What Mskss This Popular Phrase a
Prosinc alisrn


Phiiologists claim that some Of
the most interesting phases OF a
language nav he traced through the
medium Of 30 called colloyuialisIns
and idIoms. and a consideration Of
the phrase you al" as used
throughout the south. would Ger
tainly seem 10 make good this as
sertion The subject Is treated in
ncle Remus' Magazine in an arti-
Gle BY {. Alphonso Smith Of the
[ niyerslty Of North Carolina. He
says in part
In almsst every discussion OF
this idiom the disputants have con
lined themselves 10 the question.

lar. Northern writers have gen
orally supported the affirmative.
Ehlle southern writers have defend
I'd the negative In fact. Mason

traced and made TO mark not a 20
htlcal but All idlomatic distinction.
The shIbbcleth is no longer, What
do YOU think OF slavery or secession
or state rights: but, On the con
tested use Of YOU all are YOU for the
singular or for the plurals
South9n people undoubtedly
use YOU all IN sense particularly
their own and not as the equiya-
lent Of al Of YOU.
What. then, Is the distinctive
meaning attached To this idiom in
the south: What makes the phrase
provlnclallsm a. used in the
south, but not q prOvincialism as
used elsewhere; The following
sentences will illustrate:
''FIrst--A mother to her chill

''Second-A teacher to his pu-
Pils, You all you pupils haven't

In not one OF these Characters

ever think Of substituting al Of YOU
for YOU all. Both idioms are plural,
but the distinctive thing about
southern YOU al is not its plural
sense, but its representative sense,

Observance of Lent.

On the day preceding the observance
OF Lent the ST Adams Messenger gave
u few suggestions as TO It's observance
that should be read by every man
whether churchman or not.
"Suppose that the average man
gives a little more than passing
thought to this approaching season OF
sacrifice and, without pretence OF sur.
render OF honest convictions about II
one way or another, examines into his
own life and its daily routine OF com
monplaces TO see whether little peri.
cd OF voluntary sacrifice might refresh
aud reinvlgorate him physically and
might, perhaps, give him little better
grip on his will. Suppose he dellber'
ates upon some little practice that has
begun TO steal Its way In among those
daily commonplaces, some petty begin.
ming Of indulgence that Is slowly but
none the less surely shaping itself into
habit and taking hold hard and be.
ginning TO cry aloud for more indul.
gence still. Some OF our indulgencies
may be good servants but bad masters
Some OF our servant indulgencles grow
TO be master habits before we wake up
TO realize II.
This Is a pretty good time for men
aud women to tai little self analyst
along these lines and resolve TO devote
the Lenten season to finding out for
themselves, lin the sacred privacy OF
their own hearts ard consciences, II
they willl whether habit or will Is The
master with them. Il Is not such n very
long time In which 10 endure sacrifice,
this Lenten period, but II relinquishlng
some indulgence even for that little
while does become burdensome sac
rlfice, IL may be serious warning thai
the sacrifice should have begun long
before. Man becomes 80 easily The
creature OF bis own habits and by such
gradual trspsitlon that he Is sometimes
surprised TO discover that his Slll |,
no longer master Of the appetite as I
used 10 be.
"Lent Is pretty good time In which
