INDIANA FOLK

By Paul L. Haworth and O. G. S. A frequent source of error is the on certain occasions at least, in some use of a good word in a wrong sense, parts of the State: "Jerusalem

Judged bv the standard of the Queen's Endish, "mad." "scholar" c "and "fix" are words often misused in Indiana. Very often we hear a person utter such an expression as "I. was mad at him." If the speaker means to say that he was so enraged as to be well-nigh insane, "mad" is the word to use; but if the foelincr was of. a milder sort, he

should 'say, tfI was angry at him."ja similar form, "dagont" in "SentiIt should be qbserved, however, that mental Tommy"), "for the land "mad" in the sense of angry occurs sakes," "my goodness," "oh, my,"

in the Bible and elsewhere. "Schol ar," is bv many people used inter ehaiigeably with student or pupil, but ,

strietly speaking, while all scholars ( parent Iy inoffensive, in reality mean are students and some are pupils, the ( much more than may appear at first vast majority of students and pupils ' glance. Posibly the woman who are not scholars. Scholar is more ( said that the three authors she Mas properly used to designate a person accustomed to remember when she of high intellectual attainments, got her fingers against the stove were "The teacher sent all the scholars ," Dickens, Howitt Burns" --was not home" is incorrect.' "To fix," j aware that "dickens" means little which means to fasten or make per-j devil (it is a contraction of the old mauent, is often misused in the sense ( dimutive devilkins.) Change the r of to mend or repair, as in the sen-; in darn to m and you have the origtence, "I have just fixed the fence" . ial of this word. "Dinged if I i. e., "I have just repaired the don't" means "damned if I don't," fence." "Smart," in the sense of while "gosh danged," '.'gosh aintellectual, e. g.?"IIe's a real smart mighty," etc., are stronger still. And

boy;" "clever," in the sense of o-oodnatured or kindly, e. g., " He's been mighty clever to me," and "mean," in the sense of bad or wick-; ed, e. lit awfully mean to her," are also colloquialisms freouenuy i.earu iu jnuiana. 1 1 T "I"

Persons who have lived in the rural RlltT 111 verse. Of the two Egglesdistricts of the State will recognize ton 1S more distinctively Hoosier than the following very, common expres-! Ille.V- As most persons are aware, sions: "All-git-out," as in "It's a-'tlie dialect in Riley's poems is "docrainin' to beat all-git-out;" "pas- i tored" somewhat to meet the exigensel," as in "They're jist a passel of ('ies f meter of the rhythm; he fools;" "hump vour stump," as in occasionally manufactures a phrase "Hump vour stumps old woman, and lo slW off b tongue easily. Some o-u n mVn cnnnV-" "frallnsps " for . Rrs criticisms have been made of-

suspenders; "fixins," as in "pie, an' IJll(iy tins score, but, we think, cakepan' chicken, an' sich fixin's" , entirely without justification cer(said to be common in Pennsylva- tam,lv with none if there be such a nia); "mitten," to give the "sack" j nuZ ns Poetlc license, or if success or the " hooks ;" "seuldugery," i. e.; Justifies means. trickery; "piece of calico," i. e., aj Egglcston, to the other hand dewoman; "finicky," i. e., finical ; ' spite some serious clefects iu his lit- " slather," as in "He just slathers ' eraiy style reproduces with remark-

away and says anything;" snenanioran," to cheat; "thing-a-majig, as in "What kind, of a thing-a-majig have you got there? , "Socdolager," an expression frenntlv henvd in somfi loenlities. is 1 said to be connected in its derivation with doxology. The doxology comes near the end of a "meeting,", and when a man or boy gives another a ' socdolager," (the similarity in sound must be apparent), the end of the fight is at hand.' A student of Indiana folk-speech meets with many striking and forcible expressions. "He's rich, he has heaps of money," is used by persons in some rural districts to convey the idea of wealth. Others substitute "sights" or "gobs" for "heaps." Yet others use a ranker word still: "He's rich, he jist has guams of money," as though the gold were smeared over the person ot the Jortunate possessor. "Between you and me and the gatepost," is a formula used in impressing the necessity of secrecy. "When he gits a dollar it's got1 home," is an admirable description of a stingy man. "I'll sure get there or bust a biler," is a forcible expression, to say the leaast. An old woman from the hills of Brown eoifpty once expressively described to one of the writers the feelings experienced after a night spent in dancing by saving? "When I 'uz goin' home in the mornin' both sides of the road 'u'd belong to me." An examination of some of the folk-words and phrases that havie been current . in Indiana Avill reveal many things of historical interest. Think, for example, of the testimony on former economic conditions contained in the expression "sharp bit." In the early days there was but little or no small change in the country, nor was it convenient for traders coming from New Orleans and elsewhere to bring with them any oilier t'uau the imei coins. In order to make smaller change, the settlers cut these coins into pieces, and these pieces .were known as "sharp bits." The demand for words and expressions to relieve overwrought feeling seems to be felt bv all humanity Hoosier humt3r as well as otherwise. The blood of the Hoosier is less easily heated than that of his brother across the Ohio. Yet, if one is to judge from the number of swear words and exclamations in use in our State, it would seem that e ven we ! occasionally feel their need. Of the j following list of exclamatory expres

sions, all are considered in good form

- SPEECH.

crickets," "shucks," "by Tins'. "by cracky," "dinged if I don't," "jeeminy-criminny-whiz," "gosh danged, " " gosh a 'mighty, " "I swan," "gee whiz," "gee whil liken," (formed on Jerusalem), "by gravy," "by grab," "dad zooks," "dad burn," "by :nm," "great scott," "all-fired," "I'll be dogon 'd," or "dagon'd," (Barrie uses nit i itrivciis, "plague take it," "laws-a-mercy," "oh, foot," "oh, sugar." Many of these phrases, apso it goes. A few Avoids concerning the writers of Tndiniiii. li:ilrrt will irliniK l t , , , , ftf these the two greatest are, of course, Klhvaril Eggleston and James Whit t.omb Kilev Eggleston in prose and abJe fidelity the real Hoosier dialect Gf the southern part of the state. Of course, it may occasionally occur to SOme of his readers that the talk of 8uch characters as Mis. Means, or of tbe Rev- Mr- Bosaw, the hardshell Baptist in "The Hoosier Schoolmaster," is overdrawn, but any one that is acquainted with even the Mrs. Meanses and the Bosaws of today knows that in this respect he "underdraws" rather than overwraws. Eggleston does, however, overdraw some of his characters. In most cases he is moderataely skillful in his use of the various methods by which a speaker may be made by the language he uses to betray his own character or to reveal that of another. Every one that has read "The Hoosier Schoolmaster" must have felt the effectiveness of the iteration and reiteration of "no lickin', no larnin,' says I,' by Pete Jones, and of "We're all selfish akordin' to my tell," and "to be sure" by .the bas ket maker, who "fit" the British at Lundy's lane. But, on the other hand, some have felt that an excessive use of such methods has often resulted in a caricature rather than a character. From -the title one would naturally expect that the author of "The Gen tleman from Indiana," was a writer of Hoosier dialect. As a matter of fact, Tarkington is not to be so class ed. "The Gentleman from Indi ana," in the first plaee, is not a dialect story; and further, s far as the individuality of the dialect it does contain is concerned, the scene of the story mitrht just as well have been laid in Illinois, or Ohio, or even Kansas. The book has numerous excellent qualities, but they are not such as come from a skilful use of dialect. Certainly if the author possesses a tithe of the knolwedge of folk-speech possessed by Riley or Eggleston, he has not displayed it. To a genuine Hoosier, "The Gentleman from Indiana" is unreal. Such an one mueh prefers the author's less labored and really 'delightful story, "Monsieur Beaucaire." Before closing, we quote the substance of some very pertinent remarks bearing on the subject of Hoosier dialect in literature, recently made to one of the writers by Dr. Weatherly, of .the State University. "A few months ago," said he, "I met a typical Hoosier in New York city. He was perfectly natural, perfectly individual; but you will not find him in any of the books for, the truth is, no one has yet succeeded in getting a real, live Hoosier into a book. Eggleston has given us his

The Classified Advertisement is one of the most unique of modern newspaper inventions. It is small and unpretentious, but it seizes upon the interest of the reader with an iron grip and will not let go. It sets him dreaming of an opportunity

to purchase a farm, or a business opening, or a chance to es

tablish a profitable agency at

position, or where to rent a house, or room on short notice.

You will note below a modest half column as the beginning of our Department of Classified Advertising. This depart

ment, small at present, will in a short time assume large proportions, and a class of people will be formed here just as in other cities, who buy a newspaper for the sake of the adver

tising it contains.

Some moderately good Hoosier dialect stories there undoubtedly are, but the characters in them have too often been either caricatures or else mere automatons. Bent Her Double. "I knew no one, for four weeks, when I was sick with typhoid and kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Annie Hunter of Pittsburg, Pa., "and when I got better, although I had one of the best doctors I, couldl get, I was bent double and had to rest my hands on my knees when I walked.
