Spelling in Chicago,

Chicago is at length fully launched
on a campaign Of spelling reform. The
project has been officially promulgat-
ed by the board of education, under
the direction of / rof Andrews, the su-
perintendent of schools; and hereafter
AL the children will have to change the
spelling of a dozen common words. In
their new guise they appear as fol-
lows: Aftho, catalog, decalog, peda-
cog, demagog, program, prolog, tho,
thoro, thOrofare, thru, thruout. There
can be little doubt that this is only a
beginning and an entering wedge by
VIII Chicago will try to reform the
wnole system of english spelling. AT
ter tine children get used to this list
they will be given a dose of another
dozen or two and thus from time to
time new words will be added until
the literature of the Chicago schools
w.l look to the unaccustomed eye like
specimen of printers pi.
1t is going to excite a tremendous
controversy since plenty of people will
consider it little less than heresy to
tamper with the spelling which they
have been at pains to acquire. But it
is sort of going back to first princi-
Piles. Everybody wnen he starts out
to spell constructs his words on the
same plan as that suggested by Prof.
andrews, and has time is principany
spent nj unlearing his first system.
wn.,h he has imblbed from the sound
of the letters. 1t would Hou tless be
found, if an investigation were made,
that manyof the pioneers of Chicago
spelled exactly in that way, and saved
much ink thereby withou' detucung
from the certitude of their impression.
When we fall in with the form we are
going to have good deal of space and

An American Poet Laureate-Why

Is that only a king or queen should

Suppose our Presidents were to be pro-

money Democratic poet during his ad-

have written epics on the Hawaiian
question and sonn5ts to Queen Lii that

who Knows but that a powerful poem
on recommendation, or the gold stand

heresy, started by the boy orator, and
thus have obviated that flop to Popu-

The Mascots Of Lhe Rough Riders.

The regiment had three mascots;
the two most characteristlc--a young
mountain lion brought by the Arlzons
troops, and war eagle brought by
the new Mexlcans--we had been
forced to leave behind at Tampa. The
third, rather dlsreputable but ex-

CuDa, had accompanied us through all
the viclssitudes of the campaign. Tine

whereupon he fed into the darkness
with yells, much more unnerved than
he would have Deen by the arrival of

was let loose and not only walked up
and down the company streets at will,
but also at times flew wherever he
wlshed3 He was young bird, having
been taken out of his nest when a
nedgling Josephine hated him and
was always trying to make meal of
him, especially when we endeavored to
take their photographs together. The
eagle. though good natured, was an en-
tirely competent individual and ready
at any moment to beat Josephine off.
Cuba was also oppressed at times by
Josephine, and was of course no match

crave by simple decision of character.
In addition to the animal mascots
we had two or three small boys who
had also been adopted by the regiment.
One, from Tennessee, was named Dab

Tampa he smuggled himself on board
with a 22-calibre rifle and tnree boxes
