The most disappointing letter l ever received-although
my hopes had not reached the boiling ~point-was one
without a signature, informing me that the writer had been
so touched by the sentiment of one Of my stories, and was
generally SO much impressed by my remarkable literary
ability, that he had placed 5000 to my credit with a bank
as a token Of gratitude. AS 1 have never heard anything
more of this generous gift, I am driven reluctantly to the
sad conclusion that the letter was written in a spirit Of
unworthy sarcasm, and that its author desired to convey
the impressions that he thought meanly both Of myself and
my work. He was entitled to his opinion, but 1t was cruel
to trihe with the worldly hopes of a struggling literary
man and to lead him into the extravaganza Of a new coat

Words are like men. They start
well, but now and then they fall on
evil ways, and are corrupted thereby
out of all likeness to their former
selves. Take "garble," for instance.
1t used to mean ito select for a pur-
pose" There was once an officer
called the garbler of spices, whose bus
mess 1t was to visit the shops and ex-
anime the spices, and order the de-
struction Of all impure goods. His
duties were similar to those Of the
modern health department inspector
who forblds the sale Of decayed vege-
tables or tainted meats The word
comes from a root meaning to sift.
The impurities sifted out have in the
course of generations corrupted the
term till a "garbled report" is no long
er a report from which all uncertainty
has been removed, but n which Is
full Of Misrepresentation and made
misleading with deliberate intent. The
word yellow" Is passing through a
similar transformation In our very
sight. 1t describes the color of sun
light or Of beaten gold, Of the butter.
cup or Of the dandelion. But not many
years ago m of the sensational news
papers printed a series of colored pic
tures Illustrating the adventures OF a
"kid"-that is what the child was
called-wearing a long yellow gar
ment. The yellow pictures appeared
week after week, till men began to
use the term yellow Journalism"
when they desired to describe the jour
nalism that was sensational, coarse
and vulgar. Now we have yellow pol
itics and yellow preaching, yellow
baseball and yellow warfare, and 1t
has got so that when one Is told that
q woman wore a yellow gown to a
party n does not know whether the
color Of the gown Is meant or Its ex-
IRENE vulgarity. Never was there a
better illustration Of the truth of the
saying that a word is known by the
company it keeps.
