Except Yorkshircman there is no

untraveled American. no knows every

comes from the biggest country in the
world. His smartness is prOverbial. He
does net continually cxclaim, II am o

waves his flag in the face Of an effete
civilization and trails his egotism be-
fore tho darncd old country all the time,
you bet! AnS it is done surely and per-
sistently. Ne,y whipper snapper Of

the staleness OF the confidence trick in
his own countr-, he is prey to the first
American sharper or the clumsiest i1ni-
yator OF tie 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 fleeced so easily.
Imagine any sane person being in

The t..c m,n were Americans; they
came from Virginia; the dupe was from
New jersey. OF course they all ad-
iourned to the restaurant to have a
drink. The first Virginia gentlemen had
come into large fortune and wanted
to give = lot of j: away, but not to Brit

MODERN DRAMATIC CHANGES.


UalAvs<abls Csmrarisoa d the Chaaa1ssss
Of tho Stage.
Tho other night . man went to the
theatet who had not been there for years,
and he couldn't make it ont First of
oil he missed the simple village youth,
the virtuous hero who was won't to take
the first prize at the Horticultural So
ciety. or else win the guerdon at quoits.
or something or other in the rustic revela
But worst of all he missed the dear old
fashioned villain, and although this
play had tremendous villain in it our
friend was not impressed with him q
bit. He signs thus:
II came away again, sadly disap.
pointed. The play was not what ex-
pected. I shall go 70 more to the play
house The palmy days of the drama
are over. The theater has fallen into
the sere and yellow fifth act. and there
IL no health in it.
THE theater has followed the path Of
literature. and the good old things are
changed 5eheld lot of swell people
In evening dress or the stage. They
spoke quietly to one another. very much
as people do off the stage and in very
much the same sort of language
This is not what want when &c
TO the theater.
What is the theatrical villain Of to
day: Is he a real. good old fashioned
rufiians Does he ever drag helpless
maiden from the domiciliary roof Of hel
ancestors by the hair? No, siri
Does he ever say to the hero, Say
one word, and thou art food for the
wolves:' Does he ever grab the heroine
by the wrist. drag her down the stag,
in three long strides. slam her down II
q big chair. bend over her and whisper
fiendishly: Sheath, maiden; but. b,
my soul, love thee! Thou shalt b
mine! Yield. or by heaven'-
That's ali / know Of that speech
because by heaven, I'll' is the cue TO
the maiden to spring rp. and. throwing
the IL stone villain half way acros
the stage, to say: finland me, rufiian
And know that rather than mate will
such as thou I'd cast myself from yon
der battlement into the foaming fioot
beneath!'
And does the villain then say: Now
by heaven, like thy spirit! / love the
all the more for it'
And docs the maiden say. 'Mcrcifu
powers. Protect mel
And does the door open and the her
rush in armed with a good blunt broad
| sword?
And then do he and the villain fenc
up and down the stage skies. Fights
shoulder blows. cut and thrust!
ooh, no!
These things have given way {
swallowtailed coats and high collars
and the vikain is now as big . swell a
any fellow in the show
''Oh, for the coed old palmy days G
the drama when the broadsword rule
and there was gore!

~ with the Rine.
''The cowboys Of New Mexico, Texas
and Arizona are all skilled in the art Of
using the lasso," said Louis Edwards 81
Santa Fe. II used to be in the ranch
ing line myself and once thought l
could throw rope as straight as any
man living. But that was before ] had
mixed to any extent with the Mcxicans.
As good rs the American cowboys are.
they can't hold q candle to q greaser
when it comes to the roping business.
They can do things with hemp that no
other mortals can ever hope to accom-
plish. As the Australian stands out pre-
eminently in throwing the boomerang.
30 does the ignorant son Of the land of
God and liberty exceed all other men
in this one accomplishment.
"A Mexican will chase q steer at full
speed, aud while he guides his broncho
with one hand whirl his rope with I'M.
erring aim with tho other, and it isn't
once in thousand times that the moose
will fail to catch just where the rider
meant. A favorite trick with them il
to stick lot of long handled knives in
the ground close together within the
limits of narrow circle and bet with
outsiders that they can ride past at race
horse speed and pick up any one OF the
knives designated with q rope. They
are good marksmen with the rife, too,
bat in this regard the cowboys are fully
their peers. "-Washington Post.
