Do Women Make Their Own Misery?



THE other day got a package
about the size OF a two-pound
box OF candy. But &c didn't con
tain any such delectable sweets In
stead it held letters
The letters were written on paper
in various shades OF pink and blue
and lavender. Some in ink and some
in pencil some vel written. some

A Few minutes more served to prove
that the man 70 whom these letters
were addressed didn't &ruple to
make love to married women. some
times he actually INDUCED in two az

Congestion OF Wheat
ReIieued At Gulf Ports

Chicago. III. Oct 27.-Congestion OF
wheat at the Gulf ports. which had
threatened 20 reach serious proper
tons, has been materially relieved
according 20 reports 70 the transpor-
tatl0n department OF the ChiczE
board OF trade. This department
which like the crop reporting depart
ment is maintained By the board for
the benefit Of producers and shippers
at an annual expense OF many thou
sand dollars. reports that general traf-
Tic conditions have materially im-
proved In the last few weeks.
Ten thousand cars OF wheat were
either on track OF on the way 70 New
Orleans and Galveston at one time,
with only a few small vessels avail
able TO reduce stocks. Strong efforts
we're made by foreign buyers to OBJ
tain tonnage, and shippers who had
sold wheat for Gulf delivery brought
great pressure 10 bear. The emhar-
goes against further shipments Of
wheat 70 those points were lifted
when some two score vessels were OBJ
tanned
A large amount OF wheat stlu at
Galveston and New Orleans viii be
cared for by fresh arrivals without
serious congestion. IL IS believed The
grain trade generally for e time felt
uneasy over the Gulf situation.

By FRANCES COWLES.
Is IT WUSON2

IT DOESN'T take very deep insight
into name origins 20 guess that
the firsr who bore the name VIZ
son was a son Of VIII or William.
Apparently no one has come Onward
with any suggestion for more Illus
though Wilson is not 80 usual ar
many other names. either in this
country or Great Britain &c "a de-
rived from a name that has formed
more last names than any other first
name. a name signifyiuE resolution
There are Wilson. Williams, william
son. Willis and dozens more besides
IN a list that would include the we'll
fl1wn and distinguished persons Of
New York, Chicago. Philadelphia and
Boston you would find that sixth in
the list comes Wilson. There are. in
fact more illustrlous med OF the name
OF wilson than OF the names Jones or
smith.
Although We usually think Of presl-
denr Wilson as Of English extraction.
the fact IS that his grandfather, who
settled I'm Steubenville. Ohio. was an
Irishman from Ulster, and Il has been
said Of him. as II was said OF Homer
OF old. that seven cities have called
him their son. AT any rate. the in
hahitants OF any number OF small
towns iu Ulster are quite willing 70
Of Wilson's Erandfather and the
graves OF his ancestors,
A student Of the ancestry OF presi-
dent Wilson says that the family
from which he sprang vas originally
an Ulster family. but have been scat
tered all over ireland, many having
gone TO Eugland in the 18th century
He further says that IN Ulster today
the Wilson's seem 20 have q monopoly
OF real estate and business affairs
The most usual names in the family
are John, Joseph, James and Henry
These wilson's have been sturdy ten
ant farmers. and like men OF the name
everywhere they seem TO possess
much laudabie ambition The motto
used by many Of these old Wilson's Is
this. Evil 20. him who evil thinks"
Another motto borne by the wilson's

is TT HARDING?

I HARDING Is one OF the last names
that IS derived from a first
name. A very great number OF
surnames are so derived. but the in
IterestinE thing about Harding is that
while the surname is still current Ga
the first name Of Harding IS obsolete.
II there are any who bear the first
name Of Harding nowadays il is prob
ably from the last name that they
7 have derived it. In the event thai
senator Harding IS elected president
next fan there will doubtless be a fad
for naming babies Harding, Just as no
end OF children have been named Nc
Kinley. Roosevelt and wilson. Ir
fact, every name that was ever borne
by one OF our presidents mas been Wis
tied upon some child at the time Of
his administration
The first name Harding is said 20
have been derived from two old words
here" meaning an army, and ing
meaning a meadow or place where an
army Is encamped-

the Hardings were descended from

Second floor.
GzAEIaA~ RSR

Members of Elias Howe Post, Jr-s G. A. R., were enrolled as honorary memb CTS of Raymond w. Harris Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, yesterday afternoon with impressive ceremonies.
 Led by Commander w. H. Lyme, more than 50 members of the V. F. W. marched from the Post to the G. A. R. hall and were received by G. w. Davis, commander of the Howe Post, and about 50 veterans, standing at attention. After the usual exchange of military courtesies the officers of Harris Post took charge of the exer- cises.
 Past Commander Frank Miller of the G. A. R. Post paid high tribute to the valor and patriotism of the young veterans, as worthy successor of those who in a few more years will pass to the great beyond, and expressed his desire to see an Auditorium built in this city, in the near future which would be used by all the military and veterans organizations. Other ad- dresses were made by Commander Lyme, Commander Davis, Adtutant Bennett of the V. F. w, and Aujutant Barnum of the G. A. R.
 The ceremony closed with a triple cheer to America and to the veterans organizations.
