stop the train here as it would
make it very convenient tor

RAILROADING

hHlEhOHDiN0
All our practical knowledge of rail-
reading we picked up when small
boy and had choo-choomania.
The idol of our youth was the en-
gineer. 1t was the greatest surprise
of our young life when we learned
that railroads paid larger salaries for
watering stock-and that this latter
kind of hired help didn't ride on the
cattle trains, eitheri
But in the small boys honest con-
ception, railroading consists in lean
ing from the cab of an iron masta-
don, which CRAWLS seventy miles
an hour. Behind the engine rolls a
long train, containing many precious
lives and basket of luscious train
butchers oranges.
Before starting the trip, the en-
gineer carefully arranges his toilette.
He does this by smearing his face
with SCOT and coal OIL Then he
climbs into the cab and throws open
the throttle!
The throttle must be kept closed,
except when in use, in order to keep
the contents fresh.
At the command, GALL ABOARD"
the engineer takes time to light a
pipe, just to show who is boss. Then
he starts the engine. It is his duty
to watch the danger signals and
cows. 1t is desirable to keep the cow

WI Teach the English
How 10 Speab Their DUN
Language More Correctly

London, Eng, Dec. 27.-An Organi-
zatiOn which promises to shake Lon
dOn's cOmplacency as the fountain
head Of English as it should be
spoken, has taken form at Oxford un-
der the direction of the poet laureate
Robert Bridges, aided by such masters
of English as Thomas Hardy, DR.. Hen
~ Bradley, sir Walter Raleigh and
professor John W Mackail.
While the objects of the association
have not yet been fully defined, they
probably will include the publication
of literature, the delivery of lectures,
attempts ultimately to influence the
teachers over the whole country to
aid in the restoration of the purity of
the language. both written and spoken,
and to resist the unnecessary incor-
poration of foreign words. and to en-
courage the adoption in polite speech
of crisp, terse, vigorous words from
the dialects. The English that John
son spoke rather than the English that
Johnson wrote is the object aimed at
by the association Johnson would
have said rot" but he would have
written ''putrefy."
In a tract prepared for the English
association DR.. Bridges declares that
we say ''neycher" for nature and that
tune is well on its way to become
'chuine.' A professor of English has
been heard to say 'audjins' for audi
ence. An Oxford professor says
'sweshyun" for question, and is sadly
addicted to the word. The younger
generation say paving for pouring.
Fortunately the educated south is
learning that there is an III" in wheel
ana when Ireland and Scotland never
forget it.
