English Paper, However, Not Able to
Distinguish What 10 Slang.
Henry Arthur Jones has our support
in his eulogy of the American Ian
guage. says the London Globe. "Amer-
lean colloquial language" he says, lis
racier than ours, has more bite and
sting and swarms with lusty young
idioms struck of red hot with vital
ity."
That is the secret of the beauty OF
American. It is, to employ it for the
moment, a real, live tongue, hitting
you where you live, and all wool right
through. English sounds insipid and
tame after it, though to do us justice,
we are gradually assimilating Ameri.
can idioms and working them into the
fabric of our speech. It is becoming
quite common to hear people say they
can NOT "stand for q thing, when q
few years back they would have said
simply stand" One hears. too. Of q
thing as being ''soft proposition" or
q tough proposition"
It seems to US that there is moro
humor in American colloquialisms.
One somehow feels that the man who
invented them must have been q
pleasant fellow. The English collo-
quialism too often suggests the public
house. One should distinguish. how.
ever, between the colloquialisms Of
America and It's slang. The slang may
be shade too racy even for those
who like the colloq uialisms. We have
known men who liked to affect the
American idiom In their conversation
being as bafied by the works Of
George AIDE 40 was Andrew Lang when
reviewing that writer's Fables IN

ARTEMuS WARD.

Is he gone to . land of no laughter
This man who made mirth for us all;
Proves death but a silence hereafter
From sounds that delight or appal?
Once closed have the lips no more duty.
No more pleasure those exquisite ears;
Has the heart done oerflOwing with
beauty
As the eyes have with tears?
Nay. If aught be sure. what can be surer
Than that earth's good decays not with
earth;
And Of ali the hearts springs none are
purer
Than the springs of the fountain of
mirth:
He who sounds them has pierced the
hearts hollows,
The places where tears are and sleep.
For the foam flakes that dance on life's
shadows
Are wrung from life's deep.
He came with heart full of gladness
From the glad-heaTted world of the
West.
Won our laughter. but not in mere mad
ness
Spake and laughed with u not in mere
Jest.
For the man in our heart fingered after.
When the merriment died from OuI
ears
And those that were loudest in laughter
Are silent in tears.

Within all his charging sphere, Alan
Lovey can never be replaced II is
much 20 say Of any man that his like
will not be looked upon again; but it is
true OF DOvey in all this intermountain
west that no man can fill his place
In the public admiration, and no man
can fill his place in the hearts of those
who knew him.
His was the rare art of saying chap
tiers i'm a picture; and while his pen was
pointed with a rarely powerful humor,
more than any other artist, he could
say in lines the strength of truth with
out saying its bitterness.
The genius of his great art was not
his only genius. Within a few months
past he had stepped into q wide arena
of activity and had there demonstrated
that the fertile mind which could con-
ceive. and the ready hand which could
execute wondrous things of magma
ton, could also accurately deal with
material enterprise; and this young
man, supported by the love of hun
dreds who knew him as the friend and
the hundreds of thousands who knew
nm as the artist, was on the high road
To wealth. 1t was the very energy of
his genius which struck him down. Not
sufficiently robust of physique for the
heavy cares and activities in which he
had engaged his life, he was driving his
projects by the force OF his nervous
energy: and all at once. when disease
attacked him. it found him with his re-
serve Of vitality exhausted.
Men who knew his devotion to the
sweet things of life, men who knew his
tender care for wife and mother and
child, men who knew his clear con-
seriousness I'm public duty, men who felt
that Alan LOvey would grow into d
mighty force for good in the nation
when his business success should have
enlarged his opportunities and influ-
ence; these will regret him with the
consciousness that a beautiful charac-
ter of private life has departed and
that a noble citizen has passed away.
y Drawer, a more courageous. more
tender, more truthful soul, has not
revealed itself to men within his day.
Peace to his ashes and onward flight
to his radiant spirit. And consolation
to those for whom he lived, and to ben
eft whom he undertook the task in
which he persisted.

glory of it was, aside from its excel

He was much needed. The world
needed him: to his little family he was

for him because of what he was, ana
mixed with the grief is an inexpress-

morning OF his fame-with his powers
just reaching their meridian.
We are glad that the pain was
passed before the final summons came,
that he anticipated it with smiles and
songs.

(From the Utah County Democrat)
We entertain more than passing
interest in the death of Alan /. Lovey
OF The Salt Lake Herald. Besides be-
ing a personal friend of ours, we know
something of his invalid mother who,
during the last few years, has spent a
good deal of time in our city. We know
how constant, faithful and loving he
was TO that dear old mother of his and
how her every want was supplied as
nearly as Alan's purse could supply it.
We much regret such a mans untimely
death; but we fully appreciate the fact
that Deaths harvest must come at some
time. We must be prepared for the
ordeal and meet it il we can with the
song and complaeeney that Lorey met
it. May GOD bless his mother and little
family that they may endure this great
tribulation that has come upon them.
We hope they may be strengthened in
heart and soul to Withstand the sad
separation that providence has placed
upon them.
