Dialect Word-List.
BY W. H. CARRUTH.
The following are some of the dialect words that have come to one observer’s ears within the past triennium. They are all from Kansas, unless otherwise noted. They are printed here to interest others, and to secure a basis for observation. The writer will be under obligations to any one who will note his familiarity with any of these words, insert others, or other meanings, and send them, with a statement of his place of birth and childhood, to him at Lawrence:
