GWENDOLEN

n WENDOLEN, which has long been
~ the victim Of satire and the sup
posed product of affectation in this
country, has really the noble and most
dignified of origins. 1t is one of the
a%ppellatives of the round table, and is
indissoIubly associated with all that is
finest In romantic history. The name
comes from the Welsh, and means
'-'fair-browed." All the G%wendolens of
history have been radiantly beautiful.
The first famous Gwendolen, accord
ing to the "Brut and GeOffery' Of Mon
mouth, was the daughter of COrineus,
duke of Cornwall, and wife of LOcrine,
son of the original Brutus. He de-
serted her for the sake Of a fair Ger
man captive and she made war upon
him, in the course of which he was
killed, and Estrild and her daughter,
Sabrlna or Avern, made prisoners
%whereupon the vengeful queen caused
both to be drowned in the river which
was afterward known as the Severn.
There is a Welsh saint named st.
Gwendolen, who was the famous
Gwen" mother of Caradog Vreich-
fras, the excellent Sir Cradocke of
King Arthur's round table. There was
also Gwendolen, the beauty of Ar
thurs court, and it was she who is
said to have possessed the golden
chess board upon which silver men
played of their own accord, In Wales
tho 6~anpb+op of tbo loct native Dripaa
was so called, and for that reason, her
name viii always continue in popular
ity there.
Onyx is Gwendolen's talismanic
stone. It is said to protect her from
evil and disease, and to cool anger if
worn about the neck. Thursday is her
lucky day and 5 her lucky number.

National Hero Just
Small Boy to Mother

A Dutch salvage firm is securing the
bottom of the Caribbean sea looking
for a part of the treasure that went
to the bottom in the Seventeenth cen
fury when Piet Helm, admiral of the
Dutch fleet captured eight Spanish
galleons loaded with silver and sank
five others.
When Piet Helm captured the Span
ish silver fleet" the power of the
Dutch republic had already started on
its decline, Pierre Van Paassen tells
us, in the Atlanta Constitution. The
news of the admiral's victory there
fore sent the country into ~frenzies of
enthusiasm. When he arrived at Rot
terdam, members of the government
were on hand to greet him and the
~aristocracy of Amsterdam and Haar-
lem in lace and cloth cheered itself
hOarse at the sight of the popular
young admiral. All Holland was In
gala. But when the admiral APP
preached the little cottage in Delfts-
haven where his mother lived and he
raped on the door there was a voice
as that you, Piet?" Eyes, mother"

It's Origin Uncertain

The phrase Lynch law has been
v%ariously traced to a Virginia soldier
and to a Virginia farmer of that name,
to Lynch, who was sent out from
England about 1857 to suppress piracy,
and to a mayor of Galway, in Ireland
While yet another tradition refers it
to Lynch creek, in North Carolina,
where the forms of a court-martial
and execution were gone through over
the lifeless body of a Tory, who had
already been precipitately hanged to
prevent a rescue.-Chamber's Ency-

Proving That Hasty
Criticism Is UnwiSe

In MY Book of Memory YOUTH
Companion tells us, Mr.. Silas Hooking
the English novelist, repeats an anus
ing story concerning DR.. w. B. Pope,
once a famous Wesleyan professor OF
theology, and of his son Sam.
The son was preparing for the bar.
Occasionally he tried his prentice
hand at preaching the gospel in vii
lage ehapels. One Sunday morning
his father said to him sam, I'm not
feeling at all well today. You will
have to preach for me this morning"
Sam demurred. The father insisted
and suggested that he had two hours
to make a sermon, and if he could
not do it in that time he was not
fit to be a barrister.
Sam went away to the study. Then
he went off to chapel. Unknown to
him, his father followed and found
a seat hidden behind the pulpit. He
heard the sermon and her FASTENED
home again.
"Well, SAM" said he on his sons
return, I've heard you preach, and
a poor thing you made of it. l thought
you could have done better than that"
you think the sermon was not very
good?" the 0 inquired.
"Good?" the old man replied. Il
think it was one of the worst sermons
l have listened to-"
well, father" said Sam, 81 thought
it was a poor thing myself, but I
turned over a big pile in your study,
and it was the best I could find"

Cutting the "Gordian Knot''

This expression has its origin il the
tale of Gordius, a Phrygian peasant,
owner of a yoke of oxen, who became
king. He dedicated his car and oxen
to Zeus, and the knot of the yoke was
tied so skillfully that an oracle de-
clared that whomsoever should I'M
loose it would be ruler of Asia. When
Alexander the Great came to Gordium
he cut the knot in two with his sword
and applied the prophecy to himself.
