A late number of an educational journal
thus describes the trouble a Frenchman had
with the verb “break”—
“I begin to understand your language bet
ter,” said mv French friend, M. Dubois, to
me, “but vour verbs trouble me still; you
mix them up so with prepositions.”
“I am sorry you find them so troublesome,’
was all I could say.
“I saw your friend, Mrs. Murkeson, just
now,” he continued. “She says she intends
to break down housekeeping, am I right
there V*
“Break up housekeeping, she must have
said.’’
“Oh! yes. 1 remember; break up house
keeping.”
“Why does she do t lint ?’’ I a;-k*d.
“Because* her health is broken into."
“Broken down.”
“Broken down? Oh, yes! And, indeed,
since the -niall|M>\ has broken up in our
city—”
“Broken out.”
“She thinks -lu* will leave it for a few
weeks.”
“Will she leave her house alone ?”
“No, -he i- afraid it will be broken- bro
ken—how do I say thait.”
ud^ i_»
“Certainly, it is what 1 want to say.”
"Is her son to be married soon ?"
“No, that engagement is broken—bro
ken—”
“Broken off.”
"Yes, broken off.’’
“Ah. 1 had not heard of that.”
*13be ia very min about it.
broke the new - down to her last w eek. Am
I right ? I am anxious to -peak English
well."
“He merely broke the ui'iv- ; uo pre|x»si
tion this time.”
"It is hani to understand. That young
man. her son. i~ a fine young fellow; a
breaker, 1 think.”
“A broker, and a very fine young fellow.
Good day.”
So much for the vt rb “to break."
Did you ever bear two married women
take leave of each other at the gate on a sum
mer evening? This i- the way they do it.
"Good bv !”
"Good by ! Comedown and see us right
soon.”
“Yes. > I will. You come lip right soon.”
“I will. Good-by."
“Good-by! Don't forget to conic soon."
"No, I won’t. Don't you forgot to come
up.”
"I won't. Iw sure and bring Sally Jane
with you next time."
"1 will. I'd have brought her up this
time, but site wa-n't very well. She wanted
to come aw ful bad.”
"Did she, now? That was too bad. In
sure and bring the baby.”
“I will. I forgot to tell you, he’s cut ano
ther tooth.”
“You don’t say! How many has he got
now ?”
"Five. Ii make- him awful cross.”
“I guess it does, tfci - hot weather. Well,
good-by! Doul you forget to come down.”
"No, I won’t. Don’t you forget to come
up. Good-by!"
And they separate.
“You -ay you want to marry my daugh
ter ?”
“Ye**, sir.”
"Are you prepared to give her a pleasant
home and the luxuries to w hich she has al
ways been accustomed ?’’
"I don't believe I am, sir ; I only get $7 a
week.”
“Y< W. II, do you know that young
women nowadays expert to begin housekeep
ing in about tin same -tyle their parents
leave off?”
“< )h, yes ; I know all about that.”
"You do? We!!. !mw can _\ou reconcile 5-7
a week w ith my surroundings ?”
"I —I thought,” responded the intelligent
young man. while hi- face beamed with love
and Iiojm-. "that we could live right along
w ith you, you know, until the time came for
you to—to leave off, and then the matter
would—would -ort of regulate itself, you
know.”
“Your husband is in Wall street. I be

“Very precarious business, I have heard.”
“Well. I dun no.”
“But it the market take- a bad turn lie i
liable to lose his all.’’
‘‘Oh, hardly that. He get- £11 per week
for running an elevator in a big building,
and I never even heard him say there wa-a
market there. I feel perfectly -ate. madam
—unless the elevator cables give out.”
A negro in Alabama wa- brought up for
stealing a pair of chickens, but declared sol
emnly that he “'didn’t -teal dem are fow ls,”
but declared on the other hand.that the com
plainant had beaten him cruelly with a
club.
“But." -aid the ju Ige. “you’re twice a
large and strong a- he is. w by didn't you de
fend yourself?”
“Why, Jedgo see le ah ; ! had a chicken
in each hand, an' what’s two raw ehieken
ag’in a club?”
Bobby came into the house sobbing and
told his mother that Tommy White had
kicked him.
“Well Tommy White i-a wry bad boy,”
said 15obbv'- mother, giving him a large
piece of cake. "You didn't kick him hack,
did you ?"
"No,” rep! • d Bobby. Itctwecn bites*, “I
kicked him fir-t.”
