who speak It The language phone" is hardly

Thus no professor is required yet one gets the
purest accent from records made by college bred

machine, thus avoiding provtnciaIisms and insur-
ing perfect speech
Also. the pupil has the advantage of taking n les
son at any time or place, as many times as he
pleases. as against his going to a class at GER
tain times, no matter how inoonvenient it might
be to do
Again, it must frequently occur that the pupil,
while giving his best attention to the Instructor
finds IT impossible to retain the entire lesson
particularly the pronunciation, whereas in our
system one can turn back at any time 10 the
troublesome word or sentence and hear it spoken

It seems from what occurred that Mr.
Morgan had decided to shoot Mrs. Odom
up few lines and chose Sunday as the
time when he was least liable to be in
terfered with. So he took his little shoot
ing iron about $3.50 a. m. and repaired
to the home of Madame Odom, who re-
sides back of the pop factory at Second
and Kansas avenue. Upon his arrival he
went in after the woman. who ducked
into another room. Perhaps Mrs. Odom,
who was shot by the same man on a
former occasion, objected to being shot
on such an extremely warm Sunday
morning. Mr. Morgan ran out and took
five shots at her through the screen in
the window, and succeeded in planting
two out of the five leaden pellets in her
neck Then Morgan jumped fence and
emigrated. Officer Riley was not far
away, and at the sound of the shots and
shrill objections of Madame Odom, drew
his trusty gatling and gave chase. But
Mr. Morgan, who affects a pair of pros
pectors' boots with trousers inserted,
was the best sprinter.
