Examine, for Instance, the word Inveigh, Mux Kustman writes In the New Republic. There Is a staid and dignified term, lit to he Incorporat ed In a president's Inaugural: “I will not at this time Inveigh ugulnst the custom prevalent among my contem poraries.’' You ran Imagine how It would sound. And yet. poetically, what doe« that word mean? In means “into.” Vehl means to sail. “ I will not at this time sail Into my contemporaries 1” Here Is another Latin word—Insult. In Its origin It means to lump on— ex actly what Is said everywhere by the schoolchildren o f America when the appropriate altuutlon arises. 1 Matrlhe Is a pretentious term. It Implies something more thorough than an Insult, u more lusting denunciation. You not only '•Jump on” somebody, but you “ rub It lu.** W e used to say of a crazy person that he was “ ofT Ids trol ley.” And the word delirious ineunt substantially the same thing In un earlier stage o f civilization. It came from the Latin words do and lira, which mean ofT or out o f your fur row. The word precocious means pre cooked, nr. ns wo suy, hulf baked. <*aprlclous means like n goat, and the slang correlatives here are Innumer able. Imagine some worthy, refined and graduated m » u I being offended by n young upsturt und responding some what us follow s: “ It seems to me you lire a trllle capricious. 1 would hard ly expect any one to Inveigh ugalnst me In this delirious manner, deliver ing such a diatribe. Is It essentlui to your precocity to Insult your elders?" And then suppose we translated tills somewhat according to the etymologic al dictionary: “ You goat! You must be off your trolley to Kali Into ine like that and then rut* It In!- Just because you're half-bilked you needn’t think you can Jump on your elders 1" Well, Hardly.

It was close to midnight and nuturully the cop stopped and looked ut the mini stundlng behind the tree. ‘‘Howdy," says the cop, by way of opening conversation. "You ’re another,” replied the man good-naturedly. "Whuchuh doin’— waitin’ for some body?” Inquired the brave policeman. "Nope.” "Just stnndln’ there, hey?” "You’ve hit It.” "L ive near here, do you?" ‘‘Right In there,” says the citizen.

The cop looked at him thoughtfully for n minute. “ Mebby It’« none of my business," he says, “ und then again mebby It Is.

Convincing P roo f o f T hi* Fact. Itiilgway, Penn. — “I suffered from female trouble with backache and pain in my sido for over seven months so I could not do any of my work. I was treated by three different doctors and was getting discouraged when my sister-in-law told me how Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound had helped her. I decided to try it, and it restored my health, so I now do all of my housework which is not light as I have a littlo boy three years old." — Mrs. O. M. K h i n k s , ltidgway, Penn.

No one has yet written any adequate appreciation of the possibilities o f bad verse. The verse.

Only n true poet could write n Just appre ciation o f had verse; and from his pen the words would come too much taint ed with the Implication o f Irony. The quality o f had verse Is not strained.
