GLADYS-(No. 6S)

Gladys Is one Of the most euphonious
of names. and / have never known q
girl named Gladys that was not pretty
and engaging. Indeed, 1t seems that
only babies promising to become fine
women are named Gladys.
Yet the name itself describes one of
the most glazing defects that could fail
to the lot of a pretty girl: Lameness.
Gladys is Welsh for Claudia, which
name Is Latin for lame one
Claudia is, of course, the feminine
of Claudius, that being the appella-
ton of family of ancient Rome. the
earliest ancestor of which was name
after physical drawback. Neverthe-
less the ridiculous politician, in the
course Of time, achieved the imperial
dignity. Emperor Claudius and his
adopted son, Nero Claudius.
The Britishers' craze for adopting
their sovereign's name did not start
| with the Georges; after the Romans,
under Claudius made themselves mas
ters of the Isles, British mammas and
papas made haste to impose the name
of the emperor on their offspring. In
the Cornish country Claudius became
Gladuse, in Wales Gladys was adopted
for girls. About the male form OF
the name, the Welsh do not seem to

Claudia Quinta was a Roman
maiden, sadly maligned by the Cos
sips. When, In the year 206 B. c. ship

Ever since a king of France called
one of his daughters by the male name

as to its identity of certain historical
personages, whether they were men or
women. 1t is safe to say though that
the majority OF celebrated Claudes
were men. Thus the Scotch Claud

LineoIn's chln.fly Story.
(From Judge)

lFrOm JuuBe)
A certain amount OF trouble is a
good thing
Lincoln used to illustrate the point
with a story about a ''chin-fly."
It seems that once a man was plow-
ing with a very lazy mule. Suddenly
the mule lifted its head, switched its
stump of tail. and went across the
field at rapid walk and with most
unusual energy.
Reaching the end of the row, there
was man on the fence. When the
mule and man came up. the fellow got
down. walked over to the mule, and hit
him a slap on the jaw. at the same time
remarking. well. ! killed him that
time!"
KILLED what?"
why, that chin-f'y!"
"Well, you interfering fool. I wish
you would mind your own business!
That chin-fly was the only thing that
made this mule go!"
