THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
GOSSIP"

OSSIP" or GOSSIP" as
~ Chaucer spelled 1t, was
the name given by the Hamp-
shire peasantry to the persons
who acted as sponsors in bap-
tism, the godfathers and god
mothers. 1t was a compound
word, made up of the name
God" and the word "sib," still
used In Scotland I'm the sense of
"akin"-the meaning being that
the gossip was akin to God and
stood In this relation to the
child, sense which is still ex-
tant in our own word god
parent"
Considering gossip" in its
ordinary use as one addicted to
tattling or prattling or the car
rying of tales and it appears to
bear little relation to the word
as originally coined. But 1t
should be remembered that the
"gossibs" were brought by a
common sponsorship into a
close familiarity with one an
other, which led eventually to
trivial. idle talk and the carry
ing of information from one to
another. That this failing is
not peculiar to Anglo-Saxon
godparents is evident from an
examination of the French word
commerage and the fact that
commerce has passed through
precisely the same stages as
its English equivalent.

MOTHERS MAKE MEN.

CAMUEL MATTHEW'S VAUGHAN,
- head of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works in Philadelphia, has had wide
experience in the selection as well as
the handling of men.
He admits that he has a method,
secret, in making his selections.
HE FINDS OUT WHAT KIND OF
A MOTHER A BOY HAS, and pays
no attention to the father. In the
course of long business life he has
made few exceptions to this rule.
This theory Of Mr.. Vauclain has a
negative as well as positive side.
Ii explains not only why so many
undistingulshed fathers have dlstin-
guished sons. but also why so many
fathers who are failures have sons
who are successful.
There are two sides to the question.
For one thing there is a tendency ON
the part of a boy to derive his pre-
dominant traits from his mother.
For another, the mother is obvious
iy more instrumental than the father
In creating the environment which
plays a large part in the development
of the sons.
In the average home the problem
Of providing a minimum of income
which is the duty of the father-is
much less complicated than the prob
$ lem of making both ends meet-which
Is the problem of the mother.
Long before statesmen ever dreamed
ef budget system. that method was
familiar to the women. In. one gen.
Grafton after another they have had
to pay their way with resources that
did not increase in proportion as the
families grew.
The carefulness, prudence and fore
sight that a woman displays in run
ming her house naturally show them
selves In the bringing up of her men,
children. II she is incompetent and
shiftless In one direction, she will be
the same In the other.
The mother, as distinguished from
the father, has played leading part
In the formative period Of men of con-
splcuous genius who have lifted them
selves by their bootstraps" into places
Of great eminence.
The mothers of Abraham Lincoln
/ and Napoleon Bonaparte supply the
only available explanations of the rise
to leadership of two men who are
types of success. under the most diff.
ficult circumstances.
Character made possible the passage
from log cabin to the White House
and from Corsica to the leading place
IN Europe and an imperial throne.

To do that, eat ponpernickel at 20 cents 8 loai' and a 45- cent dose of brains will line you up for a battle in this life, that you fear no one. By eating brains reg ularly your upper story may develop to such an extent, If 1t doesn't ex- plode, that you may be president or this universe and Paradise valley. one more chance you have by eating pom pernickel your muscle may swell up to a certain pressure of 421h pounds per yard.
