A GAME YOUNG TRAVELLER.
He Finds Ferry Boats Harder to Beat
Than Ocean Steamships.
From the Philadelphia Press.


Wilkes-Barr July ia bright boy
of IA, in company with another little boy,
was caught stealing ride up the back
track of the Lehigh Valley road last
night when the conductor and brake
man asked the truant where he was going
he said they were bound for London He
said his name was Wilson Henry; that he
was a native of London, and his parents
were well-to-do there. He said he had
heard so much talk about the worlds fair
that he made up his mind to see it with
out penny In his pocket. He saw the
fair and was on his way back He was
well satisfied with the exhibition and
with the Americans, who, said he, are a
kind and hospitable people.
He had left London on board a steamer
as a stOwaway, and when discovered on
hoard was put to work as help to the
steward Landing at New York he stole
his rides and begged his food all the way
TO Chicago. He also managed to beat his
way into the Worlds Fair and saw all
that was to be seen, He had picked up
the other little boy and was going to take
him back with him to England. He was
satisfied that he and his companion would
make the return journey in safety. He
was given a ride by the train hands as far
as they went
What puzzled them most was how thew
should cross the ferry from Jersey City
to New York, If they could do that they
had no fears of getting to London. The
trainmen fed them with the spare Inorsels
in their pals and told them they need
not fear any trouble in crossing the ferry
to New York. They went on their way
rejoicing.

wArrERsoN ON THE MIDWAY.
The Louisville Editor Says the Shows
There Are Frauds and Fakes.


Chicago, July 19-Henry Watterson has
been studying the various things to be
found in the Midway Plaisance. He tells
the story thus:
Il had heard several remarks made
about the terribly wicked things to be
seen in the Midway, and in the interest of
mankind in general ! concluded that it
was my duty to see them and, if neces-
sary. TO raise my voice and WELD my pen
in saying things about them. Well, have
seen them, and the verdict l have reached
is that the Midway Plaisance has no right
TO be connected in any way with such a
wonderful show as the worlds fair.
There Is nothing of interest there to
me except the types Of people. The So
called shows are frauds and fakes
Those that are advertised as being OBJ
scene. and vulgar are weak and vapid.
There is nothing terrible about them at
all, and the mysterious whispered com
ments upon their broadness are unnec-
essary."

oouRTesY AMoNa CHINESE.
Americans Liable to Be Surprised by Gen
 tle Manners Among the Poor.

Americans Liable to Be Surprised by Gen tle Manners Among the Poor.
 l The Chinese are, as a rule, the most courteous people 1 have ever come in contact with, says Arena. When it is taken into consideration thats the ma- jority of the Chinese who come to this country belong to the lower or lowest class, their gentle manners are truly surprising. I have seen parties of we'll dressed Americans go into their stores. poke about among the goods, CT wan der into the clubroon, watch the games, handle the instruments of the orchestra, and ask all sorts of qUes- tions concerning them. The intruders were treated as welcome guests, their questions answered and tea, confec- tions and cigarettes offered them on departure. Fancy the reception which would be accorded to party of uni identified Chinese who attempted to take look through one of our own fashionable clubs! h the restaurants their conduct is the same. 1 imagine that if three or four Chinese were to take it into their heads to dine at one Of our uptown restaurants they would be subjected to many unpleasant re- marks, probably some insolence from the walters, and, if they should prove as awkward in handling the knife and fork as the average American is with the chopsticl1s, would cause consider able merriment among the other guests. But in Mott street the practice of good breeding is different. Time and again I have seen some good-natured Chinese let his own dinner grow cold, that he might show some clumsy American stranger who was struggling with the chopsticl1s how to use those elusive but useful implements. It is a very simple trick after it is learned, and one which I have often found useful at other places than at table in Chin csc restaurant. Once mastered, with a couple of pencils one can improvise a very serviceable pair of tongs to pick up bee or struggling worm, Q bit of hot metal or any such small object which one does not care to touch with ones fingers. The first stick should be held rigidly, about three inches from the lower end, between the ball of the second finger, the first joint of the thumb and the hand, just below the knuckle joint of the first finger, very much, in fact, as 6 clumsy schoolboy holds his pen. The second stick should be held almost exactly as a good pen man holds his pen, lightly, between the ball of the thumb and of the first finger, slightly resting along and steadied by that finger, to just between the second and lnucllc joints. Chinese meats are all served cut in small pieces, so as to be readily eaten with chopsticks, thus materially reducing the labor of dining.
