a guide, ''the west has lost its romance. Only
little while ago, it seems to me, where onca
there was nothing but the whoop of the In

there are railroads and churches and com
mercial men and high schools and three-card-
monte men and lecturers and daily news

Why, within two months, if the blasted
papers tell the truth, several men have died

as though us old-timers would have to move

Odd Things the Deaf and Dumb
Learn.
TPOstrDispatch.1 I

A very curious thing about deaf mutes is
the rapidity with which they learn the mean
ing and the use Of slang words and phrases.
The ordinary street language of the day
seems to be every bit as familiar to them as
it is to people whose organs of hearing are
not impaired, and they will say, in their own
way, "You bet your boots!" or, "You bet
your sweet life!' with as much ease and grace
as if they had had it at their tongues end all
their lives. One of the afflicted young men
whom I asked for an explanation of this re-
markable fact said the deaf mutes got their
knowledge of slang from the newspapers,
that they were great readers Of the papers,
and snapped up new phrase or word just
the moment it made it appearance. They
not only use slang in writing, but also in
their sign language
