Origin Of "AIoernon."

The name Algernon was originally
"als Gernon," and was first applied to
one of the crusading Percys. His
name was William, but his fellow
knights called him William ais Gernon
or Gernon, meaning William with the
Whiskers, or just Whiskers for short.
AS Algernon the name has persisted
in the family to the present time, and
the tenth duke of Northumberland,
who died recently. was Algernon

the people think otherwise.

Mr.. Wilson is considering the ap-
pointment of peace delegates. Some of
the names mentioned have rankled IN
the minds of disinterested friends who
want to see America represented by
broad minded and able men, instead of
the same type of provincialism which
mas caused dissatisfaction throughout
the country before. President Wilson
may not know it, but the morale of
his friends is at a low ebb. There is
no one but himself on whom resposi-
bility can be placed, and no one but
himself who can restore the confidence e
of the people in him at time when he
must needs tell European statesmen,
skilled in the bargaining methods of
the Old World diplomats, that he
speaks for America, which doesn t
want to see selfishness supcrsede a
spirit of justice at the peace table, an |
is particularly anxious that the sacri
fees America has made shall not have
