CLERK MEANT TO GET EVEN
Of Course Congregation Could Get Away, But He Had the Minister
 in Tight Place.

There was bad blood between the parish clerk and the minister of eer- tain country church. Neither of them ever missed chance of getting a bif of his own back.
 One Sunday the clerk had a special invitation out to church with a friend after the evening service, whereupon he asked the minister if he would mind keeping his sermon short.
 It was too good chance to miss. The minister took few deep breaths, and preached for one hour and quar- ter by the clock.
 By this time the old clerks wrath was at boiling point. He hardly wait ed for the preacher to resume his seat before springing up and announc- ing loudly:
 Psalm one hundred and nineteen. Fro end t end. He's preached all evening, and we'll sing all meet r'- London Answers.

Writer Contends That Present-Day Appellations Lack the Eupnony
 of the OIden Times.

Speaking of New England names the genealogical columns of the Tran script are indeed standing proof that the seventeenth and eighteenth century names possessed much more of snap, flavor and euphony than our twentieth century names possess.
 Pick up the genealogical depart ment at random-any day-and you will find such fine and resonant names as Betsey Reyes, Patty Holbrook, Su- sanna Gates, Polly Arnold, Darius Dewey, Prudence Rand, Thankful Sawyer, Thankful Newcomb, Hannah Pike, Deborah Clark. and Jonathan Rich-aIl of which are from one re cent column. It is true that the same column contains names which are not exactly euphonious. and are indeed rather hard nuts to crack; these. for example: Leafy Bullard-a woman l; whence the name of Leafy-Hatsel Higgins, Sparrow Higgins, Abigail Nash, Zeruiah Jewel, and Alley Lock wood. In the previous number of the same department are found the names Content Brown Tabitha Holdredge, and Keturah Bassett.

Tooth PuiIer,s ead Reputation.

ITO lie like a tooth puller" is in Le Roux de Lincy's Book of French Proverbs" (Paris 1S59), quoted from the Dictionary of the French Acad- emy" (1S35). The tooth puller in those days was often a wandering mountebank who drew crowd by tell ing Rabelaisian stories and indulging in horseplay. He sold quack medi- cines. and, of course, lied prodigiousIy. Lannelongue's explanation of the ori- gin is more amusing, though 1t is so circumstantial that it breeds suspi- cion. Furthermore-and this is con- clusive-'.to lie like tooth drawer is in Phi1ibert Joseph Le Roux's Die tionnaire Comique" Amsterdam 1718) with this comment, 'sNo one lies more outrageously than a tooth drawer, who promises not to hurt, which Is not possible" And Le Roux quotes Poissons' one act play, -The Basque Poet" (1668), "But all of you lie like like tooth pullers.''

WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE
Small Boy SatifTed That the Bill for His Three Days Fun Was Not
 Excrbitant-

At last little Freddy was allowed 10 visit grandpa all alone. They were great friends. and had long waited for the great day.
 Freddy had the time of his life. Grandpa saw that he wanted for nothing. The small boy ate more cream buns in those three days than he would otherwise have done in three years, while his pockets bulged all the time with candies.
 But there comes an end to every thing, and Freddy went home again, pale yellow of complexion. and languid and feverish. Mother promptly sent for the doctor. who ordered him to bed, and sent him some very unpleas- ant, but doubtless healing medicine.
 Grandpa came next day and was permitted to creep upstairs to see how the sufferer was faring. He found the small boy lying wan and pale on his pillow. but received watery smile as a welcome.
 "Oh, grandpa" said the weak little voice, i've been awfuIly bad-but it was worth it"

Threadingham, who kept telling about his maiden aunt. Sarah. and how she had left the money which had been promised to him to home for the chill dren of drowned sailors. Again and ] again he told me this story, and yet, when the battle was over, he took his oath that he had never opened his lips all day. As to me, I cannot say 1 whether l spoke or not, but I know that my mind and my memory were clearer than I can ever remember them, and I was thinking all the time about the old folks at home, and about
 cousin Edie with her saucy, dancing eyes. and De Lissac with his cats Whiskers, and all the doings at West Inch which had ended by bringing us here on the plains of Belgium as a cockshot for two hundred and fifty cannon
 During all this time tbe roaring of those guns had been something dread ful to listen to, but now they suddenly died away, though it was like the Hull in a thunderstorm when one feels that worse crash is coming hard at the fringe of it. There was still mighty noise on the distant wing, where the Prussians were pushing their way onward, but that was two miles away. The other batteries. both French and English, were silent, and the smoke cleared so that the armies could see little of each other. It was dreary sight along our ridge, for there seemed to be just few scat tered knots of red, and the lines of green where the German legion stood, while the masses of the French ap- peared to be as thick as ever, though, of course, we knew that they must have lost many thousands in these at tacks. We heard great cheering and shouting from among them, and then suddenly all their batteries opened to- gether with a roar which made the din of the earlier part seem nothing in comparison. It might we'll be twice as loud, for every battery was twice as near, being moved right up to point blank range, with huge masses of horse between and behind them to guard them from attack.
 When that devils roar burst upon our ears there was not a man down. to the drummer-boys who did not un- derstand what it meant. It was Ma poleon's last great effort to crush us. There were but two more hours of light. and if we could hold our own for those, all would be well. Starved and weary and spent, we prayed that we might have strength to load and stab and fire while man of us stood upon his feet.

CHAPTER XII.
The End of the Storm.

Of all the things that seem strange in that great battle, now that I look back upon it, there was nothing that was queerer than the way in which it acted on my comrades. For some took it as though it had been their daily meat, without question or change, and others battered out prayers from the first gun-f1re to the last, and others again cursed and swore in a way that was creepy to listen to. There was one, my own left-hand mate, Mike
