Slovonly Words From Pretty Mouths


You've all heard the fairy story about
the pretty little girl whose beauty was
spoiled when she spoke, for ont Of her
mouth jumped with every word frogs,
toads, lizards and all sorts Of disagree
able things.
Do you know, asks the New York
Times, that there are pretty girls now.
and fine, manly looking boys, who are
almost rs disagreeable when they begin
TO speak rs that girl in the fairy story?
1t is because they talk carelessly and
instead of clear, well spoken words,
properly pronounced and grammatically
phrased, they let all sorts Of slovenly
speech slip through their lips.
Listen to what ono household is doing
to better the faulty English of its mem
bers. Each one who is detected by an
othcr in slip Of speech is fined on
sliding scale from 10 cents apiece for
the parents to 1 cent for five plumbers
in the youngest child. Tile money goes
into the fresh air bank. These are some
of the poor tortured words that have
been paid for. They are spelled here as
they were pronounced, and it viii be a
good exercise for you to go over them
and see how many Of them you would
have pronounced in the same way:

hens early in the spring-then you won t

Pa don't think much Of hens. He
saws they are too conceited. From the
way the hen cackles you would think
that instead of an egg she had laid the
foundations Of six story brick build

The hen with the loudest cackle don't
always lay the largest egg. Here is a
little poem on hens cackling:

it seems to me very funny:
There was a young lady in Worcester
Who was chased by big Shanghai rocester.
So frightened was she
That she Skinned up tree.

Let me tell you hen story pa heard
one day. A young lady who moved from
the city into a country home considered
it pleasant duty to keep hens, and she
TALKED a great deal about them. One
day friend inquired, "Are your hens
good hens?" "Oh, yes, indeed" said
she in delighted tone; "they haven't
laid bad egg yet. "

Sporting Life: One reason why so
many young pitchers are wild is that
they never practice pitching over a plate
except when in the game. and as most OF
the boys pitch less than game each
week the work they get with the rubber
is not sufficient to keep them tuned up 10
concert pitch. No pitcher should work in
practice at less than the regulation dix
o lance Or without something to throw
