increase OF ut least 70 per cent in the
amount Of mail now transported over

AMERICANS ABROAD.
A Farmer from Kansas Who Was Emil
grating to SYria.
.ntte1. in New York Times

Marseilles Letter in New York Times.
The American have to present to you,
these people. He went into the American
consulate here few days ago and asked
for passport His name, he said, Was
Riders, and he looked like a farmer in poor
circumstances. He was accompanied by
two grown sons one of whom had long
fair. hair falling over his shoulders, which
made him look precisely like the familiar
picture of the Savior.
i've got my family here" he said; these
here boys, an the old woman, an three
youngsters. We have to change steamers
here for Syria, an they tell me they can't
take me on the other steamer without q
passport. So ] want one"
He was told that 1t would take about
three days TO get passport from the en-
bassy in Paris.
IF you don't mind" said the consul,
after the blanks had been prepared. Il
should like to ask you what in the world
you are taking your family to Syria for.
never heard of an American family emigrat-
well I'll tell YOU" said Mr.. Riders
You see, We've been a-farmln out in Kan
sas for eight or ten years. In the last three
years we amt had drop of rain in our
parts, and we got down jest about to bottom
level. 1t was move or starve for us, and we
made up our minds to move. Wed read
COZ sid able about Syria, and we thought
we'd go an chance it spell out there
Syria" the consul exclaimed; why it
never rains in Syria. Do you know anybody
Mary soul said Mr. Riders: but
we're putty likely folks 10 git acquainted.
An we're goin TO chance it, anyway
on the third day after the application
was made Mr.. Riders and his boys turned
up again.
DO you think there's any chance of that
passport getting here by o'clock this
afternoon" he asked.
Il am afraid not" the consul answered:
'the Paris mail does not arrive till after g."
'Oh, well. all right said the Kansas
Syrian, quite cheerfully. IN tell you why
l asked. You see, we've got our deck pas
sages paid to Latakia all right an got SIS
left l thought If we could sail on to-day S
steamer maybe we could afford TO buy
blanket or two to keep us warm like on the
vyage. But if We've got to wait here for
the next ship We couldn't hardly afford it.
Jest wanted to inquire
What said the consul. DO you mean
to say you are taking your family to Syria
on capital of SIS? And you're going to
farming there? Here, take back your
money for the passport; and put this in
your pocket Come and see me on the way
back If you're hungry"
Mr.. Riders did not get away that after
noon, but he sailed in the next ship; and
the consul and / have sent a request to the
consulate at Jerusalem for any obtainsnle
