The Kings English.

The correct expression is Kings
English" we nowadays transposine
this to Queens" because a woman
sits on the throne of England. Many
have ascribed it to revision of the
Bible, ordered to be made by King
James. stating in confederation of the
theory the fact that many people OBJ
jected then, as they do to-day, to the
new version on the ground that it con-
tanned many errors, and referred to it
contcmptuously as 1.-THE Kings Eng
lish." Subsequently, it is claimed, this
term came to be used in referring to all
abuses of the English language. l can,
| think, show conclusively that this
theory is erroneous. James /. was
King from 1908 to 1925, but Elizabeth
was Queen from 1858 to 1908, yet we
find the term used by Shakespeare in his
"Merry Wives of Windsor" which was
written during the Elizabethan period,
and, of course, before James was ele.
waited to the throne. In act !, scene 4,
of the play, have named occurs the
words: "Here will be an old abusing
of the Kings English"
am inclined to the belief that the ex.
preston had its origin right there in
Shakspeare's day.-Bystander in Phila.

Those Little RedsT0p Boots.

Those dear little red-top boots! exclaims a
writer Id the Shoe and Leather Re,fem Do
you remember them-the first pair you worel
You can close your eyes and see them again
stiff and black aud heavy-soled. And what
points Of beauty in your eyes are those red
tops and bright copper toesl The memory of
them brings you back to that period in your
life where infancy passed into boyhood, and
where dreams came to you of being big man.
They marked the beginning of your indie
pendence, of your strength, of your recogni-
ton as one Of earth's creatures. Better far,
they brought surcease of ridicule, so CALLING
TO boys pride, for they came with pants and
short hair, in place of dresses and curls. How
often have you gone sobbing to your mother,
your heart full of grief and modification, be-
cause bigger boy had pulled your hair and
called you girl! The changes came all at
once. Mother made the pants, and one even
ing she brought home the red-top boots. Then
she put the scissors into your soft curls, cut
them oil, kissed them, and laid them away
She was sorry to see the baby become a boy;
but how your soul swelled! How you longcd
for the morning, that you might wear them
How joyfully you cried out to little Billy
Dio"h' aetoso Iho stieet, Ihat YOU nau pants
and bootsm And Billy probably answered,
sullenly: ~ don't care" while all the time
he was filled with envy.
How changed was your spirit after this!
You were no longer shy; you no longer played
with the little girls. You stuffed the pockets
of your pants full of strings and nails, and
was imbued with a desire to fight and throw
stones. You waded bravelv in the puddlcs,
and proudly assured the other boys that the
boots didn't leak a Bit"
Dear little boots! We revere your memory.
You are to the boy what the sweetheart is to
the youth; what the bride is to the man. Who
would not turn back the wheel of time and
again embrace you

Travel in Florida.

1t was easy to come to De Land, and
it had not occurred to us but that it
might be equally easy to leave it, when
once one had decided to 90. 1t is true
that things are not managed here Just
as they are in some other places, Not
long ago two gentlemen stopping at
hotel near us had resolved upon leaving
here upon the early train which is cur
rently supposed to meet the early boat
going up the river. When they reach
ed the station they found the fireman
asleep, and the engineer-I know not
where. This drowsy officer was arous-
ed and persuaded to ''get up steam"
Now, this is not the operation of a mo-
ment, and it was half an hour before the
engine was ready to start. When they
reached the landing the boat had been
and gone. Everybody save the
strangers was perfectly placid over this
circumstance. What if the boat had
gone? In the course of time another
would come up the river.
1t may be that like circumstance
will not so readily occur now that there
is a railroad to which one can flee in
such disappointment. When we had
set the time to depart, we remembered
this incident, and said we would make
sure. We chose the night boat, and the
train had started heretofore at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon. The station agent.
on being questioned, appeared surpris-
ed, and said he didn't know what flme
The train would start the next dav.
P'r'aps we had better come down to-
morrow and see." This seemed mex
plicable to us, but we had to make the
best OF the oracle. The next day we
went and inquired what time we should
come down in the afternoon, so that we
need not miss the connection with the
boat. The man looked up in startled
and dazed way, and then remarked
that "he did not know; he reckoned
about g."
NO" spoke up another man who
was present, 'if you are here at 6, it
will be ample time;' then, making an
other calculation. "half-past will do"
So we were, in measure, left to
select our own time, and naturally we
selected it so early that we waited an
hour and a half at the station. The cars
started Z, and the boat had been wait
ing long time for us. This arrange
ment is inscrutable. We stop thinking
Of it, with the conclusion that it is I'M
necessary for us to understand every
thing, and 1 challenge anybody to
fathom the mysteries of the complica-
tons here, Cor. Mew York EUeninq

The NeWspaper-Man.

What Is the use of racking our brains
For something new and spsendld to say
| About the snow, Or about the rain,
Or about the night and day
| Politics, style, and crime, and such
A nations rise, or nations fall;
Whether llttle--or whether much,
When the newspaper-man can say II ALI
The man SO nervous 80 slight, and thin,
With the sharp bright eyes, and face 80
white
And feeting smile, that your heart will win,
Whose word can fill you with keen delight
The man who is sparse in earthly gold,
But whose mind is cleaning, endless store
OF gems that never were bought or sold
BY dealers Ia precious ORE
So Wen wear our jewels and frills of lace,
And pose with grace at the play, OR ball.
For why should thinking fret face,
When the newspaper-man can think for alll
There, in his sanctum, dusty and dim,
With his wonderful boots, and his grimy
hands
While time is dragging with visage grim,
lie wsnders In minutes, thro many LAMBS.
And maybe glance at Persisn-gir
With dropping vail and dreamy smile,
And anklets of gold and pearl.
Or graceful curve, and he welds his pen
To the latest match of the heavy-weight;
Or the newspaper man If at it again,
And mentions our peoples degenerate state
Then why should we bother'-A penny will
buy
"rhe hearts best wine of the newspaper
man;
Why shouldn't we chatter, and shipper, and
sigh,
And be stupidly-gay, in society's want
And If the newspaper should drop,
Wen never mind, for another will rise
From the mystic-land where the wondrous
crop
OF poets and sages, materialse,
And mayhap, some time, when the roses
bloom,
Wen thoughtfully gather dainty spray,
And carry 1t up to the den Of gloom,
Where he thinks for us, day after day;
And hides the fact from our gloomy stare,
That our brains are such inanimate things;
Who saves our souls from grim Despair
When he beholds bright Hope take wings.
Who paints Heaven that's not too dry,
And even his hell" isn't slow or drear;
For the newspaper-man can never lie
And his soul is unacquainted with fear.
Then drink health to our staff of thought
To the beaCon-lght of our stumbling clan
That his life may be with blessings fraught,
The uphill lot of the newspaper-man.

The Craze for Names

With the most part of Thackeray's
early work there was no choice of sign
ing his name. In those days neither
editors nor the public had that I'm
reasoning craze for names which ap-
parently possesses them to-day.
Words, words, words" said Hamlet,
when asked what he was reading;
'names, names, names, Names" he
might answer to-day. For really to-
day, at any rate with our periodical
literature, whether it is to be called
journalism or not, there seems not only
to be much virtue in a name, but every
virtue. BY journalism one generally
understands the current literature Of
the daily papers, and the idea of lifting
the veil OF secrecy-already thin enough
in all conscience-which surrounds the
workers in this busy and important field.
Is to us, we frankly own, an appalling
one. Such a custom would not only, it
seems to us, cruelty hamper the work
mans hands, but would also open ter
ribly wide door to those sweet influences,
so dangerous to meet, so hard to resist,
which are ever on the watch to guide
the bolts of Jove. Some rude men of
the baser sort there have been to assert
that this door is even now not kept so
jealousy shut as it should be; but this
is, of course, libel Paris, however,
can furnish some idea of the result of
throwing open the shrines of journalism
to the profane crowd. There the pa
pers, some of them at least, bristle
with names; there certainly publicity
does not always impose that check on
rash and inconvenient writing which its
votaries claim for its prime virtue;
while there, unless truth in her passage
over the channel suffers a sea change
indeed, those sweet influences we spoke
of are most undisguisedly rampant,

Janitor King, of the Virginia City

and put it in his overcoat pocket, and
afterward laid the coat down for time.
Then he put it on and went to saloon,
where he played cards for the drinks.
He noticed, as he thought, that Tom
Gracey, who was looking on, nudged
him very often as signal how to play
his cards. He lost, and accused Gracey
of misleading him. While Gracey was
denying that he had touched him big
rat jumped out of Kings pocket. He
had been feastiug on the cheese and

''How fresh everything seems tonight"
