Slang In Stories.

Though many dialect stories may have
been of use, as preserving TO the student of
language the speech of different localities,
many of them are very unfair, as we of
New England can see in the sketches of
our own country people. where wise and
unwise, learned and ignorant, are repre-
sented as invariably ungrammatical, and
dropping the final "g" profusely.
Writers err also in not adapting the style
of their ''sipshod language" to the period
of the story. A lady, commenting on a
certain Juvenile" of the events of 1910,
says: ''There is slang in that story which,
am sure, is not more than ten years old.
remember 1910 WE'LL lived at home in
house full of noisy brothers. l went to
school, and l was familiar with the chill
dren'S phrases popular at the time, and
these l am confident are of a far more
modern date"
Such subject is worth the attention of
antiquaries; every age and generation has
its own phrases. When this century was
in its teens did girls say persons and things
were "just lovely?" Did boys tell about
having "a regular blowout"
Attention to such points makes a story
Ito use phrase of Sir Walter Scott look
much better in the face" and without such
care story is of little use as a portraiture
of the past. For evidence, however, that
slang ancient or modern, is not essential
70 success, see those perfect specimens Of
children's stories, the "Bodley Books. H.

respondence than the president, for un-
less there is clause in the constitution
of the state expressly prescribing some
other mode of address, it IS correct to
call him "Excellency."
The democratic spirit Of some states
has interfered to prevent this, and it has
been prescribed that the governor re-
ceive some simpler title, but there are
only two or three Of these states. As
general thing the rule can be laid down
that the governor of a state should be
addressed "Your Excellency." To begin
letter to the president In the same way
is to establish an equality between the
two executives that does not exist.
Another frequent mistake is made by
those who begin their letters to the
president, Your Honor" His honor is
the presiding judge of a court, or usually
the mayer of city. Some men, from
constant associations with courts Of jus
tice, come to regard the judge as the
highest and mightiest individual on
earth, and they can conceive of no great
er distinction 10 be conferred on the
president than tocsll him "Your Honor"
To cut long matter short, let the cor
rect form for addressing the president be
given. is simply this. benjamin Har-
rison, president Of the United States,

THREE KISSES.

He Didn't Get the Last One, but Had o.
Pay for It.
Margot was q rather good lookine
waitress in the little inn where Skulkorn
was passing the summer. Many a jest
had passed between them, and hun
bred nonsensical wagers made that event
usted in nothing.
On this occasion, however, there were
a lot of his old cronies present dining
with him, and in a spirit Of fun he said;
"Msrgct, if you let yourself be kissed
three times I'll give you thousand
francs"
Now, as Skulkorn was old enough to
be her grandfather, and as the only rea-
son why she and her chosen sweetheart,
Pierre Bluette, were not welded was the
want of means, after depressing the first
impulse of natural indignation she quiet.
ly came over to his side with the simple
remark:
''Al right, l agree"
Her ready acceptance of the proposal
was met by loud shouts of laughter on
the part of his companions, and if he
were not in earnest in the first place it
was now too late to draw back. Ac-
cordingly, calling the attention of his
friends to the conditions of the bargain,
he located two hearty and artistic kisses
on the lips of the blushing maiden.
Then sitting down with an air of con.
tent he continued:
When you give me the third, Margot,
you shall have the thousand francs"
I'm ready now" was her answer.
"Oh. but you see Pm not" he hastily
added, and the character of the fraud
gradually stole over the minds of all
present.
"Then give me the thousand francs"
"Oh, no; not till the third kiss is
taken"
Margot had more the air of being en-
barrassed than she really was. Making
suitable changes in her toilet she went
to the local court then in session. The
pretty waitress was known and respected
by all, so that she easily obtained a
hearing from the judge.
Her recital ended, that functionary
issued a warrant for Skulkorn, who duly
appeared
The conditions of this wager were
that if she allowed herself to be kissed
three times you were to give her a thou
sand francs? You have already kissed
her twice?"
Skulkorn smilingly and confidently
admitted the truth of both propositions.
Very good" commented the limb of
the law. "Margot, step this way"
The girl did so, and his honor, coming
down from the bench, said:
"Have you any objections to my salut-
ing your"
The maid returned no reply and the
judge, taking silence for consent, put
his arm about her waist and judiciously,
as was but proper under the double COM
bination of circumstances, kissed her.
And now" he announced, shaking
himself like lion refreshed, "that is the
third kiss established in due legal form
You have, Margot, in accordance with
the agreement, given three Kisses; con-
sequently monsieur will pay you over
the thousand francs"
1t was hard perhaps, but Just, and as
he laid down the cash Skulkorn had a
powerful impression that while stolen
fruit might be the s Seetest, it was doubt
full whether it was altogether worth its
price.-Pniladelphia Times.

MR.. PRESIDENT, ONLY.
BUT ONE FORM OF ADDRESS FOB
THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE.

He Is Not "Your Exce11ency." Nor "YouI
Honor''-Neither Is He to Be Written
to as Dear Sir"-PIain Mr. President
Is Sufhcient-why 1t Was So Decreed.
If you ask a presidents private secre-
tary he will tell you. among other
things, that not one person out of ten in
writing to the president addresses him
properly. Each correspondent seems to
follow his own sweet fancy. Thus the
man who writes and asks for pension
or an Office on the ground that he served
in the war is apt to begin his letter,
Dear General" and after having told
his wants he signs himself, yours fra
ternally."
This is pretty familiar. The president
isn't general, except in that he is com
mander in chief Of the army, and as foT
all men being brothers, it is true as a
theory, but is hardly correct on all occa-
sions as practice. II the letter from
the old army man is answered, as nearly
all letters are, the writer is addressed
with due formality as Sir" and not as
Dear Comrade" This ought to be a
sufficient hint to him to keep his dis
lance, but it is not, and a week later he
bobs up serenely with another long com
munication TO his Dear General"
There are number Of his correspond
ents who wish to be very formal and
respectful, and they always call him
"Excellency" 1t sounds SO big, Is such
a pleasing mouthful, that many people
who ought TO know better cannot resist
the temptation Of using this form. AS
between such an expression as Dear
General" and Your Exceilency" the
former is preferable, for there is no law
against it, while there certainly Is an
unwritten law against the latter.
When the constitution was formed
there was great deal Of discussion as
to the form Of address that should be
applied 70 the president Some people
thought he should be addressed ''Excsl-
iency," others would be satisfied with
Your Highness,7 while still others
thought he should be called Majesty.
The New Workers who bore in mind the
days of the Dutch republic wanted the
head Of this republic called Ibis High
Mightiness.'
