AMERICAN traders have stirred up an
interesting little rumpus on the coast of
Colombia, where they have been trading
with the San Bias Indians, much TO the dis
gust Of the Spanish speaking Colombians,
who want to keep that trade IN their own
hands. The Colombian government took
vigorous measures to stop the trading with
Americans and sent troops to the trading
stations that had been established. The
story runs that the natives hoisted
American flags left with thom for
tho purpose by the Yankee traders,
that they announced that they were
Americans and warned the Colombian
commander TO leave at once. Tho natives
were only armed with spears, bows and
knives, but they have terrible reputation
as fighters and the Colombians thought
best to retire to their ship. Mr.. Larkin,
new York lawyer, who has just returned
from the isthmus, says that no met the ecap-
tain of this force, who laughed at the story,
but admitted that II was true Mr. Larkin
went down to try to save two American
traders seized by them, but was unsuccess-
ful and bitterly commented upon tho atti-
tude of the Colombians. "The Colombians
think we are set of 'Old Betties' who
don't amount to much. If the United
States would make good impression on
them just once II would last for some time,
but our government doesn't seem inclined
to assert itself even when the property Of
American citizens is in peril"
The stories of these traders sound suspi-
ciously like filibustesing, for although tho
natives of San Bias seem to be practically
independent, their country is generally
recognized as part of Colombia, and yet
the traders say " at each of the seventeen
trading places we gave the natives flag
staff and an American flag, which they
were to fly when they saw us coming, and
cannon with which they could salute us
properly They argue that the " Indians
have never been conquered, and have
never paid tribute to the Colombian gov
ernment. The Colombans gave them poor
whisky and robbed them. Our visits have
refining influence. We are ciyilizing
them" Suppose foreigners had under
taken to give flags and cannon to tribe OF
our Indians who had never been conquered
but had received bad whisky and been
robbed. There seems to be difference be-
tween tweedledum and twoedledee.

Beauty OF Our Girls.

The beauty of American girls is a
much discussed question. 1t is said
they have no distinct points. but it
seems to me that any one who has
travelled must easily have settled upon
the salient points which go to make
up the beauty of an American girl,
says writer in the illustrated Aneri-
can. A general delicacy of outline as
we'll as coloring are demanded. A
woman 'with very large eyes and no
other charms is never rated as a
beauty here. When woman is said
to be beautiful in America it means
that she has face nodded in delicate
lines, features that are thoroughly
harmonious, a figure which is neither
prOnouncedly athletic nor too plump,
and small hands and feet. In England
If woman is six feet two, and broad
across the shoulders, she is invariably
spoken of in the society papers as
beautiful, though her feet may out
class the iron-clad and her knuckles
stretch wildly abroad.
In Italy and Spain a pair of big, ex-
pressive eyes are enough, but in Amer
lea thoroughly balanced series of at
fractions must be shown to win the
title. American girls form lofty,
gay, intrepid and dashing army, whose
audacity should be feminine They
have all of the athletic look of the En-
glish woman, without the ill-litting
gloves and ponderous boots. The as
sumption of semi-masculine attire robs
them of their greatest charm. Wo-
manliness is still the most attractive
quality of woman

cold. confident tone. You dare not
face YOUR betrothed with that shorn
head and you know it 1t was mean
trick, know. but it was i case of life
and death. Milly. | will wait for you

Billy's confidence was not misplaced.
His rooms were just round the corner.
He waited on the front steps for her
and in an hour she came. What else
could she have done? There was no
earthly explanation she could have
made. They sat in Billy's little den
all night, holding each others hands.
At dawn-long before Billy's landlady
had an opportunity to be scandalized
they had vanished. And SO the daily
papers had to record another runaway
marriage.
But the many friends of the bride
could never understand why she cut
all her beautiful hair off short.

Little Tim.

Warm hearts are sometimes found
under ragged jackets, says the n. Y.
Mail and EIpreSs, rs shown by the fol-
lowing incident:
A kit is box of tools of whatever
outfit is needed in any particular
branch of business
1t surprised the sinners and news
boys around the postoffiee the other
day to see Little Tim" coming among
them in quiet way and hear him say:
Boys, l want to sell my kit. Here's
two brushes, hull box of blacking, a
good, stout box, and the count goes for
2 shillings.n
Coin away, Tim?" inquired one.
Not 'zactly, boys, but l want a
quarter the awfulest kind just now"
Coin on skursion?" asked another
Not to-day, but must have quar-
ter" he answeaed.
One of the lads passed over the
change and took the kit, and Tim
walked straight to the counting-room
of a daily paper, but down the money,
and said: Il guess | kin write if you
give me pencil.h
With slow~moving fingers he wrote
death notice. 1t went into the pa
per almost as he wrote it, but you
might not have seen it. He wrote:
''Died-Litul Ted-of Scarlet fever;
gone up to Hevin, left one brother
WAS it your brother?" asked the
cashier.
Tim tried to brace up, but he could
MT. The big tears came up, his chin
quivered and he pointed to the count
er and gasped: II had to sell my
kit to do it, b-but he had his arm
around my neck when he d-died."
He hurried away home; but the
news went to the boys, and they gath
cred into group and talked. Tim
had not been home an hour before a
barefooted boy left the kit on the door,
step, and in the box was u boquet of
flowers. which had been purchased in
the market by pennies contributed by
the crowd of ragged, but big-hearted
boys. Did God ever make heart
which would not respond if the right
cords were touched?

Being Best Man.

1t is no small undertaking to be best
man at wedding writes Hepburn
Johns in the Pittsburg Dispatch. The
awful possibilities of the groom
usually fill the minds of the spectators,
and the best mans trials are rather
lost sight Of Still important as the
chief male assistants duties are, they
are not really so formidable as they
seemed to an Allegheny man who re-
Gently was called upon to fulfill them.
This young man was asked by an old
friend to stand up with him when he
entered the solemn estate of matrimo-
ny. He consented willingly. He is of
nervous temperament. and number
of his friends, for joke. resolved to
give him a fright. So they went to
him one by one and impressed upon
him that being best man carried with
it no small obligations. He would
have to wear new dress suit, they
told him, and a new hat, new shoes, a
new tie and so on. Besides, he would
have TO give the bride an expensive
present, and contribute literally to the
groom's expenses. One particularly
solicitouS friend was kind enough to
figure out exactly how much his per-
forinance at the wedding would cost
him. The sum total, by this fictitious
figuring, was $3.50.
Now to young man on small
salary. as tho best-man-to-be was, $3.50
was no joke. Being, as have said, of
a nervous temperament, the obligation
of spending sum SO far beyond his
means affected him powerfully. He
could not think of backing out, yet how
to scrape together the money to do
1.-THE thing well'' he hadn't an idea.
He worried himself sick about it, actu-
ally sick. and, to cut Il long story
short, when the wedding day came the
young man who should have been best
man lay seriously i'll in bed in hos
pital.
And this is strictly true. The joke
