Johnsen Home of GOOD SHOES Where the Best Values Come From USE OF WHO OR WHOM. Where Grammar Bunks Up Against Idiom and Cctt a Jolt. The employment of the nominative who" for the accusative In certain forms of Interruption has become so Imbedded In common usage that re sort, even now. to the strictly orthodox practice frequently requires, on the part of educated men. positive effort or prolonged training. It somehow does uot seem natural. In the past assured ly this nominative form, where precise grammar would require the accusa tive, turns ii i with almost Invariable regularity in works which set out to represent colloquial speech. "Who is It from?"' snys the mother In Jane Austen's "Pride and Preju dice," to her daughter, who has Just received a letter. "Who Is It like?" says the heroine of "Jane Eyre" to St. John Rivers as she shows him the picture of Itosauiiuid Oliver. Such ex suiplcs could be multiplied by hun Jreds. There ure cases, Indeed, when the use of "whom" would strike upon the ears of most of us as painfully pedantic. "Who the devil Is he talking to?" says Sir I.iii-Ims (Trigger In Sheri dan's 'Rivals." as he notices Captain Absolute Holiioquixing. To tolerate "whom" In pliu-e of "who" In such a sentence as the last would require the speaker to be so thoroughly steeped lu grammar that the sense of traditional usage, which lias been hardening Into Idiom, has at last been completely overcome. That height of linguistic virtue few of us there are who attain. Thomas It. I.ounsbury In Harper's Magazine. FURY OF A SPIDER. An Insect Tragedy at Seen Through a Nagnifying Glass. One day. iiiinaging in uu old desk, I found a magnifying glass. It was September, and in n sunny, weed rid den corner of the garden I had dis covered n big black and gold spider who had strung her web between two tall burdocks and was doing a thriving business In grasshoppers. Seated on the ground. I now sur veyed her through the glass for an hour as she hung In the middle of ber engine of destruction. When I touch ed the net with my finger she swung frnntlcally to nnd fro, prompted doubt less by some Instinct of self preserva tion, but otherwise was as motionless as If carved in Jet. Grasshoppers were not very plenti ful as yet. hut nt last a large green fellow flew plump Into the tolls, the spines on his legs that had so often dis coursed sweet music becoming entan gled. Instantly the crafty spider was all alive. Darting upon her victim, she took her station above blm, and. banging by two legs, seized bim In her other six and rolled bim round and round, unswathing blm In a bnnd of silver silk until he was us helpless as a mummy, and then she bit blm In a dozen places with fangs oozing with poison. At the spectacle of her evil eyes glittering with the lust of killing, mag nified n they were by the glass, I turned sick and rolled over on my face among the weeds and lay for a long time miserably Inert. Atlantic Monthly. Strange Freak of Memory. There Is it strange story of how Sir Walter Scoctt, producing "The Bride of Laiiimerinoor" during Illness, was aft erward found to have forgotten entire ly what he had thus created. Accord ing to James Itallantytie, "the book was written nnd published before Mr. Scott was nble to rise from his led, and lie assured me when It was first put Into Ids hands In a complete shape thai he did not recollect n single inci dent, character or conversation It con tained The original Inc idents of the story, which he had known from boy hood, he still remembered, but he knew no more shout the story he had written than he did before he began to write or even think about writing It" These fucltt were corroborated by Mr. Lock bart, Sir Walter Scott'a son-in-law and biographer, so that they are placed be yond question. FRANCIS H. IRWIN MEETSJAD DEATH Acutely despondent after several months of failing health, Francis II. Irwin of Oak Grove shot himself Thursday while on his way home from town.

Although making occasional rallies, his general condition steadily failed and his mental faculties finally be came Involved. For at least a month before his tragic end he suffcud from acute melancholia, with its atteudant despondency, was bewildered and Irra tional at times, and at the last was un doubtedly Irresponsible for his acts. Mr. Irwin brought the fraternal col lege spirit to his new home, and was a member of the University Club of Hood River and vicinity. He was al ways actively interested in the Y. M. C. A. and gave that cause his best service. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Portland. All his life, from boyhood, he was a genuine Christian, always squaring his practice with his profession. He mark ed out a plain path for himself, set a correct standard, and held a straight course.
