Rise, Ye Spoilers.

Stand up, We spoilers, now and spell
Spell phenakistoscope and knell;
Or take some simple word as chill
Or gauger or the garden lily.
To spell such words as syllogism
And lachrymose and synchronism
And Pentateuch and saccharine
Apocrypha and celadine,
Jepnine and homeopathy,
Paralysis and chloroform,
Rhinoceros and pachyderm,
Metempsychosis, gherkins, basque,
Is certainly no easy task.
Kaleidoscope and Tennessee,
Kamschatka and erysipelas
And etiquette and sassafras,
Infallible and ptyalsm,
Allopathy and rheumatism
And cataclysm and beleaguer,
Twelfth, eighteenth, rendezvous, in
triguer,
And host of other words all found
On English and on classic ground;
Thus Behring Strait and Michaelmas
Thermopylae, ialap, Havana,
Cinquefoil and Ipecacuanha
And Rappahannock and Shenandoah
And Schuylkill and thousand more
Are words some prime good spoilers
Miss
In dictionary lands like this.
Nor need one think himself a scroyle
If some of these his efforts foil,
Nor deem himself undone forever
To miss the name of either river,
The Dniper, Seine, or Guadalquiver.

"Can man be a gentleman if he
wears detachable cuffs?n This question
has lately engaged some of the best
thinking of the Troy Press, the Brook
Ign Eagle, the Boston Globe, the SYRIA
cuse Post-Standard, and other contem-
poraries. Proper treatment of this ques-
ton has, in fact, almost crowded out
the question as to what is the right pun
ishment for a man who wears his straw
hat after the season closes.

EMBERS TANNED TO FLAME.
Divorced Couple Remarked Follow.
ing Protracted Separation.

That absence makes the heart grow
fonder was exemprifled today. when
Henry P. Bragg OF Norfolk. Va. who
recently returned from the Philippines,
secured marriage license at the District
ourtholse to remarry his divorced wife,
Mary e. Bragg, whose maiden name was
Mary E. Eubank.
Although the divorce decree gave the
wife the privilege of resuming her maiden
name. she did not exercise the right and
has continued to be known as Mrs. Bragg
in Lynchburg, Va. where she resides.
After the divorce the husband went to
the Philippines. from which he has only
recently returned. A visit to his former
wife rekindled tho smoldering embers OF
love, and as a sequel the couple camo to
Washington today to be rewed.

to Rev. John G. Ball each appears as
having been once married, and the dec
lara.tion is made that at the time Of ap-
plication they were not related.
