THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"BLACKGUARD." '
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.

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-
