Mr. Hoot Pronounces "Elihu."
New York Herald.
Those bold western reporters have
a way of asking questions which their
eastern brothers are too diffident to
put.
"How Is your first name pro
nounced?" said a reporter in Cincin
nati to Elihu Root. Mr. Root was
more patient with the reporter than
the ancient Elihu was with Job. Ha
said :
"In our family it always has been
the custom to call It 'El-a-hew,' with
the accent on the first syllable. I sup
pose, according to the best Biblical
authorities, it should have the accent
on the second syllable, but I always
have followed our family custom In
pronouncing It."
Elihu spake, morovcr, and said that
tho laNt syllable should never bn pro
nounced "hoo." This agrees with tho
authorities on Scriptural pronuncia
tion. So you may call the namo as the.
ancient did or hs the most modern
folk do anil be right cither way. Hut
in somo other noted Kiblteal names
still worn by distinguished men there
hits been no change through the ages.
