MAY PLEAD GUILTY

three prominent young men of the
city, are alleged to have induced the
girl on the night in question to go to
room in the Fernwell block and
there, after first drugging the beer
she drank, the three assaulted her.
After spending a week in the Sacred
Heart hospital she told the story of
how she was ruined and the arrest
of the young men followed.
The girl was then furnished money
and with a friend of the three men
left the city. She was captured in

back to the city, since which time
she has been confined in the county
Jail for fear she might again be spir-

prosecuted.

The Word .ssun." Gaining Caste.

The word stunt" as meaning q
specific task or performance, is max
ing very rapid progress toward re-
spectability and good standing in
the language. But few years ago
it was seen in print only in the
sporting columns of newspapers,
and then always in quotation marks.
Now it has broken into Harper's
Magazine and even the Atlantic
Monthly, though in the latter case
with an explanation which seems to
read into it meaning that does not
really belong to it. Already nearly
everybody drops it from the tongue
without even the hint Of an apol-
ogy, and it seems in fair way very
soon to take permanent and un-
disputed place in all the dictiona-
ries. Those who are fastidious in
the matter of language may lament
and protest, but their lamentations
and protests in similar previous
cases have had little effect. The
English language is growing all the
time, and sometimes, like the most
carefully trai.ed rosebush, for ex-
ample, it asserts an irrepressible
tendency to grow a little wild
