Extractions: In 1856, Francis C. Woodworth, the founder of Woodworth's Youth's Cabinet , published several pieces in connection with his trip to the embattled Kansas Territory, as he traveled with the Kansas Committee of Investigation, from Washington, DC. " Uncle Frank in Kansas " includes a description of the Territory, with some words about the Shawnee forced to emigrate there. " The Prairies of Kansas " describes his journey from Lawrence to Leavenworth, noting casually that "Almost every body in Kansas goes armed." THE PRAIRIES OF KANSAS, by Francis Woodworth (from Woodworth's Youth's Cabinet , November 1856, pp. 143-147) When I returned from my western excursion my mind was full of the things I had seen, and I felt disposed to talk about them incessantly. But remembering that when one's mind gets filled up in this way, one is apt to wear out people's patience by this continual stream of talking, I thought I would wind up what I had to say in good time, before any body began to yawn. But it seems that I wound up rather too soon; for a great many of my readers have written to me, begging me to go on with these western sketches. Well, I will tell you a little more about Kansas, I guess. If you are so anxious to hear about the West, does n't it follow that the farther west my scenes are laid, the better you will like them? I can't stop now to inquire whether this is good logic or not, but leaving you to determine that matter, I will go on with my rambling sketches. That was an interesting tour which I made from Lawrence to Leavenworth. It was in the latter part of April. The prairies and woods abounded with beautiful flowers at that time. The weather was so warm, that summer clothing was generally worn. The birds made music for us all the way. There were four in our party, all from different States, and our driver was from Sweden. But we got along very well together. Though we did not agree in every thing, we did agree in many things, and we endeavored not to magnify the points of disagreement, but to make the most of the points in which we could agree.

Extractions: Main There's been a lot of feedback on the "partitive participial relatives" that I discussed a couple of days ago. These are examples like "At present, personal injury cases are heard by many different Judges, some of whom having no experience in this field ." Steve at Language Hat wrote about the topic, and his (literate and erudite) commenters commented on it, and Neque Volvere Trochum at entangledbank provided more analytic depth (as did N.V.T.'s literate and erudite commenters), and I got a bunch of email from our (l. and e.) readers. Andrew Durdin wrote in with some examples from classic texts (given below). Leaving aesthetic judgments to the side, I'll summarize the results by saying that most people seem to agree with me that the construction is ungrammatical, but some agree with Haj Ross (and the writers of the googled examples) in thinking that it's OK. However, I wrote "seem to agree with me" because there are several different constructions being discussed, and it's possible to accept some of them while rejecting others. That's the way my own reactions fall out, for example. In my original post, I mentioned one such distinction in passing, and passed over the other in silence the post was already too long but the result was that some people misunderstood what I meant, so I'll try to clarify it here. As before, those who are not interested in English syntax will want to turn their attention to some of our other topics, say

...bring Lost Bird Home Francis Crane Pretty Voice is the son of Lost Bird s brother, Abraham/Thomas.He lived at Bridger until he was 7 years old, then moved to St. Francis where http://www.dickshovel.com/LstBrd.html
Extractions: A family reunion, so to speak, took place at the Dupree district #1 Community Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 25, with attendees coming from as far as Belle Fourche, Sisseton and St. Francis. A main topic of conversation at the gathering was Lost Bird, an infant survivor of the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. After being taken from the massacre site by General Leonard Colby, she was adopted and raised by his non-Indian family and spent much of her adult life searching for her biological parents in South Dakota. She died in California in 1920. Through media sources the Crane-Pretty Voice families have heard it said that Lost Bird had no relatives and this troubled them since they know it to be untrue. The relatives are here on Cheyenne River and they are interested in setting the record straight. They would also like to see the body of Lost Bird (which was searched for, repatriated and reburied at the Wounded Knee Memorial mass gravesite in 1991) returned to the Bridger area where the biological mother and father are buried. Some of the direct descendents of Lost Bird who live in the area are Angeline Bear Eagle Taylor and her brother Matthew Bear Eagle, who are grandchildren of Walter Joe Crane Pretty Voice, a brother of Lost Bird. He (Joe) and his wife Emma (Bissonette) provided a home for Julia Rock Crane Pretty Voice who was Lost Bird's mother. Other direct descendants are Virginia Crane Pretty Voice Ozuna, daughter of Walter Joe Crane Pretty Voice; Virginia's sister Dorothy Crane Pretty Voice Alvarez; Frieda Holy Bull Condon, Gary Holy Bull and Curtis Circle Bear are grandchildren of Sophia Crane Pretty Voice Holy Bull, sister of Lost Bird.

Extractions: The fact was, his lordship the Earl of Dorincourt thought in those days, of many things of which he had never thought before, and all his thoughts were in one way or another connected with his grandson. His pride was the strongest part of his nature, and the boy gratified it at every point. Through this pride he began to find a new interest in life. He began to take pleasure in showing his heir to the world. The world had known of his disappointment in his sons; so there was an agreeable touch of triumph in exhibiting this new Lord Fauntleroy, who could disappoint no one. He wished the child to appreciate his own power and to understand the splendor of his position; he wished that others should realize it too. He made plans for his future. Sometimes in secret he actually found himself wishing that his own past life had been a better one, and that there had been less in it that this pure, childish heart would shrink from if it knew the truth. It was not agreeable to think how the beautiful, innocent face would look if its owner should be made by any chance to understand that his grandfather had been called for many a year "the wicked Earl of Dorincourt." The thought even made him feel a trifle nervous. He did not wish the boy to find it out. Sometimes in this new interest he forgot his gout, and after a while his doctor was surprised to find his noble patient's health growing better than he had expected it ever would be again. Perhaps the Earl grew better because the time did not pass so slowly for him, and he had something to think of beside his pains and infirmities.

Unlike their counterparts on Have I Got News For You , the News Quiz panellists don't have a clue about what's coming up. I read all the national newspapers pretty thoroughly, especially in The News Quiz weeks, but I still have this lurking fear that I've missed a story about a talking hamster (or the outbreak of World War 3) and will be asked about it.

Extractions: 10 october 1997 The melodic post-punk guitar screech adopted by bands like Nirvana and their many followers was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1986. That's when Charles Michael Kitteridge Thompson IV adopted the moniker Black Francis and recruited his college roommate, Joey Santiago, and local musicians Kim Deal and David Lovering to round out a band whose influence would far outlive its brief career. The Pixies went on to blend gnarled surf guitar riffs and intergalactic lyrics into a sound that sprawled across four albums and earned the band the descriptive tag of "the Beach Boys on acid" before calling it quits in 1991.

Francis Langford OTR MP3 List With loads of scripts being tossed in her direction, and with the influx of demandfor more records, Frances was Pretty busy as it is, but she did not mind. http://www.otrcat.com/francislangford.htm
Extractions: ABOUT THE RADIO SHOW: (1914 - Present) Frances Langford, born Frances Newbern Langford on April 4, 1914 in Lakeland, Florida, started out just like every other famous singer of the time, being a Vaudevillian. As a child, Langford had a knack for the stage, mainly geared towards Operatic singing. Langford's proficiency as an operatic soprano would have earned her a successful career in that field, but a throat operation in her teenage years shattered her aspirations of ever being under the limelight of Broadway Opera. Frances recovery from her surgery found her in the beginning again, trying to work with a new voice. Given that most singers adapt to the change in their voices at a young age, Frances worked tirelessly to find her perfect tone, just like Frank Sinatra did when he was told that his natural singing voice was just too plain! After many personal singing lessons, and years of building a reputation as a sexy, but easy-going lounge singer at a quasi-famous nightclub in Florida, Frances was ready for Hollywood, or rather, was Hollywood ready for Frances!

Economic Realities Sweep Away St. Francis PND What is your background and association with St. Francis? That was prettyattractive. However, most of the hospitals around here have paid back http://www.physiciansnews.com/spotlight/1102wp.html
Extractions: Economic realities sweep away St. Francis By Candace Perry Published November 2002 Mark Webb, M.D., is a psychiatrist based in North Hills, Pa. PND: What is your background and association with St. Francis? MW: MW: PND: Did St. Francis have a different patient population that made care more costly? MW: PND: Would St. Francis keep patients longer than other hospitals? MW: PND: Do you think the health system could have been salvaged at St. Francis? MW: PND: What role did the medical staff play in the critical decision-making over the past two years? MW: MW: PND: What specific impacts did the liquidation have on physicians? MW: PND: Did a lot of physicians jump ship early on, or did they wait until the end? MW: I saw a good number leave within that three-year period, but it was still a minority of physicians. In the last year there was some pretty heavy negotiating going on with these physicians to go into another hospital system, as they had no choice. Their patients are going to get sick, they will need critical care beds and admission to hospitals, and if St. Francis is not around, they absolutely had to get credentialed somewhere else, which they did with the local hospitals. Everyone is going their own way. Probably the majority will go on staff and salaried staff at some of the other hospitals. Others may choose the private practice route or may choose to work with an entirely different system. There may be some who choose to work for a managed care system, which pays well if you do what it mandates.
