COMPACT ENGLISH.

Compact English is new name
for slang New words are constantly
being added to the language and for
the most part they are of the va
riety designated as slang. The pur-
lists are unalterably opposed to the
use OF slang until it becomes incor-
porated In the language by such gem
eral usage as seems to entitle it to
general recognition.
The professor of English in Col
umbia University approves the use
of the word Joint" as applied to
disreputable resorts. and as he Is
something of an authority on simpli-
fled English We may use the word
in the bad sense, as the daily news
paper reporter is certain to do In any
event. without being amenable ia
the charge of using slang.
A few years ago the word graft
had restricted meaning which was
we'll understood by horticulturists
and surgeons, but the courts have
recently recognized new defini-
ton which has been given II By uni
yersal custom In this country. The
dictionaries win take it up after
awhile as having new meaning. but
whether they do or not the news
papers viii continue to use the
words graft" and CRATER" in a
sense that would rot be understood
by those who know the language only
from books.
The language OF the people, the
expressions which they use 10 convey
their thoughts TO emphasize their
declarations, must naturally find
their way into this daily newspapers
and gradually force themselves upon
the attention OF the dictionary max
ers The puristg may not like 1t. but
the incorporation OF the words into
the language Is inevitable and the
effect. generally speaking, is TO "a
rich the idiom and TO increase the
power of compact expression. There
fs one thing about these slang nhras-
es that is notable and that Is that
those that are popular and enduring
are very expressive and not easily
misunderstood For the most part
they are short, sharp and incisive
and that is why slang is called com

WEDDING sUPERSTfTIONs.
Why Ring Is Placed on Fourth
Finger OF Left Hand.

Though popular superstitions
may lack reason for reasonable ex-
PLANTATION, they must have an origin
and this has formed the basis OF
quite an interesting book by T.
Sharper Knowlson.
The question of the wedding ring
and why it should be placed on the
fourth finger of the left hand he
traces back to writer in the British
Apollo, 170S.
There is nothing more in this, ;"
II is stated, than that the custom
was handed down TO the present
age from the practice of our ances-
tors, who found the left hand more
convenient for such ornaments than
the right, in that it is ever less en-
ployed; for the same reason they
chose the fourth finger. which is
not only less used than either of the
rest, but is more capable of preserv-
ing ring from bruises, having this
one quality peculiar to itself. that
it cannot be extennen but in COM
pany with some other finger, where
as the rest may be singly stretched
to their full length and straight
ness"
The old-fashioned notion that a
sioe should bring luck at wedding
Is another superstition curious to ex-
plain.

A UNIQUE SITUATION.
Eight Candidates for Sheriff Re-
cc;v. Same Number of Votes.


San Antonio, Texas. Sept. 21.--
Unioue is the situation developed
in Tvalde county, near San Antonio,
in the tie race for sheriff which was
held on August goth. The result
stands an absolute tie win eight
contesting. The contest over these
eight votes is very unusual IN the
fact that the ordinary charges or
bribery do not enter. For example:
the vote of Henry Shane, pioneer
resident of the county, is attacked on
the ground that he is not citizen.
He came to Texas with his father
from Germany in the year 1915, VINO
later enlisted and served in the
United States army. Shane himself
was nine years of age when he came
to Texas and is unable to show any
papers showing that his father wa1
naturalized. He was a citizen or
the republic of Texas. The question
is raised tnaL tndt HlakeS uIIil II
citizen of the United States since all
the citizens were admitted When
Texas was admitted to the Union.
Another of the oldest inhabitants,
whose vote is challenged, is John
Kennedy who came to Uvalde ~
years ago from Ireland. He was
then seven years old. He claim
that his father refused to go into
q secession convention because he
had sworn allegiance t. tho United
States. Another question was the
vote of several single men who work
ed in adjoining counties but claim
Uvalde as their home as that is
their usual sleeping place. The def
milton of a usual sleeping place
is the question at issue. One of the
contestants, H. w. Taylor, has
been sheriff of Uvalde for twenty
years The contest is arousing wide
spread interest because of it's legal
aspects.
