What might have resulted in p ser
ious condagrasion was nipped In the
bud In its early inception last Friday.
The young son OF Mr.. Drake resid-
ing in the rear o. Fogg & Nugent's
law Office entered the Law shop and
climbed on the Office desk reached
into the match box above 1t and Sc
cured matches, lighting one and sell
ting the waste paper basket on FIRE.
Mrs. Drake saw smoke issuing from
the rear door and sounded the alarm
to the owners and the burning basket
vas carried TO the street. The bas-
ket was standing beneath a table
Ia the rear consultation room and
the legs of it were somewhat
scorched. 1t was one of those lucky
accidents that do not hapsen every
day. Kids and matches do not jibe
to any profitable degree.

ENGLISH NEEDS A STRAINER
George Fitch Wonders Which Dialect
Of the Country Is Nearest
Correct

The announcement that a society
has been organized in England for the
purpose of disinterring the English
language from the English pronuncia-
ton will be hailed with deep delight
by Americans.
This society means much to US. For
generations Americans have been &C.
cused of shocking crimes against the
English language. According to Eng
lishmen, who get more indignant over
this crime than almost any other ex.
cept that of beating England in ath-
letics, we have racked, manned, twist
ed, butchered and unjointed their
peerless tongue beyond recognition.
We have admitted this with sorrow,
but when 1t came to reform we have
been helpless Which one Of the 70
dialects and contortions of English
spoken in England have we defaced?
Has it been Cornish, Yorkshire, Cock.
ney or society English? Has it been
Oxford English, Liverpool English, or
stage English? Has it been the Eng
lish which makes IDS" out OF all the
ms" or the English which trans.
plants "h's?" Has It been the Eng
fish which uses "brekker" for break.
fast, or that peculiar brand which sub
stitutes "nycher" for nature, "audjins"
for audience, and which says "tup-
pence-haypenny" as confidently as II It
were spelled that way?
All Of this uncertainty has bafiled
conscientious Americans. In fact, it
has puzzled us to the point Of paraly.
sis. But now that Robert Bridges,
the new poet laureate, who seems dis
posed to do something more humane
than anniversary verse, has headed
an expedition for the selection Of a
real English tongue, we may take
hope.
There could be no real objection to
talking pure English In this country
II the English would only agree
among themselves upon the test

II Was Possible.

A Vermont man recently visited his
brother, the owner Of a ranch in one
of the arid regions of the west. Az
the guest was shown over the place,
the owner told him Of the difficulties
and obstacles that had been overcome
in making the desert bloom and he
also touched upon his plans for the
future
You amaze me, Bill" said the Wis.
itor. "Is it possible to make a liv-
ing on such land as this and in such
a climate?"

more than mere living"
Il am glad to hear that, for you
must have laid by something for q
rainy day"
The owner smiled. I've done bet.
ter than that he explained. With
the help of an occasional rainy day.
l have contrived to lay by something
for the dry days. "-Lippincott's.
