the feminine sex are devils. But the
chances are that the book was gotten up
for sale by an uneducated dancing master
who had learned how to swear among the
greasers, and hoped to make a raise be-
fore his identity was discovered. His
writings appear to indicate a shaken
mental apparatus, with extreme incon-
tinuity and a tendency to change the
subject without reason. His grammar
is also extremely faulty, as witness the
sentence: "Es V. fuerte, Jorge?" "Is
five cents fOrty?" Only fool would ask

seems a plausible belief that they will
play an important part in modifying, by
inJermarriage, the race characteristics of
the typical American. And it hardly ap
pears to be too great q hazard of Veracity
to affirm that in the large cities, at least,
the advent of this petite brunette is al
most at hand.
This is particularly true of New York
city, where anyone who walks about with
his eyes open, cannot fail to observe the
noticeable preponderance i'll numbers of
brunettes. In both sexes the brunette
type of beauty largely predominates, and
the women, while dark compIeXloned,
are also quite small and usually of well
rounded figures. In Boston and Jersey
City practically the same conditions OBJ
tain, but Brooklyn has a rather larger
percentage of blondes.
The blonde, however, if she is to be
| found in any numbers, must be looked
for outside of the nations metropolis.
| The tair-faced and light-haired American
woman of to-day is rather q product of
| the villages and the country than of the
| Eastern cities where the population is
densest. There are blonde girls in abund-
ance on the East side Of New York,
where the Germans congregate; there are
| some, too, on Murray Hill, of aristocratic
| lineage; and in Harlem, where many
Swedes live, there are numbers of light
haired girls, but altogether they form a
comparatively small percentage OF the
! city's inhabitants. The real stronghold
of the blonde is in the West and North
west. There are many blondes in Min
/ nesota and the Dakotas, the Otlsprings of
Scandinavian parents, and they abound
| in Nebraska and Southern Illinois, where
! large colonies of Germans have settled.
There are nuititudes of 1air-haired girls
! i'll Eastern Pennsylvania, the daughters
/ of the Pennsylvania Dutch; and in Della
ware, in Kentucky, in Baltimore and in
| Philadelphia they are not rare. Eut very
generally in the East, and especially in
| the large cities, brunette women greatly
outnumber the blondes, as they do, III
! fact, the world over.
a partial explanation of the causes that
! have brought about this singular distrib-
ution of races in AmeTica-the dark
| haired in the cities and the 1air-haired in
the towns and count3y-nay be discov-
cred by an examination of the statistics OF
immigration. In 1880 an almost equal
number OF darll-haiFed Italians, French,
! Hungarians and Poles, and Of light
/ haired Germans, SWedes and Irish came
| to America, but the latter being tor the
! most part country-born and bred. sought
! the farms and towns OF the Western and
! Northern States, while the former, known
through all time for their fondness for
city life, showed themselves true to their
| national characteristics and remain in the

DESERVED A THRASHING
The Fresh Young Fellow Who slapped
His Man on tho Back.

1t was not kind thing to do, but he
was young newspaper reporter and was,
whether justly or unjustly, regarded as
"fresh,' says the New York tribune.
His city editor sent him up to meeting,
and he started out a little too eagerly, for
he got the address wrong: he was not
so familiar with New York as reporters
generally are, and by the time he got the
address Strengthened out and found the
correct one the meeting was over and he
looked only upon closed doors.
On the elevated train he met three
other reporters going down to their
offices, and he told them his dilemma.
''Oh, it's lucky you got on this train,'
said one brother newsgatherer. "The
very man you want to see is on this train.
There he sits down there in the cross-seat
the old man with the umbrella and the
gray beard.p
And he's q peculiar old chap" said a
second man. You have to know how to
treat him. He's the President of the So
ciety, you know"
You want to be diplomatic" put in
the third conspirator "You've got to let
him see that you know him. You want
to come up behind him, clap him on the
back-a good, rousing whack. you know
and say: Hello, Jenkins, old boy, how
did the little shindy come off last night?'
Then he'll think he knows you and will
tell you the whole story"
'Be sure you crack him on the back, !"
was repeated.
"Oh, trust me-" said the young re-
porter, with a confident smile. Down the
aisle he went, and, reaching the "Presi-
dent" he gave him a terrific thump on
the back. For one second there was an
awful calm. Then Jenkins, old boy"
raised his umbrella and started for the
offender. 1t was chase for the door,
the young man yelling out his apologies,
the old man frantically brandishing his
umbrella and making violent whacks at
man reached the door in advance, how
ever, and, darting through it, slammed it
in the old mans face. As the wrathfll
old gentleman was returning TO his seat,
and painting, three young men, without
consciences, were letting out howls of
laughter.

win She Ultimately Supersede the
Blonde in America2

Blonde in Americas
The fact of the matter is that the scien-
lists of the modern times are dealing
harshly with the blonde and are relegat-
ing her to obscurity while sounding the
praises of the brunette. Indeed, no more
interesting theory concerning the future
of the fair sex was ever advanced than
that put forward by these same scientists
prophesying the utter extinction of the
blonde in America and the evolution of a
uniform type of small brunette women
women of less than medium stature, with
dark hair and eyes, a somewhat plump
physique and complexion of pale olive
tint. Hardly generation has passed
since the British ethnologists began to
broach this theory somewhat cautiously,
and at the same time it seemed very ex-
traordinary prediction-So much so that
the date of the coming of this little dark
woman was put very indefinitely in the
remote future. But to-day, when one
considers the vast and continuous stream
of swarthy and ow-statured immigrants
pouring into America every year from
the west and south of Europe, it certainly
