WHAT'S IN A NAME?
By JENNIE LITTLE.
(, 1920, by McCldrf Newnpntier Syndicate.)
I roinombcr just how the ruin drip
ped, dripped, monotonously down that
day, In nil aggravating manner which
seemed to threaten: "I Khnll keep it up
till your nerves nre on edge, or your
spirits down in zero," and I felt, thnt
It didn't need to persevere much long
er. .Summer vacation had begun, hut
what was the use of being released
from drilling tiresome children and
correcting examination papers, If there
was nothing better In sight?
"No, I may as well confess and get
It over. Up to that time not n scrap
of excitement, adventure or romance
had over come Into my life, and It
wns my thirty-fifth birthday I Hut
what could you expect from a plain,
prosy creature, handicapped from the
very start with the name of Amelia
Hump? I suppose the Hump was In
evitable, seeing that I had no choice
In the matter of ancestors, but surely
If my dear parents' bump of wisdom
had been ever so slightly developed
they would huve offset It with a lovely
front name like Evelyn, Sylvia or Dor
Is. Even Caroline might have been
transformed Into Curolyn. and Mary
Jane Into Marie Jean, or May Juliette,
but not a letter In the alphabet could
ameliorate the misery of being chris
tened Amelia. No youiig man could
bo expected to choose as his partner
at ,tho merrymakings a girl who had
neither, money, beauty or brilliance to
take the sting from that hardly sup
pressed smile when ho Introduced "My
friend, Miss nump." "Why, eveu my
scholars made puns about It,
And so when the old folks died and
left mo little besides the old home,
with not a near relative In the world,
it Just icemed natural that I should
settle down for keeps, In the role of
old ni'ald country school teacher. Nat
urally It happened that sometimes
that starved youth In me clamored for
recognition, nnd raised riots, as to
day. It wns the nnnual county fair, and I
had, watched them all go by In their
shining buggies and autos sweet
hearts, young married couples, and
families, till It seemed that poor
Amelia Hump was the only solitary per
son In the village It bad been a per
fect morning, and now I felt a touch
of savngo satisfaction that the rain
would spoil their pleasure, until I re
membered that n blizzard may seem
n May day If only you are with some
ono you love. Oh I I was In tune with
tho weather, all right.
And then my ears caught the roaring
hum of nn nlrplune, nearer, nearer,
unbelievably near! I raced to the door
In time to see something like a giant
wounded bird swooping down on the
big meadow below the house. Crash 1
Then my curiosity carried me on Hy
ing feet to the spot, where a figure re
sembling an armored knight In goggles
picked himself up with Si dazed look,
and bent over another prostrate form.
After a hasty examination he turned
to me, as I stared, open-mouthed.
"Tough luck! Came through the
war without a smash, and now a brok
en leg, and iierhups worse, for this lit
tle testing trip. Accident, to englno,
and we couldn't make a right landing,
Where's a doctor?"
Relieve me, I had little time to
wnste sympathizing with myself the
rest of the dn.v. He was badly hurt,
nnd the doctor and nurse settled him
In my little sunny guest room, so loug
without a guest.
Tho holidays Hew on wings, T nnd
nn Interest In life, and the neighbors
renlly seemed to Include nie In their
Interest In him. Hut the blow bad to
fall. The day that he was ahlo to be
helped out on tho piazza, he turned a
serious face to me.
"Here I am, nearly well enough to
leave, and have never asked your
nnme, yet It seems that I must have
known It always, we huve grown to he
such friends."
"Oh, no," I gulped, "you jouldnt
guess It In n lifetime. It's rrnmpt"
and I fairly glared at him as I braced
myself to meet that amused smile,
nut It seemed to make absolutely no
Impression on him, for he went on
"And your first name?"
Try, all you Itosalles and Marjories,
to share my feelings as I blurted out,
"Oh, It matches tho other Just Anielln,
nnd how I hate It I"
Ho gave mo such a queer look of
surprise. "Unto Amelia?" ho repeated,
as If not sure of hearing me aright.
"I love it best of all the names In the
English language, for It was my moth
er's. Since she died, 1'vo been the
loneliest fellow alive." Lonely 1 And
ho a handsome hero. There were two
of us then, It soemed.
Well, all this happened weeks ago,
and today as I write, across the table
sits my nvlntor, the man of the house.
I refuse to recognize a grammar rule
or algebra sign when I meet them,
for unloved and unwnnted Amelia
Hump lias made her exit forever, nnd
Mrs. Lieut. Victor Fairfax has come
Into her own. Isn't ft a glorious name?
Tho rain Is dripping monotonously, but
"it's raining daffodils," and all the
beauties, and magic, and Joy, In this
big wonderful thing called life.
Woman's Tolerance,
A neighbor woman's Idea of toler
ance Is to suy with a curious empha
sis which leaves the Impression that
she is open to conviction on the sub
ject: "Oh, well, I don't Buppose the

PROUD OF THEIR HIGHWAY
Edinburgh Citizens, Not Without Rea.
son, Claim Princes Street Is
Superior to Any.
When Edinburgh began to outgrow
Its streets nnd run over Into the coun
trywide the citizens took the matter
In hand and decided to enlarge their
city. They stnrtetl with a drab little
street which they built over from the
ground up and called It Princes street.
From the day Its first stone wn,s Inld
the Scots of Edinburgh determined
thnt Princes street should be the most
beautiful street imaginable.
Today Princes street Is, to the
Scot, the moft beautiful street In he
world. The stranger from another land
struggles to remain true to home at
tractions and compromises by pro
nouncing Princes street one of the
most beautiful streets In the world.
On one side of the Scottish main
street are rnnged tho best hotels,
shop;', and clubs In Edinburgh. On
the other are terraces and monuments
with a frame of trees and grass.
From this street you can see tho
towers of Edinburgh castle standhig
out against the sky. Here nre statues
of Edinburgh's great and gnrdens
where the Scots- can take the nlr with
out going to the outskirts of the city.
Of tho statues, the most beautiful Is
that of Scotland's fnvorlte writer, Sir
Walter Scott. An nrch decorated with
many spires forms n covering for a
marble statue of the novelist. About
him In corners of tho arch arc smalt
statues of his greatest characters.
Princes street Is beautiful because
the Scots have never swerved from
their purpose of making It so. Noth
ing can be added to' Princes street, no
structure built without the upproval
of the city.
WOULD BREAK OLD CUSTOM
Modern Girl Not Satisfied With Sec
ond Place, Even When Inscribed
on Her Tombstone.
There's a certain old cemetery out
In Jersey wliere, now nnd again, when
visiting friends the writer strolls
on Sunday. Many a story lingers
about a neglected grave or a haughty
headstone.
But two very-inuclwtllve young peo
ple furnished her diversion one ufter
noon. They' were engaged, that was
plain, and proud of It. Theirs wns a
linppy silence, broken by the girl's
clear soprano.
"Do you know, George, what I'vo
been noticing In this cemetery?"
Apparently George did, not.
"Why, on almost every tombstone
marking the grave of a man nnd his
wife, his name comes first, with hers
tucked modestly below. Tuko this":
And she rend aloud, "Thomns Spring
er. Died April 22, 1842. Age eighty-
five years. Ills wife Annie, died June
2, 1838, aged forty-threo yenrs. You
see even If the wife dies first her place
on the tombstone Is at the bottom.
Isn't It queer?"
George had evidently not bothered
mtidi about tombstones. He'd been too
busy looking at her. Hut It didn't
really matter much, lie thought.
. "Oh, but It does," sho argued. "It's
another attack on n womnn's Individ
utility. Now, when I die, much as I
care for you, I don't want my name
to be a postscript on your tombstone."
Nnturally George assured her that
It shouldn't be. and they strolled on,
In tune with the Infinite and the
weather. It had been a gllmpso of tho
twentieth century girl thnt would hnve
nmnzed Annie Springer; at rest be
neath the moss-grown grunlto.
Integrity a Requisite.
Integrity Is n prime essentjnl to real
miccess. One who Is dishonest may
pile up money, but riches are tint Im
portant without honor nnd tho respect
of your associates. I try always to
keep my word, no matter how trifling
the circumstances, and never promise
what I can't fulfill. I Insist that none
of our men make n contract that the
company can't live up to fully. Any
salesmnn discovered making an agree
ment In which Is InserfCd a clause giv
ing the company a loophole to escapo
from so filling tho contract, will bo
given ten minutes notlce.'Thls policy
is so well understood timt wo never
have to enforce the threat. I never
forget thnt Individual friendship, as
well as corporation gooil will. Is based
on confidence; and the foundation of
confidence Is Integrity. Eugeno G.
Grace. In Forbes Magazine.
Imported and Domestic Trees.
The sycamores that we are planting
on our city streets today may be di
rect descendants of tho nionarchs of
the Attic groves. In our own little
front yard wo may bo honored by tho
presenco of the great-grent-grcat-grandchild
of a tree under which Aris
totle paused to expound some clever
syllogism. Such a thought should In
crease our respect for the neat for
eigners that have so graciously accept
ed tho responsibility for making mir
cities beautiful, Hut It cannot alto
gether wean our affection from the
shaggy giants of ' tho river bottoms
which nro all our own und which bear
their true Americanism depleted In

I'LL SAY SHE WILL
By LILLIAN M. RICHARDS.
(ffi, 1920, by McClur Newspaper Syndicate.
"Oh!" cried Nellie Harrington,
Btnmplng her foot. "I simply can't
stnnd this humdrum existence of cook
ing three meals a day, washing
dishes, sweeping iloors and making
beds any longer, it's the sumo old
thing over and over. How I hate It!"
"There, there, dear," replied her
husband In a soothing voice, "lou
know wo Just can't afford a maid, so
why not make the best of it. I'm
... . .1..
sorry l m not wcaiiny. uui i no uie
best I can."
"Well," exclaimed Nellie emphatic
ally, "I would rather work in Burton's
dry goods store, and pay n mlild out ot
. . i.i.i. i.i
my own salary, inan no mis uorriu
housework any longer."
"Very well, little sweetheart," said
Joe, with a peculiar smile. "If you
would like to try It thnt way for n
while get your position nnd I'll call at
the employment ofllce for a maid."
At last," thought Nellie, "I'm to
graduate from the kitchen." Early the
next morning she secured n position
at the store, and that same evening n
rather plain dressed girl was shown to
the maid's room to begin her duties
In the morning.
The next day as Nellie came down
to breakfast In her tailor-made suit,
reaily for work, her smile changed to a
frown, us she saw the maid In the
daylight. Without her hat on she was
beautiful, and Joe, with his sweetest
smile and In a solicitous inuniier, was
showing her where the household
utensils were concealed.
"Good-by, dear," suld he as Nelllo
was about to leave. "Now don't wor
ry about things at home, us I have a
half an hour yet In which to ncqualnt
Anette with the house."
Nellie's face lengthened, but she
would not give In. Upon renchlng tho
store she was assigned to a counter In
the middle of the building, under arti
ficial light all day. At uoontime,
after swallowing a cold lunch In the
basement, she thought of her little sun
parlor at home, which wns filled with
cozy corners anil beautiful plunts.
Hut, Just then she thought of the
kitchen sink', anil joyfully went hack
to her counter.
On Tuesday and Saturday evenings
In this town all the stores were open,
which meant that Nellie had to work.
She noticed that on these particular
nights Anette always looked her pret
tiest, while Joe wore u contented smile
and seemed delighted with the situa
tion.
All that evening Nellie worried over
Ifer jredlcninent. She had a pretty
little home, and even when doing her
own work could go In the afternoon
If she so pleased. "I wns foolish," she
thought. "Hut how can I get out of
It now, after being the Instigator of
the arrangement?" Her feet were
blistered from the loug hours of nn-
accustomed trudging up and down be
hind the counter, and her head ached
from the noise nnd confusion. After
standing It as long as she could Nel
lie went down to the wiLshrooni, and
Just cried her heart out. "Oh, dear,"
she thought, "washing dishes would
be heaven to this. I didn't know when
I wns well off." On the pi en of a head
ache she was let go home an hour
earlier than usual.
When Nellie reached the house she
casually glanced Into the window, nnd
to her titter astonishment, there was
her husband nicely settled In his easy
chair, with Anette sitting on Its arm,
affectionately running her fingers
through his hair and singing to him
In a soft, sweet voice.
At first Nellie could have screamed
and then she wanted to cry. Finally
she didn't know what to do," but do
something she must. No wonder he
liked the arrangement? Going In the
back door .she called the girl to the
kitchen.
"Anette," said she, tremblingly,
"you may pack your things nnd leavo
hero In tno morning.
"Oh, Indeed." replied the girl, flip
pantly. "Well, I wns hired by Mr.
Harrington, and I'll not be fired by
you."
For a minute Nellie was speechless,
then she managed to weakly call her
husband.
"Let Anette go?" said he, In a sur
prised voice. "Why, certainly not.
never enjoyed this house so much In
my life before; no fussing about the
work and plenty to eat. Besides she's
a very capable girl. Of course, If you
don't wish to work ut the store that
will be nil right, but we will keep
Anette just the snine." Then, putting
the girl on the shoulder, he told Iter to
run along to bed and not worry her
pretty head about leaving.
Nellie felt humiliated ami hurt. Shu
was nn outsider In her own house, and
to think sho herself wns to blanu
After spending a miserable night she
called Joe to her bedside.
"Sweetheart," she begged, "please
let that girl go. I'm so unhappy
Why, I can manage the housework
very nicely alone, and I'll never com
pluln again, never."
After seeing the swollen eyes and
tear-stained face, Joe relented and ex
plained :
"very well, dear. Anette may go
home to her mother tomorrow if you
wish, but the girl's only my llttlo
niece, whom you had never met, and
she came to help me out while you
were working. But If you'll tnke care
of the hotiso now we'll send her back.'
"Qli, Joe," cried .Nellie, shamefully,
"I'll suy I will."
