The word hobo" meaning a shift

tramp las distinguished from "yegg)
originated in the United States. THE
tramp's name for himself and his fell

Flynt in the Contemporary Review
for August, 1891. "Yegg" or "yegg-
man" is a tramp who makes bust

John Yegg and finally the word yegg-

French circles were inclined to
believe the message from the Pres

that disarmament concessions on
the part of France might soften
feelings in the United States re-
garding the defaulted debt.
France, however. was more in
terested at the moment in the
prospect of common front with
Great Britain against Germany's
demand for arms equality.
PreSi dent Roosevelt's we'll

HURRY

1T is not for nothing that hurry and
worry are always tied In the same
breath. Hurry Is first cousin to worry.
One brings the other. The person who
is always In hurry is not well bal
anced intelligence. He has allowed
one thing to get ahead of another, in
stead of trying to keep all OF them In
their places. he has done either too
much or too little and done 1t too
early or too late. Hurry won't cure
that
There is difference between speed
and hurry. Speed is controlled
swiftness that is accurate and timed
TO the dot Hurry is f1uttering haste
that may or may not arrive. Speed
implies thought and accuracy. Hurry
implies neglect and panic.
When children have to hurry to get
out to school In the morning they are
In poor shape to begin the day. | need
not tell you about the half-eaten
breakfast. the clothes tossed on any
way. the forgotten things, the irrita-
fions and the setbacks OF the morning
hurry. 1t all leaves the child breath
less and In state OF mental confusion,
The morning start must begin the
night before. Things must be laid
ready for the morning. Send the chill
dren out In calm rather than In the
hurry of storm and the whole day will
30 better for everybody.
Children are likely to put off things
that they ought to do until the last
moment Then they hurry. That kills
all benefit the work might have con-
ferred upon them.

shouts, "Gee whiz. forgot Our
monthly theme has to be In tomorrow.

Hurry Is born of poor organization.
When one plans and follows the plan
there is no need for hurry save In the
emergencies.
The children can be trained to avoid
the appearance OF hurry. They can

Pen Still Used
by Dan Cupid"
No Falling OFF in Writing
of Love Letters

An exhibition of love letters writ
ten by famous people, mostly men.
has been attracting attention In New
York. The idea of deciphering with
ones own eyes what Lord Nelson
wrote to his dearest Emma" or of
examining what the ancient Benia-
min Franklin told some French wom-
an stirs the Imagination. Even the
best brought-up are conscious of the
need of self-restraint when the hand
writing of others Is set before them.
with the intmation that ut Is
wonder the paper did not take fire."
But, sad to say, most of the interest
OF third parties In these showcase
epistles seems to be rather anti
quarian. The letters throw rays of
light upon various individuals, but
fall decidedly in making the heart
beat faster.
Perhaps the best love letters In
history were written and never sent.
They were not exactly letters either.
but poetry, the work of Elizabeth
Barrett, who was the wife of Robert
Browning. She disguised them by
giving them the title of "Sonnets
From the Portuguese and Mr.
Browning never saw them until long
after they were married. However,
they may be commended. to one of
either sex who Is moved to the ex-
preston of the tender passion ON
paper.
Complaint is frequent that the art
of letter writing is declining. It Is
quite true that modern means of
communication have made 1t rather
unnecessary to bite one end OF pen
and scribble with the other. The
dates on the epistles which should
be found In any proper attic are
rather ancient. Telephone and auto
mobile accomplish much of what was
undertaken by pen and Ink few
years back. Yet. as other forms of
letter writing decline, the love letter
Increases. 1t has prevailed among
the young wherever there has been
separation.
Throughout the greater part of hui
man history young men seldom wrote
to young women, therefore the young
women had few chances to reply.
Older folk took charge OF the mar
riage question. Such matters, were
arranged and, when the alliance had
been approved. the young people
were expected to 20 through with 1t
dutifully. Only a brief and formal
7courtship was possible before the
wedding. There had been no time
for letter-writing, which was perhaps
just as well, as the young woman
probably could not write and the
young man was not much better edu-
Gated.
1t was the exceptions who gave
the foundation for romance. A youth,
whose schooling had not been EN-
tirely neglected, might catch a
glimpse of a maiden and decide that
she was the only one In the world.
II her father dlsapproved OF their
meeting there was an inducement
for an interchange OF brief notes
with the help OF accommodating go
betweens. Such letters as there were
could hardly have been called
lengthy There was so little to say
except II love you" -"Uncle Dud-
ley" In the Boston Globe.

Mr.. Van Derwerken died in 1894 at the age
Of - years. and . biographical sketch OF him,
printed at the time, said:
~I1is ancestors were among the earliest Dutch
settlers Of Saratoga County, N. Y, where. at
Waterford. N. Y. on February S. 1910. he was
born. In his childhood days Indians were nu-

In some financial trouble, and he proposed
to Mr. Adams that the latter go into the
