The Word "Set."
What is the favorite word of the
English language? The Germans have
their "aching-' and "zug," which cover
many meanings. But we beat them In
the one word not "post" which you
might suspect of the supremacy of am

has achieved nearly seventy columns in
tbe new English dictionary. It Is a
small word, but its meanings are al
most unlimited. Yen should set to

day in a hundred senses. And It would
be n plensant. popular game to set
down the number of ways In which
you have used that word during the
