MOST PEOPLE MAKEA fEV MISTAKES "Don't" Book Will Tell Ton or Many Made by People of m Society " "Did you ever p'ck up a 'don't' book and read it . and see bow many mistakes the average,.' so called, well tied person mnkes un consciously, or through bud hub its?" asked a young lawyer ac ?ordingto the Birmingham News. "Perhaps slang bus a trreat dor to do with it, as slang ejpressioii' are often used in such way as', tr nake them resemble Kood Ent iish. We sar aDiece :of take- I. iwfully' good, or a girl is 'awfully' .jretty, wnen we mean very.' t ?ay a wedding 'occurs,' when noth; .vg Dut accidents occur, and as fo that word 'laJV Low few' peopli' there are who are not afraid t use it. v We 'lay' a thing down, bu- we ourselves 'lie' down. 'Lav. laid,' laid takes an object; 'lie, lay, la.n' does-not. Ilow ridiculous it is to say that we '.ove' candy, when we 'like' it; a plate of soup could hardly be 'lovely,' but a lose could be. And that .word 'got.' ; It seems almost an unnecessary word if care would be taken. The ords 'he,' 'she,' 'him,' and 'hei' are really the most troublesome words in the English language to most people. I was shocked to :ear a society elrl here say : 'Mrs. Blank has invited she and 1 to her house.' They eem to be af raidV the word 'her' and 'me.' To sin. 'she asked her and me' soundr lueer, but it is . correct. How many careless people say: 'He isked for you and I.' The won 'ain't' is fust growing in disfavor Few know that the word 'aggra vate' does not mean 'provoke' o 'irrtate,' and that they must no! say a 'new beginner.' We expec. a visitor but we 'suspeet' he U sick. A man d!ea 'of a disease, not 'from,' and to aay 'do like I do" should be 'do as I do.' The word 'preventive' is to be used insteai of "preventative, and the tern i mistake,' instead of 'I am mis taken.' So one could go on indef. nitely in the line of speech ami writing, but when it comes to et iquette and table manners, how many. there are who. fall short ol the rulea laid out by the standard on such matters." . STREET CRIME IN PARIS. As la Large Cities of Am tries Hold up sen Are la Great Evidence . Ceil Them "Apachea." There is' nothing western or even American about the hold up industry. It has been cultivated assiduously even in brilliant, gay fans, ana it is quite interesting to note the many similarities be tween the s tuation in the French capital in that respect and the present state of things in the ,'reat city of western America. In Paris the hold ops, pickpockets and street criminals cenerallr are called Apaches a clever jour nalist having appl ed .hat desig nation to them, and the public having perpetuated it and the "Apache problem" is claiming a good deal of the attention of the police, the city fatbera and the press. The boulevards. "the heart of Paris," are no longer what they used to be, owing to the ubiauitr and boldness of these Apaches. we are told, and the merchants of the most famous streets have pre sented a strong petition to the council asking for more efficient police protection.

Miat are done by hriving com mnnifies in Illinois or Iowa oi Minnesota. ' It was with further surprise that people who !n youth had been tccustomed to think of Texas as a land largely inaccessible save or orseback or by wagon, learned this year that Texas was leading all the states of, the union in Vail way mileage, ' and had pushet Illinois from the primacy held for 40 years. .., These two facts illustrate how the southwest Is growinr. and hi. een growing, almost unseen and inheard by he nation at large, :nd especially unnoticed by thi general public in the region of the great lakes.
