A Family of "a

Some persons have queer, not to
say a perverse, humor in names, and
when they happen to be parents they
often lnhict on their offspring names
that are lifelong embarrassment. A
writer in the Boston Herald recalls the
case Of man named Zurlel Cook,
who, having been cursed with an out
lnndlsh name, determined that all his
children should suffer with him.
Zuriel Cook married Polly Lombard
at Henderson, N. Y, early in the Nine
teenth century. His large family Of
children were named as follows: Zu
rlel, Teresa, Zerema, Zelnus, Zephro
MIA, Zerodia, Zedna, Zegotus, Zelora
Zethanlel, Zeruth, Zelobus, Zedella and
last Of all james.
1t liz fair to presume that James
was a posthumous child II Mr.. Cook
had lived the boy would probably have
been named Zephaniah or Zerubbabel.

Letters and other documents dealing
with manners and customs of daily
life I'm the Seventeenth century In
England which recently came to light
tend to show that 1t was customary in
those days for persons Of quality"
to have sets Of their own, spoons,
knives and forks which they took
with them when invited out. These
papers are Interesting just at this
time especially TO antique collections
for recently a two-tined fork made In
1882 was added to the British mu-
scum.
The extreme simplicity OF the de-
sign suggests that It was an expert
mental implement. Which is not sur
prlslng considering the date, for Eng
fish writers Of the early years Of the
Seventeenth century describe with
much curiosity the fashion Of using
fork to eat with AZ fashion newly
introduced from Italy.

ERIE ROAD HEAD RETIRE ON 3IS7 Underwood Began Career as
 Railroad Clerk

New York. Dec. IS PHFrederick
 B. Underwood, who began his rail road career as clerk, will retire
 from the presidency of the Erie rail- road on December 31 after holding
 that office for 26 years the New
 York Times says today.
 His successor is given as John J.
 Bernet, president of the Nickel Plate railroad and chief operating official for the Van Sweringen brothers.
 From clerk and brakeman, MT. Underwood worked his way up to a
 supcrintendency on the Chicago, Milwaukee x St. Paul. Later he be- came general superintendent of the Minneapolis ta Pacific and still later
 general manager of the 500 lines.
 He came east in 1899 as general manager and second vice-prcsident of the Baltimore 6 Ohio and in 1901 was made head of the Erie.
 Mir. Underwood, th' TimJ' under stands, will remain as chairman of the executive committee of the Erie, g position he has occupied since 1920.
 Mir. Bernet began as a black smith and later was q telegraph operator, a train dispatcher, train | master and an assistant superintend- cnt. He continued his advance un- til 1916 when the Van SweriuScn Brothers took him to run their Nickel Plate road, which he is credited with making into a sue
 cessful line after it's purchase from the New York Central.
 Placing Mir, Bernet at the head of the Erie is regarded by the Times as having an important bearing on the railroad merger 1lans Of the Van Sweringen brothers. The task facing Mir. Bernet, the newspaper say1, is making the Erie a paying
 r;ilroad, which it reports it has
 hitherto failed to be due to q top heavy financial structure.
 The Times also recalls the recent
 purchase of large block of Erie
 shares by the Stock Exchange firm Of Paine Webber & Co, who pre- viously represented the Van Swer- ingcns in their stock market deals. TN'H. it says, is regarded in fnan-
 c'"' o''0'as az the result of an ulti-
 matum handed down by the Van
 ..I brothers bankers that fly lau5t include the Erie in their merger plans.

DAMROSCH RESIGNS
 FROM SYMPHONY
Noted Conductor RetiTeS at Peak
 Of Career

New York, Dec. Is R-Walter Damrosch, who became conductor of the New York Symphony orches- tra 42 years ago at the age of 23, has resigned at the peak of his popularity rather than wait until music lovers begin to whisper he no longer is the Damrosch of old.
 The directors in accepting his resignation declared 1t marked "the end of musical era
 Mr. Damrosch took over leader ship of the orchestra upon the death of his father. Dr. Leopold Dam rosch, who founded the orchestra in 1878. His resignation will become effective at the close of the present season, when at the request of the directors, he will become honorary and guest conductor. He also will continue to direct concerts for chill dren and young people.
 Reason For Retiring.
 Two men cannot drive the same team of horses or conduct the same orchestra" said MT. Damrosch. Therefore, when l decided l could no longer direct four concerts a week, or . hundred each season It seemed right to let another man have the whip hand"
 Tn looking back I seem always oin the Wagner music dramas then with the concerts for young people and children, and now today with some thing entirely new, the radio.
 We have played concert each week for six weeks past to an audi ence estimated to number 100000 persons. One can hardly conceive 1t. They listen in from Alberta and Hudson Bay down to Louisiana and Florida,
 Up in North Dakota man wrote 10 me: My wife and l are seated by the fire in our wooden shack, with a winter gale bowling outside, while we listen to your playing of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, and we're hearing it perfectly.
 Radio Plans
 'If I continue broadcasting our orchestra for two or three years only, shall reach more people with the message of great music than l have played to and talked to in my entire 42 years as opera and orches- tra conductor
 The directors, in a resolution Of regret, said.
 Due In no small part to his high artistic ideals, the standards of or chestral technique have steadily ad- vanced until now American orches- tras including that of the symphony society, hold the foremost positions in the entire musical world
 MT. Damrosch some years ago at the invitation of the French govern- ment, took the orchestra on a tour Of Europe during which he was decorated as officer of the French Legion of Honor. Chevalier of the Crown of Belgium and officer of the Crown of Italy. He received the gold medal of the Banda Municipale of Rome and the silver medal of the Worshipful Company Of Musicians of London.
 The directors took no action on the selection of a successor to MT. DamroSch.

cutting from a weeping willow tree
planted by Cuyler Reynolds. on his
estate at Alton. n. Y, in 1900. which
