II Has Only Two Letters, Yet Il 10
Not Easy to Define.
To define one word in the English
language one modern dictionary takes
eighteen columns Of small type. And
this solitary word upon which the die
tionary bestows such a wealth of elu-
cidation is one that hardly anybody
except dictionary maker can define
at all. The ordinary educated. Eng
lish speaking persons knowledge of 1t
could be expressed in about half sin
gle line.
This fecund word Is "of." If you
were asked to define it--unless you
are dictionary maker or of an allied
trade-probably you would have to re-
ply: "Of? Why, of just means Of"
You might add defenslvely. II always
comprehend perfectly what 1t means
when l see or hear II and can use 1t
correctly in speech, so what do want
to define It for anywayp .j
But IL You were a child your actual
mastery Of "of" would stand you In
no stead whatever. You would be set
TO digging out and memorizing the
things the dictionary had to say about

cases iit is such kind Of proposition

CURTlSS MAKES A FLIGHT
Scars for Few Moments, but No
Trip ATTEMPTED.

Albany, May 27.-The Curttss aeroplane
scared for a few brief moments tonight
after all the attendant spectators on Van
Rensselaer, Island were confident that no
trip fight would be attempted. The be-
havior Of the machine was excellent, and
Mr.. Curtiss hoped that he might launch
out tomorrow on his $4,000 journey to
New York
In the morning the air was favorable.
but the aeroplane was not assem- bled. In
the afternoon the aeroplane was assem-
bled, but the wind blew a gale from the
north.
There was a trolley strike here to-day
and access to Van Rensselaer, Island was
difficult, but the widespread interest in
the flight was shown in the troops Of spec
tators who travelled by foot, carriage or
automobile across the bridge and down the
sandy road to the starting point.
The machine was completely assembled
at o'clock this afternoon. Every nut
was tested and every pulley oiled. The
engine developed excellent horsepower, and
if the wind had been more favorable Cur
tiss might have attempted to make a trip.
At the last moment, however. he de-
cided TO do nothing more than warm up
the engine. He Will rise tomorrow at
a m TO see what the wind says. North
erly winds are what he wishes.

AGAIN -VEToES S-HOUR BILL
Governor Draper of Massachusetts Has
Not Changed His Ideas.

Boston. May 27.-For the second sine and
for practically the same reasons. Governor
Draper to-day vetoed bill making eight
hours a days work for public employees
The bill wes only slightly changed from
one which met a similar fate last year ana
the Governor in his message TO the House
stated that he had not altered his opinion
regarding what he considered 10 De 90
1ectfonal features OF the measure. He SAID
that the title was incorrect and misleading
and he thought that the section which
states that no public employe shall be per
rnitted to work more than eight hours was
an interference with the rights Of those
men who desired at times to work longer.
Last years veto was sustained by both
branches, but the Governors action was an
issue IN the fall campaign.
