John Hurwood had two daughters

U my son, nud I am the mother's

NE of the delights and ono of
tho drawbacks of story-tcll-lng
Is that your auditor, or vic
tim, as the .case may be, is pretty
Buro to tell another. AiuL on simi
lar principles, It Is with con
siderable trepidation, ns the 'or
ators often begin by saying,
that I venturo upon tho prcs
ont subject tho gontlo art of tonguo
twisting. For I fool very sure that
nny ono of my renders can come back,
nt mo with nioro twlstable examples
that' thoso which I am myself able
tc quote. Ilowcvor thnt may ho, 1
nm reconciled to tho probabilities by
tho reflection that contributions to
tho subject front whatever sourco
must havo the effect of adding to
tho gnyety of the war-Irritated public.
Among tho simplest of tonguo
twlstors is ono which, as I romombcr
it, was imposed on tho comodlnn of
Tho Sunslno Girl," who got awny
with It with flying colors. I saw no
thing difficult in tho test until 1 at
tempted to show my companion how
easy it was, nnd then I commontcd
inwardly, but truculently, on tho
faulty enunciation, with which so ma
ny of us nro cursed. Tho comedian's
lluo rnn ns follows: "Sho stood nt
tho gnto welcoming him li." Reads
all right, of courso, but say it aloid
several times as rapidly as possible.
Not nearly bo unlucky for the un
wary ub that .nclent stumbling block
"The sea ccaseth, nnd It sufflceth us"
says a writer in tho Philadelphia
Evening Ledger.
Many of tho commoner tonguo
twisters havo boon introduced or pop
ularized through tho medium of com
ic opcrn. Tako tho recent Instance
from "Dancing Around." That llt
tlo ditty about Sister Susie surely did
slug Ita way Into a tcrriblo muddle:
"Sister Suslo's sewing shirts for
soldiers,
Such skill at sewing shirts our shy
young sister Suslo shows,
Tho soldiers send epistles,
Say thoy',1 rather sloop In thistles,
Than tho saucy soft, short shirts for
soldiers Bister Suslo sows."
Tho tongue-twisting typo of song
attained a great voguo iu muslcul
comedy about half a dozen years ago,
whon "Sho sells sen shells on tho sea
shore," was' tho rago. A llttlo lat
er camo "Which Switch Is tho
Switch, MIbs, for Ipswich?" Jack
Norworth, tho Amorlcnu comedian,
who has lately taken tho shirt song
to London, sang In tho British mu
sic halls:
"Which switch ig tho switch, miss, for
Ipswich?
It's tho Ipswich switch which I re
quire Which switch switches Ipswich with
this switch?
You've switched my switch on the
wrong wlro;
You'vo switched mo on Norwich,
not IpBwIch,
So, now, to prevent further hitch,
If you'll toll mo which switch is Nor
wich and which switch
Ib Ipswich, I'll know B'wlch Is
H'whlch."
Tho origin of not n row ionium
twlstors must bo sought In antiquity,
llko tho favorlto ono ot everybody's
youth;
"Potor Plpor plckod n peck of prick
ly pickled peppers;
If Peter Plpor picked a peck of prick
ly pickled poppors,
Whoro's tho pock of prickly pickled
poppers Peter Plpor picked?"
If this Is alliteration, mako the
most If it! But very llkoly I havo
misquoted tho ancient classic, and If
anybody can set mo right I shall bo
ory much obliged.

Onco there was a duel bctwoon two
men named Shot and Not. Not that
thcro ever were two men named Shot
and Not, but tho duel Is described
thus:
"Shot shot tho first shot, and tho
shot Shot shot not Not, nnd tho shot
Not shot, shot not Not, so Shot shot
again, and again tho shot Shot shot
shot not, but the shot Not shot shot
Shot.so Not won notwithstanding.'

But sho snld, "This butter's bit

May the gontlo pastlmo of tongue
