Americans Abroad.

Zone scarcely feels nowadays a stran-
ger in strange land abroad" says a
woman who 'goes over" every year. sIn
western Europe, at least, Americans are
everywhere. London, Paris, Rome, Nice,
Berlin, Hamburg ali these places swarm
with them, as well as the so called less
frequented places. At a little town on
the Danube, where the boat stopped for
awhile, l started out to walk. A short
distance from the wharf saw, about to
enter house, a large, fair woman whom
/ thought looked very foreign, and sum-
moning up my best German, accosted
her as to directions. She stared at me
blankly moment, then shook her head.

openinr Letters by Law.

81 noticed a short time ago." said
washi ngton official, .'that some objec-
ton was made by Mr.. Pell. of the San
Domingo Shore Line road, to the open
ing of private letter by the chief of the
secret service bureau. III not generally
known that the rules Of the postofice
department empower inspectors to open
suspicious letters at discretion. The
public appear to be very much astonished
at this proceeding mentioned, but I assure
you that it is carried to greater extent
than even those who know all about it
suppose. In fact, under the rules of the
postoffice department almost any private
letter can be opened and read. This will
surprise some people, presume, but it
is nevertheless true, and reference to
the private instructions to postofice in
spectsrs, which are in printed form, will
convince anybody of it. Whether such
secret privileges are ever used illegiti-
mately would be difficult to find out. 1t
is good deal like arresting man on sus-
picion. AS a matter of fact, therefore,
you will see the United States mails are
no more sacred than the mails in Russia
or any other country SO far as govern
ment espionage is concerned. New

Killed hx Kindness.

A lady was walking along the crowd
ed streets of city when she saw small
green bird flying wearily above the roar
and din of traffic. 1t was SO tired it
gradually lessened its fight and soon
fell at her feet at the curbstone.
It was some ones pet canary, escaped
from its cage. The lady picked it up
tenderly and carried it struggling and
exhausted into drug store, where she
inquired if its owners were known. The
drug store people did not know, and she
borrowed a paper bag into which she
carefully placed the bird. Then leaving
her name and address she took the bird
with her and went on her way.
She walked some distance to call on
some friends and when she arrived at
the house set the paper bag on a table
and did not think of it until greetings
were over. Then she called attention to
her find, but the little, bright plumaged
thing lay dead, she having never once
thought of the necessity of giving it air.
The closed paper bag had proved air
tight, and the bird was literally killed
by kindness.-Detroit Free Press.

Yellow Flowers Bring III Luck.

Actors have queer superstition about

While at DR.. Todd's booth at the fair
grounds Miss Marie Greenwood saw
some yellow flowers, and after admiring
them asked for them. Mr.. Guibertson,
her leading man, was present and begged
her not to take them, saying they would
surely bring her i'll luck. A laugh was
indulged in at his expense and she took
the yellow flowers. In an hour the opera

A Sea Island Nine Feet Across.

Captain John Richards, of the British
ship Cambrian Monarch, reports having
passed within half mile of pinnacle
rock, showing about seven feet above the
water, in latitude 90 degs. secs. north,
longitude 1877 degs. SO secs. west. No
soundings were taken and no discolored
water was seen except close to the rock.
The sea was smooth, and from the top
sail yard the rock appeared to be about
nine feet in diameter at the waters edge,
but much larger under the water. Cap
tain Richards says he is sure that it was
not a floating object. = Philadelphia

himself in the BARRIERS chair, was speed
lily enjoying the luxury of a hair cut
and shave. After his mustache had
been curled to the young mans satisfac-
ton, he got out of the chair, put on his
hat'and coat, and taking from his pocket
what the barber supposed was twenty
five cent piece, turned around to the
barber and insisted that he should go
out and have a drink with him, as he
wished in that way to show his appre-
citation of the artistic manner in which
the tonsoriai artist had manipulated
him. The barber firmly but courteous
ly declined the invitation, saying he
never drank during business hours.

Senator Stanford Wanted TO Expel 400

Senator Stanford Wanted to Expel 200.
Stories are already beginning to come
from Leland Stanford, Jr., university,
at Palo Alto. Last week about 200 stu
dents let off the brakes of fiat car
which was standing near the university,
and many of them got aboard and start
ed down grade toward the station. In a
short time the car was spinning along at
lively rate, and the lads did not stop it
until it had reached Palo Alto. The ca..
was missing the following morning, and
a special engine had to be sent from San
Jose to haul it back.
Senator Stanford was wrathy when he
heard of the incident, and proposed to
expel the ringleaders. 1t was discovered
that there were fully 200 boys engaged
in the affair, and the senator gave orders
that they should all be required to leave.
The order would probably have been en-
forced but for Mrs. Stanford. She in
terceded for the youngsters, and excused
them by saying that it was only boyish
prank. She finally succeeded in inducing
Stanford to change his resolution.-Cor.

THeRE ARE.

Beautiful words never spoken,
Whispers of cheer that might save
Hearts drifting, weary and broken.
Down to the night of the grave.
Silence more deadly than passion,
Glances that slander can send,
Fram'd in the worlds devilish fashion,
To murder the heart of friend.
Looks, spotless virtue impeaching.
Souls lying crush'd ON the plain,
With tear frozen eyelids beseeching
The touch of loves sunlight again.
Burdens to bear for. the weaker,
Jewels to dig from Gods mine;
And gems, fairer still, to the seeker
In the angels tiara that shine.
Within us the souls silent treasure
Waiting the kiss of the light;
Sweet scented blossoms Of pleasure
Our fingers may Gull from the night.
Fruit shining ripe on tolls mountains,
Pearls that sleep under ife's sea;
Music in Gods laughing fountains
Undream'd of by you or by me.
Larks singing down in loves meadow
Throstles that pipe by the hill;
Out of times darkness and shadow,
Whispefs that comfort and thrill.
Voices within ever singing,
Melody soften'd by tears,
The phoenix of hope at last springing
Serene from the ashes of years.

Mems Clothes.

"Men are becoming as bad as women

Portable fashions in clothing" said a
Fifth avenue custom tailor, 'sand they
need dress reform preached to them al
most as much as the feminine sex. Take
the high collars that are in vogue, and
which are worn higher than ever this
fall. They almost strangle one and chafe
the skin until it is sore. Between the
heavy, hot beaver hat and the tight col
lar, badness is becoming rampant in our
cities. The high, tight collar has as
much to do with causing badness as any
other one thing. Then the modern style
of fitting the clothes forces US to make
them tight and snug all around, and this
prevents one from really enjoying life.
Tight patent leather shoes sweat and
pinch the feet until walking is painful
exercise. Every time see dude with
all of the latest style of modern clothes

to such voluntary torture. I can assure
you that if his clothes fit him he is mis-
erable. The old adage that if a mans
clothes don't fit him he is uncomfort-
able has been reversed. New York

duct not becoming an officer.
Dean was the only one IN the army

etiquette was trifing. The testimony

had been at ball or fandango on the
previous night. The Lieutenant was
standing il the bar room and was talk
