Puff, Purr, Bang.

The growth of new words in our ex-
isting languages is the safest guide to
the origin of language in general.
Such new words are continually arising
from day to day in our midst. Just at
first they are usually initiative or ono
matopoeic, and more or less inarticu-
late. They are deficient in vowels.
The steam engine seems to say to us,
Pr, pf, p'f;" the cat seems to say to
us, "P'rrr, prrr, p'rrr;" the sound of a
cannon ball, as il strikes the ground,
we represent by "Th'd;'' the sound of a
gun we represent by "B'ng." But when
we come to use these sounds Familiarity
as parts of language we soon grow to
vocalize them. We say puff, puff, puff;
purr, thud, bang. In proportion as we
use such words in composition do they
become more and more articulate and
less and less onomatopoeic, while at
the same time they tend to become
widened and conventionalized in mean
ing. AT last, when we talk of whizzing
wheels, of banging door, of giving a
friend a puff ia the papers, or of dex-
terously booming a new invention, we
have almost lost sight of onomatopoeia
altogether. Even when we remark that
the cat purrs, or that we distinctly
heard loud thud at a distance, we
are scarcely conscious of the initiative

1t used to be told of Gen. Logan, who
was a member of congress at the break
ing out of the war, that when he saw
there was really going to be fight he
seized musket, slipped out of Wash
ington and walked all the way to Bull
Run, where he arrived just in time to
have hand in the fray.
He wore dress coat, but he stood
his ground as long as anyone. The
rout was complete, and the next morn
ing, a good deal out of breath, he was
back at the capital, telling some of his
fellow congressman what he had seen.
"Who gave you this account of the
fght?" asked member from northern
New York, as he joined the group.
"Why, / was there myself" said
Logan.
The New Yorker was mystified. Ap-
parently he had not heard the news.
"You We're there?" he exclaimed.
"Are the cars runningP'

running, but every other thing in the

THE NEW RECRUIT.

The Boys of the Battery Had Fun with
Him-For n Short Time.
He Joined our battery during the
winter of 1894, while were stationed
at Martinsburg, Va. cannot remem-
ber his name, and should not mention
it If / could. He was born about nine
teen years earlier, somewhere in the
interior of Penn's woods. In height
he was about five feet ten, and would
have tipped the scales at about one
hundred and eighty. His face was as
smooth as that of a maiden of sixteen;
and his complexion was that healthy
flush of red and white which is SO fair
to look upon. His hair was 1aXen, and
his eyes were heavens own blue. He
seemed not to be lacking in ordinary
good sense, though utter simplicity
and credulity, together with unmiti-
gated verdure, were stamped upon
countenance which bore not the
slightest mark of either viciousness or
dissipation.
OF course the boys played all the
stock jokes on him, such as sending
him to the quartermaster to get his
pillow, and to the commissary after
butter and to the captain for fur
lough, and he always joined heartily
| in the laugh that was raised at his ex-
pense, and never evinced the smallest
sign of resentment.
So things went on for week or
more until one day the boys got him
over to the suffers tent, and induced
him to buy several bottles of brandy
peaches with which to treat them.
Made pugnacious by their stimulating
effect, they began to handle the new
recruit little too roughly, and here
they made q mistake, for everyone that
he laid hands on was out of the fight
in very short time.
Some one ran over to the quarters in
great haste to get Long Tom" the
bully of the battery, to come over and
clean out the new recruit. Long
Tom" was n great, brawny six-footer
of corresponding breadth and all bone
and muscle. He had fist like Simon
Legree, and was always spelling for q
fight. He came with great alacrity
and, without any preliminary sparring
planted q sledge-hammer blow full or
the left cheek of the recruit ltseemeC
to produce about the same result that
it would to strike feather bed. Tho
boy turned and grappled his new as
sailant, hurled him to the ground, and
getting on top of him, proceeded in {
most unscientific manner to maui ant

BAD ROADS EXPENSIVE.
They Entail Heavy Annual Tax on the
Farmers of America,


Before the farmers of Ohio can be
induced to girdle the state with pixies
that will cost from three to five thou
sand dollars per mile, they must be as
sured that it will pay in dollars and
cents the men who bear the burdens of
taxation. That it will do so there is
no reasonable doubt in the minds of
thoughtful men, provided honest and
capable workmen are employed, es-
pecially if the farmers can work out
their own share with teams at dull
seasons of the year. fFf
Right thinking people are agreed
that the heaviest tax the farmers pay
is the tax of bad roads, Aside from
the discomfort which they cause, bad
roads are an insuperable bar to social
and commercial intercourse, and sub
iect the farmer to enforced idleness at
a season of the year when much neces-
sary hauling could be done that would
greatly relieve the press of work at
seed time and harvest. With good
roads, farm work need not be crowded
into brief eight months, but could be
distributed over the entire year. With
good roads farmer would be in posi-
tion to take advantage of an advance
in any article of produce which, under
existing circumstances, he is obliged
to hold until the mud blockade is
lifted. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that the loss farmer sustains by
reason of bad roads-aside from the
discomfort would pay heavy annual
tax for the construction of good roads

d" WHO ARE YOU 2"

PityP No! Mercy? No! Not even an
investigation to prove the truth or
falsity of his statements. Had he been
discovered in camp he might even
have been sent to Washington and
given fair trial, but we had cut
loose from the camp. No trial, no
Jury, no delay. One single man mad
adjud sed him guilty and said that he
must die.
Fall in! Forward, march! Halt"
1t was the firing party coming up
six men and sergeant, who had been
taken from their campfires and their
suppers. AS the sun went down the
moon showed herself, and one could
almost count the leaves on the
branches above.
Forward, march! Column right!
Column left"
THAT way" said the major, as he
pointed to the west and turned on his
heel.
Two of us led the man in advance.
We halted at spot not two hundred
feet from headquarters. The six men
were brought into line, and we stepped
back and left the prisoner alone. Not
a word of protest, not word of en-
treaty, not denial. White-faced, hol-
low-eyed and dumb terror showing in
every line of his face, the man did not
appear to even breathe.
"Order arms! Load! Carry arms!'
The man bent forward as looking at
the soldiers, scarcely ten feet away,
but saw that his look went over and
beyond them.
Sure work, now! Aim
The next order would have sent the
bullets crashing into his breast, but it
was not given. Just as the word
trembled on the sergeants lips the man
threw up his hands and fell at full
length on his back.
"Dead?" queried the sergeant.
Eyes, dead" replied the surgeon
who had been summoned.
'What killed him?"
"Terror! Get spades and bury himr
Three spades-three soldiers-one
grave-a dead man covered in, never
to be heard of again by friend or foe
Ina week no man can point out his
grave.
"Six bullets saved and spy under
the ground" laughed the diggers a.
they returned to their campfires.
