WHAT PROFANITY is.

A writer In Puck tried his best to
give true definition of profanity, and
this is the result of his effort: @
Profanity is the expression of the
vocal underscore; the thunder rumble
OF the man at bay; the de profundis of
supreme crisis; the falsetto high pitch
Of ecstasy; the double bass exhaust
Of the walls Of wrath; the involuntary
discord of shock and surprise; the
dulcet heart string solo of philosopher
sit by the fire; the gore cry of the
barefoot encountering sharp-pointed
hardware in the halls of night; the
medium of malediction against stalled
motor cars, umpires with the proper
degree of bias for the home team and
nocturnal feline symphony concerts,
and the manifestation of murders sud-
den metamorphosis into rhetoric, of
mayhem's conversion into mutterings
and Of assault and battery's subsistence
into picturesque adjectives.
Better swear off now

character Of their adventure. None Of
them wanted to be followed by
curious eyes.
| With handful Of British gold in
his pocket, George faced the future
hopefully. He took his companions In
and about town, hunting shops for
Fclothing, which after various diff
culties they succeeded in finding. 1t
was ill-fitting and cheap, but 1t would
serve till they reached either
Alexandria or Naples.
| How are you fixed?" asked Ryanne,
gloomily surveying Georges shoddy
wool.cotton suit.
Cash in hand?"
Yes &
about four hundred pounds. At
Naples can cable. Do you want any,"
Would you mind advancing me two
months salary?"
"Ryanne, do you really mean to
stick to that proposition"
"It's on my mind just now"
"Well, we'll 60 back to the bank and
I'll draw q hundred pounds for you.
You can pay your own expenses as We
go. But what are we going to do In re.
gard to Fortune?"
See that she gets safely back to
Mentone."
Suppose she will not 60 there?"
cts up to you, Percival; it's all up
to you. You're the gay Lochinvar from
the west. I'm not sure-no one ever
is regarding woman-but think
she'll listen to you She wouldn't give

"Solon, you're right There's that
poor devil back in Bagdad. I've killed
Q man, Percival. 1t doesn's mix well
with my dreams"
"You said it was in self-defense.
"And God knows it was But If
hadn't gone after that damned rug,
he'd have been alive today Oh, damn
it all; let's go back to the hotel and
order that club-steak, or the best imi-

pint of wine. I'm as dull as ditch in

"A bottle or two will not hurt any

but for him. And let him do all the

"And while he cabs, we'll get the
best of the steak and the wine!" For
the first time in days Ryanne's
laughter had bit of the erstwhile
rollicking tone.
The dinner was an event. No
delicacy (mostly canned) was over
looked The manager, as he heard the
guineas jingle in Georges pocket, was
filled with shame; not over his
original doubts, but relative to his lack
of perception. The tourists who sat at
the other tables were scandalized at
the popping of champagne corks.
Sanctimonious faces glared reproof A

result of a series of tests they have
just completed, which show that of
722 samples of food, drink and drugs
analysed, 232, or nearly one-third,
were adulterated below standard or
misbranded. The wooden nutmeg was
not in evidence, but other things
were, for example:
Of 290 samples of milk, Z were
SKINNED, 81 watered, and both

Of 46 samples of summer drinks, 10
contained benzoaic acid, 2 coal tar
dyes, 20 saccharine, and 8 artificial

made of distilled vinegar, boiled cider

William speaks with authority con-
corning Upton, as he is a personal
