Term-End Exams.

Children. the school term is draw
ing to a close. The teacher is urging
you to prepare for the last examina-
ton. You have been in school for
the past nine months and it has be-
gun to pail upon you. Lessons have
become an old story.
The teachers manner and charac-
teristic speech have become familiar
to you. You think you know just
what she will say when you blot your
composition on the very last line and
you know just who will miss on the list
Of Presidents and what she will do
about it. School is an old story.
II is, but il is a true story. II
tells of your efforts to. grow. There's
a chapter of beginnings. You began
to study French but when you
reached the declensions you couldn't
force yourself to sit down and study
them over and over until they came
as easily as the letters Of the alpha
bet.
The teacher told you that 1t was
the only way. but you hated that way
and dropped French.
Then there was mathematics. You
worked along very well until you
reached quadratics. They were hard
One little mistake, one exponent
wrong, once sign wrong and the whole
things was useless. Besides you de-
tested formulas.
The teacher told you that the only
way to get the best of algebra was

LINCOLN
RACIAL ORIGiN-EneIish.
SOURCE-A locality,

SOURcE-A locality.
The origin of the family name OF
Lincoln is simple. 1t comes from
the town of the same name in Eng.
land.
Like all surnames of the same
classification. 1t was originally de-
scriptive of the bearers place of resi-
dence. or rather his former place OF
residence. In that period of the mid.
die ages when populations began to
increase rapidly the supply OF given
names was overtaxed. The first re.
suit OF this was the tendency among
parents to give their offspring new
variations of given names. made w
often by the addition of diminutives
added to the name or a single sylla-
bic of the name. Even this, however
was not enough when communication
between various communities be.
came more common and men moved
more from place to place. 1t be-
came quite usual to speak of this
that or the other Roger or John OIL
Ivo by reference to the place from
which he had come. Thus the name
of Lincoln was originally preceded
by de-" indicating "of Lincoln" oi
from Lincoln"
The place name itself Is a relic OF
preSaxon days. being a compound oi
lin" and "coln," signifying in the
ancient British tongue a lake on q
hill. The Welsh is 'llyn," the Cor
nish "lyn" and the Gaelic 'linne."

from the effect of those stings. she
began to want her own way again.
She began to get back into her old
habits and doing about as she pleased
She was forever dropping behind, so
that Mother Bear often had to stop
and wait for her. But, because she
was the spoiled darling of the fam
ily. Mother Bear never punished her.
One day Mother Bear took them
over TO the Laughing Crook fishing.
Now hshing is, as everybody knows.
largely matter of patience. Mother
Bear had discovered that a certain
kind of fish were working their way
up the Laughing Brook. and that in
certain places where the water was
very shallow one who was quick
enough might scoop some of them
out onto the bank.
When she reached one OF these
places Mother Bear told the triplets
to keep still and watch Presently a
fish started out Of the deeper water
and struggled up through the sW fifty
moving shallow water. Mother Rear
pointed II out to the cubs.
Now you go back there on the
bank a little way and watch me. I'll
show you how to catch fish. But you
must keep STILL You must keep per-

So the three little Bears went back
on the bank and SAT- down to watch

BEDTIME STORIES
By Thornton
W. Burgess.

Mother Bear chose place at the
very edge of the water where she
could watch and see a fish when 1t
first left the deeper water TO begin
its struggle UP through the shallow
| water. There she waited motionless
and watched.
The three little Bears watched
eagerly. The minutes slipped away.
Nothing happened. No fish appeared.
| The cubs began to grow tired of do
ing nothing. They grew impatient.
Littlest Bear became the most impa
| tient of the three. She began TO
wriggle. She no longer watched
Mother Bear Presently she got up
and began to walk about Brother
and Sister remained right where they
were. as Mother Bear had told them
TO. Littlest Bear wandered off a short
distance.
Presently she wandered little
nearer to the Laughing Brook below
where Mother Bear was keeping her
motionless watch. Littlest Bears
| quick ears caught the sound of a tiny
splash. She took two or three steps
nearer the water and waited. There
was another little spash. She caught
sight of fish just starting up
I through that shallow water
There's one. There's one" cried
, littlest Bear excitedly. And. rushing
to the edge of the water. she began
to dance about in great excitement.
That fish turned and. darted back
into the deep water. Mother Bear
| turned her head and growled a sharp
warning to Littlest Bear Littlest
+ Pear hung her head and went back
to join Brother and Sister Then
came another long wait. Littlest
Bear grew restless again. Presently
the same thing happened again Lit
tlest Bear frightened the fish that
would have gone up within reach OF
Mother Bear. This time Mother Bears
growl had an ugly sound. Her pa
thence was being sorely tried.

will be fewer and fewer blossoms TO

Worst of all. many of our most
exquisite wild flowers and shrubs are
already nearly extinct because of this

She stopped to pick up the rattle
which he had dropped over the side
