Who owns America?

Who owns American
This question is asked by a correspon-
dent who insists that because the British
are making a rush TO invest money In
Australia which he alleges they have drawn
from this country in interest and divi-
dends, and that they bleed Uncle Sam OF
his gold with which TO pay interest, Is
evidence who owns America.
America is all right, my corresponding
friend.
Ii has no fear OF being owned by any
one. IL any one, no matter OF what ma
tionality wishes to invest in this country
in anything all they have to do is to name
il and the chance will be given TO make
the deal.
Our English cousins will not be re-
stricted to breweries, either. There are
railroad securities floating about and
there are many other things which VIII
prove profitable TO invest in.
A glass OF cold water.
What is more delectable than glass OF
pure sparkling water when you are
thirsty? Is there anything to be COM
pared to 1t? For twenty-seven years
personally sampled al stated periods when
thing from beer to Burgundy and from
seltzer to champagne, and though the de-
sire for something exhilarating was
temporarily satisfied nothing ever exceiled
nor can there be anything to excel
glass of cold water.
Boarded for % years.
1 met a man the other day who had
lived in boarding houses for quarter OF
century.
Gee! Think of the pounded steaks and
shrivelled liver cooked to brown that
have been set before him And then the
different kinds OF biscuits, to say nothing
OF the cake e,sponge, pound, raisin and dry.
In all those number OF years think OF the
persons who have sat opposite him that
he has been obliged to say "good morn
ing" too.
How many times has he asked to have
the butter passed when it was really strong
enough to walk?
Never mind.
Today that same man is contented. He
has been for some time a regular boarder
at Captain Ray Aliens well known hotel,
"The Allen" on Greene street. He can
find no fault for the price is moderate and
the table the best. i have had consider
able experience myself and can vouch for
the superiority, the cleanliness and the
service obtainable at "The Allen" which
is filled to overfiowing by a number of
delighted guests.
Mr.. O'Neil is man, well-known to
many people. lie is established in the
merchant tailoring business at 450 West
minister street. He has annexed to his
well stocked store large, new, we'll
lighted and perfectly ventilated work
room. Leave your measure. You will
receive a satisfactory fit as Mr.. O'Neil
employs experts both in the cutting and
manufacturing departments,
i read something in THE NEWS last
evening about the efficacy of cold baths.
Take one every morning and see il you
don't feel better all day for doing SO.
Nothing like them.
Charlie German, the lawyer, was one OF
the gentlemen who was among the num-
ber OF interested listeners to the brisk
talking of Auctioneer Captain Draper
who is conducting the sale OF Oriental
rugs now going on at 10 and 112 West
minister street. The importer, we'll
known Armenian named 3. Il. Donchian
OF Hartford, Conn.,, was present. Mr..
German bid s35 for rug which was worth
twice as much. Somebody bid $3.50 and
il was sold for n figure round about $40.
noticed, however, that the lawyer at la st
got a pair of beauties at price which
suited him, and | heard him wisely re-
mark, "I wouldn't have anything but rugs
in my house."
The sale yesterday was very salts factory,
many wealthy and well-known people
taking advantage of the opportunity thus
offered. Extraordinary values may be OBJ
tanned. The rugs are catalogued and
numbered as IL they were rare paintings,
and the unique and original designs make
them particularly attractive.
"He pressed my hand"
Thus murmured Edith Kenilworth, as
she sank into large, upholstered chair
which had been bought on the install
ment plan, aud commenced to take off
her gloves. Now and then her limpid,
languishing eyes would stray toward the
mirror and disclose a beauteous reflection,
for Edith was beautiful, IL she was in
hard luck as far as money was concerned.
She smiled as she thought how msdly in
love with her Reginald LeClair had con-
fessed in that simple pressure of
the hand. As she smiled she
disclosed pair of teeth a princess mig ht
envy. To be sure there was here and there
piece of gold which disclosed the handi-
work OF a skilled dentist whose name
might be w. II. Tillinghast and whose
place OF business might be 300 Westmin-
ster street. Edith continued to sigh and
smile by turns. Conscious of the affec-
tiopate regard OF Reginald, she seemed to
care for nothing else.
Speaking about teeth, what should a
person eat who hasn't any teeth or any
money TO get any3 Easy. Bananas and
mush, custard pie and boneless fish.
Dental work of all kinds, including that
which requires the utmost skill, is obtain
