HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
BY c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
EVERY ONE ARE"

THERE Is always a strong ten
dency among writer's or speakers
to make a verb agree In number
with the noun that is nearest to the
verb in position in the sentence. For
example, many persons use such SEN
fences as the following: Every n
of these letters were signed by me-"
without recognizing the grammatical
error involved.
The subject (~nominative) Of the SEN
tence is not "letters," but 'one," modi-
fed by "eyery." One is in the singular
number and requires, therefore, a
singular verb. Letters" is in the OBJ
~jective case, governed by the preposi-
ton, "of." You cannot say, Every
one were signed" and the use Of the
phrase ''of the letters" does not
change the grammatical rule involved.
Therefore, instead Of saying EVERY
| a OF these letters were signed by
me-" say every one Of these letters
was signed by me-"
or course, the same rule applies to
"each." Do not say, Each Of these
| letters are mine ;" say, each Of these
; letters is mine."

NOT ON BREAD ALONE

THERE Is within all Of us an
ever-groWing appetite which
Graves substantial nourishmen.
for the soul.
A sumptuous table heaped with
palatable d~elicacies fails utterly to
satisfy this hunger.
With all our carnal gluttony we
find ourselves at certain periods of
our existence yearning for spiritual
food.
Wealth and luxury leave but an
emptiness; poverty and sorrow DIS
tress and harden our hearts; the
world Is a cheat-a bauble that eludes
us and leaves us in v~agueness.
we may be talebearers, liars and
thieves, but In our serious moments
there comes upon us an overwhelm-
Ing longing for something that will
appease our appetite, besides bread
alone. +Fts
We wish for the %sustenance in
which Truth and Mercy are blended,
that our souls may be satiated, and
our fever cooled. In ten thousand
delectable forms it is spread out be-
for us, but we rebel against accept
ing 1t.
Though we may be starving and
weak to the point of falling we re-
fuse to eat.
In our misery and WEAKNESS we
crave the everlasting Voice Of Nature
to lull us to sweet repose, yet in
strange perverseness we fight to keep
awake.
From all around us the call
to the feast.
It comes from the silent starry
nights; from the boisterous days
from the ~shimmering silver streams

With sudden speed he mounted high

Above the sea again.

THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER I. ROBINSON.
CT re OFTEN stood beside
II his gate.
An hOnest-faced old

An honest-faced old
man."
The unknown author Of these
lines, introduces a character
known to everyone and generally
loved. In every community
there may be found the aged man,
with the happy, smiling face.
The world has not showered a
great amount OF wealth upon
him. He has gone through
trouble and sickness. He leans
upon his worn cane before the
humble dwelling and he smiles
and chats in his quaint fashion
whenever one passes the gate.
Many who are more fortu-
nate than he feel more cheerful
when they receive his greeting.
They understand that he has
come to the evening Of his life.
without piling up riches and
without winning wide honor.
They are battling increasingly
to win both. They cannot find
the. cause for the peaceful look
on the old mans face. They
cannot imagine anyone being
happy in his declining years
without accomplishing much
that they aim to gain.
II one asked this familiar
character to explain the cause
for his apparent content, he
probably could not comply with
the request. The reason ID so
simple that even he does not
recognize It.
!. He has acquired what neither
money nor honor can buy. HI
has lived an honest life and
looks the world squarely In the
face. Countless. persons are his
trustful friends. Lacking much
that others possess, he neverthe-
less has q clear conscience and
his mind Il at rest. The smiles
he receives from the populace
are the blessings which his own
open-hedrted friendliness he's
brought him to bring sunshine
Into his few remaining days or
years.
The world needs to catch the
spirit OF his kindly old soul.
One Is poor indeed. regardless Of
his accumulation Of gold or his
poverty, X he approaches the
end Of the path WITHOUT sincere
friends

F. W. Peterson Of Fargo Visit.
With Sister, Both Fifty
Fighters

The o. A. Norman family had visit
from F. w. Peterson of Fargo last
week. Mr.. Peterson is brother Of
Mrs. O. A. Norman. Both were chill
dren of Samuel Peterson, the early
Lake Elizabeth pioneer, who came to
this county in 1858, and lived there
until driven out by the Indians in
1862. Mr. Peterson was at that time
a little boy and Mrs. Norman girl
six years old. They cherish many
memories from those pioneer days.
The Indians were common visitors IN
the Peterson home at that time. The
elder Peterson had a curiosity for
those days in his cabin, large cue
koo clock. The Indians were very
suspicious of this mechanical conti-
vance and would sit On the cabin floor
lone intervals just to see the cuckoo
clock perform. They imagined that
the clock was possessed by an evil
spirit. After the outbreak, when Mr..
Peterson went back from Anoka TO
see what he could gather up of value
on his claim, he found that the In
dams had taken out the clock from
the cabin and broken it up. No parts
had been carried away and the pieces
were taken to Anoka but were never
assembled again.
The younger Peterson went to Far
go. where he became interested in
business way, has prospered and IS
now one of the substantial citizens OF
that city.
