and fireness. Mr..
Bliss gave ear to the proxy lamentations
Of the interpreter. The boss Indian of the
crew was of uniquely unwholesome appear
ance. He stood nearest the Secretary. The
opportunity was splendid for contrasting
two diametrically opposite types of the
American: the one ruddy, groomed, at
ease, master of his environment, the other
ty-copper-colored, distinctly ungroomed.
sullenly ner, ous a slave to tradition The
aboriginal Americans were welcomed in
their coming and sped in their parting by
the modern American, who for twenty
minutes withstood the steady stare of
dozen pairs of sulky sloe eyes with the
same degree Of complaisance he would
have exhibited in receiving the board of
directors in his New York banking house.
Departing, the boss Indian held up his
right hand horizontally on an exact level
with Mr.. Bliss stature.
Heap little high" he grunted himself
towering a head above the Secretary. Then
the Indian placed both of his open hands
at a distance of about half a foot from the
sides of his head:
But hi yu skookum heap big herew he
finished, pointing to his head. The Secre-
tary of the Interior positively blushed at
the barbarian'S compliment.
The Indians instructive discernment of
MIR. Bliss mental stature was sufficiently
surprising, whereas if the Kickapoo had
known enough of the details of the exter-
ior makeup of the elderly white American
man to have told the Secretary that ne
was the best groomed paleface he had ever
laid eyes on, there would have been moth
it.g surprising in a mere statement of
probably unquestionable fact. The multi
tCdinouS European who. after two weeks
tour of the United States, writes of the
'mercurial. madly rushing, impetuous, per-
petually struggling American man who
aces not know what seif-care means, and
who is ready for the grave he has dug for
hlmsef by the time he Is forty years of
age, probably never happened upon an
American Of the Cornelius n. Bliss type

surveyed citizen ,verging upon sixty-five
years of age, whose step is as springy as
that of a boy of forty. and remarked.
Here. at any rate, is one American man
who has known how to take care of him
self"
Yet the type Of man to which the new
Secretary of the Interior belongs is not by
any means limited one. Hundreds even
thousands. of New York men of precisely
the same general exterior characteristics
may be seen on any week day morning IN
the neighborhood of 10 o'clock riding down
town on the elevated trains. each of them
with his eyes glued to the financial col
umns of his morning newspaper. These

learance is beWilderingly correct, belong to

"A. long and bitter experience in apart
ments forces me to observe" said Mr.. Werk
enday, shiverng as he hoped on the oil
clotn of the bathroom with his bare feet,
that the architects who plan the Or
binary flat of commerce do not bathe.
i dun't judge this from their appearance,
because they are a particularly cleln and
nice Let of men. But 1 cannot believe
that anyone with the least respect for
the Importance of the bathroom could treat
It with such architectural stepfatherliness.
ut always is showed away Ia a dark
corner, as far from the bedrooms and as
near the parlor or dining-room as possible.
1t always is dark and ventilated by an
airshaft up which there blows perpetuaIly
a dismal draft that has something on its
mind and groans about it all the time.
II ought TO have something on its mind,
for ii is a sure killer. Then, of course,
the bathroom, being the only place la the
house where one takes off all his clothes
aud gets wet all over, is the place
which most frequently has no heating ap-
pliances.

know whether they think that man en-
joys taxing his bath in sections or whether
they act on the theory that he ought to

II asked AN architect once why he did
it. Well said he, we hardly ever do diff
