MODERN METHODS OF SPELLING
Exchange Tells of Hardships The
Caused One Unfortunate.

Imagine the case of person who
at different periods of his life was
obliged to learn to spell all over
again. said the professor. 81 knew Of
such man, not originally a poor
speller. who was compelled thrice to
take up the study Of photography. 1t
happened in this way:
This friend of mine was reared in
the country, attended the school.
and acquired therein the necessary
proficiency under the rules Of the old
time teacher. AS matter of fact he
learned to spell while standing. 1t
was a curious fact that for many
years that man could not spell some
of the simplest words unless he stood
UP. On his feet, he was the best
speller in the class, and acquired
many prize in the spelling bees.
There was not pupil in those days
who could turn him down. when it
came to an exercise in upright ortho-
graphy.
Then. years afterward. he had to
learn to spell with a pencil. All his
spelling talent went into his pencil.
His tongue had lost it's cunning. and
whether standing or sitting he would
miss the easiest words, unless he used
his pencil.
Finally, with the advent OF the
typewriter. he was obliged again to
learn how to spell, this time with the
machine. Queer thing, isn't 1t? I'm
less the word is a simple one. my
friends tongue refuses its aid, his
pencil declines to afford it's old-time
help, and he is compelled to refer to
Inc writing machine. And yet he's
good speller.-The Sunday Magazine

The Bishops Mistake.

Bishop Johns was holding service
at little log church in the mountains
of the South. Two young mountain
GERS. proud parents of lusty young
ster, presented themselves before the
bishop to have the child christened
The bishop asked: What name?"
The father Of the child replied:
"Beelzebub."
"No?" exclaimed the bishop, amazed
that the Prince of Darkness should be
so honored. mo, Well call the child
John. John is good name"
Whereupon he continued rapidly
with the Il baptize thee. john" He
signed with the sign of the cross and
dismissed the parents.
They had become more and more
confused under the unwonted solem-
nifty Of the unfamiliar ritual. The
father stood on one foot, shifting his
weight to the other; the mother was
equally disturbed.
When the two reached the door of
the church the father turned, and at
last finding his voice, called back to-
ward the rude chancel: Mister
Bishop. dis heah's gal baby!"-The
Sunday Magazine.
