In the old hunting days Of "Mer-
rie England when a stag was brought
down. the quarry was broken on the
spot. the choice parts OF the venison
being reserved for the huntsmen. while
the entraiIs. heart. liver. etc. called 10
the hunting language OF the day the
'.numbles." were given TO the common
people.
OF these they made pie called
"nnmbie pie Hence to eat humble
pie" became to abase oneself -apoio-
gize abjectly The transition from
humble pie to humble pie" was
easy, especially in view Of the signih-
canoe OF the word.
