USE AND ABUSE OF SLANG.

crop of new words.
Whence como these
words? Some aro

order to provide

Tho others spring
from the playful Imagination of the peo

These latter are "the parvenus and up

cepted as belonging to pollto dlctlou.
They are on probation.
Since our language Is constantly being
enlarged, If not enriched, by words und
phrases springing from our careless,
Idiomatic, everyday dialogue, It Is Idle to
make any sweeping condemnation of the
use of Hlaug. It Is dangerous to suub and
Insult one whom we may Hud hi very se

The fact Is that a tremendously largo

or less slang, principally more. It Is to

But what an effort It must bo for them
to restrain the mid vest

.Most assuredly the law of the survival of

Words which perform no good service or

A man who cannot express himself ex

PRESIDENTS WASTE TIME.
AX Wta. E. Chandler.
A President has
now only three ob
jects In life tlrst,
to see 20.000 per
sons a year; second,
to accomplish 2,000
little things; and,
third, to try to do
200 great things. In
the seeing of so
many thousand per
sons about trivial
matters, and In giv
ing his attention to tho thousauds of
little things, the President Is worn out,
und becomes physically turn bio to grap
ple with tho great problems to which
ho ought to give his undivided attention.
Presidents have almost succumbed under
tho strain, particularly President Ar
thur, and President McKlnley. to whoso
Impaired health may be attributed his
Inability to recover from the shock of the
assossln's bnllpt. The great weight of
tho pressuro for ofllco ought to fall upon
tho cabinet ministers and the President
ought to havo more time tor Important
things.
Whnt Is wanted In, the person of Mr.
itoosevelt, and In every other person
whom tho twentieth century may sec In
the White House, Is a President who
will be allowed to serve the whole peo
ple with all his heart and strength, with
all his inluil and body, In the discharge of
his olllclal duties, unhindered by the pres
sure upon him of so many thousauds of
h'ls countrymen as have In recent years
encroached upon the time and patience of
our Presidents and kept them from their
public work or compelled them to do it
by Impairing their physical health and
overstraining their mental powers.
The time has como when access to the
President, except nt public receptions,
should be limited to the cabinet ministers,
Senators, Representatives and ambassa
dors, and to such other persons only as
aro given Interviews for public purposes
after written applications havo been re
ceived and carefully considered, Tho pub
lie receptions of the President should bo
few, and there should he no intrusions
upon his social life, which he should bo
allowed to regulate according to his own
will and pleasure.
This needed change of custom will at
first no doubt bo unpopular. It will re
quire, to begin the new rule, a President
who has been a man of tho people, who
is known to be at heart thoroughly demo
cratic In all his Ideas and ways, and who
Is also strong In his convictions and fear
less In his actions.

IMPORTANCE OF LIFE INSURANCE.
By Rev, H. X. Ryan.
I am no lnsurunco agent; but
I do not healtato to say that
modern Insurance comes nearor
to giving something for nothing,
and making this something sure
and certain than any other
known Institution of our times.
Indeed, so sure, cheap and certain has
It become that no man, however poor, Is
without excuse who docs not tako advan
tage of the Inducements offered him to
lay up a little money to bury him when
dead, and provide support for his afflicted
and stricken loved ones when ho Is called
away.
It Is nothing short of an unpardonable
crime when a father and husband, with
a wife and children depending upon him
for support, neglects this sacred obliga
tion; uses up each week his wages, and
In a moment of tlmo Is stricken by death;
compels his friends to bury him; leaves
his family destitute aud objects of pity
and charity.
Though I should live a thousand years
I never could forget the picture of Just
such a scene as this I saw in Mt. llopo
Cemetery a few days ago the ono that
Inspired this sermon. I was called upon
to preach the funeral sermon of a man
who was a clerk In one of the great rail
road offices. He had a beautiful little
home, a lovely wife and child. Ho lived
a life of simple, happy case. In vain
did Insurance agents importune htm to
carry Just n little Insurance. He lived
each week to tho limit of his small sal
ary, saving nothing. He refused to be
como n member of any secret order on
account of tho expense.
Ono day he was sitting at his desk
writing and whistling, when suddenly
his whistling ceased, his writing stopped,
his head drooped forward on his book,
and his heart, over light and gay, ceased
to throb.
When his accounts were footed up he
had nothing. Tho boys in the olllce had
to buy his coftln and defray all funeral
expenses, ond they wero just as poor lis
he. One dollar a week invested In life
Insurance wonlil have avoided all this.
The saddest sight I think I ever wit
nessed In my life wns his frail, deli
cate little wire, standing beside that open
grave, with the cold winds whistling
through the barren trees, sobbing ns It
her heart would break, with not enough
money In her pockethook to buy her n
lunch and pay her way back to her cheer
less home.
And after sho returned to her home,
what then? No bread In the pantry, no
money In tho purse, no coal In the bun
ker, and the next month's rent due. I
have no sorrow for that dead husband.
My sympathy Is all for tho poor, desti
tute and unfortunate wife. It Is a pity
that such men cannot suffer tho penalty
of their own folly; but, unfortunately, tho
suffering Is endured by their luckless
wives and Innocent children.

"Why do druggists' clerks get sues,
small snlarlcs and huve to work such
long hours?"
This question was recently asked of
the Stur In a communication which wus
published. A day or two later another
letter was published from an unknown
writer suggesting us it solution of tho
problem Unit druggists' clerks Join thy
body of union workmen.
It Is u fact that druggists' clerks get
less pay and work more iiouih each day
than any other class of wagc-carncrs.
Ono of the leading druggists of this
city wus asked to tell why It was. Ho
said: i
"Because of overproduction. Drug
clerks ure a drug on the market. There
In a college In this town that turns out
something like 200 druggists each yeur,
There ure about l.'O drug stores In the
town. And, besides, moro thun half
these drug stores are training young
men In the business. Of the ir0 drug
stores only about tlfty ure making it
good prollt on the Investment. The oth
er 100 manage to skin along aud cannot
afford to pay largo wages, As long as
tho supply of drug clerks exceeds the
demand their compensation will bo
small. There Is no remedy for It thai
I can see. My advice to the young man
who contemplates learning tho drug
business Is, don't. My advice to thu
young man already In It who seeks to
better his condition Is, get out of It."
