Ee- cause of this many are duped into paying more than regular mar ket prices for th’ngs they buy. This clans of people is especially susceptible to the appeal of anything re emblir-g an auction. Fake auc tions with the cards stacked against the buyer are very ccriimon. They rank high among the fraudulent schemes of the country. The “here today and gone tomorrow' auction faker rants a fine looking house in some high-ckss section of the city in which ha pirns to operate, lie furnishes this house with the cheapest imitations of high-class fur nishings, with here and there a fine piece which is to serve for bait.

Of other pieces it is maintained that they are w R MOREHOUSE made of rare and precious woods imported from far across the sea.

Development of the hospital memo rial to children of preachers, has brought to light an almost startling array of prominent personages who were the sons or daughters uf minis ters. John Hancock, first signer of the Declaration of Independence, was a preacher’s son. as were eight others who signed that document, One of every nine of the Presidents of the United States have been ministers’ sons, while in one of every foil“ ad ministrations, America's Presidents had daughters of ministers as the lion’s first ta<ly.” One of every five persons In Hall of Fame In New York city is son or daughter of a preacher.

They were tirst given as nick names to suit particular Individuals. Toduy we rarely find any appropriate ness in the names we bear. The greatest hero of the day may easily carry the name of Coward, while Mr. Fox may be anything but sly. Yet It Is probable that the first man to hear the name ef Fex was pre eminent In running. Just as the first I’arrott, or Purratt. was most likely a great talker. Many people were named by reason of their possession of some quality which was associated with a particu lar animal. Hart, for Instance, was no doubt a great runner, and Night ingale could slug. As for the Rud docks (robin redbreast) and Wood alls (woodwale, a woodpecker), they prob bly received their nutnes from the signs they favored outside their doora. The most .Interesting names are those which plainly originated through the occuimtlou of those who held then,. There Is no doubt ubottt Shop herd. Hedger. Herd, or Hoard. Ack- art tan was the man who drove the plow over the acres; Swlunart tended wine; and Calvert looked after the ■alves; while Wethered was a wether- herd, and Goddard a goat-herd.—Lon doll Answers.
