R0SEBEN FOR JUMPS
AFTER NEXT YEAR

NEW YORK. oct. 29.-But one more
season on the fiat and possibly not that,
and then the mighty king of sprinters.
Rosebeu, Is To be pointed for the an
nual cross-country championship stakes.
His owner, Davy Johnson, having sub
jugated the sprinting world, now longs
for hOnOrs among the steeplechaseTs.
and plans To use Roseben as the me-
dunn.
Rosebcn has all the necessary quail
ncatons of a great steeplechaser-speed
and ability 10 carry weight. Racing
between jumps merely consists of a
succession OF short springs, and any
horse that can carry weight and has
speed can more than earn his liveli-
hood between the flags.
Some OF our greatest steeplechaSe
horses have been spTinters, pure and
simple. Ballarat could scarcely race
more than fve-eighths Of a mile on the
fat. but through the field frequently
went two and One-half miles and won
many brilliant races.

Retain Much of Danish Speech.

John Ackworth, an English dialect
novelist who has made a special study
of the dialects of Lancashire, York
shire, the east coasts and also of the
Danes, shows that the Danes by their
early landings and s~ojournings In
England have Influenced tie language
of the east coasts of Britain to an ex-
traordinary degree, and that the
Danes and the British, in spite Of ap-
parent differences, are one practically
in speech and language as well as in
the relationship of blood. $50 strong
is the English OF the east coasts Of
England impregnated with Danish"
John Ackworth once said, that l am
sure that If a fisherman from the
east coasts of England were to be
wrecked on the shores of Denmark,
and he would only speak in his true
native dialect, that fisherman would
be able to make himself understood"

LAST BOURBON AT VERSAILLES
Orange Tree Has Survived Rule Of
French Dynasty.

Orange Tree Has Survived Rule Of
French Dynasty.
There is at Versailles an orange
tree close upon 500 years old. This
tree, which was taken from Fontaine-
bleau to Versailles on the completion
of the Orangery, was already IA
nous under the title Of the Grand
Bourbon. According to tradition, the
tree had been planted in 1921 by a
Princess of Navarro, and, after sew
eral changes of owners, came into the
possession of Francois l., by whom
1t was placed at Fontainebleau.
When it reached Versailles the King
came to visit it, and two Grand Bour-
bons were then face to face. The man
passed, and even his bones. torn from
their tomb at st. Denis and tossed in
to a trench, have persisted; not a
pinch of his dust remains. But the
tree lives and blooms and bears fruit

"None is" or "None Are."?

All the friends Of liberty of speech
owe gratitude to Prof. Lounsbury OF
Yale for his defense in Harper's
Magazine of the use of none" as the
subject of a plural verb. What idiot
precisionist it was hat started the
movement to schoolmaster that use
of none" out Of existence we do not
know, but his effort has had a deplor-
able degree of success. An awful ex-
ample ought to be made Of some OF
the grammarians who try to make
language conform to rules instead of
making rules conform to language. 1t
will take years to untwist the tongues
of worthy people who have compelled
themselves to say none is" when
their consential impulse was to say
none are."-Harper's Weekly.
