1ha r,s Of the Word "Ain,t."

1t would be immense relief if that
dreadful AmeIicanism, "ain't could
be given a rest for all eternity.
You hear it so frequently. The few
exceptions among well educated peo-
pie scarcely make an impression
with an observer on the lookout for
the phrase. 1t is surprising how
easily a fault in speech may be ac-
quired by the ear, but in this part OF
the world, where our public schools
are believed to really educate, it is
as common to hear grammatical
errors as in localities less intellectu-
ally favored. Il amt, you amt, he

pleasant conjugation of what verbi

"Oh, amt had half of the party ~
is another from younger lips, and
the nice looking car conductor scares
the life out of you by halloing: Wait

yeti" Purists will take no offense
at this abuse of grammar if it saves
their necks, but if any one would
keep watch over his tongue as well
and note the ain'ts that now affiict
the American language that offensive
and meaningless contraction and ne
cation would be abolished, and even
the primarily educated masses might
say what they mean.-Kansas City

The Near Sighted Professor.

Professor Wise is an absentminded
man, yet so thoroughly genial and
unaffected in his absentmindedness
that it never occurs to any one to
take ofense at it.
1t so happened that the professor
arrived late one winters afternoon
in small western town, intent up
on visiting an old college chum whom
ne had not seen for many years. Ar
irving at the house he was shown i'm
mediately to his room, where he pre-
pared himself for dinner before meet
ing his host family.
When the various stains of travel
were removed, he descended. The
drawing room door was open, but
the lights were not yet lighted A
bright fire was burning in the CRATE.
and somebody's head was lust yisi.
BILE over the top of a big chair in
front of it. The professor is a bit
near sighted, but he could see that
there was some one in the chair So
ne tlptoed softly up behind it and
patted the occupant on the head
Hello" he said. Warming up
your shins as you used to do"
And then his old chum's wife
whom he had never met before, rose
out OF the chair to greet him.-Bos-
ton Budget.

Astounding Ignorance.

At an inquest held at Bilston ON
the body of an aged paralyzed wom-
an, who was burned to death while
left alone in her house, it was stated
tnat when the neighbors discovered
her enveloped in flames and in front
OF the hre they made no effort 10
move her or extinguish the FIRE. as
tney thought they had no right 10 do
so until policemen arrived. The cor
oner severely condemned such nom
sensicai views and instanced another
case OF ignorance where the life of
a man who hanged himself might
nave been saved If he had been cut
down when first observed. A verdict
1t o. accidental death was returned.

CHICAGO. July 20-Wheat continued It's
decline today, Influenced largely By the
favorable weather and weak outside mar
kets. September closed sc lower; Sep
tember corn and oats closed unchanged,
and provisions slightly lower. Wheat
was dull. Opening trades were at I4@skc
decline, and gradually sold down 40 4
more; rallied ss4tz; eased off \; changed
some and closed steady. The general
tone vas easier, and prices from the start
ranged lower, influenced BY rains IN the
Northwest and cooler weather, the weak
ness displayed at the outside markets and
the rather easier tone of cables There
was rally later on, influenced some by
the review at New York, aud the report of
exports at that point The market eased
off again after rally on the report that
wheat was TO be shipped here from En-
gland. Corn was easier for the new crop
futures, while the near deliveries were
rather firm. The easier tone was attributed
entirely to the rains and showers over the
cotton belt. Owing to the small movement
and moderate stocks. the near futures ruled
quite firm. The range for September was
&C. The feature in oats was the advance
of &C In July without trade, and the re-
action Of fc. The market was steady on
scarce offerings. with q range of &c for
September. Provisions were lower on live
hog receipts and offerings by packers
The market frmed up near the close on
some buying. Compared with last night
