EASY TO FORGET oRTHoGRAPHY

Employment of Amanuenses Causes
Men to Forget How to Spell.

photography. l defy any man who has
dictated to stenographer for as long
period of time as two years to sit
down and write an ordinary business
letter without making at least four or
five ridiculous blunders In spelling.
skill in English photography is purely
an arbitrary accomplishment. It's a
feat in mnemonics and doesn't nece s.
sarily presuppose the possession of any
special intellectual gifts. The only way
that the average man retains bis ability
TO spell with reasonable correctness Is
by keeping constantly in practice and
seeing the written words before his
eyes. Let him suspend that mental
exercise for n short time and the first
thing you know he'll be spelling ele-
phant with two rs.

length at present my correspondent
would be certain to set me down as
scandalous ignoramus, and l believe
nine-tenths of the business men in the

of most people, by the way, is chiefly
graphic, as far as spelling is concerned.

word down on paper and see how it
looks before they are certain about its
photography. That is why they become
rusty so quick as soon as they give up
the personal handling OF the pen. In
medieval times the upper classes
didn't pretend to know how to write.
They left that to professional scrlven-
ers, and we appear to be drifting back
to that happy condition OF affairs

The noted Klondike explorer, Mr..
Tappan Adney, begins his services as
special correspondent of Golfers
Weekly in an article which amounts
to general survey of the situation of
today in Cape Nome. 1t appears in
the current issue of Golfers, and has
an undoubted value for those who are
looking toward the frozen northwest,
and value only slightly less for the
general reader who enjoys cleverly pre-
pared news.

Browning looked at her in silent

Browning watched the gay scene of

Then he said:

'The girl buried her face again in the
roses.

Mildred leaned forward until he felt
her breath on his cheek. She spoke

Browning sprang forward from the

But she withdrew it hurriedly, and
with her face all wreathed in smiles
caught up her flowers and fan and lace

her floating through the steps of the
