between. or the Eastlands, with hedges

some landmark of this kind has dis

In Hertfordshire and Sussex this
same thing is happening and the old
sturdy roots are being dug up and
burned, and replaced by miles upon
miles Of wire fences. to keep the sheep
within bounds. Young college-bred
farmers, filed with enthusiasm, facts
and labor-savlng ideas, have 1t all
worked out, and much Of the beauty

origin Of the Word GOD"

The word "cop" originated In Lon
don, being derived from the three
initials of constable Of police" Thi,
interesting bit of information comes
from Police Commissioner Enright OF
New York City.
Chief Enright's theory of how the
word 'cop" came into being has expe-
rience, precedent and probability to
back it. 1t has experience, because
Commissioner Enright is conversant
with police affairs. 1t has precedent,
because when the words of a phrase
happen to have lnitiQ)s which, taken
together, can he pronounced in one
syllable. there is a tendency to lump
them In one. and so form a new word.
1t has probability because the ETY.
mology suggested Is simple and nat
ural. Cop is an abbreviation which
any Engish-speaking public would like
to make Of constable Of police"
Nobody knows all about a word until
he has looked up It's origin. To do
that Is one of the best Of helps toward
fixing the meaning OF words much
longer and far less familiar than 'cop"
lastlngly in the mind.-Bufralo Times.

Always in Tune

President Harding is trying to keep
in close touch with the people De
mands made upon the time OF the
chief executive of the United States
are tremendous. Particularly in recent
years barriers have beet bt'iSt up
around the president. Unless the mis-
sion was urgent or important, there
has been little opportunity to see the
president. But Harding has thrown
down the bars again. He spends hours
shaking hands with curiosity seekers.
More than that newspaper men have
Aound him accessible and easy to talk
Or President Harding does not
,!sant to have ever any charge OF aut-
&ocaracy raised against him. He is
kindly sympathetic. One OF the things
we like to remember OF Abraham Lin
coin is the attentive ear and kindly
heart that greeted private citizens OF
a war and trouble torn nation. To-
day demands of an important nature
make it impossible for a president to
&ive so much of his time to such
7rs. The world is too full of those
ave nc business at the White
kse but who go there for the thrill
of seeing the president.
But Harding hasn't got far away at
any time from the public pulse. He
is interested in every part OF the nation
As a Washington correspondent illum-
natingly remarks;
If Mrs. Harding's health will
permit and the wailing European
nations can spare him the time, and
the political affairs in Washington
will not suffer in consequence,
then President Harding will go
to Alaska next sumner The Presid-
ent says he hopes that by making
a personal investigation OF condi-
tons that he may be OF help to
that suffering region.
Somcway we can't conceive OF
Woodrow Wilson ever doing anw-
thing of that kind But the way to
know the nation and its problems is
TO see them first hand. And that Is
what President Harding, respite the
trsrendous pressure of other and cv-
a more necessary duties, is trying
TO do.

story Of Giglio and BuIbo, and it

The tragedy of Thackeray's
marriage to woman whom he
loved deeply, but who was des-

in lunatic asylum, ls one Of the

she left at home two little girls
whom the novelist loved passion

Whilst they were still very
young their famous father took
them to Italy to see Robert
Browning and his equally. famous
wife. They had one SON, a boy
of six. known as Pen" for whom
the story Of Giglio and Bulbo was
started. AS the big man with the
shining spectacles told the story
he drew pictures to illustrate It.
and before the story had gone far

colony had gathered round the
story teller.
One of them, a little girl, fell

that's how this little masterpiece

amusing account Of a day when

riss to hear him read a play to,

after ten minutes Miss Millward
saw, to her horror, that Terriss
was asleep. She wondered how
to wake him up, but Shaw did
this himself by suddenly stopping
his reading. The silence was 80
loud that Terriss awolze.
Terriss, not knowing how long
he had been asleep. did his best
to suggest that he had not been
asleep at all.

The play was 1.-THE Devils
