CHARITY

Two Curates. one good d-natured. the other opposite. lived together. The good -natured one went out for a walk and met a poor man. who asked him for assistance. The curate said he was only d poor man himself, but if he had coin in his pocket the man should have it. To and behold, when he pulled his hand out of his pocket he showed a half crown, which he did not know about and gave it to the man. thinking he had done an act of kindness. When he got back to his lodgings he told his fel- low curate of his experience. His fellow curate heard the story out and then said You need not be surprised at all: you have got my trousers on!"-New York Globe.

Washburn respectively in the sixth days play of the annual tourna- ment of the United States National lawn tennis association.
 Johnson defeated Strachan 2-6, 6-2, 64. Williams defeated Washburn 6-1, 7-5, 6-3. In both cases the scores in dicated clearly the superiority of the Victors. Williams will play Nat Niles and Johnson will face the champion, Maurice F. Mclaughlin on Monday The winners in turn will play for the national singles on Tuesday. As the field stands, Mclaughlin is opposed by three eastern stars but owing to his wonderful game against Clothier, he is the faVOrite and expected to win the championship
 During the day arrangements were completed for the banquet to be tend cred to the winning Davis cup team in New York City next week. It is planned to hold a celebration of return of the international trophy at DelmOnicos, Wednesday, if the tournament ends here Tuesday. Dwight r. Davis of St Louis, the donor of the cup will be present to deliver q. speech of congratu- lauons. to the men responsible for it's recovery. Every former national cham plon with the exception of Richard Sears. has already agreed to attend, as well as members of the former Ameri- can Davis cup teams. At the banquet a duplicate of the Davis cup will be presented to the members of the vari- ous teams who have not already re- ceiVed one.
 Of the two matches scheduled here Monday, the Mclaughlin Johnson con test will be staged on the grand strand court.

UNION AGAINST BONDS

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1
 SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 23-The members of the local union No 22 of the United Brotherhood of Car penters and Joiners have declared their intention of not voting for the municipal railway extension bonds at the coming election here because the election commissioners have awarded a contract for printing the ballots to nonuniOn firm. The union is one of the largest in the United States
 The action Of the carpenters was taken after a delegation from the pressmen's union had called atten- tion to the fact that an ordinance passed in 1899 provides for union printing on ballots for municipal elections. Resolutions declaring that the carpenters declined even to dis cuss the bonds, much less to vote on them since the ballots were printed in a nonunion shop, were adopted The allied printing trades council took a similar action in protest.

ORIGIN OF HIsToPHELEs"

There has been much discussion concerning the origin of the word MephstopheIes" in the past. which has moreover. as yet ended in no very satisfactory conclusion. Some very bizarre explanations had been propounded before the time of Goethe, W ho was himself forced to own to the musician Zelter in a letter of November 20. 1929: T cannot give any definite answer to the question. Whence comes the name Mephis- topheles?
 According to one theory it was a h brid Greco Hebraic formation of mephis and tophel Cthe liar): ac- Cording to another it's entymology was entirely Greek-very dubious -mephOstophilos, he who does not love the light" Though this de r.vation is hardly acceptable. it ap- pears that this was the original form fer the name, the second vowel being replaced by at first in England. whence it was taken into the popular German mysteries.
 In the last number of the Goethe Jahrbuch," Herr Oehlke gives an en- tirely novel derivation which if far fetched. has at least the merit of orf-
 
 found in chapters ". and XV of the Second Book of Samuel Mephi- bOschetu and Architophel He re- minds us that it was customary in the middle ages when giving names tC evil spirits to refer to the Old Testament. Hence the combination 'MephistopheIes.
 The explanation is not perceptiblv more absurd than others Goethe himself had a trick of using the ab- breviated form "Mephisto' when it suited the eNgencies of his meter. It may be remembered that this par ticularly irritated Schopenhauer, who wrote in his pamphlet "On the Mur- der Verhunzung) of the German Language: The foolish desire for brevity goes so far as to cut off even the devils tail by writing "Mephisto' for 'Mephistopheles.' /" m Westminster Gazette.
