PRoNoUNcMe WORDS.
A Test and Z Fllppant Fling 1t the
Critic and He TkeoeY.


Comes now another to trouble us In
these days when the wayfarer has al
ready enough bothers to keep him from
lingering overlOng in his humble re-
pose. It is a man who has discovered
that there are $4,000 English words
more or less commonly mispronounced
and who would show us how to rescue
ourselves from the disgrace.
By way Of illustration he challenges
all corners to try to pronounce offhand
such words as actinism, archimandrite,
batman, beaufn, bourgeois. BREWER,
buoy, denny, fugleman, fusil, oboe, row.
lock, tassel, vase and velleity. He in
Inmates that anybody who can give
them all correctly can qualify as a 300
hitter In the pronunciation league, but
still has long way to so before he
reaches perfection.
But what of it? An oboe sounds as
sweet whether one calls it an Oh-bOw
or an oh-boy. If the writer Of this
article told his printer to set it in boor-
zhwah type the printer probably would
call meeting of the chapel and insist
on a strike vote. You can call it vase
or vawze, but it takes dime to get 1t
filed, where it used to cost only 3
cents. As to DENY and velleity, most
of us have got along very well for a
good many years without writing or
speaking either Of them and hope to
struggle along the same way at least
until we have a little rest from worry
over the high cost of potatoes.
The hardest thing about it Is to de-
termine which Of several schools of
pronunciation is most desirable
London, the Melbourne, the Canadian,
the Texas, the Massachusetts, the Ala
bama, the Georgia or the Missouri
Moreover, If $4,000 words are mispro-
nounced most of us are democratic
enough to let the majority rule and be
willing to make it unanimous. - st.

KENTUCKY AND INDIANA TROOPS
CONTROL CAMP.

Indiana and Kentucky troops are
in complete control of Camp Shelby,
at Hattiesburg, Miss. A regiment of
Mississippi infantry, which has been
doing guard duty there, has gone to
the State mobilization camp and the
Indiana men took up the guard work.
Maj. d. H. Lomax, division Quar-
termaster, has reported at Camp
Shelby for duty. His division COM
prises the Indiana, West Virginia
and Kentucky troops and he will have
complete charge of all the food and
feedstuffs the big cantonment will re-
quire.
The arrival of Brig. Gen. Edward
M. Lewis, of the Seventy-forth In
fantry Brigade, makes four Generals
of the five who have been assigned to
this camp. Gen. Lewis commanded
1900 soldiers on the border, includ-
ing the Indiana delegation. He will!
have charge of the Indiana brigade
at Camp Shelby.
Kentucky hospitality is a byword in
Camp Shelby. Maj. Gen. w. H. Sage,
commandant of the camp, is the lat
est conner to feel it. On his arrival
Maj. w. H. Howard, construction
quartermaster, and Maj. Jackson
Morris, assistant construction quar-
termaster, both of them from the
Bluegrass State, offered Gen. Sage
their headquarters.
"No, thanks. You're busy" Gen.
Sage objected.
wait a minute, General, We'll
build yours right away" the Ken
tuckians insisted.
Building the headquarters, two
buildings 80 feet long by Is wide,
took a little more than minute.
They were finished by night.

The Country Paper.

One of the most notable facts con-
nected with the country newspaper
of to-day is the large increase in the
amount of advertising of local bust
ness houses. The change has taken
place gradually and has been marked
especially during the past year or
two. 1t is highly significant and an
inquiry as to the cause of it is of
great profit, not only to those in the
newspaper business, but to every bus
iness man and citizen of our town as
well.
The change in brief, means that
the local merchants have found it
necessary to call attention to their
goods because of the immense compe-
tition they face, the most deadly ele-
ment of which is that from the great
department stores of the cities. These
great establishments advertise their
wares 1avishly, and the metropolitan
newspapers which contain their ad-
vertisements are distributed over the
country, some one paper of which en-
tiers into nearly every home. The re-
suit is that these metropolitan estab-
lishments have built UP an immense
mail order trade.
In Paris, and indeed in most of the
towns around here, there is no occa
sion for this out-oftown buying
(save of course, when you have to go
or send to Lexington for your "wet
goods.'') The duty of Paris citizens
in the matter is plain, and where ali
other things are equal, support should
be given to the local dealers. Our
merchants have invested their capital
here, have erected buildings which
are almost metropolitan in their
character and service. They have
helped to build up Paris, and it is
only fair return that they have the
city's trade. To turn trade otherwise,
even in the line of small purchases
which are great in the aggregate, is
to invite the decline of property val
ues in Paris.

The Case of Pippkins Will Do to illus
trate the Point.
"My neighbOr, Pippkins, has changed
his manner of vacation" declares Ed
ward Hungerford in EverybOdy's. ''In
other years his annual outing was a
rather pOrtentOus affair. The family
began to plan 1t some months in ad-
vance. There were railroad and
steamboat and hotel booklets on the
library table. When the time came
Mrs. Pippkins and the girls went to a
huge wooden hotel on the edge of a
lake. They dressed three times day.
When PippkinS ran down on one Fri
day Of each fortnight he boarded a
hot, dusty, Overcrowded train and rode
for five uncomfortable hours. They
insisted that he don a Tuxedo each
evening for dinner. He used to Won

candle.
To-day there are no such doubts in
Pippkins' mind. He has car-sO have

street. Pippkins caught the fever ear
ly in the game. Today he is veteran
and hardened motorist. He talks
earnestly and learnedly of gears and
Of transmission, and he is superlative-
ly critical of every car except his own.
1 might write story upon how that
car and its predecessors in the Pipp-
kins family have changed their very
soul, but this is not the time nor place.
Sufficient is 1t to say that Pippkins is
now motor expert, and DR.. King
down at our corner says that Pippkins
has grown ten years younger.
MRS. Pippkins and the girls have all
but forgotten when they have been on
a railroad train in summer. They live
in the family car.

all the private conversation intended
for some other party on the line.
One of the women was telling about
how mean someone in her neighber-
hood had been. To use her own
language, this somebody will "talk
to some other fool somebody for half
an hour, and never say anything,
either, worth listening to, and here l
will be nearly wild wanting to get
the line to order things from Paris
or to tell Tom what I want him to
bring home with him. Are you both
cred that way?"
The other woman replied: well.
dear, / used to be, but am not any
more. A friend of mine who is con-
nected with the telephone service told
me how to put on a choker, and will
tell you. You may have noticed those
two metal knobs at the top of the
instrument. Well, they are there
whether you have noticed them or
not. Now, when somebody has used
the line about twice as long as they
should, I just connect up those two
knobs with short piece of wire.
Then in minute or two 1 take off
the short circuit and then I can get
central. I used to feel as if 1 wanted
to say bad words, but now let the
gossips feel that way"
There may be a more scientific
way of overcoming the difficulty, but
to the INITIATED, this plan looks SIM
pie and good enough. Business
houses are too often annoyed by the
telephone-user, who deliberately
camps in front of the instrument
and uses up all the available atmos-
phere in the room in detailing a lot
of "mushy" stuff to some feminine
infant at the other end Of the line.

 Large Cargoes.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Unit ed States shipping commission has announced that specifications will soon by ready for a standard type of wooden-hull ship for the govern ment fleet.

Initial Shipment from Nome Will Be Made This Summer by
 Steamer.
FLESH IS PALATABLE
Whale Steaks and Chops Will No Doubt Be a Great DeliCaCy
 in States.

SEATTLE, May 3.--"How will you have your whale meat? We have some nice broiled finback, fricassed silver bottom, roast humpback and choice steaks. The white whale stew is very fine"
 This will be the greeting in Se- attle's restaurants if the latest plan for combating the high cost of liv- ing. suggested by a veteran of Cape Nome, Alaska, is accepted.
 Officials of the Alaska Steamship Company today were a bit aston- ished when they received a request for freight rates on whale meat from Nome to Seattle. They called in their rate experts and after search through the voluminous tariffs of the company were unable to find q published charge for such a ship ment, so a new rate for the crn- signment wifi have to be made.
 The request for rate on white whale meat was made by Ben Ny gren, of Peluk, Alaska, little set clement between the city of Nome and Cape Nome. Nygren has been bagging the white whale off Cape Nome for several years and says the meat is fine Indians and Eski- r os of the Far North have eaten whale meat for a long time and con. sider it a real delicacy.
 The first shipment of whale meat will be brought to Seattle this sunl- mer by the Alaska Steamship Con- pany's liner Victoria. Nygren says that he will have no difficulty in selling it, as there is ready mar ket among the Japanese.
 Give white whale meat fancy name, cook it right and anybody can eat it. said a veteran of tine Northern seas today. There are lots of things we have to learn 70 eat, and white whale meat is one of them. It will probably be g long time before the finback, silverbot- tom, humpback and sperm are eat en in this part of the world but white whale meat seems reasonable. A lot of persons can't eat bear meat and opossum at first, but they are soon educated"
