USE OF WHO OR WHOM.
Where Grammar Bunks Up Against
Idiom and Gets Jolt.

The employment OF the nOminatiye
"who" for the accusative in certain
forms OF Interrogation has become so
lmbedded In common usage that re-
sort, even now, 10 the strictly orthodox
practice frequently requires, on the
part OF educated men, positive effort or
prolonged training II somehow does
not seem natural In the past assured
ly this nominative form, where precise
grammar would require the accusa-
tive, turns up with almost invariable
regularity In works which set out to
represent cOlloqulal speech.

John Rivers as she shows him the
picture Of Rosamund oliver. Such ex-
amples could be multiplied by hun

the use Of "whOm" would strike upon
the ears Of most Of us as painfully
pedantlc.

overcome. That height OF linguistic
virtue few Of us there are who attain.

In "The Curtss Aviation Book
Glenn Curtiss describes the first public

According TO Washington Irving, the
Delaware Indian had Il superstitious
reverence for the eagle, believing that
a guardian spirit in the form OF this
bird watched over them, lowering In

crops aud made them have great sue

Passes Bogus Checks.

Greenville, Aug. 3-H. P. Matthews,
the dapper young man held at the
county jail en- the charge of passing
bogus checks, has admitted his guilt
to interviewers, though he says he is
not the only man involved in these
transactions. stThere are other fell
lows working the same game around

them was here with me; but it seems
they have left me with the bag to
hold. 1t may be later 1 shall decide

admits that his name is not Matthews,
refusing to divulge his real identity.
Each day brings information to the
list of cities in this section which are
to be added to the list Of the stung.
Sheriff Rector has received a letter
from Columbia giving the information
that Matthews answers the description
of a man who passed worthless checks
in Columbia under the name of H. P.
Douglas. A telegram from Sheriff
Martin of Charleston declares that a
number of checks, of large amounts,
were passed in that city on the same
bank which Matthews is known to
have used in Greenville.
Inquiries have also been received
from Charlotte asking for a descrip-
ton of Matthews.
Local police declare the man is but
one of a gang who have been oper-
ating in this part of the South for
several months.
