A Kentucky colonel, who in every other
way showed his enjoyment of his Bour-

dren are usually advised to take un-
savory medicine, his friends wondered
that the colonel should show such an
aversion to looking at the beverage that
all the rest of Kentucky likes to gaze on

matters nothing that they constantly come
across 1t, or locutions like 1t, in the writ

deed. as of late years. This fact satisfies
the ordinary man; 1t does not satisfy them.
Before they are willing to accept authority
for any idiom, 1t must be reconciled to their
res son-cr what they choose to call their
reason. If in this they fall they are ready
to sacrifice sense to any method of express

grammar. Hence has originated the SUBJ

opinions, among those who have studied the
