Keep 1t TO Yourself.

If friend has done you harm,
Give it pot widespread alarm,
Show him his wrongful play;
Help him to mend his evil way,
And keep it to yourself.
If youhear of one "gone wrong"
Do your best to make him strong.
Never kick a man who's down
Or aid the gossips of the town
Keep it to yourself.
Errors men commit live long,
Men are weak and men are strong,
Help the weak to see the Light;
Lead them on the path to Right
And keep it to Yourself.-Edward

These is an impression out in the
county that there are many cases of

attacked are now about well. People
who want to come to Columbia to
look after business, in our judgment
taks no risk.

LUELLA

I UELLA is not the simple combina-
Il ton Of Louise and Ella nor yet
Lulu and Elisa as many people
suppose. It IS a distinct history Of
Its own. It appears early in Welsh
genealogis where it is spelled LEV.
The first Lew was the king OF the
Orkneys who married king Arthur
sister and was the father Of Oval
chmaL From this name was formed
the masculine Llewelyn Of romance
Another Llewelyn came over Ireland
with Richard Strongbow-
History does not record when and
where the feminine Luella was
formed 1t seems merely TO have
sprung up in England when the need
arose for a feminine counterpart to
the popular Llewelyn who rapidly be-
came Lionel under the magic tough
OF romance and poetry. Luella has
had much more vogue in this country
than in her native Wales. It is con-
sidered rather quaint and old FASH
