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."
