 Game flashing down the way I saw The Spring come riding
 And O, her face was sweet Ten thousand little drops of rain
 Did gali0p at her feet Then thousand merry cavaliers
 In shining armor neat l saw The Spring come riding.
 And none might say her nay So all the birds began to sing
 A gallant rUundelay. AS minEtrels sing in balconies

 All in 8 Eleaming braid Nor have I seen in many a day

"son Of Matthew" just as truly as

pause and consider for at the time
that surnames were forming parsons

before the Reformation and celibacy
Of all priests and parsons was every
whore required. This IS" has been
explained by saying that it stands
for possessive but not in the sense
OF a son. The first who took Par
sons as a surname was rather SER
want or retainer of a person. John
Parsons was John the parsons man.
The name Persons seems to be de-
rived from Parsons and in some
cases these two forms have been
used inerchangeably by members of
the same family. Robert Parsons

MARKET Strong
AS YEAR CLOSES
Short Day Featured by
Large Number of Cash
Sales

NEW YORK. Dec. 81 Omitted
Press. )-Early trading on the New
York Stock Exchange today was
again featured by a large number OF
cash sales. This. Of course, is the
last day to establish losses for this
years income tax return. Changes
in prices were unimportant. Sears
Roebuck was one of the leaders and
the early trading showed a continue
ton Of the upward movement.
Steel Common opened unchanged
at S3%, but independent steels we're
fractionally lower. General Motors
made an early low at 9M. which
was the low price of Friday. Sugar
stocks were slightly higher. st. Paul
Preferred which led the rails at the
previous session opened down 7s at
S2M.
An easier tendency developed. Re-
actions of a point or more occurred
in Mexican Petroleum and the PAN
American, Sears Roebuck and Rub
ber shares. Some big blocks Of u. S.
Rubber Common we're offered as low
as 54. Among the Independent
steels. Gulf States sold off nearly a
point to 46%. There was a continua-
ton of selling in Burns Brothers.
and the stock was Off point on the
first sale.
Stocks quoted at prices lower than
year ago have suffered more as the
result of selling to register losses
than any other group. Many former
holders will buy back these issues
after today. For this reason. trad
ers look for a better market in Sc
curities Of this class after the first
OF the year.
