Tt. M. llardlnr. urrintendcnt: and another letter from the judse of ihr- Tolicc Court.

Pryan.-do you not know that Democratic success In November means an experlene so graphically described by the police Judge of Cincinnati? Ycu owe It to this country to assist in bringing about your own defeat, and a few more speeches In the gas belt similar to those lately detvcre.l would make Indiana safe for McKinley by at least fifty thousand. Are you aware that In Indiana there were three thousand Inmates of poorhouses in lSt, today but l.D-'-O. and $.?) less In Jail3 than in You said. The gold standard has been a failure and has nothing to recommend it except misery, which has folowed it wherever It has been tried. We refer you to the fact that since you made this false statement India, Russia. Peru, Costa Rica and Kcuador have adopted the gold standard, and that every country in the world to-day is on a gold basis except China, ilexico and a few countries of South America, and our com mere with the gold-stand-iird countries amounts annually to JIS.O-A-00,CK. while our commerce with free-silver eountries Is only $10.1m.0oO? Would you have us fall from the constellation of the nations and sink to the level of China and ilexleo In order that your ambitions may be. realized? Tou said 'That want and mi?ery will bo with us if the poM standard Is maintained. Let me remind you that thero are In thl country one hundred Kcientlf. and technical schools, one hundred and sixty-five schools of theology, one hundred and Ilfty schools of medicine, one hundred schools of law, two hundred and fifty thousand schoolhouses. four hundred thousand teachers and fifteen million happy boys and girl? dwelling therein, costing two millions of dollars annually. TKAKS FOR AGL'INALDO. "Xo, Mr. Bryan, your tears may fall upon the land of Aguinaldo; for him you may die, but pessimist as thou art America Is not your home, for his Is the land of the free and the home of the brave. You said that under the gold standard the value of farm products would decrease. We refer you to the fact that in the value of sheep was 553.G00.00O. to-day they are worth JI-.(sOu,oi.0. that the value of the animals on thp farm has increased jyAWO.OoO, and the value of farm property has increased over Jl.OW.OOO.OOO since ls:-0. You said bUSines failures would increase. We refer you to the fact that there were six thousand less failures in Krj than in You said 'We will export no more goods but will import from foreign land all the Roods we will use. If you ever told a political falsehood this one certainly sits enthroned as the monumental one of the nineteenth century. In refutation of this remarkable prophecy we refer you to the following tables, and beg of you to study and refleet thereon. "The exports to the following countries are as follows: Cuba-is:;, IT.KO.SS): im $26.513,613. I'orto Rico IM, J2.102.01M: 1H. fl.640,413. Hawaii UJavJ.T'jT; lim. $13.505.143. Philippines l.y;. $pJ2.4Go; 1300, $2,610,400. Exports of Manufactures. 150. $K,343,000; 1S.V, $228.000,000; 1D00, $132,2$ 1.000. Exports Farm Products. IS I. $307.915,000; ISM. $731,S33,0); 1S00, $1,lSl.fi00.OUi). "It will be observed that, the loss to the farmer under the. Wilson tariff law in Kb was $15&nno,nnü. and the gain to the farmer under the Dingley tariff law in 1SW was $1'j0, 000,0,0. We also refer you to the following tabic, which explains why our circulation has Increased $soo,ouoioo0 since 1M)6, because we have experienced the operation of that Invaluable law that just In proportion that our exports exceed our imports fo will our national wealth Increase. You will observe that under Republican, rule we have Invariably sold more than we have bought: "Kxcess of Imports over exports, 1S60, J20.000.Oih); excess of exports over imports, LS02, $22.$7,OG0; excess of imports over exports, is,. $13.000.000; excess of exports

over imports, uw. $oH.47l,i.; excess of exports over imports. 1710 to 1S07, 33S3,0OO,O-); 17 to im $1,505,000,009. ENORMOUS INCREASE. "It will thus be observed that within the brief period of three and one-half years of William McKinley's administration the excess of exports over imports is nearly live times as much as it was in 107 years of the life of this Republic. We presume Mr. Bryan, in the face of this overwhelming evidence as to the falsity of every prophecy lie uttered (not so much as a sentence, word or letter of his forebodings have been realized), that his answer in his own defense would be similar to what Pat said to the captain of the ocean liner upon which he was traveling to the old country. The captain observed Pat alongside of the rail, ami he. in company with others, was heaving up Jonah. The captain, out. of sympathy, remarked. 'Patrick, you seem to have a weak stomach. Tatrik became quite indignant and replied, 'Begorra, I am throwing as far as any of them.' So Mr. J'ryan might reply he was throwing as near the mark as any of the Democrats. "I have very little to say upon the subject of trusts, for there is no issue as between the Democratic and Republican parties upon thi c;uestion Roth are pronounced :n thefr platforms against them. The only question that confronts the voter In regard to trusts is which party, according to their past records, has been the most active and sincere in their efforts to suppress them? The Democratic party his done absolutely nothing, except to oppose the efforts of the Republican party to. tfgulate the unf ilr combinations of capital. As. early as Jvv ur party, in national convention assembled, declared thtlr opposition to all combinations of capital organized in trusts or otherwise to control arbitrarily the condition of trade. In LSro. s:gaii:st the opposition of the Democratic jarty. the Se.ermnn anti-trust law passed, and under it the attorney general of the United States dissolved the Joint Traltlc Association, consisting of thirty-one railroad companies, and also dissolved the Addison Pir-e and Steel Company. Other trusts immediately reorganized and put themselves leyond the reach of the ft dcnl law. The Republican party, realizing this tact, proposed, on June 1. lyOO. the following amendment to the Constitution of the United States: That Congress shall have power to define, regulate and control, prohibit or dissolve trusts, monopolies or cornTLlnrtions. whether existing In the form of r combination or otherwise. The several states may continue to exercise such power in anv manner not conflicting with the laws of the United States. PHFUA7EP TJY DEMOCRATS. "This meritorious arrur.dmer.t was defeated by the Democrats of the House of Representatives, only five of them voting for it. while every Republican, almost to a man. voted for it, Ihus showing that the present spasm of virtue of the Democratic party and the opposition which It exhibits toward trusty is wholly insincere. To how much better advartage would Mr. Bryan appear as t-ie- Iwr;.tr of Ms country if he were to turn his gordus and ability to settilr.rr a id so!'. ing rrune n? the living, burning questions of the hour, instead of nrrayirg capital against labor, the ii.asse.-. ag:i!.uct th classes .idvbirg them to put tl.t Ir hai". in t'u p.'ketbooVs o others jt:itl thai they take trio t j the seashore. How much i-iter It v.ou.d to if he vero to U:e h!.J citnrts to harmonize "capital and labor, and brint? about their union and n.arrlage, to the end that the petpiexing Quertious which ari.o concerning wages. faii.-!n Htrtkess. misery an.l suffering-, t be settled by t peaceful means of arbitration. a in NYw Zealand, where strikes rsre tiiiknor.n nr;! where arbitration Is rnaüc jnnndatory. We have seen splendid effects loHowln.r the law that was passed by our Lecljduture. known as the arbitration law. und recently at Terre Haute, where it CGs anrecfi that the differences betweu the street -car company and its t mployes should to left to arbitration ard the men fhould continue work, i -!;'!ing a settlement: or let him nd'.-oeate a div'.&ion of prolits aj in France and In many titles of this country, the most notable example of which is that of th I'roetor Ac Gamble Company, of Cnrinnatl. The day is not far distant when capital and labor, by proper organization. wdl meet on the level of good-fellowship for the purpo? of arranging wages by the year anJi combined so a to prevent tbe

glutting of markets and overproduction, the curse of capital and labor alike. SUPPLY AND DEMAND. "There is a higher lav than the antitrust law, and it 13 the law of supply and demand. Trust may regulate prices, but the public regulates the demand. Trusts fall of their own weight when built upon avarice and greed. Thirteen trusts, representing &CO,Oj0,00O capital, are tottering on their base. The public is not Injured, simply those people who desire to make exorbitant profits by way of speculation, and such dupes and victims as would otherwise invest In lottery tickets. You can take a horse to watr; you cannot make him drink, neither can the trusts make the public buy when tluir prices are exorbitant and unreasonable." The speaker then took up Mr. Bryan's garbled quotations from Lincoln, Blaine and others and criticised a number of the Nebraska man's utterances during his campaigning tours, charging that some of these were insulting to laboring men, unfriendly to soldiers and others sacrilegious. He then took up Mr. Bryan's first paramount Issue, imperialism, faying: "In looking in the Century Dictionary for the meaning and definition of this word i find It means 'pertaining to an emperor or an empire,' and believing as I do that there is not a single American citizen that desires an emperor or an empire. I searched for another meaning, and found that when one leaves a portion of the beard upon the chin and shaves on either side that is called an imperial beard, and Inasmuch as the Populists of this country are the only ones that wear this character of beard, they must be the imperialists of this country. The charge of Imperialism is so ridiculous that the Democratic iarty in rational convention at Kansas City had to declare by unanimous resolution that the paramount issue In thi3 campaign Is imperialism in order that It might have les to stand upon. One would think from the oratory and energy expended upon imperialism that this issue or charge was something new under the sun. The truth Is that the cry of Imperialism dates back to 17x7, when the Articles of Confederation were supplanted by the Constitution of the United States, there were thse at that time who opposed the adoption of the Constitution, saying that It gave the federal government too much power, and republic was another name for empire, and from that time to this whenever the majesty of federal law was applied to bring rebellious States Into the Union and compel their recognition of its rower those affected would cry Imperialism. IN CALHOUN'S TIME. "It was so when Calhoun advocated nullification and whom Jackson threatened to hang If he resisted the operation of the tariff law of the Nation. Strange as it may seem, the Democratic party which met in Baltimore in May, 1S10, and gave to this country the first political platform was tinctured and saturated with the doctrine of a narrow construction of the Constitution. It declared 'that the federal government Is one of limited powers derived solely from the Constitution, and that it is Inexpedient and dangerous to exercise doubtful constitutional powers.' In opposition to this view, be It said to the everlasting credit of the Republican party that at its very birth it breathed the sentiment of a broad and liberal construction of the

Constitution, for at Philadelphia in June, 1S5C, where was nominated General John C. Fremont, the Republican platform declared 'that the Constitution confers upon Con gress sovereign power over the Territories of the United States for their government.' Thu3 it will be seen that the -views enter tained by the two parties upon the question of the powers of Congress arc as old as the parties themselves, and will be settled by as decisive a. victory in 1900 as in the years that have gone. "Old soldiers do you appreciate what this charge of Imperialism means? It is equal to the charge that we have forgotten the sufferings of Valley Forge, the victims of Yorktown, the success of our forces upon land and' sea In the war of 1S12; that we have forgotten the battle fields, of blood, the sorrow and suffering of the sixties; that we have forgotten the horrors of Andersonville, where thirty-two thousand com rades were crowded- upon twenty-seven acres of ground, and surrounded with the stockade and the dead line; that we have forgotten that those poor, emaciated beings only had six square feet of mother earth to move and live and have their being on in that hell of suffering where maggots and scurvy and disease claimed ten thousand of those precious fouIs, where fingers fell off and th" flesh would slip from the bones of the suffering. It Is equal to a charge that we have forgotten the cost of this Republic In blood, viz. one million of lives since the foundation of this government. APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS. "We appeal to Democrats for your support, not because the success of the Republican party is in peril, but because the Nation's progress, the Nation's glory and her achievements for one hundred years are in peril; because the happiness of home and the comforts of the fireside are in peril, and the Nation's financial integrity and credit are in peril. AVc appeal to you and ask you for your suffrage to the end that wherever our flag has been unfurled it shall ever remain, and the authority over that territory shall be held supreme. "Your support and vote for McKinley can do no violence to your political beliefs. You are more nearly carrying on to victory your principles as Democrats by voting for William McKinley than in voting for William J. Bryan, for as Mr. Eckels, ex-controller of currency under President Cleveland, said that he opposed Mr. Bryan because he was a IVpulist. and not a Democrat, and as Captain English said in his speech at Snelhyville, Oct. 20. 'My ambitions arc none other than those of other citizens who de-f-Ire to stamp out forever, socialism, populism. Bryanism and Aguinaldoism." McKinley stands on the rock of patriotism and all the raging waves or popuUsm shall not prevail against him.' "The truth is, since the tariff has been settled the yreat gulf which divided the two great parties in the past, there Is now little difference between them. We ask you to join us and join us forever. We laud and magnify the names of Jefferson, Monroe and Jackson because they were for expansion and for sound money. We stand on your platform of 1S32, which declared 'that the dollar, unit of coinage, of either silver, or geld, must be of equal Intrinsic value or be adjusted through international agreement. "Let this new combination of political affairs be known as the Republican-Democratic party of the twentieth century, and let all those who oppose its grand march, the march of the fiag. the harmonizing and civilizing influence of this great Republic, be buried beneath the wheels of progress whik we go marching on." Tin Summer I tippy. Philadelphia North American. The most interesting study In cold weather effects can be obtained if one has a summer-born puppy dog In the house. Such a dog, not having known what a chilly air is, registers every degree of cold more exactly than a dollar and a half thermometer can, and with a personal grievance against weather that is pitiful. He stands around with an injured expression that plainly shows he considers himself the victim of some mean trickster. 'What are you doing to me?" he seems to ask, as he vainly seeks a spot where be can rid himself of his "goosefiesh" and or.ee mo;e feel like a real warm baby dog. Not having learned yet that brisk exercise will restore him to his usual canine warmth he simply leans up against the wall, wonders what has come over the house and shivers as if he were iu an icebox. This phenomenon is very interesting to human beings who are blessed with such a ilog. yet as summer dogs are rare, it is probable that few people have .ever ebserved it. and it is therefore acMed to the records of science by the caroful student of Isothermal lines and other weather freaks.

Y7HEIT THE TEEES ABB BABE.

iir olive Tiiortxn miller. When the winds and frosts of autumn have stripped the trees, and the leaves which have formed the tender beauty of spring and the glory of summer lie prone in the dust, think not the beauty of the tree Is departed. Then litst It shows its undisguised self Its individuality. The study of trees at this time is most fascinating, and shows us anew how we are all linked together from the monad to the man. For, to the open mind, every tree In its method of growth, the formation and arrangement of Its branches and twigs, irresistibly suggests character, as we know it In our own race. In the tree which throws its branches broadly out upon the air, with twigs widespread to the least tip, we see the openhearted generous soul. That one whose branches are gnarly, with twigs full of kinks and knots, typifies the opinionated, crochety personage we all know. The tall, spindling tree, whose branches seem never to have had time to spread, so anxious were they to get up in the world, recalls us to the aspiring, ambitious human soul who has never time for the enjoyments of common life, but Is always reaching for something beyond. And so we may go on and match the characteristics of our human friends and neighbors In the world of trees. But to the student of bird life there is another and greater interest in the autumn-swept woods. Then are brought to light the abandoned homes of the birds, hitherto carefully concealed by foliage. Then one may study bird architecture without fear of disturbing any one. These little structures Ehould not be looked upon as mere cradles to hold youns birds, but as homes, as the scenes of love, happiness, care, anxiety and all the passions that cluster about the human nursery. And above all, as expressions of Individuality. For each one has a character of Its own, and they will be found to be almost as varied as the human nests we see about us. There is a notion among a thousand other notions about our little neighbors that all birds of a species build In the same way that all robin nests, for example, exactly resemble each other. It is a fact that there is always a general likeness, but there are also differences, and we frequently see a robin's nest totally unlike the conventional one. As for instance one built last summer near Philadelphia and carefully preserved, after It had served its use, in the Philadelphia Academy of Science, where it may be seen to-day. It was made entirely of the snowy sterns and flowers of the piant called "everlasting." The stems were woven together to form the framework, while the white blossoms covered the outside, making an exceedingly showy and beautiful structure. The king bird, too, often shows originality in the choice of building material. A nest in an orchard on a Maine hillside where sheep were kept was composed en tirely, so far as could be seen from the ground, of wool. It was, of course, very conspicuous among the green foliage, and perhaps no bird except one who. like the king bird, feels perfectly competent to delend his own family would venture to set up so glaring a mansion. Then again on the Maine coast, where many trees are hung with the dainty green hanging moss (usnea). a king bird built her nursery in a conspicuous branch of an apple tree almost wholly of this pretty green material. In Maine also was found by a correspondent a hanging nest probably a vireo's made of tarred rope which the writer had been using, combined with strips of birch bark from the woodpile. It would have been interesting to see the struggles of the dainty clad vireo wdth that awkward and repulsive material. Birds are not, as is generally supposed, slavishly devoted to the ways of their forefathers, the traditions of their families; they are willing to make experiments. A least flycatcher in Vermont, a tiny creature with very decided opinions of her own, accepted the offerings of a bird-loving neighbor, and built her nest of gaily colored bits of worsted, finely cut strips of cotton, etc. This experiment was disastrous. In the first place, other birds robins and English sparrows resenting this departure from flycatcher customs, tried to pull the unnatural structure to pieces. The least flycatcher like his relations can always hold his own, and he succeeded in preserving the gaudy nursery. But a long, soaking rain proved too much for it, and brought it to the ground with Its complement of eggs. Again the plucky little builder accepted the material which had wrought the disaster, and a second nest was made and stocked with eggs. But a second accident of the same kind discouraged her, and she removed her residence to a distant orchard and returned to the traditional style of architecture. In central Ohio, a year or two ago, a tufted titmouse a bewitching cousin of our own charming chickadee sought a change in the custom of her tribe by lining her J nest with the hair of a gentleman whom she found sitting on a bench In his grounds, i He was reading, with his head resting on j the back of his seat, when he suddenly felt a tugging at his hair. Being a bird lover, he kept still, and in a moment the tiny nest builder flew with a beakful of his hairs. Retaining his position, he soon saw her returning, and this time she braced her feet firmly against his head while she pulled out her original nest material. Nests appear, on a hasty look, to be of the simplest construction, and we do not realize the labor they represent. The family just mentioned the titmice seem particularly hard workers. Some of them make elaborate nests and one of the species In California constructs a long, hanging, purse-like structure of plant down, fino mosses, insect cocoons and other things, all felted together into quite a solid bag. Nor are they the only hard workers among the small birds. A humming bird's nest, hardly bigger than a walnut, the building of which was closely watched by a trained observer, was estimated to contain more than two thousand loads of material, probably plant down, each load of. which, of course, was sought where "ft grew, brought in the beak of the builder r.nd laboriously felted to the structure by prodding with beak and treading with feet. The work was plainly very severe for the little creature, and it took several days to complete. During the whole time her mate did not once appear. The decorations sometimes found on these abandoned homes are curious and interesting as showing aesthetic taste and individuality. When they are of lichens alone they should perhaps be considered as used for concealment rather than ornamentation, but the gayly colored lichens on the nest of a yellow-throated vireo make it more, instead of less conspicuous. A fresh nest of this bird, before it has faded, is exquisite, being of different colored lichens, green, yellow, black and pink, put on with taste and harmonious effect.- It is said that these are added entirely by the male, after his mate has finished the structure and begun her duties ot sitting. The wood-pewee, too, uses the lichen decoration, although she does not Indulge In varied colors. A dainty and useful nest in my iossession is of the green usnea mos3 loose ly woven together, scarcely firm enough to hold the eggs, and covered outside with lichen about the same shade of green. A redstart nest on the coast of Maine this summer is decorated with some white, sllkv plant fiber, not only around the lxdy of the nest, but hanging in a long trailing fringe, which made it very conspicuous among the bright green branches of the young spruce on which It res teil.. Even thc English sparrow has been seen overlaying the nest with blossoms? of the sweet alyssum. Another thing showing that our feathered neighbors tire not slavishly attached to their family traditions is the fact that some of them are glad to avail themselves of the labors of others. Not only do deserted woodpecker's nests and bird houses find eager takers, such as bluebirds, owls, chickadees and others, but even empty nests are often occupied. 1 have seen the nest of a Baltimore oriole which was seized upon by a house wren, not quite with the consent of the buliders, Idled it with twigs, wren fashion, and occupied as a wren nursery. I have also another briole nest In the bottom ot which some small bird constructed :i snug yet solid nest of her own. It was huns: from a low branch, and my attention w;.s attracted by its dragging the branch down, showing that It was far heavier than an empty oriole's nest should be. A friend and observer In Pennsylvania

writes me of a wood thrush who took a robin's nest after the robin family had departed, added -new lining and established herself therein. . There is always one regret in gathering these treasures of autumn that we did not have the pleasure of seeing them when they were full of life were happy homes. Brooklyn, N. Y.

I won't say primitive, either, for I do believe such simplicity is in advance of our complex arrangement. We could with advantage model our household affairs after those" of high-class Cubans. Some day. when ' I have been here long enough, maybe I will write a book of suggestions to 'Old Housekeepers on how to be eomfortable with little trouble. "You remember Mrs. Herrick gives two double-column pages of fine print to lists of absolutely reeessary cooking utensils. I think our batterie de cuisine numbers ttyeive articles. She gives instructions on how to light a tire and keep it Koing. how to economize in coal and kindlings, and all about stove lifters and things. We have no kitchen rangre. no ovens, no boilers. Our cooking Is done over three holes of burning charcoal, called here a fugone, or benrth. We never roast meat; we buy It leady roasted. But we have the nicest stewa and broiled .nd fried things.

omeletsl You simply don't know what an omelet can be. We never bake bread; we buy that In delicious long, crusty loaves. We do no washing at home and here U a sad drawback we have little hot water. But all that excellent advice about washtubs, boards, wringers, irons, starch, etc., is thrown to the winds. So is the teaching on cleaning woodwork, carpets, rugs and curtains. Our floors arc marble or tiles, and we eliminate all possible drapery, lest it harbor ileas. We have few windows to wash, and they are generally either wide open to let In the air, or tightly closed, shutters and all, to keep out the heat. Consequently they do not get dirty. Besides, this is not a smoky place. We hardly use butter or milk; they are both poor and expensive, and ice to keep them fresh Is a luxury. Thus we have no need of a big Icebox, and the precepts on keeping it sweet fall unheeded. "All this may sound uncomfortable to you, but native cooks do wonders in the way of savory cooking! and we do not require such heavy meals as at home. We use more salads and wine and cheese; we have an early coffee and a second dejeuner, like the French, a custom I have always liked. Theti our room3 are much more inviting, with their cool floors, rattan furniture and absence of hangings, than a bedraped and bestuffed American home would be. And though It is hard to get hot water for baths, we have plenty of cold, which is never too cold here, besides shower baths galore." A Lodger's lixperience. Philadelphia Record. A young editor took an apartment last week on South Twelfth street. The landlady said frankly to him: "I will tell you, sir, that my husband Is a worthless fellow. I have to support him and he sometimes comes home very late drunk. There is no other objection to my house." The editor said this was no matter-and thought no more of.it until a few nights later when a great uproar in the street awoke him. He looked out of the window and saw a man lyinj? on the doorstep shouting ribald things. "The husband," thought the editor.' "I'll go down and let him in." He ran forth in his pyjamas, grabbed the husband by the neck, and, jerking him into the hallway, proceeded to drag him up the stairs. But the man made strong objections to this treatment. He howled oaths and abuse, kicked, struggled, even pulled out a handful of the young editor s hair, but this was in vain, for the youth is strong and of a determined mind, and he was bound that he would do his landlady a good turn, lie had got perhaps three parts of the way upstairs with his burden when two heads were poked in the dim light over the balustrade and the landlady's voice said: "Why, Mr. Blank, what are you doing?" The editor panted as he took a fresh hold and at the same time ducked a sharp uppercut: "I'm bringing your husband up, ma'am. He's drunk again, I'm sorry to say." From the other head on the landing these words then issued in a deep bass voice: "What do you mean, young feller, by 'drunk again?' I'm this lady's husband. That man doesn't belong here." Instantly realizing his mis take, the editor dumped his charge out Into the street again. Then he returned and apologized lamely to the rightful husband for his strange word?. Alton t the Vncn of "Get Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. A Harvard professor, after telling his class in composition never to use "gotten," added that most persons should use "get" and "got" about one-tenth about as much as they do. Is he not right? "Get" means to acquire, to gain, or to procure. It is used correctly in such sentences as "Get understanding." "Please get my book," "I have got it for you from the shelf," "He is getting what you want," and also in the idioms to get at, to get away, to get down, to get home, to get near, to get off or on, to get to a place, to get the start, and to get up. If we restricted ourselves to these uses of "get" we could not be criticised, but we are likely not to do so, especlnlly when we use "got" with some form of "nave." Two mistakes "have got" instead of "have," and "have got" instead of "must," are the most common. "Get" does not mean to possess. Of course, we generally possess what we gain, or procure, but we do not necessarily do so, and "get" expresses the act of acquiring, not the act of possessing, which may follow. "Have" is the verb that should denote possession, but how many times every day do we hear "I have got" used to express possession! Someone gives us a new book. There is no effort of acquiring on our part, but we say, "I have got a new book," when "I have a new book" would be correct, as well as simpler and more elegant. This applies, of course, to the other persons and numbers. Nine time out of ten, when we hear "He has got," "They have got," "Have you got?" the correct expression would be "He has.v "They have," "Have you?" Modest ZUan. Philadelphia Press. Braggs What? Miss Komanz? Xo, she's not for me. She told me the other day that the man she marries must be handsome rather than wealthy.
