Words That Have Become
Obsolete. 4

Perhaps nothing strikes the diction.
Inry worker or student more forcibly
than the number of English words or
uses Of words. which once flourished
vigorously and have become quite OBJ
solcto. The verb 'refel' t"to reiute,
rppel, reiect'D, for example, which APP
pears In our literature from early in
the sixteenth century, was in common
use IN eight senses for FULLY 100 years.
II then began 10 decay. and survived
only In a single sense until about l7a4.
The history of the verb resent ON
mcnced early In the seventeenth cen
fury, and diverged into eleven differ
ent senses. Most of these fell into dis
|use after a short period Of probation.
and the verb is now represented in
only one sense.
Words likewise lose part Of their In
tcnsity of meaning. From OF least tho
year 300 the word 'rother" tnow only
in dialect use). s%iEulfying "a horned
BEAST hns been IN currency; but its
fun Significance became lost. and, the
form was strengthened by the addi-
ton of beast" Hence the combina-
ton. 'rother-beast." In use from 1850
10 1900. The large number Of old
words preserved in the v%ernacular, but
especially in the northern countries
ana IN Scotland. is remarkable. When
ever n dialect use throws light upon
or continues The history OF Il literary
word. il Is given an appropriate place
in the gigantic new oxford dictionary.

fled the sheriff he considered such
action in keeping with his commit
ment at this time pending word from
the governor. Judge Pope had re-
ceiVcd a message from Governor
Curry asking his advice on the matter
Of the pardon which had been re-
qucsted. Judge Pope answered that
ordinarily he would oppose IL bat in
this case since Leopold had served ten
days and the purpose of the law was
accomplished and for the further reu-
son that it was the Christmas season
he recommended the pardon. The
district attorney c~oncurred in this
opinion ana the pardon is expected
