WHEN A NAME MEANT MUCH
old English Law Made More Than
Two Applications illegal Royalty
Only Excepted.

People have not always been allow
cd the pleasure of having as many
names as they wish. Four hundred
years ago not even a middle name was
allowed in England. 1t was illegal.
The old English law was definite and
admitted Of no iufaction Of its ruling.
The only exception made to this
regulation was in the case Of persons
Of royal rank. If they wished they
could boast middle name, but woe
to the person Of ordinary rank who
was sufficiently unwise or obstinate
to insist on having more than two
appellations.
For the first offense he would likely
be tied to a whipping post and severe
ly lashed. For a second offense he
would endure some more lasting pun
ishment, perhaps the removal of his
thumbs or his ears. And If he still
persisted in his stubborness he would
be hanged.
There Is a case on record of man
who insisted on singning four names
every time he wrote his signature. He
passed through all the legal stages Of
punishment until he was finally
hanged.

CHERISHED LOST LOVE
Rejected Inventor Came Into His
Own Through Patent Con-
tribution Box.
BY cEcILLE LANeDoN.

1t was a patent rat trap that broke
| up the engagement Of Miss Viola Bar
| ton and Alvin Draper. It had sundered
them, brought out sharp definite an
nouncement from the estimable lady,
and a declaration from Alvin that 1t
would make no difference-he would
always cherish his lost love and
hope.
she was always fine as silk" in
sisted Alvin a year afterwards-"she's
finer than ever now. l don't see her
often nowadays, but she's always
friendly when we do meet. Maybe
time will make difference-time and
my damage suit"
The damage suit" was history in
the town. 1t all came out Of the rat
trap. Alvin had been left quite a
competence by his father He had
been always of an inventive turn. His
bright ideas and lovable, guileless ma
ture had attracted Viola at the first.
Then, after he had wasted time and
money in getting up various devices
that neither paid nor worked out, she
began to prod him up to get into some
steady, reliable business.
When Alvin invented his great rat
trap his flancee did not say much, for
it looked as though he had really
struck it at last. Manufacturers Of
hardware specialties encouraged him,
and some spectators rendered him a
small fortune for half interest. The
proud and hopeful Alvin refused all
offers.
II know good thing when see
it" he declared, "and I've got one this
time"
At the zenith of his inventive glory,
however, there came dampener. He
was sued for infringement on a pre-
vious patent. His attorneys told him
that it was a straight hold-up, that he
would surely win eventually. He won
the contention in one court, but the
decision was appealed. Two years
passed by, and the case was still
pending. 1t had cost him several thou
sand dollars in legal fees, and after he
had stubbornly resisted the pleadings
Of Viola to forget the whole thing and

suit was won.
He met Viola, her face beaming,
that afternoon. She had heard of his
success. Also that he was going TO
accept the offers of the manufacture
ers, give up inventing, and engage in
a practical business undertaking.
81 must congratulate you on your
good fortune" she said brightly. "And,
oh! what magic wonders you have ac-
complished with the church. The trus-
tees have raised five thousand dollars,
and my brother will be taken care of
as he should"
1--WE sort of reformed them?" insin-
uated Alvin, and he came a step near
er with the old-time love light shining
in his eyes. I've reformed myself
too, Viola. Is there any hope?"
ALVIN" said Viola frankly, 81 am
afraid mean l must confess that
you have invented new way to reach
my heart"

GOES OVER WALLS
TO FREEDOM
Convict Makes a Sensational
Escape From Prison.

Columbus, o., June 3.-Frank Coop
er, %, serving five years from Lucas
county for burglary, scaled the walls
at the pen and escaped. He was
working under Guard O'Bryant in the
yard at the women's department. He
has a tattoo mark of clasped hands
and a sword on his left forearm.
Cooper's escape is considered one
of the most daring and yet most
easily accomplished at the prison for
years. Cooper hoisted ladder to the
top of the old wall, which is 20 feet
high, at the east end of the outer
prison yard, climbed to the top and
threw the ladder back into the yard.
In spite of the noise this must have
created, Guard O'Bryant did not dis
cover his prisoner missing until he
strolled back a few minutes later.
How the fugitive made his way from
the top of the wall to the ground is q
question which is puzzling prison of

WHY CHILDREN LEFT SCHOOL
A Test in New England Town Showed
an Arithmetic Course Which Ex-
perts Didn't Know.

At recent school conference in
Philadelphia DR.. Leonard P. Ayres of
the Russell Sage foundation told an
interesting story.
He and his staff, he said, had been
asked to examine the school curri-
culum of certain large New England
town. He discovered that most of the
children dropped out Of that school at
the seventh grade. Probing further,
he found that the course in arithme-
tic in that grade dealt almost wholly
with the various tables Of measure
ment. He took ten representative
problems from this course and submit
ted them to ten business and profess
sional executives in New York city,
men whose salaries range from $4,000
to $4,000 a year. The story con-
tinues:
"The highest mark was scored by
the secretary of we'll known propa-
gandist society in social work. His
grade was twenty-five. There were
several zeroes. Two of the problems
were concerned with buying and sell
ing paper in bulk. One Of the men
who took the examination was the ed
itor of a magazine and another was
the head of a book-publishing house.
N"Both failed on these two problems.
They declared that the terms employ.
ed in the problems had not been in
current use for fifty years. Each Of
the ten men explained his low grade
by saying: 81 learned that stuff once,
but / haven't had any use for 1t
since.'"
