"It won't seem like the class ball a bit without you two boys," declared Belle Meade, pouting, the next afternoon. "But if we get through," muttered Dave, "think of the gay, splendid times to which we can invite you at Annapolis and West Point." "Indianapolis and Blue Point are far away," murmured Belle, purposely misnaming both famous places. "Ann-apolis!" flared Dave
He's liable to interfere with your interior geography. . . . Say, Dingwell. Do I get to cull this bunch of longhorn skeletons you're misnaming cattle?" "You do not." The Denver man burlesqued a sigh. "Oh, well! I'll go broke dealing with you unsophisticated Shylocks of the range. The sooner the quicker. Send 'em down to the siding. I'll take the bunch." Roy rode up on a pinto. "Help!
Before I could enter protest or excuse, he was already rattling glibly away at his benevolent work; and when I perceived that he was misnaming the things, and inhospitably amusing himself at the expense of an innocent stranger from a far country, I held my peace, and let him have his way.
I wonder that they cannot distinguish the cause from the condition, which the many, feeling about in the dark, are always mistaking and misnaming.

Antelope, there, were still very plentiful, and even in my own little pasture there was a band of some 300 head. Only at certain times of the year did they bunch up together; at other times they, though still present, were hardly noticeable.
