' IN OLIF.N days the pnlnres of klriK and the palaces of no bles were by no meana a well . furnUhed and as clean a they are at the present day, and It was customary whert members of royalty r the nobility visited each other hat the guest should' bring with him all hi kitchen utensils, pot, pans and even a certain amount of coal. ; Tbe scullions and lesser retainer had charce of these goods, rode among them, were smutted by them and received the contemp- . tuous appellation of the "black guard." In time the word came to be understood as meaning any troop or company of raga muffins, and finally, when It original application had been buried In the lore of centuries, It wa applied to a single per" son as an epithet of opprobri um a being synonymous with a rogue or rascal who would stop at notldng In order to gain bis ends. It wa In the earlier sense, however, that Dryden used the term a n stage-direction In hi play "Don Sebastian." "Enter the captain of the rabble with bis black guard at his heels," and Fuller likewise spoke of the '"devil's black guard" In the Cru sades as meaning the number of thieves, debtors and runaway slaves who joined In the Holy war. (Copyrhrht) LYRICS OF LIFE By DOUGLAS MALLOCH I A PLACE TO TIE. I'VE noticed anoat and a-tramplng, I've seen It on river and land, The thing that the most You need Is a post To tie to when night Is at hand. Some sort of an anlor to hold you. Some hawser thnt never wm rail, Some place you can tie Till the storm has gone by, To help you to. ride out the gale. So many go foolishly drifting - While rnplds are roaring below, Afloat on the tide . Without compass or guide, " .', Till down to disaster they "go: Tho riMi of ns nil is an anchor. 1 A painter to tie to tne snore, Some place to make fast Till the tempest Is past ; And the waters are rolling no more. So many afloat on the river, The turbulent river of life, Have only their own Poor resistance alone " To conquer the trouble and strife. A fellow needs something to tie to, . Ills trail o'er 'he sea or the sod, Some friend that Is true Who will carry mm mrougu- ' A woman, S pal, or a God. J- (Copr right) - y : o : v Logical Indignation.
