There is one word in the En-
glish language which can appear six
times consecutively and make cor
rect English. To illustrate: A boy
wrote a sentence on the blackboard
which read: ''The man that lies
does wrong" The teacher objected
to the word ''that," SO the word
''who" was substituted, and yet it
must be evident to the reader, for
all that. that that that" that that
teacher objected to was right.
When a man goes home at three
a. M, tries to unlock the door with
a tooth pick, but finally crawls
through the window, scratches a
square rod Of plastering from the
wall in trying to strike light with
a nail, throws it down in disgust
and asks blessings on all match
makers, and goes to bed in the dark
with his boots on the pillows it
conclusive evidence that he has gone
to a temperance meeting?
An exchange says: ''An eastern
9 litOr says that q man got into
trouble by marrying two wives. A
western man replies that many have
done the same marrying one. A
northern editor says that quite q
number of his acquaintance found
trouble enough in promising to
marry and not going any farther.
A southern editor says that a friend
of his was bothered enough when
he was found in company with an
other mans wife"
The following story comes to us
second handed and we do not vouch
for it's truthfulness, but it is never
thelesS good: A farmer who recent
ly settled on one of the free rural
routes running out of Platteville,
went to his box to get his mail one
day and found weather report
reading as follows: Fair Friday
and Saturday" and turning to
neighbor who was with him he ex-
claimed, "Well, gosh darn their fool
skins, amt them chumps at Platte
vile got more sense than to try and
have fair when the crops are jest
ready to harvest? Bet they don't
have no pumpkins nor nothin' else
much, and I'm blamed if I'm goin'
to leave my work and go to no gosh
darned fair this time of year 'Taint
no ways we used to do back where l
cum from" And then the neighbor
explained.
