COULDN'T SEE THE AFFECTION Many Will Understand Big Man's Failure to Detect Humor in 8tru<r gle With Car WLndow. The big man with the flery look en his faee had been struggling with the car window for twenty minutes. Sud denly it came down on him and held him a prisoner. With much fuming and wriggling he Anally released him self. "Confound that blasted window!" ho thundered, almost exploding with rage. "I feel liko I could chaw It up in bits, glass and all." It was then that the humorous lit tle man in the noxt seat touched him on the arm. "My friend," he said, with a merry twinkle in his eyea, "don't bo so an nry with the window: Why, that window likes you. In fact, "it ia really affectionate." "What! Aro you joshing mo? Tho window affectionate?" * "Certainly, sir. Didn't it fall on your neck?" And then the humorous little man vanished toward tho smoker. T urtlea. "Tatt(X)." the word that, starting from unconnected sources In Holland and the South seas, has come to rep resent two unconnected things by the same sound and spelling, is an exam ple of a curious trick of our language. Another is "turtle." Nowadays what It most commonly suggests Is the creature that gives the soup; so that we have Mark Twain's young man in Palestine disgusted becauso the mud turtle will not sing, though the voice of the "turtle" should be heard in the land. Hut tho original English "tur tle" was the dove (I^atln "turtur," rep resenting the sound of its voice). English sailors, coming across tho creature which the Spaniards called "tortuga" (our "tortoise, from L?atin "tortus," twisted, in allusion to its legs), made of It the "turtle" into which they were more familiar.
