SIMPLY OLD ENGLISH TONGUE
Interesting Account Of the Origin Of
What 10 Known as the Irish
"1roque."

Perhaps nothing illustrates better
the vicissitudes Of pronunciation in
English than study Of what is called
the Irish brogue." This, lingual mode.
for 1t is scarcely to be called a dia-
lect, Is usually presumed to be a de-
terioration Of language due to lack of
education and contact with legitimate
sources of English. 1t proves after a
little study to be preservation of the
old method of pronouncing English.
which has come down to a great de-
gree unchanged in Ireland from
Shakespeare's time.
In Elizabeth's time. however.it came
to be realized that II there was to be
any real aftiliation Of the two coun.
tries. then the Irish language must be
supplanted by English, and definite
effort in this direction was made. This
change Of speech. resented and resist
ed, was nevertheless successfully &C.
complfshed all over the island. except
In the west, within Q decade after
Shakespeare's death. This fact takes
on q new Significance when We study
what We now call the Irish brogue in
connection with what H. known to
have been the pronunciation Of Eng.
fish at that time. The two are found
to conform in practically every re.
spect. lrishmen pronounce English
as their forefathers learned It: and
have preserved its pronunciation be-
cause they have been away from the
main current Of English speech varia-
ton ever since.-James ]. Walsh,
LID. in Harper's Magazine.

She looked at Gerald and Amy sank
back In her hammock. She knew she
was staring rudely at the visitor but
she could not figure 1t all out. Why
did Annabel. whose parents had

was living in Boston. A vague rumor
had said that she was on the stage.
That very morning she had heard that
Annabel was expected today at her

Of it the more bewildering it all was.
Annabel herself was bewildering to

The senate has passed the
house bill fixing the number of
members of the lower house at

Tackled on to the bill increas
ing the number of mem bers of
the house of representatives is
an initiative and referendum
feature suggested by Senator
Burton, of Ohio. Referring to
this feature the Associated
Press report says: 1t provided
that in case of an increase in
the representation of any state,
the redistricting. instead of be
ing done by the state legisla-
ture, as provided by the house
bill, should be "in the manner
provided by the laws" of the
state, thus leaving the redis
tricting subject to the initiative
and referendum laws wherever
they have been placed in
states statute books. These
states have adopted the initia-
tive and referendum in the
form of constitutional amend
ments: Oregon, Oklahoma,
Nevada, Missouri, Montana,
South Dakota, Colorado, Arkar.
sas and Maine. Utah had
adopted a similar amendment,
but the provision is inopera-
tive, because of the failure of
the Legislature to enact the
necessary accompanying iegis
lation. Besides these in the
following states snch an
amendment has been submit
ted by the legislature, but has
not yet been voted upon: Cali
fornia, Washington, Wyoming,

Every now and then there comes

man who acquired the title of 1.-The
Tongue of the Revolution" lies in q
quiet grave on the estate in Charlotte
county where he formerly lived. Over
him Is marble slab inscribed with
the one line: Ills Fame His Best
Epitaph."
The estate lies on the Stanton
river. SO miles from the town of Lnych.
burg. Va. near the border line which
separates Charlotte and Campbell
counties. It derived its name Of Red
Hill from the peculiar color Of the
soil In that vicinity. When Patrick

next day he went to the nearest
town and spent it with a Merchant.
Before the year was out he got the

years the Dollar came back to him
for Produce, and three times he
heard of it in the pockets OF his
Neighbors. The last time he got
1t back was four years ago. lie

House. He has never seen that
Dollar since, nor never will. That
Dollar will never pay any more
