THE AlU'SK OF L\X(!l'A(iE
Whether our speech U to serve
hi u a mitten or as a glove de
pends ou the pains wo are willing
to take with distinctions like those
'■ "should" and "would,"
"who" and "that," "the
boyV and "of the boy."
Uchsooilj" our careless use of
the rncther tongue is confusin"
forms and dropping disiactions that
even colloquial wording can ill j
spare. Our enormous vocabulary
grews faster than the dictionary
matters can issue appendix and new
edition; but our grammar, lika
an agintree, is decaying at the i
tons. Take for instance -would" |
and "should." Here in New Eng
land »he distinction lingers. In the!
Middle West and beyond "would"
his hopelesslv merged with its own
service that of "should." The
smoother phrases "1 would like"
and "I would be grateful" already
appear iu formal writing, and only
the verbalist is Texed. The dis
tinction of "who" from "that,"
for all the good examples in tne
talk of street aud shop and in
the common version of the Bible, is
as good as gono from our moUaru
books. In "a running fight," "by
running a race," "I saw John run
ning," "I saw John's running,'*
how many of us can tell apart, as
adjectivu, Infinitive, particple and
verbal koun, those four "run
nings?" Is it any wonder that
we are letting slip the good dis
tinction between "He didn't like
Tom interrupting" and "He didn't
llko Tom's interrupting?" A gray
er '.Oijs has come of our laziacac
with aubjunclive forms. Our school
children think us quaint when we
say, 'if Ue were" or "Wherever
it bo."—Boston Herald.

A farmer visited the city and
unions otter tilings h« wandered
into a ■woman's exchange on Twen
ty-third street.
After a few seconds of staring
about at the things on display/ he
sized up several women attendants
behind the railing.
"So this Is the woman's exchange,
eh?" he said thoughtfully,
"Yes. This i3 fha -woman'b ex
change," came the Teply. "What
rjai 1 do for you?"
"An' you all are the wimmen?"
"Yes."
"Wal, I guess then I'll Just keep
Maria!"
