CooKNEYIsMs.
How the Queens English is SlauRh-
tered by Certain of Her Subjects.
From the CT lanes Gazette

1t is a canon of belief with many per-
sons that the coclIney leaves out the let
ter ''h" where you and / put it in, and
that he puts it in where we leave it out.
1t is true that now and again the aspirate
is scattered Unfortunately and bewil-
deringly, but as rule it is laZily ignored
The cockney invariably drops the final
''g, " and he is given to run one word into
Gnother, wherein he all unknowingly
apes the example of his betters, the ex-
ample of the needless smart who in
lazy slipshod English could barely afford
to give him points. Note how perilously
close are the renderings of ibid you have
much fun2p Smart: "Djoo av much fun p"
Cockney: "Jev much fun2" Adverbs he
persists in turning into adjectives; Ibid
you have the face ache badly?" he will
render, 'Jev the jaw-rike bed2" Under
other circumstances he will turn face"
into "head." II towld i'm so to lis ed
A collection of such perversions might
prove entertaining.
With the coyneyest of coclzneys such a
word as much" becomes ''metch"-''Ow
metch is itl" Here is a sentence noted at
the time in a crush of people coming away
from show where the sports had been
signaled by gun firing. Mother: "Wozh
yer frahtened wen e fahd the gene"
Child ''Now, ali lahaked it."
To hear cockney we must go to the
streets or mix with the careless pleasure
bent masses on bank holiday. And we
must listen heedfully, for peculiarities
in people with whom one is more or less
constantly in contact are apt to remain
unnoticed. When 'Erry Jowns" talks Of
his unmarried sister as Jemims Wren
one may be forgiven If 1t dawn but slowly
that the lads name is Jemima Jones and
that Wren stands for Ann. A country
cousin will return from a ramble in Lon
don streets full Of establishment and bub-
bling over with choice specimens of cock
ney vernacular, whereupon he drives in
nocent and lasting amusement.
Show an average cockney some pho
netically rendered cockneyisms on paper,
and he will tell you that no one speaks
like that. but the exact form Of disclaim-
er will probably be: Nobody down't
sneak like thetn

SHE WAS ApsENT-mINpEp.
How Hannah Adams Fell On the
Horse and Did Not Know 1t.
From the Boston Journal.

The recent celebration of "Forefathers'
Day" at Medfeld, Mass, was an event of
more than local interest. MIR. Hezekiah
Butterworth, talking about it, spoke of
that old town, its landmarks, and what it
stood for. Then he said he had learned
in connection with that of one of the fun
NEST things he ever heard of. LAS a case
of Observation-Disclosures it was very, very
funny" he said. Hannah Adams was
the first female writer TO receive recog-
milton in this country. Her home was in
Medfield, and her body was the first to be
buried at Mount Auburn
1T was customary then to ride horse
back TO. church. Hannah used to ride
with her father, on pillion behind him,
on the same horse 1t happened one Sun
day. on the way to church, she fell off,
pillion and all. He did not notice it, nor,
indeed, until at the church steps he would
have helped her alight. Alarmeds he rode
rapidly back, afraid she must have been
seriously hurt, not to have called to him
when she fell. And do you know" went
on Mr.. Butterworth, laughing heartily,
"do you know he found her seated on the
pillion in the middle of the dusty path,
and until he came up to her she was to-
tally obliyious to the fact that she was
not seated, as usual, behind her father on
the old horse on the way to church.
That's one of the worst instances of alb
sent-mindedness L ever heard. / suppose
Hannah was busy writing another book
in her mind while sitting there on the
piilion in the dust.n

How 1t Came to Be Loaded.
From the Daily Eastern Argus.

There was sad fatality on the cape
the other day that ought to point moral.
on a cunning trip, one having double
barrel shotgun, the other a single-barrell
gun and small dog, which he valued
very highly After they had been tray
cling around for some time they came to
a halt, and were discussing the relative
Ioudness Of the reports Of the respective
weapons. Finally they started TO try 1t
by firing together.
The fellow with the double-barrel gun
thought that two barrels would beat one,
so he pulled both triggers together only
one barrel went OF, however, although he
did not know it.
minute he recapped both barrels
and pointed the gun at the dog IN Jun,
saying, wonder what he'd do if should
fire iti'' The idea was put into execu-

ror. the dogs head was blown entirely TO
pieces by the charge Of shot with which
he "dind't know it was loaded"

Coveted Coins.

There lives at Rising Fawn, Ga, a ne,
gro 76 years of age who has under his
tongue Il silver quarter which he has car
ricd in that place for 36 years without ever
having removed it. His name is Thomas
jackson, and he has nephew whose name
is George Jackson. George Jackson has
under has tongue a silver half dollar that
he has carried for the same length of time
as his uncle without ever removing it.
These two negroes were slaves of a
wealthy holder named Jackson, and it was
during those days that these coveted coins
were placed where they now remain. They
were given the coins one Sunday afternoon
by couple of old time sports who were
courting at tho jackson family. For fear
that their master would relieve them OF
the coins they were placed where they
now are and have been kept in thhe same
place because Of supcrStitious belief.
With the exception OF being somewhat
worn and darkcucd around the edges they
look like any old silver piece. Large sums
of money have been offered for these pieces
as souvenirs, but nothing will induce their
owners TO sell them.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
