PUBLIC PESTS—NO, 18, LBEIT The-Pest-Who-Will-Not-Let-Others- Listen has already been “sbushed,” we gladly band him more of the same, as he appears in various guises at the theatre; To the Editor ef The Evening World; ‘The Theatre Pest is one of the most exas- perating of public nuisances.

WILLIAM JAMES POWETT, Fe are not hankering to discover any worse than that of a hajf-cremated five-center, nor ting sight than lately chewed, 7 Peg Words You Use Incorrectly No. 1. H man as well as to the truck driver. One speaker misuses @ word, Some one else repea‘s the mistake, and so it goes on until a million people are giving words wholly incorrect meanings. Here are a few examples: | AFFABLE—We sapenk of a man an “affable” to | hin friends, his employer, his family. “4ffabie,” | Flahtly used, implies only @ kindly bearing toward an inferior. A king, thus, may be “affable” to his servants, A man cannot be “affable” to his equals or superiors. AGGRAVATE—This word ie one of the worst abused in the language. One refers to an “agera- vating” toothache or noise or, bit of ill luck, "“afe- era literally means “to add weight to” or to “increas By pility extra burdens on yourself you “aggravate” your present burdens, But an noyances or burdens cannot “aggravate” you. They do not add to your weight or increase you. | “APT’—Here is a term that most people use to define “likely.” “He is apt to do it,” means ‘with them “he ts likely to do it.” means is “prompt,” “clever” or “de! “apt” pup!!, But we cannot say he will be “apt” to become @ pupil. : DILAPIDATE—Is misused in nine out of ten | instances, ‘Dilapidate” means to remove one Stone of a structure from down stone iiding is ‘wooden house not be. Nor can hat or anything ROU 'UL—O | tabl ap the word's formation merely “full of bounty.” Is a load of coal ful boun:y? The man who sent the coal as a gift was bountiful. But the coal is not. Do you see | the difference? BALANCE—A balance {# an instrument for | weighing and the word also means the difference between two sides of means to counterpoise or to compare. Yet people say “I am off for the ‘balance’ of the day,” or “The balance’ of the members refused to vote.” Balance in such a sense is in no sense at all. |. CALCULATE—One speaks of cold weather an | “caloulated’ to freeze the ponds; of overwork as “calculated” to cause @ breakdown. This is all } wrong, “Calculate” means to compute or to plan. , You may calculate a way out of a difficulty. But | do you ge that the cold weather made a {ealculation to freeze the ponds or that people | overwork with a calculation that thereby they will be able to break down? Calculation implies forethought; not mere logical but unexplained possibilities.

Paste the title on the front cover, which can be rein- forced with cardboard); In this way the books will last for years and at less than one-twenticth the cost it would take to purchase them at a book store, Iam saving “The Return of Tarsan” in this manner and intend to save the remaining nine when they are published.

The thietio refuge it. Leicester's scouts had reported that Out from Hereford rode the Prince and his guards, Edward rode the flectest horse and af his belt jingled a purse heavy with gold. As the party rode on he fell to comparing some of the guard’s horses with others, offering to wager big sums as to which were the fieetest. Glad to earn roynl gold so easily, the guards rode dozens of races, getting the last atom of speed from their chargers. At sunset they turned homeward; their horses exhausted—all but Edward's. Edward set spurs to his horse and thundered ayay toward the stranger on the hilltop. The rds tried to follow and to catch him, but their horses were worn out and could ccarcely move faster than‘a walk. The Prince joined the man who awaited him. Together they galloped away to where a party of the loyalists were hidden; thence to a distant Place of saféty. Within a few days the news spread abroad that the Prince was free. Throngs of men flocked to his standard. At the head of a streng army he marched against the rebel barons. Edward first met and routed an army led ey Leicester’s son; then turned to fight Leicester Kimeelf. By a bit of brilliant strategy he’ quickly had the Earl at his mercy. As the battle began Lelcester cried aloud in despair: “It \s over! The Lord have mercy on gur souls, for our bodies are Princo Mdward's.” . Leicester's army destroyed! and Leicester himself was killed. For nearly two years thereafter, the civil war continued to rend England. By the end of that time, the Prince had crushed his father’s foeg and his own and was master of the Kingdom. Soon afterward, on Henry's death, he became King’ Edward I. It was Edward, by the way, who, by playing & trick on the Welsh people, originated the title “Prince of Wales.” The Welsh were at enmity with their English masters. Edward, to pacify them, promised they should be ruled by a Prince born in Wales who could speak no word of Eng- lsh. Soon afterward, at Carnarvon Castle, Bd- ward's wife gave birth to a son. Edward pre- sented the new born baby to the Welsh as their, Prince, declaring the infant in every way filled the promised conditions, as it was bora Wales and could speak no English, As they mounted «| hill they saw a horseman on its summit. distant rider waved his hat.
