Original slang is often poetic. Per haps the best way to prove this to the professors will be to remind them that some of their own worthiest and most classic and respectable words are themselves, If we go back to their origin, just the same slangy vagabonds as these.

Examine, for instance, the word inveigh, Max Eastman writes in the New Republic. There is a staid and dignified term, fit to be incorporated in a president's inaugural "I will not at this time inveigh against the custom prevalent among my contemporaries." You can imagine how it would sound. And yet, poetically, what does that word mean? In means "into." Vehi means to sail. "I will not at this time sail into my contemporaries Here is another Latin -word insult. In its origin it means to jump on-ex-actly what is said everywhere by the schoolchildren of America when the appropriate situation arises.

Diatribe is a pretentious term. It implies something more thorough than an Insult, a more lasting denunciation You not only "jump on" somebody, but you "rub it in." We used to say of a crazy person that he was "off his trol ley." And the word delirious meant substantially the sjime thing in an earlier stage of civilization. It came from the Latin words de and lira, which mean off or out of your fur row. The word precocious means pre cooked, or, as we say, half baked. Capricious means like a goat, and the slang correlatives here are innumerable.

Imagine some worthy, refined and graduated soul being offended by a young upstart and responding somewhat as follows "It seems to me you are a trifle capricious. I would hardly expect any one to inveigh against me in this delirious manner, delivering such a diatribe. Is it essential to your precocity to insult your elders?" And then suppose we translated this somewhat according to the etymological dictionary: "You goat! You must be off your trolley to sail into me like that and then rub it in Just because-you're half-baked you needn't think you can jump on your elders Where His Pay Goes. A PIttsburgher, who has been watch ing the diet squad eat and grow fat on 25 cents a day, writes as follows: "Both my wife and myself have fol lowed the published reports of the different diet squads and have come to the conclusion that they have not succeeded in telling the average American housekeeper anything. I occupy one of the munificently paid positions of railway mall clerk and get the enormous salary of $1,200 per annum.

Now, let us see what becomes of that wealth. First there is the item of rent, and, do what I can, in this city we cannot get anything either decent or in an American locality for less than $25 a month fuel, light and carfare eats up insurance, wife, $1,000, myself, $2,000, and accident Insurance comes to $8, making a total of $38, leaving bills, for a family of eight persons. That's not quite $2 per week for each, and as none of them is yet a wage-earner, it is easy to see that the most rigid economy has to be practiced by my wife, to say nothing of myself. Of course we would like to Lave more of this world's goods, but not at the expense of the for they are worth more than materiel Pittsburgh Leader, Love's Labor Lost. E.

Lemerle, a mariner, left hio home in France for America, where he iioped to earn enough money to support his wife and children in better style than at home. After sailing around the Horn to Portland, he could get no 'better job than washing dishes in a hospital. He made $20 a month, and sent $10 of It back to France. Out of the remaining $4 he set aside regular sums to pay for his family's passage to this coutitry, and for their home. One day he cut his wrist while at work, and blood poisoning cost him the use of his right But he kept at his dishwashing, and did odd jobs outside of the hospital.

'At last he had saved enough to furnish a little home, and he sent word to hin wife by a friend who went to visit his native village in France. ThP friend wrote back that she had told him "I don't care lor a husband who is a cripple." EpiUph of Romance. Romance may be alive under the glare of the bright lights of the great Cities, but in this quaint old mountain town its swan song has been sung.
