MEANS DEATH OF GRAMMAR
New hue Which Has Abolished For
NAL and Elaborate English Style
of Former Days.

English as commonly written today
certainly seems to have lost the purity
and strength that it had century ago,
observes the Spokane Spokesman Re
view. Then such masters of the Ian
guage as Cobbe, Coleridge, DeQuincey
or Hazlitt were journalists as well as
poets or essayists, and their leading
articles lost nothing of effect on the
public from being literature.
The arrival of the age Of steam, cleo
tricity and cheap postage was followed
by change, not for the better, in the
popular style Of speaking and writing.
"Say what you have to say as briefly
and quickly as possible, and don't
bother about fineness of expression
became the general rule and practice.
The new millions of readers demanded
that their reading be expressed In the
language of everyday speech. The
obligation of COMPRISING conclusions
about important matters into LOCO
words, or fewer, Is death, in the end,
to style. The literary form favored is
in touch with the turned-up-trousers
fashion of wearing ones clothing. II
is free and easy and crammed with
linguistic atrocities. Plural subjects
are polygamously welded to singular
verbs, and Lindley Murray turns in his
grave on account Of the death of gram
mar.

STILL FAITHFUL TO STUARTS7
Prctender Of that Line to Britain's
Throne Is Now Prince Rupert
of Bavaria.

There was once to be found In Brit
ain little group of romantic senti-
mentalists who remained faithful to
the Stuart line, and celebrated on JAM
uary 80 kind of Jacohitei feast day.
"a writer in Living Age remembers
seeing postage stamps bearing the ike
ness of the ''pretender," who happened
to be princess Of Bavaria. These
were attached to the envelope by the
side Of the official postage stamp, thus
constituting a source of annoyance to
the serious minded Victoria.
Since the death Of his mother Maria
Theresa of Bavaria, few weeks ago,
ex-Prince Rupert of Bavaria is now
the official Stuart pretender to the
throne of Great Britain. The muse of
history has ever had leaning toward
irony.

the constable went back to the pasture
with me, yawning with his hand over

con leaned his elbow on the top Of
the pen and snored again, lightly,
while I mixed the feed for the pigs.
Mr.. Hacket met us at the kitchen
door, where Deacon Binks said to him:
"If you'll look after the boy today
I'll 60 home and get a little rest"
"God bless yer soul, We had busy

In an hour or So" said Mr.. Wright as
he gave me his hand. "You may look
for me here soon after the close of the
session. Take care Of yourself and go
often to see Mrs. Wright and obey
your captain and remember me to your
aunt and uncle"
"See that you keep coming, my good
boy" said the president as he gave me
his hand, with playful reference, no
doubt, to Mr.. Wright's remark that /
was coming man.
"Bart, I've some wheat to be
thrashed in the barn on the back lot"
said the senator as I was leaving
them. "You can do it Saturdays, if
you care to, at shilling an hour.
Stack the straw out of doors until
you've finished, then put it back In the
bay. Winnow the wheat carefully and
sack it and bring it down to the grap-
airy and I'll settle with you when ,
return"
l remember that number of meH
who worked in Grimshaw's sawmill
were passing as he spoke.
"Yes, sir" answered, much elated
by the prospect of earning money.
The examination of Amos was set
down for Monday and the people of
the village were stirred and shaken
by widest rumors regarding the evil
dence to be adduced. Every day men
and women stopped me in the street
to ask what l knew of the murder. I
followed the advice Of Bishop Per-
kins and kept my knowledge to myself.
Saturday came, and when the chores
were done went alone to the grain
barn in the back lot of the senator's
farm with fail and measure and broom
and fork and shovel and sacks and my
luncheon, in a pushcart, with all Of
which Mrs. Wright had provided me.
1t was lonely place with woods
on three sides of the field and road
on the other. / kept laying down
beds of wheat on the barn floor and
beating them out with the fail until
the sun was we'll over the roof when
sat down to eat my luncheon. Then
swept up the grain and winnewed
out. the chaff and filed one of my
sacks. That done, covered the floor
again and the thump of the fail eased
my loneliness until in the middle Of
the afternoon two of my schoolmates
came and asked me to go swimming
with them. The river was not forty
rods away and good trail led to the
swimming hole. 1t was warm, bright
day and l was hot and thirsty. The
thought of cool waters and friendly
companionship was too much for me.
I went with them and stayed with
them longer than intended. l re-
member saying as I dressed that l
should have to work late and go with
out my supper in order to finish my
stint.
1t was almost dark when was put
ting the last sack of wheat into my
cart, in the gloomy barn and getting
ready to go.

the leading merchant Of the village
engaged me to post his books every
Saturday at ten cents an hour. Thence
forward until Christmas gave my
free days to that task. I estimated
the sum that I should earn and

proudly present 1t to my aunt anc

THE WEATHER IN MAY.

The month of May, 1919, will long be
remembered for it's almost ideal weather
conditions. The number of clear, sunny
days was exceptionally large and if it
had not been for the burning heat of the
last week Of the period, with its lack of
precipitation the farmers would have
had nothing to complain about, apart
from the. lateness of the season brought
about by the chilly spells in April.
The monthly report of the local
meteorological observer, Alex Henle,
shows that the mean temperature for
the month just passed was about the
same as last year, $50 degrees Fahren-
heit. The maximum was very high,
climbing up to 80 degrees on the 18th
and 10th of the month, while the mini
mum remained around the freezing point.
This was almost reached the fore part
OF the month, May 2, with "a degrees
above zero. Two light night frosts are
recorded and three hail storms are
registered. No damage was done by
the latter.
Nearly two-thirds of the days were
clear, eighteen of them being recorded,
while six were partly cloudy and seven
cloudy. The prevailing wind came from
the south.
