How family names change in the course of many years is illustrated by the conversion of "Botevile" into "Thynne." An English deed bearing date in the closing days of the fif teenth century shows three brothers then flourishing-—John Botevile of Botevile and Thomas and William Botevile. The trio are distinguished from all other Boteviles by the ex planation "of the Inne," or family res idence, the "'tie to which had come to their joint possession. John's grand son was known as Ralph Botevile-of the-Inne, from which the transition to Ralph Thynne Is easy. His descend ants have been Thynnes ever since. Tipping It Off. "My boy, never tell another that you know more than he does." "Why not, pa?" "Because with that warning he may do a little studying nights and over take you."—Detroit Free Press. Our Daily Special. A poor liar makes n poor diplomat. Luke McLuke Says: Any old mutt can steal kisses from a girl. But it takes nerve to steal candy from a baby. If a man would devote as much ener gy to hard work as he does to cussiug his luck he wouldn't have anything to cuss about. It doesn't do a married man any good to know it all. He never gets a chance to tell it. The photograph that a gh'l's own mother wouldn't be able to recognize Is always the one that a girl thinks looks most like her. Some people seem to imagine that a man who confesses that he likes the ef forts of Honus Wagner better than those of Wagner, the composer, is a low brow. Father's idea of disciplining the chil dren is to bawl mother out every time one of the kids does anything wrong. One reason why the woman who kiss es and nurses her Fido wouldn't like to have a baby around the house is be cause Fido might catch something from the baby. When a man remembers that there are nearly 2,000,000,000 people in the world he wonders why trouble happens to pick him out and make him the goat. Any fat head can make hay while the sun is shining. But the fellow who ran make hay when there isn't any |un always gets the kale. We are all inclined to be very care ful when it is too late. A jolly will get more out of a woman than will a threat or a club. If some of the June brides had to do it all over again they would select April 1 as a more appropriate wedding date than June 1. Another difference between genius and talent is that talent gets a hair cut once a month. A man goes to school and to college and thinks he has completed his edu cation. Then he gets married and finds that he has only begun his educa ' tion. The man who is killing time is also assassinating his opportunities. If a man has four or five needy heirs it is a cinch that he is going to live to be at least a hnndred years old.

Leydic, Sole Agent North Sixth Street, opp. Court House The River Tigris. The river Tigris appears in the book of Genesis as Hiddekel, one of the four "heads" into which the river of Eden was parted. The name by which we know it does not exactly "mean" tiger, for the correct way of putting it is that both "tiger" and "Tigris" mean in Persian swift as an arrow, "Euphrates" is a Greek version of the Persian Hu frat, which signifies "the good abound ing" and represents the old Asiatic Bu rat or Purat, akin to our verb "pour."

"Great Scott, man, do you for one moment suppose I'd be fool enough to give you $15?" "No. chief.

A devoted father after a day's ab sence was met by his two little sons. "Ilave you been good boys?" Silence. "Have you been good boys?" "No, papa. I called grandma a bad word," said the five-year-old, turning scarlet. "Is it possible? What did you call your grandma?" "I called her a human being." The father, with a mighty effort, maintained his gravity and closed the scene decorously. "I must forgive you for once, but remember if you ever call your grandmother a human being again I shall have to spank you."— London Telegraph. Repartee. "But why are you In mourning?" "Oh. for my sins." "I didn't know you'd lost any!" The Simple Life.

Among the famous lost mines of the western world and one which is again being sought is the T1 sin gall of Costa Rica. It is said to have yielded great quantities of gold in the time of the Spanish domination. After quelling the Indian uprisings, however, the Spaniards failed to relocate the mine. It is thought that it lies hidden in the bed of one of the larger streams. Many legends are heard dealing with Its wonderful richness, and many at tempts have been made to find it, but •o far without avail.—Argonaut .
