that colleges founded upon Christian

The person who falls back on the

is. the much maligned weather offers
a number of angles from which 1t
may be discussed.
One who is keen about food and

| whether or not the weather should

| is neither yes nor no. Which is the

The negro passed the American
pickets. but he chanced to reach a
sector OF the enemy which was occu-
pied by a Hessian regiment. Hessia MS
speak German, not English. and the
negro did not speak German. His
frantic endeavors to make himself
understood led TO his arrest as a
suspicious person, and he was cast
into a IIessian guard house and kept
there until morning. by which time
the last American was safely in New
York. The first English officer to
examine the negro quickly appreciated
the importance of his message and
an alarm was Immediately given, but
it was too late.
The American Army being now in
New York, the next question is, can
it hold New York against the enemy
army and navy? Officers and men
worked INCREASINGLY for four months
to fortify Long Island because If the
British could gain possession Of the
heights above the East River they
could do what they pleased with New
York. We still hold those heights
but their ships command the East

HOW 1T STARTED
That Word Naughty
BY JEAN NEWTON.

1t is a far cry from our modern
word naughty" TO having nothing,
but that is how it started. For
naughty was originally merely the
adjective formed Of ''naught" and
meant having nothing (destitute) or
good for nothing. 1t is in the latter
sense that it became synonymous
with bad" In King Lear" we find
This is a naughty night TO swim :;
and the records of our Plymouth
Colony. 1861, tell Of small and
naughty canoes" In the old English
work, Piers Plowman," we find
MEN that needy be and naughty
help them with thy goods
In its early application to ethics
and morals. naughty" meant wick
ed, and it was through its frequent
application to the trivial offenses of
children that it acquired its modern
significance of lightness. SO that now
when 1t is used with reference to an
adult it is understood to be in a
sportive. joking sense.
Strange are the ways of words if
