SEVERE ON AMERICANS.

Sizes Up Some American Subjects.


Except Yorkshireman there is no
more self conscious person than your
nntraveled American. He knows every
thing. You can't take him in. He
comes from the biggest country in the
world. His smartness is prOvcrbial. He
does not continually exclaim- Il am a
Yankee, l am, - but he metaphorically
waves his flag in the face Of an effete
civilization and trails his egotism be-
fore the darned old country all the time,
you bet! And it is done surely and per-
sistently. Every whipper snapper of a
sneak thief has him. Notwithstanding
the staleness of the confidence trick in
his own country, he is a prey to the first
American sharper or the clumsiest imi-
tator of the Yankee methods whom he
meets in street or barrOOm. The papers
lately have contained several instances
of the successful practice of the conf
dence trick on Americans The wonder
is that any one can be feeced so GSsiIy.

purse to a total stranger and letting
him go out Of sight to test his faith i'll
the said stranger-''tO show his conf
dence' in a man he does not care but
ton about, and whose acquaintance he
has only just made. This happened the
other day in Holborn to an American
gentleman who parted with watch, ring
and notes to the value of nearly $500.
The story began by one of two conf
dence men spotting him for an Ameri-
can in Holborn and asking him, Say.

The two men were Americans; they

New Jersey. OF course they all adj
journed to the restaurant to have a

come into a large fortune and wanted
to give lot of it away, but not to Brit
ishers-oh, no-but to his own country

The Jersey gentleman was induced to
undertake the Office of my lord bounti

The Body of the Famous Desperate Had

The climate of Colorado is so exceed
ingly dry in the greater portion of the
state that ordinary objects, such as po-
tatoes, vegetables of various sorts and
even small animals, petrify when Gov
cred with sand. The body of Wild Bill,
the famous desperate, is today solid
stone He was buried in sandy coun
try near Telluride, and about four years
ago his friends decided to put up mon
ument to his memory. They went out
to his grave, which is in the open
prairie, and one of the party, an old
scout, was taken along to exactly locate
where he was buried The sand had
shifted and blown in great heaps, as it
does all through that country, and the
scout had good deal of difficulty in
absolutely locating the spot. Finally he
struck a mound that he said had Wild
Bill under it.
Owing to the uncertainty of the stu
alton and his hesitancy, the party de-
oided to dig down and see whether he
was right. Presently the spade ran into
a rock--a scarce thing in that country.
They shoveled all around it, and soon
revealed the petrifed image of Wild
Bill, as perfect as the day he died. with
not a trace of decomposition. Even the
clothes and shoes were turned to stone
Some of the parties wanted to take the
body up for the purposes of exhibition

MODERN DRAMATIC CHANGES.
Unfavorable Comparison of the Characters

The other night a man went to the

The suggestion of a reciprocity arrange
ment in respect to COAL permitting its I'M
taxed entry from countries which impose no
duty upon our coal, is a good one. The de-
velopment of freer trade and the approach
to free trade are NEST safely and wisely &C
com2lished by the business-like application
of the reciprocity principle. But reciprocity
has been so vigorously repudiated by the
legislative powers that be. bots through
verbal condemnation and destruction of the
reciprocity treaties, that it is hard to con-
ceive of the present Congress as enacting
the suggested reciprocity legislation. For
granting the free entry Of sugar to the
sugar producing countries we can and
should secure from them the free entry Of
certain Of our products. thus charging our
market for such products. For permitting
Canada to send free coal into the republic
We can and should secure as compensation
the privilege of sending free into Canada
coal or some other products in respect to
which the reciprocal arrangement is ad-
vantageous. Jug-ha ndied free trade is fool
ish, when reciprocal free trade can be OBJ
tanned. The dictates of ordinary business
common-sense would be to exact compensa-
ton in the shape of an enlarged foreign
market for our tariff concessions when such
2cmpen sation can be readily secured, even
though some of us may entertain the idea
That these concessions. even If unrecipro-
Gated, will ultimately benefit us as well as
the foreigners to whom they are granted.
