Land Of Strange Extremes, Nonsensiosl
Pride and Reckless Money Getting.
A well-known Swiss writer, who
visited the worlds fair and was then
forced to remain here for some time
on account OF illness. has joined the
long list OF foreigners for whom
"America" has been q favorite sub
ject for dissertation. In a recent
Issue of the Neuo Zuricher Zeitung,
one OF the most famous SWISS jour-
nails. under the heading: What is
Anferica2" he wrotei 'Amerlca is
land compared with which Europe is
only peninsula; the United States
forms country compared with which
the European Kingdoms are pygmies.
America is tho land of unmeasured
distances and dimensions the land
OF dollars and electricity; the
land where the prairies are
more extensive, the rivers mightier,
the waterfalls deeper. tho bridges
longer, the lightning expresses
faster, tho catastrophes more terrible
than in any other country in the
world. 1t is land where in single
railroad accident--and one occurs
every few days-more people lose
their lives than in Europe in

the houses are higher. the 'jall-

pastoral Europe. 1t Is the land
where the old men are younger
and the young men older, the negro
blacker and the whites more yellow,
than In any other place. 1t is the
land OF lmmeasurable natural wealth.
In short, it Is the land OF extraor-

OF nonsensioal pride, of reckless

To one who knows nothing of big
game, 1t is amazing to see how fast
moose can run. his stride being
much longer than that of a horse. <
light freight train was running on tho
Northern Pacific, In the upper part
OF Minnesota, when the engineer
saw big moose standing directly on
the track and as soon as the animal
saw the engine he took to his heels
down the track. There was per-
fectly straight run for four miles
and the engineer determined to test
the speed of the moose. OF which he
had frequently heard. At first tho
gait OF the moose was only a sort of
trot and even when tho engine
gained speed the animal did not
seem to exert itself. Faster and
iaster sped the engine, but stlll the
moose troited ahead, and all Tho
power OF steam could not prevail
over this monarch OF the forest. At
last after covering four miles and
turning u curve, they came upon A
gang OF section hands, and the vic
torlous moose leaped the track and
was lost to Wow in the forest

An old college chum OF mine re-
ceived a parrot as one Of his we'd
ding presents, and both he and Sis
wife arc greatly attached TO the
bird. He is in tho habit OF
getting out OF his cage and roaming
over the house at his own sweet
will. One day the cook caught
Polly in the act OF pulling some
picked onions from jar that stood
on the kitchen table; she was SO
angry that she threw dtppor OF
hot water she had in her hand at
him, some OF which landed on top
OF his head, and the result was that
a tuft OF feathers came of and he
was a baldheaded parrot forever
