Inc.) WHY Is a "Chancellor" So Named? Even when we find that the title "Chancellor" is derived from the Latin cancellus, a grating which is also the root-word of our verb, "to cancel" it is still puzzling to trace the connection between a lattice work- and the office of lord high chancellor or the chancellor of the exchequer. But the application of the name and the gradual evolution of the office came about in this maner: Originally, in the Roman empire, a "chancellor" wasa petty officer sta tioned at the fence or lattice-work of a law. court in order to see that unauthorized persons did net pass this boundary line. The Emperor Carinus. the immediate predecessor of Diocletian, caused a great deat of adverse criticism throughout the empire by appointing a "chancellor" to office, of prefect of Rome. Later, in the eastern empire, a "chancellor" was a secretary who sat inside the lattice-work and who was hlso invested with, judicial functions. snd, .ultimately, with the work of overseering the other officers of the empire. From this high dignity to that of an ' English lord chanceltor Is only'a simple step, but it isinter esting to note that throughout this entire process pi evolution, the name gained from thes proximity tef the lattice-bars of the court should have persisted to the present day.

The idea that it is unlucky to be married in May is not so prevalent as it was formerly, but the supersti tion still lingers.. We get it from the . Romans. , Ovid mention? it as being a vuigar superstition in. his day. The Romans apparently got i from the Greeks and brought it with them to Britain, whence we inherit it ' l shows how a train, of super stitious thought once set going wi'.l persist through .the ages. The curious thing about this superstition i that it should evef have originated; for the month ot May in ancient times was dedicated to the goddess Maia, the mother of Mercury and the goddess of growth and increase. The popularity of June as a month for marriage is. likewise inherited from the Greeks and Romans for the goddess Juno, to- whom the month was dedicated, was the spe cial patroness of marriage, Perhaps, the discrimiation between May and June had its "origin in the fact that while Juno was the lawful wife of Jupiter Maia wis only Jiipiter's "affinity." 7 ' V (Copyrlthtr HSl, by the McClure KeJre ... paper Syndicate.)

And having an enormous appeitehe was .fortunate in being expert at finding angleworms.. To be sure, he had one advantage that the birds, for instance. d;dn't "Wig. certainlg! CerHinly! said, Grandfather Molsr . cnjoy:.he was able to prowl about his galleries through the ground and find the angleworms right- where they lived. He didn't need to wait as- the birds did until an angle worm stuck his head above ground. Mrs. Jolly Robin had often wished when she was trying to feed k rapidly, growing family that she could hunt for" angleworms as Grandfather Mole -did. And this summer it seemed to her that she never would be able to take proper care of her nestful of children. There , was one of her family- in particular that was especially greedy, Mrs. Robm had begun to-' suspect that he was no child of hers, but a young Crowbird. Almost as soon as she had finished building her nest she had discovered a strange looking egg there. It had been the first to hatch. And now the youngster that came from it was just enough older than the rest of her children .to jostle them, and to grab the biggest worms for him self. y It was no wonder that Mrs. Robin needed help. And seeing Grand father Mole one morning, she ex plained her Uilriculty to him, asking if he wouldn't be so kifld as to cap ture angleworms for her. v "Why, certainly! Certainly!" said Grandfather ' Mole." . ' And Mrs.. Robin breathed a sigfi of releif.- She felt that her troubles were ended.. '.. ' "Will you. begin to helpme at bnce?" she asked Grandfather Mole Vl'm sorry that I can't do that," he told .her. -; ''You see, I haven't had mj'. breakfast yet. So of course I must catch a few angleworms-for myself.'" ;t , Mrs. Robin was 'a bit disappointed. But she told Grandfather Mole that it was-all right that she knew a person of his age ought not to go without his. breakfast. " So . Grandfather Mole went back into the hole through which he had lately : come up, first saying, how ever, that he would return after he had breakfasted. . Mrs. Robin then set to work her self, to' find what she could to feed her clamoring, family. Though she hurried as fast as she could, by the time the morning. was almost half gone her children were still hungry; and to Mrs. Robin's distress Grand father Mole had not yet showed himself again.-- Mrs. . Robins had been watching for him. And she had bout givcli him up in despair7Whenll at once he rose out of the ground. "Good 1" she cried. "Now you can help me, for you must have had your breakfast by this time." "Yes, I have!" said Grandfather Mole. "IVe just .finished. But I always begin my luncheon at this hour. So if ypu don't mind I'll go down into my galleries and hunt for a. few angleworms; and when I've had a good meal I'll come back here.1' Well, what could Mrs. Robin say? She nodded her head; and she Jjoped, as Grandfather Mole van ished, that perhaps he would eat only a light lunslieon. But he never reappeared until mid afternoon. And since he announced then that he was ready to begin his dinner Mrs. Jolly Robin saw that she could expect no help from him whatsoever. ' She was terribly upset. But there was nothing she could do execpt to tell herhusband that he would have to spend all his time catching angle worms for the family. , And" since he waj glad enough to do that, Mrs. Robin, managed tp feed her children all they needed. Even the young Crowbird in her nest had all he wanted. cAnd Mrs. .Robin remarked that it was lucky her husband hadn't such a terrible appetite as some people's meaning Grandfather Mole's, of course. .
