A STUDY OF WORDS.

A philologist was talking about
words. "There are more than 250,-
600 words in the English language"
he said, "but we only use few
thousand of them. The extra ones
are of no use to us. Any man could
sit down with a dictionary and write
in good English story that no one
in the world could understand.
Here, for instance-can you make
head or tail of this?' pattering off
glibly: 81 will again buy the atabal.
You are answered. Yet this is no
blushets bobance, nor am a cudden
either. Though the atabal is dern.
still will again buy it,
Then he translated: 81 will recov-
er the drum You are amazed? Yet
this is no young girls boasting. nor
am a fool either Though the drum
is hidden. still will l recover it.

Crockett's attention to the unusual
sight, saying:
"Hello. there. Crockett: here's a

THE LIFE PLANT.

There is a plant in Jamaica called
the life plant because it is almost
impossible to kill it or any portion
of it, When a leaf is cut off and
hung up by string it sends out
white. thread-like roots, gathers
moisture from the air and begins to
grow new leaves. Even when pressed
and packed away in botanists S
herbarium it has been known to out
grow the leaves of the book in which
it was placed The only way to kill
it is by the heat of a hot iron or OF
boiling water.

President Roosevelt is acting entirely too liberal to suit

ciaIly in the freight rate issue. Congressman Shackleford
made a speech last week and outlined his position. He
stated that the Missouri members would march .'shouidcr
to shoulder with the President in this step. Roosevelt's
determination to secure legislation along these lines are
too Democratic tor the railroad nembess of his party in

purloining former Democratic issues.
