made me think was dining at private
gentleman's and not in public house.
During the evening there arrived q jolly
commercial traveller from Brummagen,
(Birm Dgham) and soon he and the landlord
were deep In argument respecting the germs
of typhoid fever as found In drinking water
of some places. The language USED was
well chOsen and both were gentemanly,
though earnest In their remarks. An
Englishman would not DO an Englishman II
he could not fight with somebody, In words
II not in actions. From gern $ the conversa-
ton drifted to cathedrals and churches and
e>ting conversation and must confess It
seemed very unlike what l have been ac-
custOmed to hear from commercial travellers
in the United States. They seemed to be
have cast all thoughts OF business to one

grand old man. During the evening ac-
cldently learned that the man whom l sup
posed TO be twenty years OF age was really
thirty-two, White his companion was over
fifty and the grandfather of four fine chill
dren. So you see appearances are deceitful
even in England
Before retiring took another walk
