CECILY.
CECILY', though used Interchange
ably with Cecilia, Is an Inde-
pendent inline with an Interesting
history. She niuics, of course, fr*>:n
the great Caeclllan gens which, curi-
ously enough, was named for a slow-
worm, a reptile supposed to be blind.
Cala Caecllla is said to have been Un-
real name of the model Roman ma-
tron, patroness of all other matrons,
whose tomb Is famous throughout
Italy.
Anether famous Cue. Ilia was the
Christian martyr, wboae body waa dis.
Interred In perfect state after 200
years and enshrined In a church. It
Is she who is the patron saint of sa-
cred music. In her honor Philip I of
France and William I of England
each named a daughter Cei lie. The
English Ceclle straightway became
Cicely, and btcaiM MMIIUOUl]) popu-
lar about the time of the Reformation.
It was Cicely Neville, called the Hose
of Raby, afterward the duchess of
lork, who gave the name greatest
vogue In England, where she was
known as Proud cis. Iler grandchild,
Princess Cicely Plantagenet, was a
nun.
After the Reformation, strangely
enough, Cicely became a generic term
for milkmaids and sank Into oblivion.
When it was revived It came forth as
Cecilia and was straightway contract-
ed to Cecily and Cecil.
Cecily's tallsmanlc stone Is Jet, de-
noting sorrow, yet, If It is w orn by Cec-
ily, It Is said to preserve her from
misfortune, suffering and danger of
every sort. Wednesday is her lucky
day and 8 her lucky number.

LYRICS OF LIFE
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
UNCLE PETE.
HIS maltese used to conie and rub
Her coat against his leg;
He had a dog, a mongrel scrub,
He taught to sit and beg;
The horses used- to whlnney when
They saw him on the street;
The children ran from other men
To play with Uncle Pete.
He was a sort of village Joke
Who tinkered here and there,
And always poor, and always broke,
And yet he didn't care.
The banker used to sit and frown
Arid growl like anything;
Hut half the way across the town
You'd hear old Peter sing.
I? oiks said he was a failure, yes,
He hadn't any sense—
To go through life in Idleness
And make no competence.
Now, what do you think?—what they
said
About a "failure?" I)#
You think the folks who skook their
head
Had estimated true?
Me?
I think that rtipy were
Well,
right.
Pete had a brother Pat
Who was, like him, the kids' delight
And loved by dog and cat.
Besides nil that Pat worked his land,
Raised hogB and corn and wheat,
Provided for his family, and
Supported Onele Pete.

Appreciation.
The mayor of a Southern town had
been asked to assist In the annual en-
tertainment given at Christmas to the
Inmates of the local workhouse. He
consented with great complaisance
and went and made up as Father
Christinas, For a time his antics and
pranks were the delight of the com-
pany.
A damper on his enjoyment was,
however, eventually brought forward
by a scrap of conversation he chanced
to overhear.
"Isn't lie enjoying himself?" re-
marked one old man to another.
"What a treat it Is for the likes of
him! Rut why can't they let aJl the
loonies out on a night like this?"
"Well," replied the other, "mehbe

—Philadelphia Ledger.
Ihe speaker has been taught, In school,
the rule of grammar which says that
In English all prepositions govern tiie
objective case; that is the word which
follows a preposition must be In the
objective case, but lie has forgotten
the rule.
Now, "between" Is a preposition—a
word used before a noun or pronoun
to show the relation between the per-
son or thing named anil the idea ex-
pressed by some other word or phrase
In a sentence. And "I'.' (used Incor-
rectly In the phrase "between you and
1") Is a pronoun and should not be
"I" nt all, but "me," since "me" Is the
objective form of the personal pro-
noun, first person singular.
All of the above, expressed In sim-
ple English, means simply this: Never
say "between you and I," but say "be-
tween you and me."
