StUlicl Johnson sained little money
‘when he compiled an English diction*
nry, hot the work served to make his
reputation secure. He had been in
London ten yean, living obscurely as
• hack writer and slowly winning a
reputation when he was given a
chance^to prepare the dictionary, for
which he was to receive $4,500.
It took him seven years to complete
the tremendous work and be had to
pay several assistants. The work is
remembered not because of Its merits,
but largely because of Johnson’s letter
to the end of Chesterfield, who bad
rebuffed the editor until he heard the
dictionary was nearing completion and
then hoped to be regarded as one"of
the benefactors of the scholar.
Upon the publication of the diction
ary, Johnson was given recognition as
the greatest living figure In English
literature. Fielding was dead, Rich
ardson was living In retirement. Gib
bon was in Switzerland, Gray and
Cowper were publishing little. John
son was hailed as England’s greatest
scholar. The honor had been slow in
coming, for 18 years had passed since
he had left Lichfield to make his for
tune In London.—Kansas City Star.

Sesquipedalian Words
Mark Twain was not the only per
son to find amusement In the German
language. A foreigner thus sccoonts
for the deliberation with which the
negotiations held at Locarno were
carried on.
“Our interlocutors cannot end their
explanations.'* said this foreigner.
“With the best will In the world they
cannot pronounce rapidly such words
as this: Antlatkoholcongressmitgied-

them to recipients, as a sign of hqnor.

What in de world is de farmer gonna

I hear the people say.
De boll v/eevil done eat up his cotton
And he’s got his debts to pay.
De bugs done kill all his melons,
De rain keeps pouring down;
jHow’s.he gonna face dat bank man
When pay day comes around?
He can’t sell com and fodder—
, He’ll have no money at all;
If he ain’t got hawgs and taters
He won’t eat much this fall.

And old Winter will knock at de

Dey rides him through thick and

But if he fall down by de wayside
Dey'll all stand off and grin.

Dis world will be one helluva mess
