Denver, Colo, Jan. 1S.-At the close
of a bitter fight to keep her husband,
Edward Milliman, from obtaining a di-
vorce, Mrs. Cora Milliman finds herself
in the peculiar predicament of being
awarded the decree through the mis-
taken kindness of the court and much
against her wishes. Mrs. Milliman tri-
ed to change the decree of divorce to
one for separate maintenance only, but
by an order handed down this morning
the court refused her petition and or
dered the decree of divorce entered.

Mrs. Milliman, "for then Mr.. Milliman
can marry that other woman and I'm
not going to have it."
She will appeal to the supreme

SUICIDES IN CHICAGO AND NEW
YORK.

Greater New York had 576 suicides
to report last a Chicago had ASS.
When one takes into the fact
that greater New York has almost dou-
BILE the population, that is a remark
ably favorable showing for that city.
Considering this marked difference
in proportion, it is all the more strik-
ing to observe the s|imilarities which
appear when the suicides are further
classified.
In New York the women suicides
formed 22.2 per cent of the entire num-
Der. In Chicago women were 21.S per
cent of all the suicides.
Shooting was the method Used by
80 per cent of the New York suicides,
and by 80 per cent of the Chicagoans.

Marshall Field of Chicago, through
honesty and square dealing, gained a
reputation of which any American
could feel proud. Only last year he
made a return to the assessor of forty
millions, which was the greatest indi-
vidual assessment ever returned.
Rockefeller, although worth many
times what Marshall Field possessed,
does not make a return equal to this.

William Il. Curtis, writing from

as If the joint statehood bill. making
two states out OF four territories, would
be passed by both houses, but the OPP

determined enough to secure the adop'
ton of what is known as the Foraker
amendment, providing that in the case
of Arizona and New Mexico TIE union
be contingent upon the consent of the
people. Without that provision the bill
cannot pass the senate.

ERRORS in ENGLISH.
BY D. 0. S. LOWELL
OF the Roxbury Latin School.

There are four words in the English
language, in the use of which, we will
venture to say, half of the readers of
The Scrap Book make mistakes every
day in the year. Thus they must be
common words, and it would surely be
well to know how to employ them
Alright.
They are common words. and they
are simple also-only three letters each;
and yet we have known men who were
in college, who not only did not use
them all correctly, but they could not
have done so had their lives depended
on the test.
These four words are Lay, Lie, Set
and Sit-stumbling blocks over which
Of English-speak king people
fan; and yet in one short lesson of
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-07-08

1 II you hear a person say Il shall lay
down." just inquire, Lay what DOWN.
for the verb lay always takes an OBJ
| ject. If one of your friends tells you to
set down." yon may ask, "Set what
DOWN." for the verb set always takes
an object. Remember those facts. and
that lie and sit never take objects-are
intransitfVe-and the whole difficulty in
the four words is mastered.
But though our lesson is ended. we
will say a few words by way of illus
tration.
First, let US acknowledge that the
general principle no rule without ex-
ception holds good here likewise, and
there are few exceptions. Thus. the
sun sets without setting anything; but
as that is almost the only case, aside
from the grand rule with which you
will commonly meet, We shall say moth
ing whatever about the others. for if
you should make errors in every in
stance they would be far less important
than those which you will avoid by at
tention to our rule.
A story is told of a certain lawyer
who was addressing jury and said:
The future of my client, gentlemen,
lays with you"
The judge, interrupting, said:
Lies, Mr.. Coleman; hens lay"
The advocate accepted the correction
and finished his plea. Soon, however,
the day ended, and the judge an
nounced:
Court will set next Tuesday, at
nine O'clock
Coleman sprang to his feet.
sit, your honor; hens set
That was witty, and very fair for a
joke, but is was partly incorrect. Hens
do not set, as one may readily see by
applying our rule. Set what? You NAV
set hen, but after she is set she sits.
and is commonly very set about sitting
too.
But, on the other hand, she lays.
Lays what? An egg Does she lie?
Not commonly; her usual method is to
roost, though she may lie about the
laying.
At the Philadelphia Centennial in
1876, We saw the following placard fast
ened to an easy chair in the Portuguese
department.: Please do not seat on
this chair" Many of the visitors who
laughed at the broken English would
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-07-08

have done worse. They would have
said, DO not set in this chair" What
would you say?
AS an additional aid, one may add,
mentally, the word now to the present
tense, and yesterday to the past tense;
and, of course, remember that the past
participle is always used with have or
has thus:
/ lay the book on the table (now).
I laid the knife on the desk (yester-
day..
L have laM the cloth for dinner.
l lie down now).
The dog lay on the floor yesterday.
The book has lain on the table long
time.
l laid it there yesterday.
The glazier sets the glass (now).
He set two panes yesterday.
He has set five panes in all.
He sits (now) while setting it.
/ sat yesterday in my chair.
] have sat here an hour.
Lie down, Carlo, and lay your head
bank. where l have so often sat before,
and watch the setting sun, which, like
an artist whose genius has lain dor
mant during the meridian of life; now
stretches his cloud canvas on the easel
of the sky, sets forth his colors, which
lay hidden heretofore. and lays them
on in blending tints with rich profusion.

fifteen minutes you may learn so much
of them that you will never again
make a mistake in their use except by
carelessness.
First, commit to memory the princi-
pal parts of each verb which are as
follows:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-07-08

Notice that the past tense of lie is the
same as the present tense of lay, for
that is where a great many are puz-
zled. Now, the first verb of each pair
always takes an object: the second
never takes one; thus. you always lay
and set something, but you never lie
or sit ANYTHING.
