l'his is a group of family names
which has been derived from place
names. which, though not the same.
fsre all of the same character.
: The basic clement in these names Is
Ethe ancient Anglo Saxon word for
cottage. or hut. which was "cyte" or
"cete" tthe pronunciation of the Anglo
Saxon &C" was always like *" for, as
a matter Of fact, there was no "k" in
the Anglo-Saxon aIphabet). This was
the usual word denoting 'fhous" or
dwelling" the ancient equivalent Of
the modern word house" being re-
served for buildings of a more pre-
tentious or public nature.
The place name of Chatterton. or
more properly "Chadderton," from
which the family name was descrip-=
tlyely derived, was compounded from
the AnRlo-Saxon "cete-doir- r-dun," and
signified the fortified dwelling in the
wood"
Chatham is the name of a town in
Kent. 1t is compounded of "cyte" OF
"cete" and ham" the latter signify
ing village.
Chatsworth is a compound of "cetes'
and worth" At the period when
family names were formed this word
had come to mean any farmstead. But
the compound of the place name had
occurred long before. when the word
still preserved it's literal meaning of
a ''warded'' or inclosed place. HENCE
the place name meant not farm cot
tage, but cottage in an inclosure
Usually the incloSure was a woodad
place.
Cheatwood was a place name signi-
flying a cottage in the wood and
Chadsey a dwelling near the sea.

Let them be silly. inconsiderate, irri-

their artistic temperaments. But the

Now this. 1 protest, is bad for the
public and worse for the artist. As a
writer and artist myself. I ought to be
fairly well acquainted with the breed.

harder for an artist to keep himself

LaZiness in an artist isn't some sort
OF divine languor. It's a plain dis

experienced by bricklayers, ditch dig

aren't the manifestations OF custom

They're merely manifestations of
cussedness, as they would be in any

The greatest happiness is known.


POLLY CHUCK.
Perhaps you remem Der that Johnny
and Polly Chuck made their new
home on the edge Of the Long Lane.
and that just out in front Of their
doorway was Farmer Browns garden.
When Farmer Brown discovered that
home he told his boy that those
Chucks must be gotten rid OF. You
sec. he was afraid that they would
do great deal of damage in his
garden.
But Farmer Browns Boy couldn't
hear 10 think Of troubling Johnny and
Polly Chuck. and at last he thought
of a way of keeping them out OF mis-
cially fond of beans and squash
plants. So he planted a lot of both
just for them. He planted them right
near the home of Johnny and Polly
Chuck.
When those beans and squashes
came up Johnny and Polly found
them right away. OF course. they
didn't know that they were planted
just for them. but they did know that
never had they had such splendid
food so near their home. They didn't
bother anything else in that garden.
From time to time Farmer Downs
Boy planted more beans and squashes
for them, and not another word did
lie hear from Farmer Brown about
getting rid of those Chucks.
What with such good things to eat
right in front of their doorstep and
plenty of sweet clover and grass just
across the Long Lane. there was no
trouble at all in getting all they
wanted to eat without running much
of any risk And when the five babies
were big enough to come out and
nibble green food the Chucks certain

Base Ball.

1t only takes eighteen men TO play
each other a game of base ball, out
any number can watch them and yell
diffrent advice and insults at them
This proves wy base ball is Sutch
populer game, on account OF 1t being
so easy to stand there and get ixcited
over it without having eny of the re-
sponsibilitty.
Every time one of the players
makes a home run and looks modest
vile he's running erround making IT..
everybody in the audients yells like

that do the leest work OFTEN make
the most noise and vice virtue.
One of the saddest sites that can
be saw is a gang of Gcrls with bloom
ers and things on trying to play base
ball and injoying themselfs. This
proves that wat you think you are
doing Is more important to you than
wat you are aXuilly doing.
Wen regular players play they al
ways have a empire to say weather
it's fair or fowl and diffrent things,
but us fellows play without empire
because we argeW about every point
enyways and if we had empire it
would ony make one more to argeW
with. Kids get more exercize out of
PLAYING than professional players get
on account of wen game Is over
Professional players are ony Exhaust

Exhausted from argewing. This is
because everything depends on the
empire in Professional base ball, vile
in kid base ball everything depends
on wich side can argeW the longest,
loudest and fearsest.
