Who Speaks Correctly?

Professor Lounsbury, of Yale, in
Harper's, assures us that certain ar
chaic forms of speech now re1egated
to the speech of the unlettered were
for a long time considered correct by
the lettered classes. Formerly such
words as oil and boil and joint and
point kept their old diphthongal
sounds of 'i'' and when the modern
pronunciation of these words began.
it was considered affected by all. 1t
has taken centuries to establish the
distinction existing now between the
verbs learn and teach. All writer's OF
the Elizabethan period used each in
the sense of the other. The desira-
bility Of setting up distinction be-
tween the two verbs commenced to
show itself in the sixteenth century.
Forms of the verb be and go have
also changed; have went was former
ly used by all, but it is now consider
ed vulgar. Chaucer uses have went,
and there are few instances OF it in
Shakespeare.
The forms ourn, yourn, hern, his'n
and their'n were once accepted as
proper. When the fourteenth CEN
fury versions of the Bible were made
hern and yourn were used through

ever used by the better class is lack

The use of the double negatives to
strengthen negation was once consid-
cred correct, and it took centuries
to correct the error. The Greeks
used the double negatives. Chaucer
used them, all the Elizabethan writ
ers used them, and the transition to
the correct use OF negative was not
felt till the sixteenth century, when
the study OF the Latin classics was at
its height. The modern use came
from an imitation of Latin construc-

The Familiar Song.

John Burroughs relates that a
number of years ago friend in Eng
land sent him score of skylarks in
a cage. He gave them their liberty
in a field near where he lived. They
drifted away, and he never heard or
saw them again. But one Sunday a
ScOtchman from a neighbOring city
called on him and declared, with Wis
ible excitement, that on his way along
the road he had heard skylark. He
was not dreaming, he knew it was a
skylark, though he had not heard
once since he had left the banks of
the Doom, a quarter of century Or
more before. TIE song had given him
infinitely more pleasure than it would
have given to the naturalist himself.
Many years ago some skylarks were
liberated on Long Island, and they
became established there, and may
now occasionally be heard in certain
localities. One summer day a lover
of birds journeyed out from the city
in order to observe them. A lark was
soaring and singing in the sky above
him. An old Irishman came along and
suddenly stopped as if transfixed to
the spot. A look of mingled delight
and incredulity came into his face
Was he indeed hearing the bird OF
his youth? He took off his hat and
turned his face skyward, and with
moving lips and streaming eyes stood
long time regarding the bird. "Ah,'
thought the student of nature, eff
could only hear the bird as he hears
that song with his ears!" To the man
of science it was only bird-song to
be critically compared to score OF
others. but to the other it brought
back his youth and all those long.

1.-The Democratic party needs new

more champions OF an earnest and
virile type in the higher branch Of
Congress. The Democrats OF Nebras-
ka wifi have the opportunity, II they

next year, TO send Mr.. Bryan to the
Senate. and there Is no good reason
why they should not do so. The
Senatorship is an honor to which Mr..
Bryan may worthily aspire. and his
election would give great satisfaction
to many Democrats who have thrice
supported him when he-was their

Political speculation attributes TO
Mr.. Roosevelt an ambition to repre-

his return from Africa. With Mr..

THE HARMONY DINNER THAT
DIDN'T HARMONIZE.

The National Democratic Club
gave a Jefferson dinner" In New
York last Tuesday. 1t was heralded
beforehand as a harmony feast" at
which Democrats from all parts of
the country, representing various ele-
ments Of the party, were to meet in
the spirit of amity and accord. While
many Western Democrats had been
invited to the harmony feast" 1T
appears that Hon. William Jennings
Bryan, of Nebraska, erstwhile, and
now an erst, Democratic candidate
for President, had not received an in
yitation to lend his presence to the
occasion. Mr.. Bryan's friends say
that no satisfactory explanation has
been given of the failure to include
the Peerless One" In the list of in
vited guests. and they further claim
ed that no Democratic gathering
could be genuinely Democratic IL the
Nebraska statesman was excluded
from 1t. That he had thrice been the
nominee of his party for President,
and, whatever differences of opinion
might exist among Democrats as to
the wisdom and soundness of the pol

Probably the real reason that MI

that they feared he might have an

The Democratic speakers at the
Jeffersonian harmony dinner in New
York Tuesday night attacked every
thing the Republicans are doing,
from revising the Tariff to the Pana-
ma Canal. Judge Harmon attacked
the policy of spending so much
money on the canal when We had so
few ships. Even If that is true won't
our government derive large revenue
from the ships of other countries
that will pass through the big ditch
we are now excavating down in Pan
anna. But we will have more ships
when the canal Is finished and all
our Southern ports will look like

sleep without Dreaming.

Occasionally / have met people
who have insisted that they do not
know what 1t means to dream To
them sleep comes like the pail OF
death, enveloping them so complete
ly as to entirely extinguish the con-
sciousness for the time being. But
strangely enough. I have found that
these individuals do not seem 10 ap-
preciate this blessing OF undisturbed
repose. Instead. they feel that, In
some way, they are being cheated
out of something that belongs TO
them. Like the Scotch plow-boy,
they protest at never being able to
"enjoy" nights sleep. because their
head no sooner touches the pillow
than 1t is time for them to get up
again.
Although we may not be aware OF
the fact, it is rather generally admit
ted that we go to sleep in sections.
That is to say, the senses drop OF one
by one-the sense of hearing usually
being the last to lapse into uncon-
seriousness. This probably explains
why persons who are comparatively
light sleepers can be made to answer
questions, or even carry on quite
Ia protracted conversation without
waking. AS long as the sense OF
hearing continues to play its allot-
ted part, the personality that is
sometimes so nearly obliterated by
sleep, responds to its perceptions Of
the outside world. Finally, how
ever, as one by one the subjective
senses are dulled by this gradual ap
plication of natures mysterious but
universal anesthetic, all sorts Of
strange faneies parade before the
minds eye, for, though the outer eye
may be tightly closed in slumber
some sense that corresponds to thu
organ of sight remains awake ant
ready to participate in the more o.
less strange experiences of the night

NOT AN OFFTCE-SEEKER, BUT 1
PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZEN.

Mr.. w. r. Dorsett, postmaster at
spencer, has been elected mayor of
his town, and will soon resign his
position as postmaster to assume his
new duties as mayor of the progress
siVe town of Spencer at much
smaller salary than he is now receiy-
Ing from the Federal Government.
Almost every Democratic paper that
we have read has commented with
much surprise upon the fact that Mr.
Dorsett should give up a $500 po-
sition to accept the Office of mayor
OF his town at a salary of s25 a year.
1t may throw some light on the mat
ter to state that Mr.. Dorsett is not a
Democratic office-seeker, but is a
prominent Republic citizen with
large business interests in Spencer
and he is more interested in the well
fare OF his town and in doing what
he can to build it up than he is In
holding Federal position. Mr.. Dor
sett Is probably the most prominent
business man in his town and his
people wanted him to serve them as
mayor and he has complied with their
wishes. And this is all there is to
1t, however strange it may sound to
those who have witnessed i Demo

The Philadelphia Ledger thinks
that from a Bryan Democratic view
point that the "Jeffersonian Dinner

might be declared very un-Demo-

"Since Bryan has not been invited

no doubt as to his duty of declaring
the affair un-DemOcratic.'
