Popp Phone 162 West McHenry Baraet having christened one of its frtreets Pepys avenue, now finds It- «j&elf involved in the. old controversy *s to the correct pronunciation of the ^diarist's name. Some years ago A. H. Blake, after an investigation of evidence, reported to the Library association In favor of "Peeps," but this was In direct opposition to the practice of the Cottenham Pepys, one of whom V.h™ sddr«w?«?d »« "Poonn* retorted angrily, "My name, sir, is Pep-pis." One at least, of the diarist's contemporaries would have recognized neither of these. James Carcasse, clerk In the office of Pepys, in his "Luclda Intervaila," published In 1679, has the lines Him must I prate* Wfea opM«< hath my lip#, 8«nt me from navy to Ui« trk of ( Pepya. Which clearly suggests that he knew his chief , as "Pips."--Manchester Guardian. WILL KEEP RELICS IN OLD HOLYROOD '.JEhsr ancient palace of Holyrood house holds the proud tradition of being the royal palace of the Scottish kings. David I, in 1128, founded an abbey in Edinburgh and named it Holy Rood. The monastery, which was built in the Norman and early Gothic styles, was dissolved in Henry Vlirs time and the chapel became a parish church. James II of England made it a chapel royal in 1687, but it began to fall into ruins in 1768. The adjoining palace, begun by James IV in 1501, was used as the residence of the king until the union. The present king and queen of England make it their abode when visiting Edinburgh. Now a trust has been established to preserve the many articles of historical Interest gathered ^ beneath the roof of the ancient palace, and the trust is empowered to add to this collection.--Kansas City Times. HOT WRITTEN FOR THE GENTLER SEX Admiral Sir Harry Keppel, the sailer who made over the British navy, was exceedingly fond of his Rabelaisian fund of anecdote, and experienced difficulty in producing his memoirs because his "lady typist" refused flatly to take down his best stories. Harry Furniss, the caricaturist. recalls one tale of the admlral i When visiting the royal yacht at Cowes, the prince of Wales Informed Queen Victoria that "the little admiral," as Sir Harry "was called, was about to publish his reminiscences. Her majesty called hini before her and said: "I hear, Sir Harry, you are going to publish your recollections. I shall be glad to read them." "No, your majesty," he said, "I fear they will not be fit reading for a lady." The admiral was exceedingly fond of shooting, but was a careless shot. On one occasion he wrote his hostess: "I have had an excellent day's sport. I have shot two woodcock, ten pheasants, a rabbit and your so; change. Compromised ' j "My wife started a row with me this \ morning, just as I was coming away," on the porch of the tavern at Tumlinville, related Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. "But I was In too big a hurry to quar*l, and so I compermised with her." . . "How did you do that?" queried an acquaintance. "Aw, I just hollered, 'don't believe a word you say, but I agree with U all !' and whipped up and drove away as fast as I could."--Kansas City Star. TEN APOSTLES ON ROLL OF MARTYRS - According to the generally received traditions of the church the twelve apostles came to the following ends: Andrew suffered martyrdom at Patrae in Achala, on a cr6ss of the form known as St Andrew's cross; Bartholomew was crucified at Albanopolls In Armenia; James the younger was probably stoned to death; Matthew died a natural death; Philip died a violent death at Hierapolls, but by what mode is uncertain; Simeon Peter was crucified at Rome; Thaddeus, or Jude, probably suffered martyrdom In Persia; John, the beloved disciple,, lived, according to Jerome, to be about one hundred years old, and died at Ephesus; Simon Zelotes was crucified at one hundred twenty-nine years of age; Thomas was put to death in India, and Judas Iscarlot hanged himself. Dog Rings Salute At Gllkey's Harbor (Maine) light station Is a dog, the pet of the keeper, who Is ecstatically joyous over the passing of every boat Many of the fishermen who pass daily he has learned to recognize and In response to a whistle his joy knows no bounds until he rushes to the foghouse bell and tugs at the rope which rings the bell. A recognized feature of every excursion is to run close enough to the Qllkey light to see the dog ring a salute. Sheiks Discard Robes No longer do the students in the prominent schools of Egypt all wear the traditional sheik's robes. After a small, but significant, civil war, they discarded the flowing robes for the modern dress. The minister of education favored the robes and threatened a lockout of students, but the students entered classrooms by wearing robes over their modern suits and discarding them while remaining In school. Burglar's Luck Breaking Into an office In Bishopsgate, London, England, a burglar had an unexpected piece of luck. His search of the office revealed nothing of value except a key which he discovered in a corner of a desk. He tried the key on the safe, and found that the safe bpen<ed easily. He then helped himself to $750 In money and a deposit note for $23,000, and made his escape. The key was a spare one which had lain In the desk turbed for twenty years. : S PITHILY PUft Are giraffes sold by Hie pond w the yard? The future, Is always i ffelryland In the young.--Sala.

Mary and JNin are taking vows before a registrar in increasing numbers and eliminating the religious ceremony because of the expense.

When will experimenters produce a chicken three stories high? Only one back, see? Women all have a lot to say about model husbands, but they all want t different model. All that one gains tjffalsehood fei not to be believed what he speaks the truth.--Aristotle. When some men start out, to look for the deserving poor their first Step is in front of a mirror. A silent man often Has a reputation fOr knowing about ten times as BQch as he really does know. ' ' A bad temper Is something that always catches us off our guard; and its tricks are endless. Gun Silencers Used on Railroad Engines Oil-electric locomotives for railroad yard use in cities would wake up the neighborhood all night long were, It not for gun silencers. These devices, Invented for use on firearms for war service, so that gunners might fire silently, have found a new and growing use. The silencers, unlike automobile exhaust mufflers, do hot reduce noise by placing obstructions In the path of the discharged gases, but by passing the exhaust through the peculiarly constructed silencing chamber. Oilelectric engines, designed especially for railroad switching service, gen erate their power aboard without emitting the smoke and noise. Traveling Schoolrooms Schoolrooms on wheels are now a feature in sparsely settled regions of northern Ontario. They form a part of the educational program introduced by the province, working in conjunction with the railroad.

JAMES MORROW & SON Waukegan and West McHenry Torch Works Under Water Engineers in the United States navy have perfected a torch that can melt and cut steel at any depth under water. The device, used In opening sunken submarines, consists of a jet of hydrogen and oxygen which emanates from two separate sleeves to the tip of the torch. From the time the flame Is applied the steel plate, usually an inch thick or less on submarines, can be cut at the rate ot a foot a minute, Honors Are Even .John lives In Ann Arbor, Mlch„ and Is tl ° son of one of the professors. * He naturally hears a great deal about the virtues of the college, and is especially interested in the athletics of the institution. The other day he asked his father whether Michigan had won all of her football games this year. On receiving an affirmative reply, he studied a moment and said, "And America has won all her wars." Forgot the Baby Three weeks after the birth of her first baby, an Eldorado girl-mother left the hospital. As she tripped along the hall waving farewell to patients in various rooms, she was a picture of happiness and eagerness to be at home. Just as she stepped into an elevator, a nurse hurried from the room the mother had occupied, calling, "You've forgotten the baby!" And sure enough she had.--Capper's Weekly.
