Unknowns Whose Words Have rass- ed Into History. • There are hundreds of people whose names we do not know, though their words have passed into history. There is the nameless, well-dressed woman who, meeting Wordsworth walking by Loch Kathrine one fine evening, observed, "What, you are stepping westward " She gave the poet the idea for his poem, "Stepping Westward." There is the watchraan who passed under Pepy's window crying, "Pest one of the clock, and a cold, frosty morning!" There is the man who first invent- ed the Breton fisherman's petition as he puts out to sea, "Oh, God, do thou help .and guard me; the sea is so wide and my boat is so small." And who was the poor old dame who, when questioned by a kindly bishop, held up her dry crust and said, "I have all this, and faith?" And there are, of course, all the unknowns Wose words are sung and said around the world and w,11 not pass away. DR. G. W. HOWSON ' DENTIST Office over John Galbraith's Store. F. A.
