WHEN TO USE COMMA.
Also When 1t is Neediess-No Ironclad
 Rule.

Rule.
 '.Dasma" in The New York Times,
 An interesting point is raised by your
 correspondent 'C. B. S." in relation to
 the punctuation of the following sem tence: The following officers are to be elected: President. vice-president, sec- retary and treasurer" Because it is not unusual for the office of secretary
 and treasurer 10 be held by one person there is room for doubt as to whether three or four persons are to be elected. There would be no such doubt if a com
 ma were placed after the word "secre- tary.' There are two rules of punc- tuation covering this point Almost
 any book on rhetoric and composition will tell you that the comma should
 be inserted; newspaper usage decrees that it should not. Here. for example,
 is sentence punctuated according to the rhetoric rule: The butcher sells beef, pork. lamb. and veal" In a news paper the comma after lamb" would be omitted. A rhetoric book would say 1t should he inserted. on the theory that
 its omission falsely implies a closer relation between lamb and veal than between the other articles enumerated. It is not well to regard either rule as ironcIad. The writer who punctuates
 mechanically by rule is sure to get into trouble. I have known writers who SO closely followed and wrongly in- terpretei the newspaper rule as never, under any circumstances, to place a comma after a word followed by "and". Freauent absurdities resulted. of which the following Is a sample: Last night Mrs. Smith lost her watch and her husband, on being informed of the fact. notified the police" The reader 1t will | be observed, runs up against a snag. The first impression Is that Mrs. Smith lost her watch and her husband" As | a matter of fact, Mrs. Smith lost her Iwatch; and her husband. on being in- formed of the fact, notified the police. On the other hand the comma may be overworksd. I know scholarly critic who contended for the following pune tuation of a firm name: Smith. Jones.
 6 Robinson" His theory was that if | the comma after Jones were omitted an announcement like the following might be misunderstood: Smith, Jones
 & Robinson are offering a fine line of dress goods at low prices" The critic
 held the far-fetched view that this was equivalent to informing Smith that Jones & Robinson were offering ine | line of dress goods, etc. As a matter of fact, 1t Is equally erro- neous to claim that the comma should l always. or should never, be omitted af- | ter a word preceding and. The only object of punctuation is to make | the meaning of the writer clear to the | eye of the reader. Having learned the | significance of the various marks the | thing is to use them intelligently wYh that end in view. The only art to be acquired is that of making good sense' and avoiding ambiguity.

mere youngster. was engaged as its

Fort Gibson, the oldest town in the
territory is rich in historic lore, very
little of which has ever been recorded in
print. The town was settled shortly
after 1903, the date of the Louisiana
purchase, and about Is years later a
military post was established there.
From that time to this many distin-
guished men have made the fort their
rendezvous, living in the old church,
and to-day one may see headstones in
the United States cemetery, less than a
mile from the church, bearing the names
of past war heroes who were killed or
died there in the service of the flag. In
the graveyard there are buried about
$500 bodies of soldiers, all of whom fig
ured more or less prominently in Indian
warfare On the frontier
The wife of Admiral Dewey, in the
early days, married to Gen. Hazen, left
her home in Cincinnati and for many
years lived at the fort, and was de-
clared to have been the most stylish wom-
an who ever visited the place. Zachary
Taylor, afterwards president of the
United States, and Jefferson Davis, aft
erwards president of the confederacy,
both lived at and commanded the fort.
From this place JEFF Davis, then an I'M
tried lieutenant, eloped with Miss Betty
Taylor to Van Buren,, Ark, without the
| consent of either of the principals
parents. After the elopement Davis
commanded the fort, living within its
precincts until the time of the Mexican
war, in which conflict he won distinc-
ton by saving the day for the Amer
| leans at the battle of Buena Vista. Gen.
Taylor after that exploit exhibited
great pride in Davis and, it is declared
almost forgave the act which bereft him
of a daughter and gave him a son-in-
law.
Gen. Samuel Houston, a character who
is surrounded by veil of mystery, came
to the fort after resigning the governor
ship Of Tennessee, leaving his newly
welded wife, coming west and joining
band of Cherokees among whom he wal
a feared and admired leader. Not lon,
after his arrival at Fort Gibson, he mar
ried a pretty Indian maiden, Tallihini
Rogers, and with her he lived at the his
toric place until his departure for tn
war in Texas in 1882, BY his heroic con
duct in the battle in which his troop
routed the Mexicans and won the in
dependence Of Texas, he was favore,
by being made the first governor 0
that state.
Washington Irving wrote his Tale
Of a Traveller" just outside the oil
parade ground on Garrison Hill. L
Longfellows "Evangeline," he describe
graphically and accurately scener
about Fort Gibson.
Among other notables who visite
the place are Gen. Winifred Scott, Ger
Robert Il. Lee, Gen. George b. McClel
