A Loss All Abound.

Two Englishmcn on visit to Ire
land hired boat for the purpose
OF having a sail One Of the Brit
ons, thinking he would have a good
joke at Pats expense, asked him if
he knew anything about astrology.
'sBe jabers, no. said Pat.
'Ihen that's the best part of
your life just lost" answered the
Engllshman.
The second Englishman then
asked Pat if he knew anything
about theology.
"Be jabcrs, no. answered Pat.
We'll, | just guess that's the
very best part Of your life lost
said the second Englishman.
A few minutes later the boat cap
sized, and Pat began to swim. The
Britons, however, could not swim,
and both called loudly to Pat 10
help them.
..Do You know anything about
swlmology:' asked Pat.
No answered both Englishmen.
j. We'll, be jabers," replied Pat,
"then both of your lives is lost"

Darn this modern idea that every

States must be given the foreign
twist. Why pronounce route, with
its silent e, rute. when it is in the
class with snout, clout. pout, etc?

nunciation-us using the word Yankee

late the dictum of the dictionaries

foreign twang to alien words that
have taken out their second papers.
II one were to speak Of Cervantes
hero, Don Quixote. and pronounce
the name as it is spelled, the chances
are that somebody in the crowd who
had read the book would point the
finger of scorn at the speaker.
However. that's the proper way for
an English-speaking person to pro-

with the great American lexicogra-
piers version of the spelling and
pronunciation of words. This idea
that you must give it as Don kee-
ho-tah is not authorized. Webster's
lnternationa gives the English pro-
nunciation as Don Quix-ut" and
the Spanish as Don Kee-ho-tah. "
If you wish to pronounce it the lat
ter way, to be consistent you must
say Pah-ree for Paris. Veen for
Vienna, Berleen for Berlin, and give
the foreign pronunciation of hum
dreds Of proper and common nouns
that are differently pronounced by
English usage. If a word is stolen
from AN other language, it would be
the part of wisdom to as soon as
possible obliterate all traces Of the
theft. And. in the name of the

Those who consider it an honor to
the people of this state to have the
commonwealth represented in the
national senate by men of ability
and scholarly attainments are pleased
that the Hon. Edward Engerud,
formerly a member of the state su-
preme court. has announced himself
candidate for the nations upper
house. Judge Engerud asks for the
short term. This is the position
made vacant by the death of Martin
N. johnson, and it was juggled as
political pawn by Governor Burke,
who first appointed an unknown
friend Of his to the position. not be-
cause Of his fitness. but because of
his great wealth and his assistance
in boosting the foxy executives

ton now occupied by the genial

derstood that Judge Engerud is

position which the latter is taking

efforts he has made to advance the

indeed be matter Of pride to North
Dakotans to have the state repre-
sented in the federal senate by two
men Of such commanding ability as
McCumber and Engerud. and their
election would show to the people
OF the nation that men of ability
can win in North Dakota even when

dollar-marks whose prominence in
politics is due to that which they

temptation to test my lungs in the
high altitude and make short
visit on my way west. One Of the
many impressive things on the trip

of rocks, more numerous than the
blades Of grass on the prairies Of

greater in bulk and weight; and in
view of their awful weight, as seen
on the surface of this old earth. one
might imagine that the poles at its

Leaving Colorado, we come to Salt
Lake City. the capital of Utah and
the center of Mormonism, where
may be seen the noted tabernacle
and temple Of the Mormon church.
Like Solomon's temple of old. it is
said the Mormons were forty years
in constructing it, and that the
granite blocks used in its construc-
ton were hewed and squared in the
quarries where they were raised. and
conveyed by OK teams to Salt Lake;
also. that the several parts fitted to-
gether with such exact nicely that
there was scarcely heard the sound
of any tool of iron in its construc-
ton. It is generally conceded that
the Mormon tabernacle stands by
itself as one of the architectural
marvels of the age. So wonderful
are the acoustic properties of the
famous building that the dropping
of a pin can be DISTINCTLY heard at
the farther end of the hall, dis
lance of 200 feet. At the time of
its completion there was placed in
the building what was then the larg-

day it ranks fifth in size.
