The Term ••€>•■ y.* Every one the term “crony” I the sense of "Aum” or "pal." and th* I phrase "old cronv-s" has become specially familiar, but it is doubtful I whether the original word bore any refer u-e to friendship. The uew English ilk-t.ouary puts dosru its origin to academa- slang aud quotes the immortal Pepye for the easiest pf Its use. Quite re ently, however, au old

letter of a still earlier date has come to light lu which a scholar is described as “content to destroy his body with night labors and everlasting study to overtake his chronyes and contemporaries.’' From this it would seem clear that the word was a bit of university jargon, med to denote students of the lame date and coined from the Greek word that appears In the terms "chronology. '“chrou jin- ter." "chronograph," tuat are connected with time. Au Irish Incident. “Driver." said an English tourist who was being driven on a jaunting car through the Donegal highlands.

How is this?*' To which camo the retort: “Musha. now thin. Isn't English good enough for him?" Good Idea. “The andent Chaldeans.’’ observed fbe professor, “used to write their let ters on bricks." "And a g >od Idea too." chimed In practical Mr. Graball. "Then when a girl sent a fellow's letters back to him h? could use 'em to build a stable or something." The Real Acme. "The acme of happiness.” gushed the ardent lover, “is to marry the woman you lore.” “Tiiere's something In that." responded the old married man.

It's had Just the same effect upon papa." Wot ■ Contractor, “Do<* your sod worry you by con* trading debts?" "He doesn't contract debts; ha expands :bem." Looking One tn the Ere*. There is ave.. <de specimen of proverb il philosophy which says that the man who cannit look you in the face is dishonest. No other saying has received greater currency.
