The North knows that legal names eount for little. A perâ€" fectly decent fellow may, by the malâ€" ice of fate and parents, labor under a cognomen like Theophilus Barringâ€" ton when his real name is ‘‘Bugs.‘"‘ Also that "‘ Wilson‘‘ is a common ‘‘*‘Jacks‘‘ and *‘‘‘Tommies,‘‘ who hear their own surnames so seldom that they have to stop to think to rememâ€" ber those last names themselves. That is the way of the North Land. They know MEN here all right, but they care not long on NAMES, esâ€" pecially long names.

On the contrary there is every proof of the gallantry and manhood of the men of the North who were often known by familiar names that sometimes lacked the sanctimonious dignity of the south. In any event, it may be stated as a fact that the nickname really proves an unusual amount of popularity and individuality. In the early days, particularly, the man with the nickname, and perhaps unknown by any other name, was the man of unusual character and outstanding ability. The honor roll of the nickâ€" named men of the North in war and peace is one that is worthy of all inâ€" terest and all pride.
