What It Sounded Like to Ella
What R Sounded Fine
Fine music and fine poultry were two things of which little Ella's father was very fond, says the Ladies' Home Journal. Recently he bought a machine and among other records was one of a very brilliant aria by a great coloratura soprano. The baby listened closely to the runs of the bewildering music until the singer struck some high arpeggios and trills at the close, when she exhaled:
"Daddy, listen! She's laid an egg!"

DEFENDED ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Roger Ascham, Classic Scholar, Dio-
Not Scorn His Common Language
One of the main objects that Rogers Ascham had in his writing "Toxophilus," a treatise on archery, in the form of a dialogue between Toxophilus and Philologus, was to present to writers a good specimen of pure English style, in hope of winning them to a closer study of their own language and study of their clusive study and use of Latin and French. His own classical attainments were of the highest; he was chosen to teach Greek to Elizabeth when she was princess, read Greek and Latin with her after her accession, and was Latin secretary to Queen Mary. Rather strangely his later and more famous work, "The School Master," is a "plain and perifite way of teaching children to understand, write and speak in it." Yet the earlier book, furnished admirable proof of the capabilities of the English language. The following is a part of his apology for writing English:
"If any man woud blame me either for taking such a matter in hand, or else for writing it in the English tongue, this answer I may make him, that when the best of the realm think it honest for them to use, I one who is more knowledgeful than to supply it vile for me to write; and though to have written it in another tongue had been both more profitable for my study, and also more honest for my name, yet I can think my labour well beowored, because the profit and name may come all pleasure of commodity to the gentlemen of England, for whose sake I took this matter in hand. And as for the Latin and Greek tongue, everything is so excellently done in them, that they can teach his tongue, contrary, everything in a manner so meanly, both for the matter and handling, that no man can do worse. For therein the least learned, for the most part, have been always most ready to write in Latin, which he taught in Latin have been most bold in English; when surely every man that is most ready to talk is not most able to write. He that will write well in any tongue, must follow this counsel of Aristotle, to speak as the common man, and so should every man understand him, and the judgment of man follow him."

GREECE IN LITERARY FEUD
Sons of Homer Wrangle Over Changes in Language
Not all modern Greeks toil along the shores of the Aegean Sea until they have saved enough money to come to American and then shines shoes or push trucks in the packing houses for them in the sunny little country generally thought of as dead except for the school teachers who visit the Acropolis and take snapshots, the descendants of ancient Athenians are calling each other names because they can agree as to what is necessary to keep the language pure, while the more radical Greeks under the leadership of Pischari, Palamas, and Palli, are trying to convert their literature into the language of the peasant mother. The subject of the university course of Piracy is it. It is "katharevous" according to a writer in Current Opinion, and is the purist and literary language, having a tendency towards ancient Greek, but no more resembling it than Italian resembles Latin.
Began Twenty Years Ago
The conflict commenced twenty years ago when Prof. John Pischari visited all the provinces and villages of Greece and subsequently published a book of his travels in the vernacular. Young Greeks were enthusiastic, but the accident of the first handshake condemned the book because of the alleged vulgarity of the vernacular employed.
To fan the blaze, Greece's greatest living poet, Kostes Palamas, secretary of the university at that time, announced his allegiance to Pischari and his ideals, and established a weekly magazine as an organ of the new literature. Then, to make matters worse, he became the Bible to the most collegial Greek, and the students at the University of Athens accused the translator of being in the employ of the hated Panslavie movement.
Public Favors Reformers
The reformers have the major portion of public sentiment with them for they stand for the language of the people. The dimotiki, or vernacular, has practically conquered the field, the classists retain the katharevus only for public and legal documents. The problem at present is whether or not to teach the newer language in the public schools.
The president of the University of Athens, Mistrettia, still holds out and recently published a book denouncing the vulgarities which were infesting Greek literature. But the comic papers ridicule him mercilessly and destroy any influence which his books might otherwise have.
Bloodshed in 1911
Actual bloodshed occurred in March, 1911, in the streets of Athens and in the Aryan fields outside the city. Mistriota had tried to introduce the purified language in the schools radicals, headed by Premier Venezuelos, fought with the followers of the conservative leader.
Knew What He Wanted to Give
Billie, who had been having trouble with his older cousin Ralph, came into the house, so the latter was the mother, knowing nothing of the trouble, said:
"Bille, what would you like to give your cousin Ralph for Christmas?" he know what I'd like to give him." He savaged, "but I ain't big enough."

KANSAS BASKET TOSSERS
SHOW CHAMPIONSHIP CLASS
The K. U., basketball team, composed entirely of native Kansans, can hold its own with any basketball team in the country, according to Manager W. O. Hamilton, who has been a close follower of the game during the seventeen years that he has coached teams in the Missouri Valley.
"I have seen every good team that has played in the Middle West, including the tour aggregations from both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and not one of them has anything on this year's Kansas State team. This men trounced the Missouri Tigers decisively on two successive occasions."
"This's does not mean that Kansas should win every game," continued the K. U. mandarin, "for every team slumps occasionally and at least once K. U. has an even break with any college or club team now playing."
The recent Missouri contests showed the superiority of the Kansas coaching over the Northwestern and Big Nine systems, for Van Ghent, the Tiger mentor is a product of the Wisconsin training school for coaches and was himself an All-Star man in his undergraduate days.
One point which gives the Kansas men a great advantage is their height. The five regulars and two substitutes, each of the work, average 6 feet 1 inch.
During the present season the Kansans have played a series of games with the seven leading universities of standing in the Missouri Valley, and have been returned the long end of each group of contests.
Now It's "Mortician"
“Mortician” is the new designation which Eastern undertakers are giving themselves. The funeral directors think that the word undertaker does not suggest any connection with the dead. The word is probably derived says the Literary Digest, from the Latin mordicius, dead, with the addition of the English suffix -ian, meaning pertaining to. So now the most gloomy business, is that of being a mortician.
