Laws Of Language,

Imagine writer-perhsps a poet
at least standing on the
highest attainable point OF the mount
that he has been climbing, grasping at
an idea far above, rapidly floating past
him.
Words! words!" he cries. "give
me words, and I will make wings and
reach it yet"
Here are words of all Sorts" says q
pedant, producing huge dictionary.
Tell me what kind you want, and I
will pick out the proper ones. But !
don't believe you can reach that idea
anyhow. You will break your neck,
trying" ....
The impatient poet who knows that
he will never reach 1t II he waits,
catches up some refuse words lying
near him which have been rejected as
unfit to make foot bridge over small
creek, twists them into pair Of rude
wings, dashes from his cliff seizes the
idea in mid air. aud brings Il safe 10
earth. ........
The whole world admirss the idea;
but, BLESS met cries the pedsnt,
"what wings! They are overweight
ed, badly, balanced. and barely hang
together ....
Il know that better than you do
replied the genius, land would advise
no one to risk his neck on them; but
would have saved that idea If need
had so required, with wings of lead"
And some conceited ignoramus, who
always did know that pedant was q
fool having lead mine on his premi.
ses, sets up manufactory Of leaden
wings and advertises them, on the ALL
thority Of the genius. as the very best
wings for reaching and catching lofty
ideas.
The moral is that laws Of language
are good things, yet we find passages,
and frequently very grand passages. In
which the laws Of language are set at
naught. Nevertheless laws are laws.
and the writer who will not understand
and obey them, except in the most
emergent cases. deserves to break his
neck or drown--as he probably WILL

The Form Of Introduction Cowboy De-

night. My horse was put in the barn.

of the prairie, and then went into the
hotel There was only one room with
a drygoods box at one end, which served
as a bar, was told that l might bunk
on buffalo robe which lay in the cor
ner. Being very tired, | soon fell asleep,
but in the middle of the night was
awakened by some one kicking me in
the ribs. Get up thar. said gruff
voice. 'What-whats the matterp' |
asked somewhat timidly. 4 want you
to get up and take drink with me,
and be purity quick about it, too, was
the reply. Through the dim light of
smoky Kerosene lamp l could family
see the figure of man, which, with
one look, | knew to be a cowboy But
never drink, my friend, said |. Now
look ahere, stranger, no man ever re-
fuses to drink with me more than once
in his life. he answered. suggcstively

ers. l concluded that discretion was
the better part of valor in this case,
and so without any more ado | rose
and took q drink. When we had in-

wouldn't have 1t. He said he only
wanted to see II thought myself too
good to drink with him, We'll, what

no shootin' irons with me. they being
under the buffalo robe, | saw that ]
