THIRD STUDY.

1t is not the sole aim in undermining the English
language merely to shorten words to save time in
writing them, to save printer S ink. 1t is of
far greater Importance to reduce the irregularities
and inconsistencies that hav grown into it in the
course of years, to correct the errors in bOrrOwd
words, and more particularly to amend the spell
ings of words that each letter us d has its COM
monty accepted power. But in som words of
Englo-Saxon origin there still are retand certain
letters or combinations of letters which hav either
lost their sonant value entirely or else the sound
of the spoken word has so chang d that the orig
inal combination no longer represents the actual
sound. In these words the useless letters should
be dropt in the interest of simplicity as well as of
regularity Likewise when the sounds hav rad
ically chang'd, the proper letters should be sub
stituted, so that the sounds of the word shall be
represented according to modern usage, just as
the word is spoken today. The old EngloSaxon
was full of harsh, throaty sounds, which ortho-
epists call gutturals. 1t is chiefly these harsh.
choking sounds that hav been eliminated from the
pronunciation Of modern English words, either by
dropping them altogether or by softening them
to more euphonius sounds.
In our first study we considered four words of
this group, which formerly containd gutturals
namely, though (thoh): through (thruh), thought
(thoht), and thorough (thoroh). They plac't
in the first study instead of this for two rea
sons. First, becaus they resembl each other so
closely that they ar easily mistaken one for an
other Second, becaus they ar so often used, and
20 many attempts hav been made by the piece-rneal
reformers to shorten them, all Of which hav been
un-English, and therefore hav resulted in mutt
lation Of the language instead Of simplifcation.
They az 81 sufficient importance, becaus Of these
reasons to justify separat treatment thoh, Of
course, they belong to the classes Of words we ar
now taking up in this study We dropt the gut
tural combinations in these words leaving only
one silent letter. the use Of which is to modify the
vowel sound in the word. In the second study we
considerd regular verbs, discovering their rules
for past tense forms and simplifying the same by
strictly English methods We also added vat
3 nabl Bit Of knowledg to the subject Of English
grammar BY discovering that English verbs have
three regular conjugations, and setting forth the
rules Of infection for each. II shall be our study

brought, thought -. ''bought', caught
etc, to replace the older forms given abov
Since We wish to drop the useless letters, nothing
is easier or more scientific than to spell these
words as the original EnglO-Saxon forms wer
spelt, emitting of course, the final silent which
is now useless becaus no longer pronOunc t. This

sounds in cultural combinations which ar not now

TITLED ENGLISH LADY
ARRIVES AT MINDEN

Startling as was the announce
ment that Mary Pickford had been
granted a decree of divorce at Min
den, 1t remained for the coming of
Lady Hatfield of England, to the
seat of Douglas county government
TO draw the spotlight of the interest
of nations to the Nevada town, says
the Carson City News.
Lady Hadfeld, accompanied by a
maid and Judge S. S. Downer of
Reno arrived in Reno Tuesday. A
waiting limousine took Lady Had
field and her attorney from the sta
ton to the Minden Inn. The maid
and the hotel porter remained at the
station long enough to see to the un-
loading of baggage, which consisted
of eighteen trunks, a large leather
hat box and numerous suitcases, and
their transfer to the suite of rooms
that had been reserved in advance
for occupancy for the titled lady.
1t was impossible to elicit any in
formation whatever concerning the
coming Lady Hadfield from the Inn
manager, but in spite of denials OF
knowledge of any guest of that
name, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the wife of the big steel
magnate OF England has changed her
place of residence from the Hadfield
estate in Suffield and the town house
in London to the widely known hos
telry in the Carson Valley town. 1t
Is assumed from the amount of bag
gage brough that her stay in this
state will be of several months dura-
ton.
