His Love Was Deep Rooted

For more than an hour, as sat by
his side, he rehearsed to me the
events Of his life. Much Of it was pa
thetic, some jocular in the extreme.
The recitation of his love affair with
an Indiana girl should be dramatized.
To refrain from an outburst OF mirth
when he reached the epoch Of his dear
Mandy's declination of his name and
arms was a struggle indeed.

said Yes to you uns, were plum in

when this climax was reached in
his rehearsal he seemed to live over
again the moment of his rejected love.
His tears found avenues of escape
through the wrinkles in his bronzed
and battered cheeks, and articulation
failed him for moment; then, plac-
ing his hand in mine and removing his
tattered title from his head in defer
ence to his dear Mandy, he exclaimed:

A Frenchman has invented a syl-
Liable keyboard for typewriters. 1t is
claimed for his arrangement that with
1t an operator whose speed on an or
binary typewriter is fifty words a min
ute can accomplish one hundred and
seventy-hve words a minute. OF course
the arrangement that sufflces for the
French language would not be adapt

problem must be worked out separate
ly for each. But If the economy of
the syllable keyboard is anything like
what is claimed for it, the syllable
keyboard undoubtedly will come into
universal use, and speed will gain an
other victory.
