Racial Origin â€" Engllih. •ourceâ€" An occupation. Had the words "doctor" or "physl- elan" be«n In use about the eleventh twelfth and thirteenth centuries in Cnt^land, aa they are to-day, such family names as Lieache, Leeche and Leachman would not exist. Instead we would have such names as John C. Doctor, or James J. Physician, or Har- riso^Q. Chirurgeon. But it was not until the time of Queen Elizabeth that the words "phisition" and "chimigien" (snr- seon) came into general use, and not nntU still later that tb« physician was called "doctor." At the period when family names were belnc fori, .r there were no •physicians except the barbers, and the principal method of treating nearly all diseases was to bleed the patient with a leech, a litrie blood-sucking worm. The barber was at once the physician and the "toasorial artist." He was as frequently known by the medical branch of his trade as the other, as {Was called the "leachman" as aften _MA the "harbour." In the course of itlme the term "leachman" was often lahortened Into "leeche" or "leache." A large factor in settling these old jtrade names into family names was the fact that children so often follow- ed the same occupations as their par- ents, though in many cases the des- criptive name would stick to a son even when he did not follow his father's calling, simply through the sheer seceeslty of his having more than cae name at a time when popu- ilations were growing so fast that each man could not have a distinctive given name. KELLY. I. Variation*â€" O'Kelly, Keely. Racial Origin â€" Irish. Source^A given name. The author of the lyrics of that once popular ditty "Kelly from the Emerald Isle" never announced publicly wheth- er he chose that name for the hero of his ballad because it fitted the rythm, or from a more subtle motive. As a matter of fact, the name was singularly appropriate to the spirit of this humorous Jingle of adventure, be- cause the given name from which the Kelly group of family names Is derived means nothing more or less than "strife." These family names, however, are very ancient and honorable ones, com- ing In the majority of cases from the country about Wicklow, in Ireland. But with them again we have anoth- er example of the wide difference be- tween the ancient and modern spell- ing, with a difference in pronunciation which is much less marked. The given name from, which i.elly, O'Kelly are derived is "Ceallach," which cer- tainly does not look like "Kelly," but there is really little difference In the pronunciation of the two. A slight broadening of the flnal "y," with the restoration of the "ch," which is best described as a softened or aspirated "k" sound (somewaat similar, but not quite, to the German "ch") completes the transformation back to the ancient pronunciation. The Celtic "c" is al- ways a "k" sound. There are modifi- cations, of course, but never to our modem "s" sound. Keely is an An- glicized version of the name. mmm ailiests CkaOSttd AdirmtkemmU Th« AlhBVBts of childhoodâ€" consti- pation, tndlceatlon, colic, colds, etc. â€" can b* quickly banlshad through th* use of Baby's Owb Tablets.

With the help of hia twelve-year-old son he pumped the well dry and removed six Inches or so of the mud. The bottom five feet of the hole had been blasted out of soft, disintegrating shale.

When Mary Jeving married William Smythe and was able to have calling cards with "Mrs. William Symthe" en- graved upon them, she felt that life had no higher pride in store for her. She preserved this attitude through all the years of her married life. When Mr. Smythe died she was in- consolable, and even after several years of widowhood she hotly resent- ed any indication that her friends had forgotten her lamented William tor a moment. "It makes me so angry," she said to one whom she suspected of careless- ness in the matter, "to be spoken of or thought of as "Mrs . Mary Smythe,' It Is an insult to William's memory." "Oh, I'm .sure It's never meant for that,(" said the friend, hastily. "Only It's quite customary among certain people, you know, for a widow to take her Christian name â€" have letters ad- dressed to her In that way â€" and so on." "It will never be with me," said the widow, indignantly. "I prefer always (0 be known as 'the late Mrs. William Smythe.' " «> To Save Time. Pat wa.s grumbling because he had no money to spend while on his sum- mer holidays. "I don't know what to do." he groused to his friend Jack. "Now, Pat," he said, "you ought to take your wages to the post-ofllce and put five or six shillings in every week. By the time your holidays are due you will have a comfortable sum in hand." "Right!" replied Pat. "I'll try it." Some weeks later Jack met him and asked him how much he had saved up In the postofflce. "I have no Idea," said Pat. "No Idea! Haven't you got a book like mine?" "No; I never troubled about a book. I Just dropped my money in the letter box as I was passing." â- Â«Â» The Climax. Soti:e little girls were boasting of i their respective famillfki.

Then one day I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills recommended for a similar condition and I got a supply. I continued taking, the pills until I had used about a dozen boxes, and they have made me a well woman. I can now do a good day's work about the house, have no more fainting spells and can go about more actively than I did before. I believe these pills Just the thing for pale, weak girls and women, and if given a fair trial will do for them what they have done for me."

The subject upon which she had hit was that of King Alfred and, at the end of the les- son, she directed the class to write an essay incorporating what she had told them. She impressed upon them the fact that she did not want them on any account to mention the episode of the cokes as it had no bearing on his- torical events, and its authenticity was very doubtful. Twenty small heads were bent in thought for half an hour and then the essays were banded in. . Tommy's effort, though not brilliant, was certainly original: ".Mtred was King of England.
