i in'. and Their 0r
Surnames
HUTTON
Racial Origin—EngIIsh.
Source -A locality, also a character.
Istic.
This is a family name, which, if one,
Judged it by one of its, meanings alone
should be classified as a variation of
the names Houghton and Haughton,
for in a large number of cases it is, de-
rived from a place name which means
"high town." Both the place and the
name, however (which is Hutton),
have an identity distinct from those
concerned in the origin of the names
Hoghton and Haughton.
'But there Is another derivation of the
family name, from the old Norman-
. French word "hutain," meaning
"proud." The mention of such char-
acteristics as this in connection with
a man's 'name with the same given
name, was quite common in the middle
ages. At that period, just prior to the
development of family names and co-
incident with it, populations were in-
creasing so rapidly, and shifting as
well, and the same given names were
applied to so many persons, that some
further method of differentiation, such
as mention of the place whence a man
bad conte, or sof some personal char-
acteristic of . his, was the rule rather
than the exception.
Those who can trace their ancestry
back to a form of the name prefixed
either by "de" or "le" will have no dif-
ficulty in determining whether their
family names developed from the
place name or the nickname. The "de"
indicates the former and the "le" the
latter.
MUNSON.
Variations Monson, Manson.
Racial Origin—English, also Scottish.
Source—Given names.
Munson is a family name of quite
simple and regular origin, but you'd
hardly guess, the given name from
which it oomes unless you were fa-
miliar with the manner in which the
English of the Middle Ages abbrevi-
ated their given names.
Many of the shortened forms of given
names were the same as those we use
to -day, such as Dick for Richard, Har-
ry for Henry, Ed. for Edward, Edgar
or Edmond, and so on. But there was
also a method of using other syllables
of a name than the firstforpurposes
of abbreviation and variation. This
has virtually disappeared among Eng-
Hai-speaking
nglisp-speaking peoples, though it re-
mains among the Germans, .among
whom Hans for John (from Johannes)
is widespread.
In medieval England "Munn," "Mun"
and "Mon" were regular variations of
Edmond and Edmund., and the simple
addition of the ending 'son" to one or
the _other of these forms has given us
the patronymics. Munson, Monson and
in some cases, throukh further varia-
tion, Manson
Manson, however, is more likely to
be of Scottish origin, a development of
"Magnus -son." This is the name of
on'e'of the septs or branches of the Clan
Gunn, that clan ivhieh rose to pro-
minence in the fifteenth century as the
followers of George Gunn, the "Crown
er" or Coroner, a historic figure in
Scottish history.
Cautlous Horse.
Harris prided himself on a thorough
knowledgeof horses and their habits,
and so he was interested when, on a
visit to the country, he, saw a farmer
haying some trouble with his mount.
It would start, amble along slowly
for a short distance and then stop.
-Then thefarmer would have great dlfi
ficulty, in getting it Started again.
Finally Harris approached the farmer
anduasked kindly
"IS your liorse sdok?"
Not; as I know of," was the short
reply.
Is he balky?"
"No. But he's so afraid I'll • say
'Whoa!' and he won't hear.me that he
stops every once in a. while to listen."
Patients did better -in • tents than in
any other accommodation—this is one
of the lessons of the Great War.

Why Many Men and Women Are
Badly Handicapped.
When you ere so run-down in health
that It impairs the efficiency of your
work -as well es:your power to enjoy
your leisure hours, or obtain rest, it is
time you looked to the cause. If you
do not, a serious breakdown is almost
sure to result sooner or later. In near-
ly ail cases this condition, which doc-
torsusually describe as general
debility, is due to poor blood -blood
that is deficient ih red corpuscles.
When the blood is thin and weak your.
whole system suffers. You lose ap-
petite, have no energy, your nerves
trouble you and you feel restless:
What you need is help to build up
your blood and you should begin at
once to make your blood rich and red
by taking Dr. Williams? Pink Pills. You
will soon notice the difference in your
health by a better appetite . and -in-
creased vigor. The reason is that the
new blood created by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills stimulates all the organs of
the body to healthy activity, and so
the system gains nourishment and
strength. If you are weak or out of
sorts begin gaining new strength to-
day by taking Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills.
You .can get these pills from your
druggist or by mail at 50 cents a box
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,

In "California, if you grow 'a mari-

three months. Marihuana is the Span-

Indian hemp. It grows freely, and its
smaller leaves and seeds are dried,
crushed, • and made up into cigarettes.
Although the cost of production is
much less than that of ordinary. tobac-
co cigarettes, the retail price in the
underworld is as much as ten or fif-
