The Ladies' Home Journal tells of a
concert on board OF al ocean steamship.
ut the close OF which the saloon passen-
GERS attempted to sing "My Country,
It's Of Thee" the national air OF Amer
ica, and "God Save the Queen" the
national air OF England. There were
two hundred and e1ghty-six American
passengers and twenty-four of English
birth. Out of the large number OF
Americans there were not enough IA
.niliar with our national air to sing the
words through the first stanza; but
when the English air was struck up
every single one of the twenty-four,
men and women, knew the words and
sang it through with delight. This is
rather a sad comment on our American
pride.

II was printed soon after the negro
Treasurer's election that "wEen he was

Temporarily fortunate as not to be depend
