MANY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. OW-

An interesting Runaway.

II read piece in your paper about
an automobile that run away with
mans mother-in-law," a correspondent
writes the Adams (Ga.) Ent&rpl Use,
land Pm interested in that autoIno-
bile, and would like to know the name
and price of it, or If the owne" would
part with it for an extra considers
ton? The only objection to the story
is that it doesn't go far enough; it
says the automobile ran away with
her, but doesn't say what happened
whether the. runaway was fatal, or the
automobile changed its mind and
turned round and came back to where
it started from. Can you throw any
more light on the subject, and, by so
doing, oblige constant reader ard old
subscriber"

Pronunciation.

Here is what recognized authority
says on the subject: in spoken Ian
guage, pronunciation,i the most strik-
ing element, and thus 1t happens that
1t is, more than any other one thing,
the most obvious test Of general cul-
ture. Even in a speaker OF recognized
ability, his INSTRUMENTATION fall
harshly upon the ear, and cause the
hearer to suspect that his early, If not
later. education has been wanting in
polish, or that he has not been accus-
toned to the society Of refined and
cultivated people," Surely this writer
does not overestimate the case or ex-
aggerate, in any way, the importance
of correct pronunciation.

a whirlpool 1t was depicted as a

body of fish begirt with hideous dogs.
Opposite her was the other monster,
Scylla. In later times they were placed

the Italian Side. The recent earth
quake is believed to have changed the

was of gigantic stature and enormous
