HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
!, By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"PERSONS" AND "PEOPLE."

THE word persons" used to in
i dicate q number or a gathering
Of human beings, is numerical; the
word people" is collective. The diff
ference in the use Of the words may
be illustrated more easily by giving
examples than by discussing the gram
matical principles involved.
We say, correctly, Three persons
entered the theater," not, "Three peo-
pie entered the theater." But we
should not say or write, There was
q crowd of persons In the theater";
say, "There was a crowd of people,"
The rector vas asked, "HOw many
can be seated in your church," He
replied, "We can seat comfortably
about one thousand persons, but If an
unusual crowd of people wishes to at
tend the services we can accommodate
more than a thousand" The Standard
Dictionary says, 1T would be quite
out of place to say, The pastor de-
sires to meet the young persons of
the church."

at the Right Time

obligatory. Boiled eggs are served in
egg cups and not in a glass as in the
old messy manner, and it is proper to
eat them directly from the shell. AS
every housewife knows eggs have a
way of discoloring silver spoons and
there is no reason why they should
not be eaten with the small bone
spoons that come especially for that
purpose.
1t is now taken for granted that
the persons gathered around the break
fast table have none too much time
to spend; therefore more leniency Is
permitted in manne perhaps than
at dinner which is the leisurely meal
Of the day. For instance, If n per-
son does not care for fruit, 1t is not
discourteOuS for him to proceed to
cereal or eggs or whatever his break
fast consists of. Moreover there is
no reason why we should make an
effort toward uniformity in break
fasts and If one member wishes to
omit any n or more dishes he need
make no effort to overcome his pref.
udice, whereas we do try to take
the courses as they come at dinner.

Angeles was q Greek word meaning

It first became a name in the Bryan
tium empire when 1t vas bestowed as
an epithet upon persons of surprising
beauty.
1t was applied most often as a mas
culine name and there was a Carmel
lite saint called Angelo, who estab-
lished 1t as a baptismal name. In his
honor, the feminine also became popu-
lar and Italian history records many
instances Of its use.
Angelica sprang to fame since it
named the faithless lady of romance
for whose sake Orlando lost his heart
and his senses. Though she was the
hvention of Boiardo and Ariosto, the
romantic flavor which the story gave
her name brought Angelica to instant
favor. England liked the name and

Not Much Change To Kansas Farmcl
In Fifty Years, Says Mohler.

Problems before the Kansas farmer
today, altho more intricate, are much
the same as they were fifty years ago
when the state board of agriculture
was created, according to J. Z. Mohler,
secretary. In preparation for the
semi celebration of organ
lied agriculture in this state, at the
Kansas agricultural convention here
came across the following resolutions,
which were adopted at the first con-
vention, March rs, 1873:
Resolved, That organization is the
great want of the producing classes at
the present time and we recommend
every farmer in the state to become
member of some farmers organiza-
ton.
Resolved. That the taxes assessed
and charged upon the people by ma
tional, state and local governments
are oppressive and unjust and beyond
tration of government.
Resolved, That we earnestly re-
quest the legislature, at its next ses-
sion, to enact a law regulating freights
and fares on our railroads upon ba-
sis of justice, and we urge upon con-
gress to take action to the same end
or. if need be, to construct national
highways at the expense of the gov
eminent.
Resolved, That the act passed by
the legislature, eAemptlnS DondS,
mortgages and judgments from taxa
ton is unjust, oppressive and a palpa-
BILE violation of our state constitution
and we call upon ali assessors and
county boards to see that said securi-
ties are taxed at their full value.
Resolved, That for the speedy and
thoro accomplishment of all this. We
pledge each other to ignore all politi-
cal prejudiceS that have swayed us
hitherto to our hurt, and support only
such men for office as are known to
be true to our interests"

lyou, in charge of boxing in Philadel-
phia, wired.
1--WE believe boxing commissions
should control prices in order to check
promoters and protect the public. The
amounts fixed should be left to indi-
vidual commissions TO decide on local
conditions" said L. H. Lightcap, chair
man of the Ohio boxing commission:
| I'VE fix prices in this state and find
it q practical policy"
1--WE insist upon several hundred one
dollar seats. We have never set a
limit on seats, but the highest price
ever charged has been $40. We have
repeatedly asked the promoters to re-
duce prices to benefit the real fans
who can't pay high rates. The pro-
moters benefit in the long run, as they
always have capacity houses" the
