CHICAGOESE GOOD ENOUGH.
Residents of the Garden City Are Sat-
isfied with Their Own
Dialect.

When teachers or principals of the
idiom, twist up their grammatical con-
struction and slide into bad colloquial-
isms, it is simply a lapse into Chi
cagoese," says the Chicago Tribune.
The district superintendent of schools
came to this opinion few days ago at
their cabinet meeting, after they had
considered the charges of school trust
ees that the teachers do not under
stand the language and cannot use or
teach it correctly.
Whatever faults there might be in
the school English the superintend-
ents decided to be the result of local
dialect. When a teacher says that
amt" or sit DON'T" splits her infni-
tives, uses adjectives where adverbs
should be used, ends a sentence with a
proposition, asks where something sis
at" places modifying clauses out Of
order, forgets the conjugation of her
verbs, or does any of the other things
of which trustees complain, it is SIM
ply lapse into local dialect, according
to the superintendents.
Such usages are permissible in "Chi-
cagoese," and lapses into dialect do not
constitute offenses which would make
Lindley Murray weep, according to the
superintendent. 1t was decided that
the charges of the trustees had been
overdrawn and were not based upon a
sufficient investigation.
Spelling is not taught in the pri-
mary grades from text bools,' said
superintendent Sabin, ''but it is in the
elementary grades. When the teachers
use bad English they simply lapse into
Chicago dialect, in which they were
brought up. They are nearly all Chi
cage born"

MRS. DEWEY'S POKER FLATS.
Strange Story About Property of the
AdmiraPs ConsOrt at Wichita,
Kansas.

The recent visit Of Mrs. Dewey to
this city recalls a queer story about
some western real estate she owns
at Wichita, Kan, and the way in
which she came by them, says tAe
Chicago Chronicle When Gen. Hazen,
her first. husband, was stationed in
the west he used to be a fairly good
poker player, and they said his luck
was something which one would rath-
er dodge than meet. At the time he
was in Wichita the town was full of
real estate boomers, spectators and
other people who had land-not exact
ly to burn, but to sell as quickly as
possible. One night there was a game
among five players, their names being
Harry Hill, Dave Payne, Dave Ban
croft and Capt. Crouch, besides Gen.
Hazen. They played cash at first,
because the general was a canny and
wise gentleman and did not wish to
stake money against the more or less
fictitious value of town lots. But as
the game went on Gen. HaZen secured
about all the cash there was in sight,
dHu UIIoH CHe1 DeSdu 10 put up Town
lots. At the end of the game Gen.
Hazen had so nice, large, realistic
town lots, and when he died he be-
queathed them to his wife. It hap
pens that all the participants in that
game except one are known to be
dead, and it is not certain that the
other one is living. The bottom
Il %
property values decreased and for
long time no attention was paid to
this piece of property. The value of
land there, however, is now going up
and if Mrs. Dewey has no trouble ia
establishing her title she viii have
a nice littIe fortune

'Some people, men especially, &C
quire regulations for excellent taste
in selecting presents, when in reality
they haven't the slightest idea what
is being sent" said a salesman in a
fashionable street jewelry store, &C
cording to the Philadelphia Record.
"They just don't want to be bothered
with making a selection themselves.
Several regular customers who have
accounts here invariably come to me
when they receive wedding invitations,
or have to give presents of any kind,
and tell me to use my own Judgment
in making a selection. Of course, they
tell me how much they want to spend,
give me the name and address, together
with card to be inclosed, and go about
their business. They haven't the
slightest idea of what their gift is
until they receive note of thanks"

SOWING WITH ARTILLERY.
How the Duke of AthOI Redeemed a.
Barren Crag from insight
Iy SterMity.

In the grounds of the duke of Athol
and near Blair castle, England, stands
high, rocky crag named Craigiebarns.
1t looked grim and bare in the midst
of beauty and it's owner thought how
much prettier it would look if only
trees, shrubs, ETC., could be planted
in it's hooks and crannies. 1t was con-
sidered impossible for anyone to scale
its steep and dangerous activities and
no other way was thought of to get
seed sown. One day, says the New
York Press, Alexander Nasmyth, ia
Their of the celebrated engineer, paid a
visit 20 the dukes grounds. The crag
was pointed out to him and he was
told Of the desire of the duke regard
ing it,
After some thought he conceived
how it could be accomplished. In pass
ing the castle he noticed two old can
non. He got few small tin canisters,
made to fit the bore of the cannon, and
filled them with a variety of tree, shrub
and grass seeds. The cannons were
loaded in the usual way and fired at the
rocks from all sides. The little can
listers on striking the rock burst, scat
tering the seeds in all directions.
Many seeds were lost, but many more
fell into the lodges or cracks where
there was little moss or earth. These
soon showed signs of life and in few
years graceful trees and pretty climb
ing plants, all sown by gunpowder,
were growing and fiourishing in near
gray crag, clothing it with verdant
beauty.

indicate, all OF the foreign legationists
have been horribly massacred in
Pekin, there IS no telling where the
Erouble will end. The united powers
will demand the strictest reparation
on the part of the Chinese govern
anent, and this will probably not be
secured without a bloody conflict
The outcome In the end may be the
total disco mfiture of the Chinese
people and a division OF the great
country. Already the powers have
forces landed and some fighting has
been done.
