AN OVERWORKED WORD.
This Writer Suggests That “Very” Be
Given a Long Rest. .
There is a word that once possessed
a vigor and a power that is altogether
lost, **Verily, verily”—*in truth, in
truth.” Now it is “very.” and, though
it still means ‘in truth,” it has become !
so weakened by usage that it conveys |
no force whatever.
You meet men on the street and say,
“It is a very fine day.” What do you
mean? Prebaby you mean, “How do
you do?’ What yon have said is gim-
ply a salutation. - But if you should
say to me, “It is a fine day,” you prob-
ably mean it is a fine day. That little
word “very” has been so weakened, 80
frayed at the edges, that it harms
rather than helps its companions.
So, gentle reader, 1 would say to you
if 1 had arbitrary power over your
speech, “This week I will allow you
only. two ‘veries,’” and, though for a
time such restraint may make you self
conscious, yet it will force you'to grope
about for musty treasures in the store.

for the removal of the growth.
A report is prevalent that cars will |
not be furnished for loading coal from
wagons. This is an error as the roads |
owing to the demand for gondolos and
flats they cannot always be furnished
and box cars are being furnished in-
stead. The latter are just as coven:
jent and can be loaded cheaper, as
they dispense with the scafiod,l and |
are loaded direct from the wagon.

V. M. Bearer, State Forester, Ligon-
er, Pa., will mail similar lists to sports-
men, farmers, of wood lands and oth- |
ers who make request for such.

“No, we didn’t like te do that, butiwe'

then we all got together and fermed a
