Gedeon Has Slide All His Own.

Joe GedeOn, the New York American
second baseman, keeps the opposing
base guardians guessing as to how he
is going to get TO the base.
His manner of sliding into bases
differs from practically every major
Lacquer now in the game. His usual
method to get to the bag is to dive
for it head first, hooking it with one
hand and curving his body as far as
possible from the baseman. Occasion
ally, just to fool the fellow who ex-
poets to nail him coming into the base,
Gedeon slides to it in the regular
standardized manner. Gedeon's phe-
nomenal batting and fielding babe fair
to make him the baseball find" of the
season, but he has fallen off badly.

The first settler Of the Nichols and
Nichols family in this country was prob
ably a member Of the London Horse
Guard At any rate he was a daring
cavalryman, and in his new home in New
England he was captain of the Train
Band. This was Francis Nichols, who

with him three sons and one daughter
He was one Of the original proprietors
who with sixteen other families and the
Rev. Adam Brakeman, settled at STRAIT
ford, Conn, on a large tract OF land In
1899. Isaac, one OF the sons of Francis
Nichols, was born in England in l625.
He and his family settled In New York
state.
OF an entirely different family of
Nichols was Richard Nichols who
settled in Ipswich, Mass, in 1888 A
son of Richard Nichols named Thomas
Nichols served in King Philips War. BY
his wife, Rebekah Eaton, he had many
children who settled in Massachusetts
and New Hampshire.
The name Nichols and Nichols Is
traced back to the time of King Edward,
the Confessor, of England. At that time
one Nicholas de Albini, alais Nigel or
Nicholl, went to England from Nor
mandy and there established a large
and distinguished family of the name.
The coat-Of-arms depicted Is
described Azure two bars, ermine, In

scribed thus: Out of a ducal coronet or,
a demi lion rampant.

To interested who asks whether a

macy.
It is a curious fact that this expression
OF bar sinister" one Of the most fire.
quently quoted Of all heraldic terms, is
a misnomer. Strictly speaking there
could not possibly be any such thing as
a bar sinister A bar in heraldic Ian

is meant by the expression bar sinister

is really bend sinister" A bend IL a
device running across the shield from
the upper dexter corner Of the shield 70
the lower sinister corner. When this
runs from the upper sinister side TO the
lower dexter II Is called a bend sinister
Although this bend sinister is sometimes
used to indicate an ellegitimste branch
OF a family Il does not by any means
always mean this A curious fact to re-
member when speaking OF the bend sin
lister is that while we say II runs vrom
the upper sinister or left hand corner 10
the lower dexter or right hand, we moxt
remember that in heraldry we speak OF
the night and left, the dexter and sin

the one wearing il Just as the right
sleeve OF a coat is the left hand sleeve

as We approach It. Much confusion
would be avoided II this were always re-
membered.

Answers to Correspondents.

To D. A. R., who writes thus; 81
would like to ask a question concern
ing q coat-of-arms. 1t is known that
q certain family has a right to a coat
of-arms. If a person can trace his
descent from an ancestor whom he
knows to be a member of his family.
although he does not know the exact
family, has said person a right to the
coat-of- arms? Would like to know
something about the Bell family,
especially the coat-of-arms."
The claim to the coat-of-arms de-
scribed by this correspondent seems to
be a fair one and, no doubt, as good
as many of the claims through which
Americans bear the coats-of-arms OF
English ancestors. AS a matter Of fact,
Americans do much as they please re-
garding the bearing of coats-of-arms,
although there is always a satisfaction
in using a coat-of-arms that has sctu-
ally been handed down from father to
son from the time of the colonial an
cestor who brought 1t, engraved on old
family plate, or In a letter seal, from
the old country.
At one time in England this mat
ter was regulated much more strictly
than it is today. and no one but
the elder son might bear the exact
coat-of-arms of his father. The other
sons, having a lesser claim to the coat
of-arms, changed it by means OF So
called differences, such as the substi-
tuition of one emblem for another, and
the alteration of colors. 1t is for that
reason that in certain families many
branches have many coats-of-arms
differiNg slightly from each other.
Strictly speaking a woman ought never
to bear the crest; and the other por-
