Early Rose, one of the millionaire's trotter>,

London Letter.
The American in London at present is of
three several kinds: there is the one who
comes over here to live. who adopts English
ways and affects English peculiarities. and
who would not be taken for an American for
the world: who says II say don't you
know, and ''ali that sort OF thing" who
seeks To forget and make people forget he
was ever III the states and who seldom
more than hall succeeds in either Then there
is the American who doesn't kiio English
ways. and does not care to particularly. vet
il not quite sure If American WAYS will do;
who is timid and hesitates about everything.
who hesitatngly gives the cabby 2 shillings
for shilling fare, and pays another shilling
OF two because the man is surly; who keeps
out of the way Of people as much as he can.
slips around the corners and tries to do his
sight seeiag on the sly. and, failing this slips

costs him, thanks them for telling him moth

ries 10 his hotel 10 get rid of this new and
perplexing world. where the hireling who

Another American one sees, and am Civ

the inVeterate sightseer, who will I've hindcred

who having heard enough of the communion
service AT Westminster Abbey, gets up, and.
after walking through the church several
times, trying; the various DOORS finally asks
an Old man sitting conspicuously in the very
center of the church: How under the sun
do you get ont of Ills thing!' Which ques-
ton. the old man being stone deaf, has to be
repeated several times; who quarrels with
his cabby, and insists ON giving only what is

Kissing in England.

Kissing in England was certainly
known and practiced in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries and practiced
with an easy familiarity which shows that
the custom was general. Indeed. so gen.
eral was the use of the kiss that it was
as usual as the bow. A gentleman taking
lady to her seat from the dance invari-
ably kissed her, and if he had not would
have been voted very badly bred fellow
How much older English kisses were
is not very clear. Suffice it to say that
the custom has outlived to our day,
though fashionable and general games,
in which kissing formed a prominent
part, are now becoming rarer than they
were a quarter of century ago.
The literature of kisses is curious
There is a story retailed in the tBroad
Stone of Honor" of an English knight
riding through France to the Field of
the Cloth of Gold. His horse cast shoe
at certain village, and the Seigneur
whereof had departed. to the same rem
devious, but the Seigneur's lady hospita-
bly, entertained the traveller. She came
out of her castle attended by twelve dam
sells fair TO see; ''and," said the dame,
''forasmuch as We have in England such
custom as that a man may kiss wo-
man, therefore Twill that We kiss me, and
ye shall also kiss allthese my maidens,
which thing the knight straightway did
and rejoiced greatly 'thereat.
The quaintness of the last phrase un-
doubtedly indicates the young mans
feelings at the salute with considerable
exactirude.
In Africa and other parts of the world
outside the circle civilization kissing
is as yet an unknown art.
An African traveller once offered kiss
under favorable circumstances TO a young
lady of king Mumbo Jumbo's court, but
she recuiied In great alarm, observing
that she was mot yet worthy to be
eaten. "

he added, as she wiped the tears from her
cheeks, ''but could enjoy it more if l

She made him a ceremonious obeisance,

before he had fully realized her purpose.
She did not reappear during tie day.
Itsw their last day at sea. and julius
was in despair. The jetties' light was in
sight when he retired, and when he awoke
in the morning the smooth gliding mo-
tion of the ship announced that they were
in the river. He was in no haste to see
the low shores of the Mississippi, in fact
he. felt at the moment that he hated them !;
yet he sprang up, dressed with dispatch
and mounted to the deck Everybody
was there but the one he sought He
stood near the companion way, watching
furtively and starting at every step. She
did not come, neither was she at the
breakfast table.
The hours glided by, the city rose into
view, passengers came on deck with
satchels and umbrellas, prepared for going
ashore, but still that particular cabin-door
remained closed. They were at the
wharf, the staging was run out, and .
dozen or more citizens rushed across
with that strange eagerness so inexph-
cable to the voyager, whose eagerness
impels him in the opposite direction.
Julius, still maintaining his watch at the
companion way, felt himself gently put
aside by a tall, gray haired gentleman,
in crown coat, who went with careful
haste down the brass steps. He heard a
littles cry, and peeping through a sky
light he saw Miss Elton in the arms of
the gray haired gentleman, her head
pressed against the bown coat, and her
eyes upturned to meet his spectacled grze
Her unclep he muttered, peevishly T;
"who the deuce is he, anyhow"
He moved discontentedly to the side
and looked at the people hurrying ashore
''Hello, Iuliusl Going to spend the
night aboard2" cried Drake, coming up
with duly chalked valise in each hand
''Oh, Mr.. Hilder," exclaimed another
and more musical voice. "Wait, uncle,
l must introduce you; Mr. Kilder has
been very kind to me-"
What, Jullus Why, my dear boy,
how dye? My wife wrote me you were
coming over with her." His hand was
grasped with a hearty pressure, and he
found himself gazing into the spectacled
eyes of Mr.. Smollett.
"Oh, stupidest of stupids" he ex-
claimed Ias he thrust slippers and brushes
into hisvalise in the privacy of his cabin.

Bolivar.

Simon Bolivar is the name to whom,
above any other person, South Amer
lea owes its freedom from Spanish OPP
preston. A native of Venezuela, al-
ter visiting England and the United
States in 1909, he determined to liber.
ate his own country from foreign dom
ination. After the instruction of
Caracas, April 10, 1910, he was sent to
London to interest the British gov
eminent in behalf of the insurgents,
or patriots" but, finding this vain, he
entered the army under Gen. Miranda,
and fought in many successful engage
ments, The Spaniards, however. re
gained possession of Venezuela, and
Bolivar fled to Curacao. Here, with
the aid of the governor of New Grenada
he raised new army, with which he
entered Caracas as a cOnqueror on ALI
gust 4th, 1918. lie was hailed as the
liberator Of Venezuela, and appointed
dictator for life. Six years later, at
Angostura, he received the title of
president, with the powers of dictator.
He next freed New Grenada from
Spanish rule, and attached it to Ven
e2uela as a republic, under the name
of Columbia being rewarded with the
presidency of the new state. In 1924
the Spanish were finally driven from
Peru, and within three years the Boil
ivian code was adopted by Bolivia
AMI Ecuador. But jealousies and
cOnspiracies arose, and scarcely had
the "liberator" of South America been
appointed president for life, when he
was elected from the Office and bitter
ly denounced as IN ambitious adyen-
turcr Venezuela separated from Co
lombia Immediately. Bolivar retired
to Cartagena in failing health, and
died at San Padro in 1880, but not un-
til the government of Bogota, repent
ing of its ingratitude, had voted him a
pension of 10000 piasters, with the
thanks of the Colombian people. lie
died in the prime Of life, at the age of
AZ wears,
