-Surnames and Their Origin
KEMPSON.
Varlatione—Kemp, Camp.
Raolei Origin—English.
Source -An Occupation.
Here is a group of family names the
origin of which could not be recog-
nized without reference to some oom-
pilatton of English words in use about
the time 'the Norman overlords of Eng-
land ceased to use French aa their
common tongue, and the Anglo-Saxon
speech, after two centuries or more of
depression and change, emerged and,
Under the influence of Norman pro-
Runciation, termed the foundation of
OUT modern English:

word for "soldier." "Walter le Kemp"
DYER.
Variation—Lister.
Racial Origin -English,
Source --An occupation.
The family name of Dyeris guite
recognizable by the modern EJnglish-
epeaker as having developed from a
word denoting an occupation. That is
because in this one both the word de-
noting the occupation and the name
have changed similarly from the orig-
inal form, and have not, as in many
cases, drifted apart. Nevertheless the
original word would be unrecognizable
to the average person to -day.
In the Middle Ages it was spelled
"Deghere" or "Dighatere." But if you

Mothers Who Made History,;i..,..��1.>ri. ray
Probably the moat famousOf all
"mothers" is Mother Hubbard, the old
lady whose time seems to -hate been
taken up in attn.-cling to the wants;
w1shee, and antics of her equally fa-
mous dog. Although this animal must
have been very trying, Mother Hub-
bard ..hover appearsto have lost her
temper for a momene for the lengthy
nursery rhyme ends with a charming
couplet:—
The dame made a curtsy, the dog made
a bow,
The dame said "Your servant," the dog
saki "Bow -wow."
Which is usually what a dog does
sari
Into "Dyer," together with the broad -1
ening of the short "I" or indefinite "e"
into the modern English long "i."
"Lit" was another old English word
which meant "dye," In a medieval
manuscript there occurs the following
Make the Fair -Ground Work
All the Year. ,
T2', average country fair -ground is
a fr round and nothing else, serv-
ing the public only during fair week.
The rest of the year it is wholly idle
and deserted and sometimes even un-
sightly. Yet the fair -ground is often
a pretty natural park with trees and
is generally very accessible to both
town and country people. If natural
pienicing and play places are hard to
And, as often is the ease in prairie
country, why riot then make a recrea-
tion centre of the fair -ground?
This was the idea that came to the
Fair Association of a county in Iowa.
The grounds are within the city limits
of West Union and on the main-tra-
reled road from country to town.
There is a natural grove of oaks on
Me area and a bright &reek meanders
Alirough it. No other body of water
is near.
The Fair Association laid the mat-
ter of making a playground of the fair
park before the public and found
prompt willingness to co-operate, and
open pocketbooks offered to carry out
the plan. Playground equipment was
bought and set up. Picnickers were
invited to make free use of the
grounds. Then last summer a swim-
ming pool was added. It was accom-
plished in the the simplest of ways.
The creek runs along one side of the
fair -grounds and makes a bend down
the other side. Water was taken from
the creek and carried through tiling to
the swimming pool. From the lower
end of the artificial pond the water
flowed out Into other tiling and back
into the' creek. This gave running
water, making the bathing place pure
i
and sanitary, The pool is 40 x 150
feet, with sloping bottom, and coat
about $2,600.
Through the summer the pool was
the most popular place in town, and
summer evenings the fair -ground was
the gathering place of town and coun-
try folks. The grass has been kept
mowed and the place given generally
the same care as a regular park.—

Very Shy.
"The bride was very shy—yes, she
war shy about ten years when it came
to giving her age!"
His Careless Ways.
"When you found you hadn't your
fare did the conductor make you get
off and walk?" asked the inquisitive
man.
"Only get off," was the sad reply.
"He didn't seem to care whether I
walked or sat down."
Starfish to the number of thousands
attacked a German swimmer who was
attempting to cross the Frisian Sea.
The creatures stung him so severely
that he had to relinquish his attempt
after many fruitless efforts to beat off
his assailants.

Another famous "mother" is Mother
Goose. Unlike Mother Hubbard, she
was a real person, and under her name
an enormous amount of child -latera,
ture has been published, of which she
is responsible for only a email por-
tion. Her daughter married Thomas
Fleet, a famous American printer, and
they had a little son. The grandmoth-
er used to make rhymes and sing
them to this little fellow, and her son-
in-law printed them as "Mother
Goose's Nursery Rhymes.
Mother Carey is an English way of
s•ayleig Mater Cara, and she is famous
for her "chickens," which are the sea-
birds known to sailors as stormy pet-
rels, because they always seam to
scream around ships during a storm.
Mother Carey'e geese are the great
black petrels ox fulmars seen in the
Pacific, and .the saying has arisen that
when snow falls Mother Carey 1a

Mother Shipton is another famous
"mother." She lived in the reign of
Henry VIII., and, as everybody knows,
is famous for her prophecies.. In a
vague way he foretold the age of avia-
tion, steam, and petrol, as well as the
death of Cardinal Wolsey.
SAVED BABY'S LIFE
Mrs. Alfred Tranchemontagne, St.
Miohel des Salutes, Que., writes:—
"Baby's Own Tableta are an excellent
medicine. They saved my baby's life
and I can highly recommend them to
all mothers." Mrs. Tranchemon-
tagne's experience is that of thousands
of other mothers who have tested the
worth of Baby's Own Tablets. The
Tablets are a mire and safe medicine
for little ones and never fail to regu-
late the bowels and stomach, thus re-
lieving all the minor ilia from which
children suffer. They are sold by medi-
cine dealers or by mail at 25 cts. a box
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,

When Smith's Mind Worked.
Smith was a freshman, older than
most of his class. He was tall, lanky
and slow, His mind, like his body,
worked slowly, and the nervous pro-
fessor in mathematics, after a long and
careful explanation, was wont to say:
"Well, Smith, If you will go over.
that explanation carefully and medi-
tate en it, I think you will understand.
Meditate, Smith, meditate."
So Smith became "Meditate" Smith
to Ms fellow students.
One evening a party of students
gathered in the room of one of their
number, and Smith was one of them.
The meeting was for fun and perhaps
mischief, and suck a meeting was an
infringement of rules.
When the jollity was at its height,
a warning Dame that the professor
was coming to investigate. The room
was oleereed at once. Smith as usual
was the last, and, hearing steps ap-
proaching, he crawled under the bed,
seeing no other way of escape. Here
he sat doubled up like a jackknife
awaiting the event with no little ap-
prehension.
The profaner entered, looked about
him, saw that the room was empty,
then turned to depart. As he closed
the door, a thought seemed to strike
him; he re-entered the room and look-
ed
ooked under the bed.
"Hay, Smith, what are you doing
there?" he cried.
Smith turned his head with difficulty.
"Meditating, professor,"
The professor withdrew.
All He Wanted.
Through the doorway of the mil-
liner's shop walked a smartly -dressed
man who approached the manager,
and said:
"I see you have a sign in your win-
dow reading: 'We . Wi11 gladly remove
any hat from the window." "
"That is correct, air," said the man-
ager, with a beaming, expeotant smile.
"Very well," went on the visitor,
"would you object to bringing out that
largehat in the middle of the window?
I mean the one with the purple ribbon
and pink feathers."
"Not at all, sir, not at all," the man-
ager assured him, and hastened to
comply.
"Thank you so Mach," exclaiuied the
visitor, when the manager once more
approached, hat in hand. "I don't Mink.
I could have borne walking past your
shop for a single day more with that
tiling : staring at me." ..
Wasp't Ambitious.
Irene was being shown off by her
mother.
"We are very proud of our little
girl,"` said her mother to the visitor,
"We are going to send her to school
in the autumn, where she will learn,
ooh, such a' lot, and ba a bright and in-
telligent child"
"But I don't want to be bright and
intelligent," said Irene, "I want to be
just like mummy!„
