It Is senrcely feasible, to construct n
textus receptus of this convivial ode, for
It bt a loose assemblage of several dis
jointed themes. The most consilient themo
seems to be the following:
We won't go homo until morning.
We won't go home until morning,
We won't go home until morning,
Till daylight doth appear 1
Till daylight doth appear.
Till dnyllght doth appear,
Wo won't o homo until morning
Till dnj light doth appear.
Then follows without nny apparent e
quenco the encomiastic Manr.ii :
Tor lie's n Jolly guod fellow'.
Tor lie's a Jolly good fellow.
Tor tie'a a Jolly good fellow.
Which nobody can deny,
Which nobody can deny,

Tor lie's a Jolly good fellow

not being nble to detect any evidence

prospered In the game till Ills success
became Itkxome to the old man. who
c.imo out from 'he barroom several

Aside from his feeling that it was

un outsider should win money In the

What Is the source of tho proverb
about buying a pig In a poke? C. N
Proverbs have no source. Tojisywlsv.
they Just grow, then some one puts them
from tho humble mouth Into the dignity
of print and, If he be honest, gives
credit "as siiltih the old saw." There
seems to be a considerable literature of
the pig unit the poke, I'oke, nn ancient
wonl, has returned to use In tho speech
of the Yukon gold adventurers; It li
there Hie buckskin pouch lu which the
miner carries Ids precious dust. "To buy
a pig In a pjke" Is proverbial of the
simpleton, who makes his purchase "un
sight unseen"; In I-'rcneh and Oermm It
Is the cat which Is bought In the bag,
"folln est d'acheter chat en snc," "die
Katzc Im Sack kaufeti." Thomas Tusser
Includes It lu "September's Husbandry":
"In doing of either let wit bearc a stroko
For buxlng or selling of pig In a poke."
The prox'erb np;iearx HUo lu the de
hortatlvo form, "Never buy a pig In n
poke." With nn opposite twist of tho
sense. Hey wood In IStS records "when tho
pig's piolTercd hold up the poke," and
the Spaniards of two centuries earlier
express tho sw common wisdom, "when
they give you a heifer make haste with
the halter."

O. T. There Is a point that seems
open to urgumeiit In playing three hand.
Suppose A Is -1 UP. has W unit -wins
a game, for which be adds 100 In
honors, according to rule. On th' next
ideal A makes 10, which added to his
21 gives him n game. It bets that as
soon ns C won a game, both A ana II
stinted with him at r.ero for the next
game.
II Is correct. A line should be drawn
undir all three scores when any one of
the players goes game. The bonus for
winning a game Is 125 points, not lnn.
This Is supposed lo be the equity for
half a lubber of 2j0.

pessess. H. T. I.Kos'Ai'.n.
Mons began fighting. Cesar founded It
It ns n camp nnd n short time later
Cicero's brother sustained n slego by
Amblorlx. lis most famous siege w.m In
tri72. delivered by I'rcderlc of Toledo,
one of the distinguished generals of Alba.
The siege lasted from the end of June
to tho middle of September; sorties and
ri.llef were vain; the town capitulated
under the most honorable conditions. In
1691 the Murechal de Luxembourg at
incited tho town,. Inflicted great damage
and forced surrender. In 1709 Marlbor-
oug'h and l'rlnce Eugene attacked nnd
oarrled the tiwn after a siege of 12(1
dnjs, In 174il the Prince do Contl laid
succeisfut siege. In 1792 Mons was tho
flr-t fruit of the Republican victory nt
