WORDS PEOPLE SPEAK.
The Educated Person Who Talks English
Wen Uses About Two Thousand.


Few people realize how limited are
their vocabularies, despite the many
thousands cf words in the English lam
guage, says the New York Journal
1t is said that person of education
generally gets along very comfortably
with vocabulary of less than 1000
different words. On the other hand,
uneducated people manage to express
their ideas all their lives with the use of
but few hundred words, repeating one
or two of these, however, great many
times.
A recent experiment proves how apt
our minds are to run in grooves. Twen-
ty-five men and 25 women students in
@ psychology class We're hidden TO write
down at full speed 100 words, all chosen
at random. They did so, with the Gu
rious result that out of the total 5000
words there were only 1896 which oc-
CURED but once, 1900 of the remainder
being repetitions of 1853 words. OF the
1906 written only once, TAG were set
down by the men, against 500 by the
women. OF the 353 articles of dress
enumerated, 224 were found in the wom-
ems papers, while of the 237 articles of
food they claimed 179. Clearly they
were not new women or their range
would have been wider. ......

LEAVE THEIR NIGHTGoWNS.
Guests at Hotels Sometimes Forget an
Interesting Garment.

Interesting Garment
There was a wihirr of bells, and the
annunciator behind the desk told the
night clerk something was wanted in
room 3l9. a little black boy darted up
from the bench before the night clerk
could call Front" The boy glanced
at the indicator and plunged upstairs.
In about four minutes he came down
grinning and fronted the night clerk,
says the Chicago Post.
'Well?'
Gent in 80 wants nightgown."
"Well, go get him one"
The darkey's grin vanished and his
eyes were big with surprise. Then the
night clerk told him to. go to the house
Keepers room and get nightgown for
the man.
"Do you keep an assortment of night
dresses for your guests" asked a
boarder who had known the house ten
years.
1--WE don't aim to do it, but we do"
said the night clerk. "You see, about
every day some man leaves his night
gown in his room. Women rarely do
If we know where the man has gone
we let him know he left it, and await
his orders If he is a regular patron
we wash the garment and keep it till
he comes back. But many times. we
know nothing of him beyond what the
register tells us. And so every week we
have about half a dozen gowns left on
our hands.
Convention time always brings a
bundle of them. We must have collect
ed hundred while the democratic con-
yention was in town.
What do we do with them finally
when no owner turns up? Oh, go ask
the housekeerer."

in caring for the sick To give Il medi-
cine improperly compounded or conn
posed of impure drugs is to do one OF
two things which differ only in their
degree of badness and mischevousness.
The patient suffers whether the medi7
cine be wrong or ineffective We
always prepare the exact medicine
called for. by the prescription, make no
mistakes, and use only pure drugs.
The medical profession, therefore, have
only words OF praise for the Union.

WEPT AT SIGHT OF HIS GIRLS. Ex-Governor Sprague Yearned for
 Them Eighteen Years.

New York, Sept. 30-A special dis patch from Wilmington, Del, says:
 ''After separation of nearly eighteen years, caused by divorce pro ceedings, ex-Governor William Sprague of Rhode Island yesterday had pa thetic meeting in Washington with two of his daughters, POrtia and Kitty. When Governor Sprague was divorced from Kate Chase, eighteen years ago, his three daughters, Ethel, Portia and 1. Kitty, were placed in the custody of their mother, whose home Is in Wash ington During the past eighteen years the latter kept a constant vigil on the girls, restraining them from communicating either directly or indi- rectly with their father. or any of his relatives.
 Several weeks ago Portia was ap- pointed to a position in one of the de- partments. and she decided to care for herself. She left her home and took apartments in fashionable boarding house on New Jersey av-
 
 maintain herself without any assist ance from her mother, she concluded that she had a right to write her father and break the long silence be- tween them. Accordingly she wrote him a touching epistle, which reached him at his Narragansett home last week. In her letter Portia fmplOred her father to come and see her.. Yes terday morning the old governor went down to Washington on the noon train. Portia and her sister Kitty were at the station ready to greet him. The meeting between them was af- fecting. Copious tears streamed down thc fathers cheeks as he ca ressed e2ch child.
 -~--,FFhesr pathetic meeting was wit messed by several persons. It took the governor fifteen or twenty min utes to recover, after which he escort ed the girls to Portals home and later presented them to his present wife, Mrs. Inez Sprague. A unique feature of the meeting is the fact that it is not yet known to their mother, who is now visiting in Columbus, Ohio.'

 One of the carts which supplies a very poor class of customers here is a combination of ice and coal cart. It is divided in the center, one-half being given up to each commodity. It is a one horse affair and the driver goes from street to street selling ice in small pieces and coal by the scoop or scuttleful The unfortunate pay more for certain necessities than their purse-proud neighbors.
 Flats nowadays must be up to date to entice tenants readily. They must have an elevator, the le~.est advance ment in exposed plumbing, enameled bath tubs, stationary gas ranges, steam heat and the newest decora- tions. At Ninety-third street several new apartment houses have been put up where these improvements may be obtained this year for rents no higher than have been charged for inferior flats down town. Hence the upward flight of the mated ones.
 Nearly all the articles sold through out the western states purpOrting to be the handiwork of American In- dians, aboriginal or contemporaneous are made in prosaic manner by the modern machinery in structure tucked away in the rear of a Bleecker tenement.
