iersman. but in truth it is the most difficult
of all styles of composition and only those
who are thorough linguists are able to do it
successfully. 1t is much easier to write
pure English than it is to correctly repre-
sent in writing the peculiar sentences and
pronunciation of an old plantation darby.
Only few writers are gifted with that fac.
ulty. Many very illiterate persons are good
oral mimickers, but they are never able to
produce their counterfeits in writing. So
we advise those who are not masters of the
art of writing good English to not attempt d.
alect compositions-at least, not until they
find some one capable of properly editing
their matter. We cheerfully acknowledge
that we have not yet attained such felicity
in the use of the English language that we
may use it in jugglery.
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1891-08-27

Is it not almost crime to send an eleven
year old boy to the workhouse for vagrancy?
1t is equivalent to making a criminal of
him. The Journal gives an account of a
homeless eleven year old boy having just
been released from the Minneapolis work.
house. He came from the country-where
he had been held as bound boy--to the
city to find if possible his parents. He was
picked up as a vagrant and run through the
police mill and came out with ten days
sentence for the ''crime" of being without
visible means of support. No doubt but
that boy found kinder friends among
the inmates than he found among the good
people out of prison. The officers of the
wOrkhouse were probably kinder to him
than his country master had ever been.
That boy. if he is like most boys, left the
prison with more liking for those he left
behind than for those whom he was going
among. The paper says he is bright boy
The danger of his growing up a criminal
lays in that fact of his being bright. If he
were dullard the experience OF such treat
ment would not have much influence upon
him, but being bright he has sensibilities
that feel the injustice. Such boys are easily
trained into criminals, and the most effect
i've course of training is that practiced by
the Minneapolis court.

Major McClaughry is after them. and the
notorious police sweat box will have to go
west. 1t has long been saying that when
a man fell into the power. OF the Chicago
police he was beyond the pale of the law.
And such was virtually true, unless he had
friends with pull" They might keep
him in the sweat box for weeks without
bringing him before court or allowing him
to see lawyer or send word to friend.
They could and did apply tortures to extort
confessions, and do what they might to a
prisoner were he ever so innocent there
was no redress. The new superintendent
of police. Major R. w. McClaughry. has de-
cided to put an end to this high handed and
barbarous work.

JUGGLING LANGUAGE.

For purpose we wish to confess that we
are not an accomplished linguist and that
we are not familiar with the orthography of
the many brogues and local dialects. Besides
an ordinary understanding of English, we
are moderately familiar with Indiana, Mis-
souri,, Arkansas and several of the other
American languages. We once had little
smattering of Choctaw, but before we had
learned little more than the sign for drink
of fire. water our teacher was hanged for
horse stealing. This incident led us to re.
fleet that little learning being such dan
gerous thing it was time for US to stop; so
here our classical education came to an end.
Now, as we have unburdened by full con-
fession, we will state its purpose. AS ed
itor it is our duty to prepare for the press
all manuscripts that come to the office.
Ordinarily this is not difficult work when the
writers cOnfne themselves to the style of
English commonly spoken in the present
day. and that is the kind our contributors
usually write. But frequently there are
things come to our table that are not En-.
glish nor br0gue nor dialect nor anything
by any known name. We may call the
Language" conglomeration of the brogues
of all foreign tongues and the colloquialisms
of all localities, trades and professions.
Please tell us what poor fellow with
limited knowledge of the languages is to DO
with such manuscript. Throw it into the
waste. basket? Yes; and if we were suffer
ing with the toothache you would advise US
in like unfeeling way to Ego and have it
jerked out" 1t IS not your tooth that aches.
No, we will not throw it in the waste
basket. at least not yet awhile, for it is a
diamond in the rough and with patience
perhaps we can polish it up. After work
ing on it for many weary hours we will pub
lsh it anyhow; then some facetious critic
will look at us sidewiSe and begin: "Say,
that was fine thing in dialect Waggles had
in the paper last week. Say, wish you ID
ask Waggles from what part of Sweden his
Irish character came and whether his darkv
is Corkonian or Rotterdam Dutchman."
That is a mean way he has of telling the
editor that he does not know how to perform
the duties of an editor. He is doing right
as reader, in criticising US, for we did
wrong in offending his sense of propriety.
We have grown very timid about printing
dialect pieces, for it was only recently that
the literary journals were publishing some
merciless criticisms of the alleged dialect
writer's. Many suppose that it is an easy

The following bit OF wisdom that appear

ship, but had the proper credit attached to
it. The credit given was "Simeon." Who
Simeon was we are unable to discover un-
less he is the Simeon of the Bible who was
the second son of Jacob by Leah. There was
an English historian by the name of Symeon
who lived in the latter part of the eleventh
century who may be the author. We should
not notice the error if it were not that the
paragraphs are accompanied by a very fiat
tering comment upon the wisdom of the
supposed convict author. This is the quo.
