CARNEGIE is OUTDONE.
La Crosse Teacher In-ents a New SyS
TEN Of Spelling-Alphabet with For
ty-three Characters Is Formulated

LA CROSSE, Wis, Nov. with
the Geographic code rs Il basis, Philip
3. Lehman, former school teacher
of La Crosse, has perfected Il new form
of phonetic spelling, on which he has
been working fifteen years He proposes
to bring it to the attention of President
Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie
John j. ESch, representative il Con-
greSS from tie Seventh district, will pre-
sent the Lehman form of spelling to
President Roosevelt
In the new form there are no silent let
ters. except in homophonous words and
the letter III" There are no alpha
bencal equivalents, excepting "g" for
J, and y for IL each ut the end Of
words. and * tor ks" and "gs" and
TX for ''c''
An increase is made from twenty-six
characters to forty-threc. OF these thir-
ty-eight are letters and five are comb
nations. Tn" ''sh," "ch." 'wh" and
"ng" constitute the oral elements.
Lehman conceived his idea while
working as Il telegraph operator
The author contends that the entire
English language can be learned after
short study under this system The mere
hearing of word pronounced will serve
to have 1t written correctly, us the
spoken and written word are alike
The new alphabet contains six sounds
of "a two of ''e," two of IL" three of
o four of u" When letter has il
different sound 4 curl or twist denotes
the variations in pronunciation.
The general rules for spelling, with a
list Of GOO words, has been ISSUED by the
author. Write the sound as you hear
it, say the rules.
To illustrate the new system, the fol-
lowing examples are given

Possibilities
of The Future
BY Rev. NetVeN D,OiSht Hills

Memory gives US the past, and work
uses the present, but our real life Is
In the future. Three hundred and six
ty-five golden days lying before US.
Think Of It! One hour sufficed for
Burns to baptize daisy with immor.
tally. One hour was enough for
Wordsworth's Ode to Duty. One even.
ing sufficed for Whitney to sketch his
cotton gin. One winters night gave
the hours of Jefferson to take from
the Gospels his scheme of ideal
ethics.
For the youth the Grst duty is to
grow. Growth means planning; plan.
ming means something definite;
definiteness appoints certain duties
for each hour.
Every day next year read one page
or poem; every day meet one man
greater than yourself, from whom you
can learn, and help one less than
yourself. Every day do some one
stroke OF good work that will stand.
and cross one threshold to carry sun
shine with you. Every day plan to do
some one thing that will help men,
not hurt them: make men, and not
mar them.
You can so order your life as to
grow in health and In enjoyment Of
Gods out-of-door world. You can
