The Most Expressive Word.

At recent meeting of savants and
others with pretensions to authority
in matter of language, discussion
arose as to the most expressive word
in English. While admitting that the
field was a wide one and that decis
ion could only rest upon the very
general grounds, the participants took
great interest in the question and
many suggestions were made. 1t was
observed that the tendency was to
name onomatopoetic words, such as
"buzz," crack" rattle" snap" and
"thud." From these the list, took on
q subtler cast, and the word honor"
found several supporters. Other ex-
pressions of moods or sentiments, as
~lonely," "dreary," "mournful' and
"blithesome," met with favor.
When the matter was at stand.
still one of those present advanced
the word mo-" with a strong plea for
its acceptance as the most expressive
word. It was unanimously agreed that
mo" was the answer not particularly
because 1t was a striking example OF
onomatopoeia, but because 1t most
completely, quickly and definitely
conveyed unmistakable idea.

But be quick!"
l ran to the little room above and
brought the medicine, dropping it with
shaking hand, and holding 1t to her
lips that she might swallow It, In
few minutes her breathing grew less
labored, and she even smiled family.

Little by little her face grew more

suffering from some shock or distress

About the mouths Of the streams

the time of their lives
One of the most amusing sights that
| saw during my stay in Alaska was
two Indian boys being towed about
the harbor at Kadiak by a huge hall
but they had just hooked. Utterly
unable to land the fish, they had
fastened the line to the stern of the
boat, and while they pulled with all
their might, each one at an oar, they
rallied each other for not exerting
more strength and shouted loudly for
help Finally an Indian put out in q

from the dark eyes.
The servant had found some brandy

the glass aside and sat upright.

and the little soft curl with strange
sense of familiarity. She put her fin

first poignancy of grief is over.

HE will not come back"
The finality of her voice precluded
a reply, and after long silence
suggested that she lie down and try

agreed docilely enough, and l threw

Cure Achieved by cuticura.

my little boy had an awful rash all
over his body and the doctor said it
was eczema. 1t was terrible, and used
to water awfully. Any place the water
went it would form another sore and it
would become crusted. A score or
more physicians failed utterly and dis.
mally in their efforts to remove tho
trouble. Then I was told to use the
Cuticura Remedies. I got a cake Of
Cuticura Soap, a box Of Cuticura Oint-

The Rare Gift Of Courtesy.

Courtesy includes not merely social

business associates and of all the fel-
low citizens with whom a man of af-
fairs may have business to transact.
1t is not American to keep one citi-
zen waiting all day at the door be-
cause he Is poor, and to grant an
ether citizen an interview because 1t
Is believed he Is rich. Wisdom Is not
confined in a purse. and frequently
