one person in a Thousand understands
the art of proper or perfect punctua-
ticn. It is a bIanch of learning little
taught IN the public schools and Inn
perfectly taught in colleges and uni
versities.
Not many years ago the use OF
semi-colon inserted in tie wrong place
in paragraph of Sc ,tion OF law cost
the state many hundreds of thousands
of dollars. The law related to license
fees.
Punctuation may tie easily under
stood by adopting q simple rule. A
period & is full stop-indicating the
end of sentence. A seml-cOlon (;) is
half stop-indicatiny only half of a
full pause. A comma (,) is q quarter
stop. A colon e. is three quarter
stop and is mark usually indicated
for use at the end Of salatation- as
Dear Sir: Arquestian mark y is used

tions used by lawyers are sometimes
six columns long and the separate

iilic use of semi-colons. The modern
method is to use plain statement of

is your opinion? ?" etc.

He did not leave India but built fleet
on the banks of the Indus upon which
part of his army embarked while the
remainder fought their way along its
banks to its mouth. Reaching the
ocean Alexander ordered his admiral
to explore the coast along the Arabian
Sea and the Persian Gulf, while he with
his army struck inland across the burn
ing deserts of Gedrosia, where a part
of his army perished for want of food
and ater.
