Some Vagaries of English.
Sleeping Out-of-Doors—
The Sugar at the Bottom

lice—The V audeville
Laugh.
A number of us have been rather
edified by finding in a prominent pe
riodical a dissertation on the vagaries
of English as the negroes speak it,
and to recognize in the little para
graph sayings, published in a promi
nent periodical, we had thought pe
culiarly local. For instance, all the
world knows that it was on Greene
street in Augusta, and not on a street
in Macon as the article credits it, that
the negro girl when questioned as to
her movements replied, “I’s gwine
wlyr I’s gwine. Dat's whar I’s
gwine.” And southerners everywhere
find perfectly intelligible the "Whar
he?” and the “Whar hoo" the author
of the article thinks so closely akin
to Sanscrit. But we think none of
these twistificatlons of the English
language can equal the negro’s fre
quent misapprehension of oertain
words used by others.
For instance, this. The little dar
key who does errands about the
house answered the telephone, and

came back to his mistress with the
grave announcement that a Triend had
requested over the line the loan of
"The little, red, dry chest.” The
dusky Mercury’s mistress wa's very
much puzzled. “Are you sure you
understood her? I am sure I don’t
know what she could mean, for there
is no such thing in the house as a
red chest of any kind. And dry chest,
what can that ho? Go back —but no,
I guess I'd better see for myself.”
Whereupon these words were heard
over the ’phone: “Of course I’ll lend
it to you with pleasure, but what is

Have you begun to find the nights
sultry? Well, why don’t you follow
the most excellent example of a group
of young men who have elected to
sleep out-of-doors all summer?
There is no physical reason for
these young Augustans following a
mode of procedure laid down as de
sirable for invalids. That is, they
are perfectly sound in wind and limb
and all that, and they have superb
constitutions; but they do not find it
convenient to go away for the warm
weather and so they have accepted
what small opportunity for change
they can get right here at home.
But after all is it a small oppor
tunity? To sleep under the high
arching canopy of heaven, to breathe

air perfumed with that rarest and fin
est of all incense, the fragrance of
the pines, to make one’s couch on a
height so great that there are no mos
quitoes anywhere around and where
there is never a cessation or breezes
constantly blowing! All this is to
know a certain rapture of living that
at the same time does not preclude a
close attention to business every day.
Now doth sweet summer dream her
sweetest dream;
With full-fringed lids half closed
against the sun
And thirsting lips, she nods beside the
stream
Within whose silent bed no waters
run.
Full wearily she stretcheth now her
limbs; *
Anon her brea-st is stirred with lan
guid sighs;
Lulled by the murmur of slow forest
hymns,
She draws the shadows with her
drowsing eyes.
And, all above, her busy hands have
made
A W'oven covert of green boughs
that keep
The semblance of a painted arch
whose shade
Falls on the ground like an en
chanted sleep.

The woman with ambitions outside
of the home and the woman who
finds her all in her home will alike
be interested in knowing that she ac
counts for her content, her more than
happiness, not by wide fame, memo
ries of great days dead, honors and
social richness of days present, but
in this wise; “You see my husband
was a very great man, and I had
very dear children, and I have de
lightful grandchildren, and I have two
great grandchildren—and I am very
fond of little children.”
She was giving a Japanese party,
this pretty little Greene street, maid,
and he, wishing to do as well as he
the devoted, insisted upon lenditfg for
the occasion all the wonderful Ori
ental hangings and rich teakwood fur
niture with which his mother’s home
was embellished. The beautiful or
naments did much to make the party
a memorable one, and all would have
gone well if only the youth had hap
pened to think to tell his mother that
ho was making the loan. Unfortu
nately he had overlooked this little de
<3(l, and when the owner of all this
wealth of beauty came homo in tho
late afternoon and fount) her beloved
and highly prized Japanese room de
nuded of Its handsomest furnishings,
it was immediately thought necessary
to call In the police, and for a time
there was confusion worse confound
ed until the explanations were forth
coming.
We do not know whether or not
these things are any different in Au
gusta,—are rather wonder if they are,
but there is only bne way to find out!
and that is to watch and see.
A writer in the July Bohemian tells
us that vaudeville is kno\yn as the
"laugh trust" because there are a
certain number of devices in its cate
gory of acts that control the laughs
of Its audiences. The same old things
are always good for a laugh in the
vaudeville, and a new bit of business,
a new joke, a new device are all re
garded as dangerous by the perform
ers.
We are furnished with the follow
ing table which details some of ths
times at which a vaudeville audience
regularly laughs.
Again we ask, is this true also of
Augusta?

mincing step and in a falset

When a comedy acrobat falls down

When a performer starts to rise

When the drummer suddenly beats
the drum during a comedian’s song
and the latter stops and looks in his

When a tramp comedian turns

When the funny member of ■/

Carolina Hero of the Great
War Has Had Apoplectic
Stroke.
Special to The Herald.
COLUMBIA. S. C.—Ndws of Col.
Jno. C. Haskell’s critical illness a*
his home in Waverly from a stroke of
apoplexy suffered yesterday morning
has brought out from old friends
many anecdotes llimlratlve of the
traits and eccentricities of this gal
lant patriot, who in the days when
manhood was tested stood always
true to his state and her people, and
whose valor in tiie field and courage
in public life have been the admira
tion of all who know.
It is re-called that when he was
wounded at Gaines’ Mill and was
brought to the hospital, suffering in
tensely. he noticed a private from his
command on a near-by cot, whose arm
would also have to be amputated.
"His pain is greater than mine,” said
Col. Haskell. "Take off his arm
first.” The surgeons demurred, urg
ing upon Col. Haskell the greater
value of his own life to the cause,
and telling him there was not enough
anaesthetic on hand to suffice for
both operations. Col. Haskell in
sisted and the private’s operation was
performed under anaesthesia. After
ward Cot. Haskell’s arm was taken
off, without anaesthesia, and ho bore
the agony without a tremor.
It is remembered, too, that while
still weak and unfit for'service he
returned to the field and at Freder
icksburg had his horse shot under him
and was so injured ho had to he car
ried back to Richmond.
After the war when Col Haskell
had married a daughter of Gen. Wade

as a representative from Richland, it
was noted as somewhat singular that

ON COTTON SEED
Special to The Herald.
ATLANTA, Ga.—One of the most
important as well as the most inter
esting measures to be acted upon by
the general assembly tills year will
be upon the recommendation of Com
missioner of Agriculture T. G. Hud
son, which seeks to make more clear
the present law In regard to the sale
of cotton seed meal. As the law now
stands, there Is doubt in the mltuls
of the commissioner of agriculture
the manufacturers of cotton seed
meal and the consumers of it as to
its exact interpretation.
Following the passage of the pure
food law of Georgia, the amount of
cotton seed meal sold throughout the
state as cattle fond has increased
tremendously and there is not a
month in the year that Commissioner
Hudson is not called upon for a ruling
on the cotton seed meal lav/.
At the recent meeting of the Cot
ton Seed Crushers’ association of
Georgia at Atlantic Beach, Fla., Com
missioner Hudson In his speech told
the crushers that he was going to
make this recommendation, which
would make the law equally fair to
the producer and to the consumer.
There are thousands of tons of cot
ton seed meal consumed annually in
Georgia and the revenue derived from
inspection of name goes to make up
one of the most important assets of
the department of agriculture.
Just what this recommendation for
