Changing American Tongue.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Who or what Is respons BILE for new kind
OF pronunciation of English which Is heard
at the fair? Is it southern or southwestern
or southeastern? For investigation has
gone far enough to make sure that it is not
northern or western; and the fasteners
nave so long been set in their accent and
vernacular that there is no mistak;np them.
But when you hear some one calling the
sunken garden 1.-The sunken gordon" what
new differentiation of the mother tongue
have we among us?
Not alone this example, but every. "ah'.
sound of "a" has been broadened until we
hear "stor'' for STAR" "bor'' for bar" and
ladies and gentlemen beg your "pawdon''
Instead of your pardon, or even ''pahdon"
as they do in Boston and New York The
new pronunciation is not unpleasant: In
many ears it Is more agreeable than that
prolonged utterance of star" as IL 1t were

what of 'stor?" In what state or region is
its source? Where is the fountainhead OF
"pawdon" for pardon and 'hawmony' for
harmony? The philologists must needs do
some exploring. This is getting to be a
great country and most diversified one.
