Let US. my good friends. always suit
our tools to the work to be done We do
not trim our nails with broadswords or
carve statues with adzes. Now word is
a tool, Just as a hoe is. or a razor. The
figure OF Liberty on a quarter of dollar
is impressed there by machine made for
the purpose. By the same token words
were invented to imprint thoughts and
ideas on the minds OF others. And every
word or expression has a currency meaning
of its own SO long as we refrain from using
them in a slack or careless way.
Just as the Lord Mayors coach, or ones
own best clothes are not intended for every
little trumpery occasion, so great words
should be reserved till the time comes
when nothing else will do. When a man
singes his whiskers by the slovenly han
ding OF lighted match we do not rouse
up the fire department
Now the word "excruciating'' is one of
the strongest words in the English Ian
guage. 1t tingles with sharp significance
as a black cats back snaps with electricity
on a frosty night. Only shallow people
will take liberties with this word. In our
ordinary talk it does not come properly
into play once a year. and rightly so. For
it alludes to a kind of mental or physical
suffering that we desire to avoid thinking
or speaking Of. II the root meaning of the
word ''excruciating" escapes you for the
moment, look it up in the dictionary. 1t
is a word with pedigree, and its ances-
tors have supped with horrors since men
began to make history.
The question then that you and have to
settle is, whether Mr.. George d. Simpson
employed this dignified and exclusive word
justifiably when he said Il was troubled
