JANE

>TFHE quaint Old-fashioned name of
Jane has two equiyalents-Joan
and Jenny. II is one of the numer-
Gus names, both masculine and femi-
nine. that come from John and its de-
rivativeS. and signifies grace of the
Lord" John was originally Johannes
or Joanna.
The first feminine form to be used
many years after all derivatives OF
John had come into favor was Joanna,
the name of n holy woman of the Cos
pei. who was never canoni2ed, but re-
ceived her title of sanctity in honor of
one uf the St Johns. In the Twelfth
century. the feminine form sprang TO
real prominence in the south of France
ana north OF Spain. Jehanne and
Jeanne were the popular French forms
and Juana was the favorite in Spain.
Many JeanneS and JuanaS married in
To royal families and gave vogue to
their names A daughter of Edward
III was 50 called, and Joan Beaufort. be
loved Of James l. was another famous
woman OF that name.
It was not until the Tudor period
that Jane came into vogue. but straight
way it was made famous by Jane Sey-
mour and became 4 courtly title. On
the other hand. Jane was accorded such
popular usage that it is said TO have
named jean as an article of dress.
Jenny seems TO have appeared as a
diminutive. or perhaps an endearment,
of Jane. 1t suggests something much
gen,ler and more aluringly feminine
than uncompromising Jane. Jane to-
day summons up vision of we'll
tailored, efficient young person with
feniniStic tendencies. but Jenny repre-
sents the Enthusiastically domestic type.
1t is she who named the spinning-jenny
and Jenny Wren of nursery tales. The
most famous woman TO bear the name
was the golden-voiced Jenny Lind.
James talismanic gem is the tur-
ouoise. If set in gold it promises her
good fortune and long life, with free
dom from dangers and anxieties.
Wednesday is her lucky day and 3 her
lucky number.

AS he grows older he learns that

TROM .the day he left law school 1t
was the ambition of William III.
Taft Ia be chief justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Through the years, Mr.. Taft bent
his energies to the achievement of that
ambition. lie became judge early In
life. and :lade a good record.
lie LEFT the bench for service under
President Roosevelt, believing that
through work for the nation he would
be better ahle to reach his goal.
When he was offered the post of sec
rotary OF war, Mr.. Taft made it known
to Mr.. Roosevelt that he would pre-
fer a place on the Supreme bench.
No place was open at that time and
he accepted the secretaryship with the
understanding that his ambition might
he gratificd later.
Then the exigencies of politics made
him candidate for the presidency, an
honor 10 American of ability is likely
to refuse.
Mr.. TAFT became President, yet his
real ambition had not been achieved.
Now he has been given the post he
so long wanted, and will, most people
believe, fill it with great credit.
OF course few men can single out
particular high post as the object of
life ambition with any hope of attain
Ing it.
= Yet it was because Mr.. Taft wanted
TO be chief justice that he developed
the ability that made him first COVER
nor Of the Philippines, then sort uf
rowing commissioner for Mr.. Roose-
welt. and later secretary of war.
If he had not wanted, with all his
heart, to be chief justice, he would
never have been President. Content
ment with federal judgeship would
have kept him always in Ohio.
The golfer who plays strong
steady game, sometimes achieves the
well-nigh impossible and makes hole
in one. The careless, half-interested
golfer never does.
Honest ambition may not get man
what he wants, but it is sure to make
him ADLER and better qualified for high
nosition. and brings him some impor'
tant reward.

LYRICS OFLIFE
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH
THE LAST CHAPTER

THE hunters joy is in the tale,
More great than in the kill;
The sailor rides the wintry gale
Not for the wintry thrill
But that at nighttime he may sit
Before the fire recOunting it.
For this men climb the steepest mount
And walk the widest plain,
And bring TO firesides an account
OF all the toll and pain
The toll and pain made pleasure when
They tell the tale to other men.
For Memory is healing nurse
Who makes our minds forget
The rocks and rivers that We curse
No, we remember yet,
And yet remember rather glad
Fer every hurt we ever had.
Life's an Adventure, like the trail,
The cruise across the seas;
1t has it's hill, 1t has its gale,
It has its memories;
And we shall sit in quiet age
Made glad by every blotted page.
Yes. Tine shall soften every fall
And leave the story dear.
Life shall lie lovely, after all,
The hurts shall disappear;
without occasional defeat
LIES story had not been complete
