The general undoubtedly would say, Swing your men in behind that bunch of mutts and butt into their rear. Leave enough men Gil the other side for a stall. but take the big party to the back side" Instead of the modest message of Commodore Perry, We have met the eneriy and they arr ours,' the up to date commodore would have flashed back the message Run across them and licked the lights out of them. What next?"
 The immortal words of the dying Law renee. Don't give up the ship" would never find place in an order shouted by a modern admiral under the same circum- tances.

SOME ANCIENT ENGLISH
 WITH MODERN APPLICATIONS
By ANGUS A. AGREE

The subtle days of "Unhand me, villain, planted by the more modern, more ex- plicit. more e:ervescent Take your mitts off me, yuh nut, or I'll Diff yuh one of the bean" Tn other words, there is scarce ly sentence spoken nowadays which does not contain some slang expression.
 The old way of expressing a thought has become time worn and the never end 1t imperative that the mode of such speech be changed so that it will listen good.
 In love, war and politics, in which there everything is said to be fair. slang has supplented the pure English. No longer the ardent swain tells the lovely maiden, q love you, Kate; and if 1t be your will also, want you to be my wife'-winding up with something pretty and sentimental. but the modern youth blurts it out whenever the notion strikes him and in just the words which spring, to his lips. Hear him when he says: Say, Kate. little grille. I'm awfuily strong for you and want you to be my pull back. I ain't kiddin'. either dear, but I'm in dead earnest" And neither does the maiden droop her eyelids. blush to the roots of her hair and shyly mur- mur 'Yes" from her hero's shoulder, but the young woman looks Bob straight in the lamp and without the blink of an eyelid tells him Sure.

the measure in the house of commons is certain, but there will be no trouble in passing it for as Mr. Asquith has said there is a clear majority for the measure In the commons with Ireland eliminated.
 It now seems certain that the house of lords will reject it. The only result of this, however, would be the post ponement of home rule for two years.
 All nationalist Ireland is laughing at the lasco in Belfast In the utter failure of the attempt of the "die hards" to prevent Winston Churchill from speak ing in the capital of the north. Ulster did not fight and Ulster was right.
 A few weeks ago, on the death of Lord Waterford, 1t was wondered who would command the South Irish Horse Special Reserve), a regiment in which Lord Beresford will take his place, in the per- son of Lord Decies, D. g. O.. late Sew enth Hussars. who has been promoted to lieutenant colonel. Making his home at Luttrellstown, he will be easily in touch with both Dublin and the Curragh, where the animal training takes place.
 It Is stated that the formal opening of the new Guifdhall of Londonderry will take place in the summer. Londonderry will be visited by the King and Queen.
 This visit will take place probably to- ward the middle of June, but the exact date has not yet been fixed. On the oc- jcasion his majesty will formally open the Guildhall.
 It is understood that the forthcoming royal journey to Ireland will include visits to Belfast and Derry, followed by cruise in the royal yacht around the western and southern coasts of Ireland.

IRISH HOME RULE BILL BEFORE HOUSE

Dublin. February 24-(Special. )-Irish eyes are now turned on London. While the general terms of the home rule bill to be laid before parliament by Premier Asquith are pretty well known. there is much curiosity to see and know the actual terms of the measure which means the end of the. long struggle of Ireland for freedom.
 That it will mean all that Ireland would like to have is hardly probable. but that 1t will be on the whole satisfactory to the Irish leaders and people is practi- cally certain.

Although Patrick Henry used the choc- est of English in his famous 'Liberty or Death speech when it was made in 1776. he would speak 1t in plain United States now, for there are certain people whom he would wish to reach that could not understand what he was talking about if he were to say it as of old
 Of course. when he made the speech P. Henry did not think that people were go- ing to preserve it as a golden gem uf American oratory. and read and admire 1t hundreds of years after he had turned his toes to the daisies. If he had there is no doubt that Pat would have handed it out straight.
 If the speech were given modern small school boy to memorize and recite by Fri day evening at school only three days beforehand. he would promulgate some thing like this:
 What has the big daddles of England been giving us for the past 10 years for us to think we're humane? Is whole raft of soldiers and boats the thing to tell us they love us with? Have we raised such a row about the thing that they got to give us the third degree? Don't you fool yourself. mister. These things mean that they are buffing and I'll bet two to one they got a four flush and it's up to us to call it.
