"Thro away the blu bakt speller
What's the uee of eny feller
Wasting eny time lit learning
What old. Webster had to say?
For our Teddy's Joined with Andy
Saying, ‘Just whatever’s handy
Is the proper way of spellln.*
Bo we'll use Josh Billings’ way."
“A-fi-d-r-e-s-t—addrest, they ust to
spell It 'addressed,”’ he murmured.
"A-c-c-u-r-e-t means 'accursed. 1 (Ah.,
I'm glad they have that word In the
list. It cornea In handy), catalog—-I’m
getlng ust to that; Kum-ln—”
The reporter entered. He had been
sitting up half the night learning to
talk according tp the new spelling. In
his troubled dreams familiar words like
"anaesthesia" and "catalogue" and
"encyclopaedia” has chased each other
about his bed, some looking as if they
had been amputated as their'posterior,
extremity while others wore bandages
about their middle and looked like an
appendicitis convalescent. All bore a
pained expression, none looked like
the same old friend.
All Rite, Saye Brittin.
"What du you think of this Karnagy
spelling, Mr. Brittin?" asked the re
porter. "Dux It luk good to you or ant
it? Kan yu talk It free hand or du yu
hat'to use notes? Kan yu rite it on a
typewriter? Will common tlpe do or
wont It r
"Why, It Is all rite," replied Mr. Brit
tains only 300 wurds, tho that Is Just
not so bad as yu talk It. The list con-
taalns only 300 wurds, tho that Is Just
ths begtnlng.
'But Karnagy didn’t du It In the first
place. It was the Nashunal Educash-
anal Assoslashun, komposed of all the
educators In the kuntry, who appointed
a kummltty to Investigate spelling and
report. The kummltty plkt out twelv
wurdx for the nlautOr, among which
are 'program,' 'thru' and uthera. The
movement wua given an Impetus when
Karnagy tuk It up and now that Rozy-
velt has bekum Interested and put It In
the government kummlcashuns I think
It will beku n more general.
“Edukatori all over the kuntpy have
faut over th‘. matter and It has been
diskust In many meetings. The trends
of the movement ganed their point and
had a kommltty appointed and this
kommlty chose twe,v wurdx which hav
been adopted by the osaoclashun. I
think It Is hilt the be inlng of a move
ment which will eventually do much
to slmpllft spelling, but I believe It will
take meny years. The nuspapers and
magaxens hav not helpt us much. They
•tick to the old stile."
Gud Thing, 8aye Rogers.
The reporter climbed the steps to
the capltol and began a search for Wil
liam B. Merritt, state school commis
sioner, but that gentleman had taken
to the woods with n spelling book,
leaving no address behind him. Hie
assistant, J. N. Rogers, was left a vic
tim for the sacrifice. He sighed as he
turned to the newspaper man. first
hastily hiding a printed list of the fatal
300 words under a dictionary which
bore marks of revisions In lead pencil.
"Yes, It Is a gud thing,” he remark
ed. “The change Is not haf so radlkal
as Xoa Webster made when he wrote
the dlkshunary. Yu no Karnagy wunc
eed that he had sens enuf to hire men
to du things who had'more sens than
he had. He furnlsht the muny and his
kommltty furnlsht the reform. It wax
a fine comblnaahun. I think the skul
buk publishers will Inkorporat the
changes In their nu buks. The slm-
g llflkashun of spelling will be gradual,
ut the Hat will gro until many wurdx
are changed. Now, It It's all the same
to yu let's talk linked States. I'm
afrade the Janltoy will kum in and
kach me at thia.”
Changes Will Be Slow.
The expressions of the two experts on
education were that the changes In
spelling, carefully considered by the
committee entrusted with the work,
would be generally adopted, but that
the process of assimilation would be
slow. The adoption of the new list by
the government departments and the
use of simplified words by the postof-
flees In all their communications would
undoubtedly have Its result. Already
some of the magazines have adopted
simplified spelling In certain cases, us
ing "thru", for "through,” "catalog" for
“catalogue" and "program” for "pro
gramme," with similar changes In kin
dred words. It Is believed, however,
that few radical changes will be made
In the language for a generation or
two.
So don’t throw away your
abridged Just yet. It will still serve In
most cases.

October 18’will be German Day at
the fair. •
So It was decided after a consulta
tion between the officers of the Fair
Association and a committee from the
Oerman-American Society of Atlanta.
It Is believed-that Germans will gath
er In Atlanta from all parts of the
South and from every city In Georgia
so as to celebrate fittingly the day and
show their loyalty to "der Vaterland"
as well as to the land, of their adop
tion.
The program of entertainment haa
not been fully decided upon, although
It Is known’ that there will be ad
dresses during the day by prominent
German-Americans delivered both In'
English and in the native tongue. Tho
festivities will be brought to a close
by a reception and dance In the even-
?he German-American Society of
Atlanta has accomplished much since
Its organisation In bringing together
the Germans of this section and It Is
believed that German Day will greatly
help to further the good work.' It Is
also the desire of the society to wipe
out the Impression created by a num
ber of adverse and false reports which
have spread throughout the East and
even through Germany that the con-*
dftlon of the Germans In the South Is
deplorable. These reports are both
detrimental to Immigration and an In
justice to the Germans who have made
their homes In the South.

At 8 o'clock Monday morning the
atate rifle shoot on the rifle range at

Washington, Aug. 27.—The White

have pulled up the stake of their

with their squaws and papoose* are

vices to this effect have Just been re
ceived by Francis E. Leupp, commis
sioner of Indian affairs.
It means that Commissioner Deupp
has a peaceful uprising on his hands,
and he does not Know what he’s going
to do about It. A few days ago It was
reported that the Ute warriors had
gone on the war path but this. It ap
pears, Is not, true. As the lltes are
accompanied by their women folks and
the children, It Is certain that they are
not on a marauding expedition.
