1t is no infrequent thing for we breth-
rem who hail from the south to be Sc
verely joshed for using the brogue that
is so common and almost indispensable to
the southerner. OF course, there's some
thing about it that doesn't sound just
night to the man who isn't accus-
toned to hearing it. But speaking Of
brogue, there are few substitutes for
words that your servant never heard I'M
I'll he laid foot on Kansas soil. Here
are some examples most commonly
heard by large per cent of kansans:
"Rut," for root; "crick." for creek;
acrost," for across; scarf" for scared.
Whenever the southerner tongue sounds
any worse than the above we are ready
to quit the streets.
