Nor can this have bear a matter of surprise, for Ills great-grand- father and grandfather were assassin- ated; 11e himself, before the tragedy 0f Ekaterinburg, was attacked by a Korean at Port Arthur and wounded in the bead.et Compared with foreign royalty,- the British Sovereign moves with perfect freedom among his people. Neverthe- less, the "shadows" who watch`bgalnat the possibility ot attack by dangerous individuals never relax their vigilance. Two experienced Scotland Yard men follow the. King wherever he goes; while the Prince of..,'aWales also has a "shadow" attaoha dlo hes' suite.a.Q. ugen'V1cterla was beloved, but five limes she was the object of attack. King Edward, ,when Prince of Wales, was shot at by a crazy young anarchist in Brussels railway station—a man named Sipido, who said afterwards thathe believed it to be hie "duty" to kill kings and princes. Royalty do not like being "shadow- ed," but it is a necessity to which they must bow, King Edward, a year be- fore bis death, was entering Bucking- bam Palace grounds when a man was found concealed in a shrubbery. He proved to be a deranged person who thought he had the rigbt to speak to the King. It will be remembered that some months ago a woman stopped King George as he was about to enter his motor, and presented him with a paper. Seeing the incident, the "shadows" pressed forward to remove the In- truder; but with his usual tact and courtesy, His Majesty listened patient- ' atient' ly to the woman's story. Among European royalty the risk of assassination is great. In pre-war days many European Courts were plunged into mourning by the assas- sin's dagger or pistol. Twice King Humbert of Italy, father of the present monareb, was shot attby anarchists. Acciarite•—who lived` for some time in Soho—fired at the King on April 22nd, 1897, but only a slight wound wee inflicted. But on July 29,th, 1900, while leaving an athletic festival at Monza, the Italian monarch_„ was shot by Brescl, a political fanatic, the woundproving fatal. Queen Alexaudra's brother, Iiing George of Greece, was a kindly, well- meaning monarch, but he met an un- timely ntimely death at the hands of an as- sassin. " A Sultan's "Nerves," The Austrian Court of the Emperor leranets Toseph had no simpler figure than the Empress Elizabeth, his con- sort. But while walking to, Mass by the shores of Lake Como, she was stabbed to delith by an anarchist, who yet remains In prison, for there is no capital punishment in Switzerland.

On February 1st, 1908, the world was startled by the news of the assassin - tion of King Carlon of Portugal and his heir. The tragedy took place on the quayside, Lisbon, the shots being fired by seven political miscreants connects ed with the Republican party. Dom Manoel was called to the throne, but on October 4th of_ the name year he. was a fugitive, and fled with his moth- er to England. Ever -Watchful Eyes. Power From Pears.

Surnames an Them'' Origin FLETCHER Variations-Aremith, Setter, Tipper, Flower. Racial Origin—English. Sources—Trades. Who says there is no "romance in names? How many business men, manufacturers, merobants, manual workers and professional men of this modern age go busily about their daily occupatlons without a thought, with- out even the knowledge that their family names are the last relics of what was once one of the mightiest industries of medieval England, and which today is obsolete. The ancestors of the ir9etchers, Ar smiths, Setters, Tippers and Flowers were the backbone ,of the English na- tion in the ,middle ages, for they fur - Welled her fighting forces with muni- tions; that deadliest weapon with which the .English maintained their independence upon many a battlefield before the. final development of the musket and the rifle. The family name Arsmith is simply a cdntraction of "arrow -smith." The arrowsmith was he who made his liv- ing by fashioning arrow heads. The Setters were those who set the heads upon the arrow shafts. Tippers were craftsmen who sharp- ened the points after they bad been set - The Flet0hers (it was also shelled "lleccher" in those days) were those who affixed the feathers or "fledges" (from the same word root which gives us both "feather" and "fledgeling") to the shafts, This was probably the pro- cess which required the greatest fit esse, for the true flights of the ar- roin those long shots for which the archers of old England were famous depended as much on the feather as anything. Tho term `Pletcher" also was used in the more general sense as embracing the entire craft of arrow makers. "Flo" was a familiar name for the arrow itt those days, whence conies the name "Flower." WARREN,. Variations—Warnett, Wareing, War- inp,, Warison, Wasson, Fltxwarin, Fitzwarren, Warner, Racial Orlg I n—N orme n.Fre nch. Source ----A given name; also an Occu- pation. Here is a group of family mimes, all of which come from either of two sources but ftom which it is Impos- sible to state in the ease of Warren, except where the individual is fortun- ate enough to be able ,to trace back the genealogy of bis particular family to its origin. Most of the family names in this group are the outgrowths of a given name which was quite widespread- in medieval England, having been intro- duced by the Normans, but which has become obsolete to -day as a given name, They are, of course, to be found many men who bear Warren' as their first names, hat in virtually every case this is the result of the purely modern custom lei using 'a family name as a given name. The old name, in its Norman"form, was originally "Guerin" or "Guerin," but under the Saxon influence it rapid- ly became softened Juto "Warta," in which form it fairly crowds the old re- cords. Warnelt comes from "Wart- not's-son," the "ot" being a diminutive ending. Wareing, Waring, Warison and Wasson all come from "Werin's- son,' the "son being dropped, for the most part, in the course of time. The "Fitz" variations are explained in the meaning of "fitz" as "son of." Warren, however, often comes from the same source as Warner, which is the medieval word 'Warrener," "War - eller' or "Warner," from "Waren," a game preserve. The farener'was the oiiicer who had charge of these forest -wilds and naturally came to be known as "Jacke le Warner," "Richard de Waren,'•ete. Sons often followed the same calling as their fathers, .and eo such names in many cases, lost their original meaning descriptive' of occu- pation and became simply family "tags."

This Remarkable Jew Suffered Scandals That Would Have Ruined Others. The Earl„of Reading, Viceroy of In- dia, and ono of the most r°emarkable figures in British political life, who is in London to confer with the Govern- ment on Indian policy, is the only man in the world wbo actually rules over as many as 350,000,000 persons.

When he was at the head of the English bar he entered Parliament as a Liberal. But he did not immediately succeed, or ever' establish a parlia- mentary reputation, much to the sur- prise of his colleagues. Perhaps too much was expected of him. He did, however, become Solicitor General, and later Attorney General, which he remained until- 1913. Then cane his bitterest failure—the Marconi scandal. He was no longer the mischievous boy, or the adolescent) stock -broker. . He was the most dis- anguished lawyer in Itugland, and law officer of the Crown. And together with Lloyd George he was implieated in a charge of having used Cabinet in- formation to speculate in !Vercelli shares. The incidents would have rained almost tiny one else.
