WHERE DIALECT RUNS WilU
Specimen of the Argot in Use Among Au
 tralian Sheep Shearers.

Specimen of the Argot in Use Among Aus
 tra1ian Sheep Shearers.
 II the specimen of Australian dialect which Gilbert Parker gives in the Idler is a fair sample of what we may expect when dialect writers begin to work up that country, we have not yet seen the worst. Here is little story which reads like a missing word puzzle or cipher telegram: ''Tell ye low it was. I toddles off to the shed, pulls down me tongs, 'auls out bloomin' papillion, and was goin' down the whippin' side, both blades 'eavily load ed, wen the boss drops and shot me dead. I takes 'op skip an jump back to the ut, put two folds in the old shirallee, slings the 'og 'ide on the tall crocodile, goes up the river like frog, sits down along sleepy Jim's muster and strips hundred and forty by four o'clock next" And here is the inter- pretation which Mir. Parker is kind enough to furnish us:
 ''This is how it happened: walked off to the shearing shed, took down my shears, hauled out sheep, and I was clipping down the right-hand side with all my might, when manager came and discharged me. I went back to the hut, folded up my blanket, put the sad dle on my horse, galloped up the river, stopped at Sleepy Jim's sheep pen and shore a hundred and forty by four r,'a1Ca7- -7c--+ dow"
