Show Reformed Tronti notation. The question of "What's in a nameP'' ono of Ihtj principal hotels for some time, and an Englishman named Pugh is the cause of it. Mr, Pugh is an iron broker for simio eastern or foreign concern, and more than this he is a thorough English cockney, to whom the letter II is an entirely en-tirely useless invention. Two mutual frieuds of this gentleman met one day in the hotel and one asked the other if ho had seen Pugh. The person questioned ques-tioned appeared not to know the gentleman gentle-man by that name, and he asked "Who?" "Why, that little Englishman, you know who 1 mean; Pugh; I have seen you talk with him more than once,'' replied the first. "Oh, you mean Pug," said the other; "he must bo Pug accord-big accord-big to hisown pronunciation, for he always al-ways leaves off his Hs." Among a certain cer-tain clique nowudays Mr. Pugh is only known as "Pug." Chicago Herald. |
