How to Pronounce "Ellhu

Those bold western reporters nave Il
way OF asking questions which their
eastern brothers are too dinident to
put.
How IA your first name pronounced!
said a reporter in Cincinnati to Elihu
Root Mr.. Root was more patient with
the reporter than tho ancient Elshu WAS
with Job. He said:
IN our family 1t always has been tho
custom 10 call Il 'El-a-hem. with the
accent on the first syllable. l suppose
according TO the best Biblical authori-
ties. 1t should have the accent on the
second syllable. but ! always lave
followed our family custom in pro-
nouncinG It."
Elihu spake. moreover. and said that
the last syllable should never be pro-
nounced hoo" This agrees with the
authorities on Scriptural pronunciation.
So you may call the name as the
ancents did or as most modern folk
do and h" right either way. But IN
some other noted Biblical names still
worn by distinguished men there has
been no change through tho ages. In
