Real meanInu Of Cross.

It is said that the signature Of a
Cross, much used on old documents, Is
often misunderstood to mean ignor-
ance on the part of the signer. 1t was
sometimes due to inability to write,
but quite as often among the Saxons
It was an attestation Of good faith. a
form Of oath that the statement was
true. 1t WAS often required Of the
signer that he add his oath to his
name, and the CROSS wac used as often
In this sense as because the man
could net write.-Exchange.
