THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
“DUN."
r IKK “boycott,” “jazz,” “bun-
Lv combe” and a number of
other words which are now ac-
knowledged members of the
Knglisb iiitull.v, “dun” lmd Us
origin In a man of that name—a
certain John Dun, wno was con-
stable in England during the
early part of the last century.
Dun, as might tie supposed,
<Vas a past master of bis profes-
sion, a successful collector of
debts. No job was too hard for
him to tackle, no debtors too
callous for him to prick their
conscience or shame them into
payment in oue way or another.
One of the constable's pet
^schemes was to call upon a
debtor twice, and on each of liis
ltrst two visits he would wear
his ordinary clothes. Then, if
the debtor still refused to pay
und there was no doubt Unit ob-
ligation should be met. Dun
would udopt the stratagem of
dressing in some outlandish cos-
tume—a scarlet cloak or a pair
of green tights—so ns to make
himself us conspicuous as pos-
sible. Thus attired ami ringing
a bell In order further to pro-
claim the reason for bis visit, he
would return, und it was seldom
that the debtor withstood more
than one of these public an-
nouncements of Ids delinquency.
Because Constable Dun was
so successful in tlie collection
of money due tt become common
In such cases to say, "You'll
have to send Dun for your mon-
ey” or “Y'ou'll have to Dun him
to get It,” and the expression
persisted •long after the con-
stable himself Mas dead and for-
gotten.

How much money did you spend last
year on worth-while hooks—hooks you
are keeping to read a second time—
books ttint added to your wisdom or
gave you something valuable to think
about ?
How much time did you spend In
tilling your mental storehouse with
facts useful In dally life and valuable
In your daily work?
L>id you spend as much for Informa-
tion as you did for gasoline?
II you were lo add together all the
time you spent gaining knowledge,
would it be half the/time that yon
spent dancing?
* • •
Do you consider that MONEY Is the
only thing you spend?
TIME Is your much greater asset.
You can earn more money.
You cannot, with all the wealth of
all (lie universe. In , all the ages, buy
one minute of time nor bring back for
another and a better use a wasted
hour.
Lord Brougham, n man who spent
Ills time wisely and profitably, wrote
down this short sentence tilled with
good advice: “Rend something of
everything, and everything of some-
thing.”
There is no excuse for any man,
woman or child pest twelve years
spending less than half an hour a day
with a good book.
Reading carefully and THOUGHT.
FULLY you will cover not less than 150
words a minute. That is 4.500 words
a day. ONE MILLION SIX HUN-
DRED AND FORTY-TWO THOU-
SAND WORDS A YEAR. How much
wiser do you think you would be If
you did that for only one year?
Knowledge Is the freest, the most In-
expensive thing In the world, and we
think less of It than of anything else.
Stop making a pet of your stomach.
Stop worrying about your elotbes.
Give up some of the useless tilings
upon which you spend and waste your
time and your money.
Make up a budget Of your earnings
and your hours that shall have in It
a liberal allowance for your raind, for
your intelligence, for your thinking
powers.
What you have Inside your head
| no robber can get, no Ponzi can trans-
fer to Ills pockets. Not even old age
can destroy ft. and perhaps not even
death can take it away from you.
Be generous with your mind. Feed
it. Nourish it. Care for t,. it ,s
the one part of you that really mat-
ters, the one thing upon which you
should spend lavishly and continu-
ously. (Copyright.)

The little chicks stopped nt once, for
they well knew that the old lieits often
ate all tlielr dinner when no one was
looking.
“Y'ou nre badly treated, Indeed,"
said Mr. Fox. “Here you are shut up
In tills very unlieulthful place while
all the old hens live In a nice, big
house. '
“Y’ou all want to live to be big hens
or roqsters, don’t you? 1 know .you
do.” bo said, without waiting for an
answer.
Is good vartl us you can and 1 will save you
from this unlieulthful place and take
you where you can grow up big and
—I mean big and strong.”
The next morning after breakfast all
the chicks rail for the <rate and some
of them crept under It and run down
the road, hut most of them were aeon
h.v the older hens and made to come
buck.
“We want to live lo grow up big und
strong." peeped the chicks that were
brought back. "We cun't grow In that
unlieulthful pluce we sleep In."
“Who told you that silly story?"
asked Mrs. Old Hen.
“Ob, a nice, kind unlmnl who came
to our window last night, lie wants
to save us and we were going to live
In a nice place he bus. Peep, peep;
we want to grow up.”
"I think you will find that It will
be better for your health to live here,"
said Mrs. Old Hen, "for if 1 am not
mistaken that was Mr. Fox who visited
you last night and gave you ticnlth
bints, and those chicks that got away
this morning will never come back.”
The next night Mr. Fox returned to
urge the other chicks to run away the'
next day. “Your friends are to a more
healthful place, my dears,” he said.
’’I want to see you all happy and well
eared for.”
“We have decided that this place Is
healthful enough for us,” said the
i hicks, grown wise since the night be-
fore. "but tt will be very bad for you?

“Now, who has been giving them

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them «
“IN” AND “INTO.”
' I • 11E distinction between the uses
A of these two words, “in” and
, "Into,” can be expressed best by giv-
I i ing examples of proper and imprc|ier
J usage. Therefore, compare the two
sentences which follow: “The. man
| walked In the house” and “The man
walked into the house.'’ In the first
case the action was confined entirely
to the house; that is. the man was
In the house, and lie walked therein.
But In the second case, the man was
outside qhe house, and he entered it.
”Iti” shows state of lieing, or position;
"into" denotes action, movement, ten-
dency or direction.
Do not say: "I fell in the water."
but say, “I fell into the water.” Fol-
lowing Is a case lu which the two
words nre used correctly in one sen-
tence: “I threw the stone Into the
house, and it lies In the room.”
"Come in the house.” says the moth-
er to the child. She should say: "Come
Into the house."
