coPIous ENGLISH LANGUAGE

mo other modern language has 20
coDious . vocabulary as English"
says . writer. The reason lies in the
fact, that It. has an Anglo-Saxon basis,
on which has been raised an immense
superstructure Of the Romance els-
ment, drawn from Norman-F'rench and
tanned, dug out from the coliseum of
Latinity.l the following words which
do not exist in Italian, the language
which must nearly approaches Latin
of all the Romance tongues: Tnquis-
tive 'perfunctory.' extent despair
performance 'desultory,' 'despond-
ency.' interference 'hideous,' state
ment,' attendance achievement
Many of them are also lacking in
French. When one examines lists of
English words often only one or two
of them are to be Iounu in foreign
languages. OF labor travail. TOLL
and work only the first two will be
found in French and Italian; of
large great big grand huge
Italian has only 'grande,' neither
French nor Italian has a word for
tall heaven deep shallow huge
tough bid 'tell.' earn. sore hurt
average home 'fit.' bare kind and
a host of others.
They express these meanings by
using other and often much-worked
words in a new sense. They derive
this faculty from the Latin. which pos
sesses it in high degree. An obser-
want American professor. Gonzalez
Lodge of Columbia university. pointed
out some years ago that the total
vocabulary OF Caesar. Cicero and Vir
gil is only 1853 words. This OF
course, means the use of the same
word over and over again to express
different meanings. and doubtless ex-
plains the great prevalence of the dou-
ble-entendre in the Latin tongues. II
Is q mistake to suppose that a small
vocabulary connotes. greater ease in
studying a language: all the ramifica-
tions of variety In use have to be fol-
lowed and acquired.
ON the other hand. great wealth
in a language demands higher select
i've powers. The failure TO select the
correct word is in itself a form of
slang. as when an American calls

lishman dubs decent that which has

Five Aces Disastrous.

In some states It is considered ex-
tremely unhealthful to hold more than
four aces in poker contest. In
Arkansas any man finding FIVE aces in
his hand will do well to do his best to
keep 1t to himself and be careful about
not saying anything about IL to any
one outside OF his own immediate fam
lily. The condition Of Edward Wolfe of
Blytheyille. Ark. now in the Peoples
hospital. a razor bruise from ear to

the truth OF the above statement. In

that his five aces may prove fatal.

That our friend Radovitch has

THAT he has come back without his

be merely a subjective condition in

from brOoding over his departure.
However, that would be far more i'm.

"Of course not" said the doctor.
Don't blame the priest for that,
though. All truth is relative in that
world that Radovitch is now an inhab-

into his hard head that the devil flies
