ton discovers many things that
puzzle the physicians. “I bent over
too far in stretching the carpet," she
will say; or “I reached up too high in
cleaning a pantry shelf, and some
thing in me snapped, and I haven't
been well since.” Something is always
snapping like this, according to Mrs.
Applet® ll - leaving the impression that
jjer insides are always snapping like
firecrackers.
Lysander ‘ John Appleton once be
lieved that If he bought enough rock
ers. he wouldn’t have to give up his
when company came, but though he
filled the house, he still hasn’t enough.
He abandoned that ambition and Is
now trying to get so many beds in the
.house that he will not have to sleep
on the parlor lounge when company
comes. This ambition is the only one
Lysander John Appleton has left.
Mrs. Lysander John Appleton talks
a great deal to callers about her ail
ments. It is related that the preacher
called once to ask about her husband's
soul, and all he could find out from
Mrs. Appleton was the condition of
her liver.
It has never dawned upon his moth
er and sister that the reason Chaun
cey Devere Appleton always pulls out
the chair that has a weak leg, and
breaks it down before company, is
that he isn’t allowed in the parlor
often enough to become acquainted
with its short-comings and infirmities.
Though a great deal of money has
been spent on Daysey Mayme’s voice,
she can’t throw it farther than a block
in calling Chauncey Devere home in
ii||
the evenings, while a girl who lives
next door, and who knows nothing
about scales except the kind found on
a fish, can throw her voice six blocks.

IS IT HACKETT?
LJ ACKETT is found in England as
well as In this country and as an
English surname It is undoubtedly
a corruption of Harcourt, a French
town. Thus the first to be called
Hackett in England may have been a
resident of Harcourt, France.
But the founder of the Hackett fam
ily here was not of English or French
origin. He was native of Holland and
came to this country over a hundred
and twenty-five years ago. He mar
ried a daughter of Rev. Abraham
Keteltas, a New York clergyman.
Their son was James Henry Hackett,
bom in New York in 1800. After
graduating from Columbia college he
married Katherine Sugg, an actress,
and for several years led a successful
career as a merchant. Financial re
ferees came, however, and at his wife’s
suggestion he went on the stage.
Botl he and Mrs. Hackett acted suc
cessfully for many years. Their son
"as James Keteltas Hackett, born in
1860, whose middle name was that of
Ms Paternal grandmother.
Button— One very good authority
says that this Is a form of Bouton,
leaning boot. Others say that the
sunmtne Button is derived through
tnls; inundation from Burton or But
terton, places in England.
Bi les—This name, It Is agreed, is
derived from Bouelles, a place in Nor
mandy. One of the early members of
family wrote his name Hugh de
Boeles.
i-'humpness— This name, which has
Ibe variation Champneys, found in
Ibis country and England, is derived

EVA
THE “mother of all living” received
from Adam a name signifying life.
He gave her a name of simple dignity
and beauty —Eve. In the original, it
sounded like Chevva, as it began with
a rough aspirate. It was not copied
by any of her daughters for a long
time and when the first Alexandrian
Jews came upon it in translation,
they made it Zoe, meaning life, in or
der to show the connection of the
name with the prophecy, but after
ward, in the course of the narrative,
they merely called it Heva or Eva,
through which we learned to know it
as Eve.
The Eva of Ireland and Scotland
and the Avellne and Eveline of the
Normans were probably only imita
tions of the old Keltic name Aoiffe.
Eve and Eva have been used a great
deal In England, many of the old par
ish registers recording the christen
ing of twins as Adam and Eve. The
notion of securing a child’s life that
has spread the use of Adam among
the Teutonic races has had the same
effect upon his wife, so that Eva is a
common feminine name in Germany.
All of Scandinavia has adopted Eva
but Russia calls her Evva or Jevva.
France never fancied its simplicity,
nor have Italy or Spain given it much
attention.
Coral, that mogt natural of precious
stones, is Eva’s tallsmanic gem. It
promises her protection from evil and
Immunity from disease, warning of
approaching illness by losing its ruddy
color. Thursday is her lucky day and
2 her lucky number.
Milton in “Paradise Lost” pays trib
ute to the mother of the race through
Adam’s description of Eve:
On she came
Led by her Heavenly Maker, though
unseen,
And guided by his voice; nor unin
formed
Os nuptial sanctity, and marriage
rites; ~ ,
Grace was In all her steps, Heaven In
her eyes.
In every gesture dignity and love.

A NEW YEAR’S RESOLVE
I
THE gifts that life in lavish
generosity
Hath showered down on me
So truly splendid are 'tls difficult
to say
Which one of all the glad array,
I hold the best.
But while I am earth’s guest
I'll joy in all of them, and not
the least
Os the rich feast
Is that rare dower of Time that
each New Year
Lays at my door for me to use
for cheer,
And from its fleeting minutes
seise
The glorious opportunities
With which each hour is laden,
and fulfill
With right good will
The purpose great or small that
Destiny
Reserves for me.

We notice that over in England
a man who owned a confectionary
kitchen advertised that he sold some
“beauty buns,” the same which
would make anyone more beautiful

He was overun with business—
why, we wonder!
Two boys, both rather tall and
good shots—Linder Alford and Pel

the side of the Gibson-Mercer team
last Friday night, and Hartwell was
the victor in a 35-7 battle.
Alford and Ayers, shooting 14 and
18 points, respectively, shot goals
apparently at will, but at times the
passing of the entire members on
the Hartwell team was good.
