THE BETTER LANGUAGE
Many und many u year Hgo,
When we old folks were joonp
In giving language to out thoughtc,
We used our mother longue.
But now the ago liac> grown so hist
The old words are forgot.
And nothing will suffice us now
But slang that is red hot.
In those old times we never laid
Of Joe or Tom or Bill,
In speaking of their penmanship,
"lie slings a nasty qniil.”
In speaking of a man of sense,
“Ilis judgment’s good they enid:
Put now they mv, " l’he old sardine
Has got a level head.”
Once angry words would lead to blows:
But now when ‘‘a galoot”
•‘Gives too much chin,” or -‘pure cn frills,
We‘‘paste him in the snoot.”
In sorrow then they spok of death.
With pale and trembling lips:
But now. "lie’s handed m his checks,”
Or, • The <iutler slipped hie grip."
Then, a-= they grasped a friendly hand,
They said, llow do yon do t ’
But no v. "What have you got that’- fresh * v
Or, “Well o and chap, what’s new f”
Then, "lie pla\e billiards well,’’ we said
Of one excelled by few:
Bat now, "Well, lie is not a slouch;
He shoves a healthy cue."
Once on a time a man daneed well—
Alas ! tis so no more;
"He’s just the boy can shake himself
When you boost him on the floor.”
A man oncejnsed to lunch
When eating time drew near;
But now he’ll "wrastle with his hash,”
Or "tackle his daily beer.”
Old friends in meeting used to pledge
Each other In a cup;
But now it is, "Here’s to yer, Bill 1"
And, "George, just hung that up ”
Oil .give me'bnck those good old days,
When both old and y< nog
Used none hut true old-fashioned words,
And slang was never slung.
Mr. Maxon Gets Elected—How
his Wife found it Out
James Maxon is a duly initiated
and valiant Knight of Pythias, resid
ing on F< uth street. The other
night he leL home, telling Mrs. Max
on that he was going to the lodge.
About half past eight o’clock two well
dressed nu n rug the dow-bel, and
nli-'ii Mrs. Maxon appeared they in
irodueed themselves as companion
Knights at Pythias. They said the
lodge liad just held an election, and
that Mr. M txon had been unanimous
ly call and to the chancellor’s chair
the highest position in the lodge.
They had been duly appointed, in ac
cordance with the custom which is
peculiar to the order, to inform her of
the disdiiguiuned honor tla' had 1 e m
conferred on her husband, ami to so
licit In r consent to his acceptance
of the office, another stipulation pecu
liar only to the Knights of Pythias
Mr. Maxon, they said, according to
their rule would hold the office for
three years, and would receive an an
nual salary of $1,162, this being the
exact amount according to the trib
ute livied on each knight by the stipe
rior council.
Mrs. Maxon was overjoyed, thank
ed the courteous gentlemen who had
meanwhile saeted themselves in the
parlor—and gave her freest consent
to the acceptance of the high and lu
crative office conferred upon her
worthy husband. The visitors rose
to leave, and as they were about to
with Iravv with all the thoroughbred
etiquett of thorough gentlemen, one
of the*., so 'tenlx remark' and: “Oh !by
the way, Mr> M ixon, 1 do. sf r jot
to giv. tu tbi .vl . Mu <s
'peeiaiis impressed it- upon me no: to
forget Hs deliver ’ A lituri dly
written note was handed to Mrs.
Maxon, an I excusing herself she re
tired to the lighted p arlor and read:
“Deau Wile: 1 have been selected
from among 375 members of my
lodge to act as chaiicell r, a fiatter
j mg office worth nearly $1,200 a year.
| L is always customary for the newly
I electe i chancellor to turnish refresh
meets for Hie knights, j. have only
jss with me. Please send tut ai
least SSO, for I must do the thing up
well. Send SIOO H yon have it iian
iiy, or borrow it of the neighbors. It
will all come back when I get my
first mouths wages—sloo.
“Your loving husband,
James Maxon."
Mrs. Maxon’s eyes opened, and she
thought a moment. Then she went
lo ti wardrobe, plunged her hand in
to tne pocket of her black silk dress,
pulled out ti pretty Russia leather
purse, and from its snugly tucked-up
corner, took a bill. It looked nice
and fresh, and had in big figures up
on it .“$100.” Going to the door, she
inquired of the waiting gentlemen,
“Will you take the money to him ?”
The fine-looking fellow who handed
her the note, professing not to know
what was in it, spoke up, “Oh, cer
tainly, certainly, I il see that he gets
it safely. Glad to accommodate you,
madam.”
.Sai l Mrs. Maxon, I have only a j
SIOO bill, and James wants but $50,;
and besides that 1 don’t wish to send j
the whole of it. AVill you get it;
changed lor me, please ?”
The two gentlemen consulted a mo-1
meut, and then said, “Oh, we have
change. Straightway t hey made up j
SSO, and gave it to Mrs. M. in ex-!
changp for the bill, and wishing heraj
very good night, retired with all the
$2.50 A YEAR
elegance, prace and manliness chitrac
tcristic of the noble Pythian-Knfehts.
In about twenty minutes Mr. Max
on came home. “Why,” said his
wife, ‘T thought you were entertain
ing your knightly asßociutes. I didn’t
expect you before m idnight,:considijr
iug the amount of tuouey ycu*wanted
for your feast.”
“What do you mean?” [inquired
Mr. Maxonjl don’t understand yea.”
“Why didn’t yon selnd this?” said
Mrs. M. as she note.
‘ Right aftei you left two very clever
looking gcdtleuien and said
you had been elected to some high
office.—chancellor, I think—and I, of
course?’'—
Muxon, who had glanced over “'ho
no’e and discovered
ijcaultUcd, “You gave it to them?
Why, its a diabolical swindle. Did
you give them any money? How
much?” . .. ~, ,
“Why, I.gavc them a hundred dol
lar bill and they gave me fifty dollars
in change. Herefitjs.”
Mrs. Maxon in a despairing way
took the money and carelessly glanced
it over at first, then more eagerly,
scanning each bill carefully. “Well,
well," sai lhe at, last, “this‘is a doub
le outrage. Why, all this money is
counterfeit except two five dollar
notes! Bui where in the name of
e unmon sense did you ever get a
SIOO bill. You didn’t borrow that of
t e neighbors did you ?”
“No,” said Mrs. Maxon, who ap
peared t-> her husband to be strangely
undisturbed, “I took that §IOO not'e
you gave me about a year ago. Don’t
you remember?. You told me to look
out and not tofspend it.”
“Why t hat’ a counterfeit! ’ said the
husband. <
“I. knoWgit was. Did you suppose
I didn t tea through their stupid
game, Mr. Maxon ? Your wife isn’t
a fool if she is a woman. Give rUo
them two good $5 bills, if you please.
I just want anew bonnet.”
Kk *F’ “C-c-c-cau that" 7 p-p-p-parrot
talk?” asked it stuttering man i of a
German. “Veit he don’t talk so goot
er as you,® I sebep, by turn, his head
off.”

pgr One cannot easily get away
from the effect of advertising. If a
man advertises that his stock is fresh
and fashionable, it is difficulty to be
lieve that he has not ready a finer

affect the natural qualities of a hu
