J. w. Cross, who married "George
Eliot" MARY Ann Evans), the novel
list, spent several years of his life as
banker in Wall street and then re-
turned to his native country. Soon
after, he was invited by friend for
some grouse shooting, and Cross,
whose shooting had got rather rusty
during his stay in New York, deemed
II advisable to get some coaching
from his friends head gamekeeper
After a few days the host remarked
to the keeper:
slows Mr.. Gross getting on, JoeT
swell, sir" replied Joe, hes miss
ing them better than he dbl"
Some years later, Cross told this
story to King Edward, whose services
Joe had entered, and the king re-
marked, laughingly.
81 shall never get rid of Joe that's
one of the most tactful things that
has ever been said"

Sealing Wax Is Used
Extensively in the Arts

Sealing wax Is perhaps less lmpor-

velopes came into use, but never was
sailing wax so versatile as now, nor
so useful artistlcally. Many delicate

enamel ware or carved and painted

and beads and artificial flowers,
plaques and vases and candlestlcks
are among the objects beholden for
their beauty to this material. Mold.

Visiting

It's always gamble to take chill

found out to her sorrow. Sometimes
they behave according to Heyle, and
then sometimes they do or say very

calling and were served tea. This
didn't bother mother, because she
had frequently had her little daughter

was limited to the cakes. On this Oc.

One OF the strangest traits of their

Cotton Mdther GdUe
Name to Yale College

Cotton Mather would willingly have
become president OF his alma mater,
Harvard, succeeding his father. but
though there were opportunities, he
never was elected, writes William II.
Barton In the Dearborn Independent
He became dissatisfied with Harvard,
and on January 2 l7l7, he wrote In
his diary:
"What shall l do for the welfare
Of the college at New Haven't am
inclined to write unto wealthy East
India merchantmen ut London, who
may be disposed on several accounts.
to do for that society and colony"
Accordingly he wrote to Elihu Yale,
u rich and chlldless man, saying:
IF what is forming at New Haven
might bear the name of Yale college,
II would be better than a name Of
sons and daughters. And your mu-
nincence might easily obtain for you
such commemoratlon."
The money came, and the name was
given to the college by Mather and
1t remains.

II is said that Sir Henry Wyatt,
who was prlvy councillor under

to eat nor fire to keep him warm, a

LegGl Profession Has ~
Its Patron Saint, Too

The journalists have their patron
saint. lie Is st. Paul But the
lawyers have one, too. He Is st.
Yves, who earned the fitting title
of "The Advocate of the Poor" Al
his festival the refrain is said to be
sung, Advocates sed non latro, res
miranda pcpulo" can advocate, but
not thief, thing well nigh beyond
bellefO.
In pictorial art the saint is com
monty represented accompanied by a
cat, symbolical, according to an I'M
kind suggestion, of the characteristics
Of the profession. There is legend
that when he presented himself at the
gates of Paradise, st. Yves was asked
by St. Peter, who are your" st. Yves
replied, "An advocate Come In"
said st. Peter, "for we have not yet

His right to be in paradise having
been subsequently disputed and his
removal urged, II can not resist"
said st, Yves, "but 1t must be done
regularly; my expulsion must be notl.
fed to me by sherlff's officer" No
such functionary could be found In
paradise and so st. Yves remained
