The family names derived from this word must be classified among the names of the later period, when feu- dalism began to disintegrate and the title of “esquire” lost its exact mean- ing, for in the earlier days it is incon- ceivable that mere esquires could have become the fathers of families and bequeathed the name, for esquires al- ways either Won their knighthood or Cholera infantum is one of the fatal ailments of childhood. It is a trouble that comes on suddenly, especially during the summer months. and un- less prompt action is taken the little one may soon be beyond aid. Baby’s Own Tablets are an ideal medicine in warding off this trouble. They rogu- late the bowels and sweeten the stom- ach and thus prevent all the dreaded summer complaints. Concerning them Mrs. Fred Rose. of South Bay, Ont.. says: "I feel Baby's Own Tablets saved the life of our baby when she had cholera infantmn and I would not be without them." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams’ Medicine Co.. Brockville, Ont. “Esquires” formed the lowest class of the nobility. They were youths who had not. yet won their spurs. and it was their duty to carry the shields of the knights in Whose service they were. All of these names come from the medieval title “esquire,” a title which was brought into England with the Norman-French feudal system. In the period immediately following the Nor- man Conquest there was no middle class. The feudal system did not per- mit it. The population was clearly divided between the Norman-French nobility and the Anglo-Saxons, who, together with a smaller number of the Norman common soldiery, formed the vassal class. But there were, of course, gradations among the nobility and the vassals, and it was out of the lower ranks of the one and the higher ranks of the other that the great mid- dle class of more modern England was evolved. While these names themselves are quite clearly of Norman-French origin, It does not necessarily follow that those who hear them are of Norman- French ancestry, though the chances are that in the majority of caSes such an assumption would happen to be cor- rect.

At the ninth stroke a clerk appears behind the door and on the inside of the heavy plate-glass window hangs a card bearing the words, “The Bank 15 Open." Then he turns a key in the lock of the doors and. drawing it out again, returns to his work. The peo- ple outside press up the steps. The foremost person puts his shoulder against one of the leaves of the door. It swings slowly back, and the people enter the opened doorâ€"opened, not by the shoulder of the man without, but by the key of the man within. Before the bank three or four per- sons are waiting for the great doors to be unlocked. How heavy and strong they are! You might dash yourself to pieces against them and they would not give so much as the fraction of an inch.

But such a form as “Roger 1e Koc” or “le Coc” or “1e 00k” occurring in the ancient lists of names kept for taxa- tion or other purposes, has only one reasonable translation, “Roger the Cook.” And that form of name occurs with such frequency as to insure its perpetuation as a family name. At that period “Roger le Cok" could never have been used with the meaning “Roger Atte Cok." But in the vast majority of cases, the forms of the foregoing family names indicate that they come from In such cases it would come as a. shortened form of “Cocker-son,” that is, “the son of the cock-fighter,” for cock fighting is a very ancient sport, and was well established in popular favor in medieval England. 01‘ it might be derived from the form “Atte Cock,” or as we would put it today, It might appear, at first glance, that some of the family names in this group had their origin in some refer- ence to the cock, or rooster.
