Comment-and
Discomment
Good old Doc Bliby Is working
himself Into a sweat over the failure
of the American school system In its
bounden duty of promoting good
English. He holds no brief against
slang, seemingly, but cries out
against what he calls "a deplorable
slovenliness of speech and written
composition." He prints a number
of excerpts from letters received by
the bureau of war risk insurance In
Washington from relatives of men In
the service, which were good for a
laugh before every newspaper in the
country printed them, but which are
getting pretty stale now. Here are
some of the more familiar examples
and -by "more familiar" we mean
that we have seen them in print at
least seventeen times:
"You ask my allotment number; I
have four boys and two girls."
"Please send me a wife's form."
"Please let me know if John has
put in an application for a wife and
one child." ,
"J was discharged from the army
for a goiter which I was sent home
on."
lie was Inducted Into the ser-
face."
'I have a four months baby, and
he is iny only support."
"It is bad English, if in the use of
it you fail to make yourself under
stood." This is Doc Bixby's defini
tion, and according to its terms, only
one of the above Is an example of
bad English, which shows that the
good doctor .Is a poor hand at mak
ing definitions.
The doctor maunders on at consid
erable length after pulling this def
inition. He advises those who would
attain better English to read Emer
son, Carlyle, Dr. Eliot's five-foot
shelf of books and even Robert In
gersoll. It's an inspiring prospect
but if we might venture a sugges
tion to the doctor, we would say that
it were better to hitch the wagon a
trifle lower than the stars. The
people who write the letters which
he cites could gain very little from
the authors that he mentions. To
them these same authors would, un
der the Bixby definition, be guilty
of bad English.
The daily newspapers tell of the
arrest of six sailors at Boston on a
charge of rioting, and, further, that
they have received a sentence of six
months' imprisonment as a punish
ment for their attempt to muss up a
few officers. Things have changed
since the editor was In the navy. For,
a few weeks the writer was stationed
at Boston, and there were nightly
riots in the South station in which
every man In uniform joined. The
Boston American howled for law and
order and demanded that the sailors
be confined to their barracks unless
they behaved themselves, but the
newspaper's demands had no more
effect than the gentle east wind.

For the people of Boston like the
sailors. They have a warm spot in
their hearts for the national guards
men from Massachusetts in fact.
they will tell you in Boston that It
Was the Massachusetts division that
really made possible the winning ot
the war but any sailor is welcome.
It used to be no uncommon thing .for
some Boston gentleman to sleze a
sailor by the arm and march him
into a big limousine, force a huge
cigar into his trembling fingers and
take him for a ninety-mile ride, end
Ing up with a big feed at which the
sailor was the guest of honor. Why,
in Boston it used to be that when
the citizens found a drunken sailor
they'd put him to bed, place cracked
ice on his brow and say soothingly:
"Poor fellow, he's been led astray."
When they found a Boldler in the
game fix, you could hear: "There's
another one of those drunken bums."
Of course, there were a good many
towns where conditions were re
versed, and where the soldier would
be put to bed and the sailor per
mitted to cool his heels In the bastlle.
But Boston has put up with sailor
antics for so long that the arrest of
these cheerful rioters comes as
blow. WThen Boston, where even the
police have gone on strike, takes so
stern a stand for law and order,
what's a poor sailor to do for amuse
ment. It's getting so a man has to
join the striking miners In order to
have excitement and have it safely.
Some blood brother to the ancient
house of Borgia has been at work In
Alliance the past week or two, and
several harmless, tall-wagging dogs
have been the victims of his opera
tions. There are a lot of people in
this world that we can't work up any
great enthusiasm over, and the fel
low who will offer a friendly dog
piece of meat soaked with arsenic
heads the list. All of us will admit
that the city is not the Ix-st place In
the world for a dog, and occasional
ly we have cursed some lumberln
pup which yelped at us from the
porch, nipped at our heels or chased
our automobile. But the dogs that
have been poisoned in Alliance have
been, without exception, the play
fellows of children.
It is the inalienable right of every
boy to call some dog bis own, to
teacb him to chase sticks and to roll 1
over and play dead. A dog maket
a better companion for a kid than a
preacher. If the average dog could j
speak, he could tell more interesting
secrets than any schoolgirl. It's the I
ability of the dog to fit Into moods
that makes him so great a success
and if we had our way about It, there
would be one In every home where
there Is a child growing up. And
even in homes where there are none
but grownups, a dog often makes a
difference.
One of those whose dog is now
chasing butterflies in a happy hunt
ing ground where bones are burled
every half yard has real blood In his
eye. The Herald carries an adver
tisement this week offering a fifty
dollar reward for infortnatoln on
which prosecution may be based.
The dog probably wasn't worth any
such sum in his palmiest days -at
least he was never taxed on a third
that valuation. But the children In
that family wouldn't have taken a
thousand cold dollars for him, and
It will be years before something will
be found to fill his place. Just what
crime could that kind of a dog have
committed that would make him de
serve a dose of poison? What sort
of a man must he be who would take
pleasure in so contemptible an act?
It will probably be argued by
friends of the dog roisoner maybe
by that estimable gentleman himself
that the dog annoyed him or
barked at his chickens, or snapped
at his heels, or was up to some other
disagreeable ' trick that dogs occa
sionally are guilty of. What of it?
Lots of children are pert and sassy
throw snowballs at you are
guilty of crimes that only impudent
and heathenish hoydens can imagine.
But you don't poison children who
annoy you. You may be itching to
wring their necks, but you never
even turn them across your knee and
paddle them In the place made and
provided. There are even insolent ,
and disagreeable grownups some of
whom you would enjoy watching at- j
tempt to digest ground glass but
you let them live. It takes a brave
man to poison an unsuspecting dog I
friendly creature which is entitled to
life, liberty and the pursuit of cats
and fleas.
All of us grow old too fast and
some of us have never had the right
sort of a chjldhood. The writer
can't remember a time since he was
old enough to dress himself when he
didn't have at least one dog and
oftener it was two or three. Every
day or so we'd meet a friendly pup
uptown and coax him home and
swipe meat out of the refrigerator to
feed him. One time Eddie and I
found an awfully nice dog which was
just as friendly as could be, but
wouldn't follow us. We tied a rope
around his neck and dragged him
for thirteen blocks, and then - told
mother that he had followed us all
the way home and we couldn't make
him go back. We had another dog,
but she let us keep him. ' She didn't
particularly like dogs they tracked
mud into the house but she found
out early that when a kid was play
ing with a dog he was out of mis
chief. Somehow, we feel sorry for
the man who can't find something to
like about any dog. He must have
had a lonely childhood and youth.
Not to be outdone, the second of
the two used a two-dollar bill for the
same purpose.
The third traveler, who was a
Scot, filling up his briar pipe again,
took a check book rrom his pocket
and wrote out a check for a thou
sand dollars. Then, scratching a
match, he applied It to the check and
calmly lit hla pipe with it. The
Northern.
Worse and Worne
Miss Oreene had been invited to
be a bridesmaid at Quite a smart
wedding, and spent much time in
planning her new frock.
At last It was ready, and when she
tried It on, she asked Mrs. Jones,
from next door, to come and see It.
"It's sweet, my dear!" Bald the

Mrs. Greene's face told her sb

herself hurriedly:
"No. I mean you are a lady, what
ever you look!" London Answer.

TWO STORIES
The first story illustrates the point
that price usually determines the
quality. It is about an Indian named
Big Smoke who was employed as a
missionary out in Oklahoma.
A tourist once asked him what he
did for a living. '
"Uraph!" said Big Smoke, 'me
preachum."
"Tat so? What do you get for
preaching?"
"Me get ten dollars a year."
"Well," commented the. white
man, "that's d n poor pay."
"Uniph! " replied Big Smoke, "me
n poor preacher."
The second story Is about
Scotchman, and shows how you may
sometimes get the same, or better.
results with less cost.
Three men went into the smoking
compartment of a Pullman. They
got to talking and relating their ex
periences in various parts of the
world, and one, seeking to make an
Impression on his companions, lit
cigar with a dollar bill.
