In Texas they have sentenced to q
five years imprisonment an express
agent who stole $4,000. He resoluteIy
refuses to disclose the hiding place of
the money, thereby proving that he has
$4,000 year driving an express wagon
but he can receive that sum by keep
ing quietly in doors for a few years
No doubt he figures that having paid
the penalty for stealing it, the money
will be rightfully his when his sentence
expires. But some people will remark
that there is something wrong with
the system of justice which allows a
man $4,000 for five years in prison.

Good Natured Americans.

Are Americans too good natured
A New York judge declared in the al
firmative in open court, the other day.
He said we are too good natured ana
easy-going as a race and not quick
enough to resent the abuse of being
imposed upon. He had before him
case in which a passenger had been ar
rested for too vigorously Directing to
a railway conductor against certain
unnecessary discomforts of travelling.
The judge upheld the prisoner for his
course. and expressed the wish that
more passengers would make similar
protests when they thought the occa-
sion demanded it.
But are Americans too good natured?
OF course, such a thing is possible as
being too good natured, but it is far
better to err in this direction than in
the other extreme. But we think the
New York Judge was wrong. Taking
the American people all in all, they
are not too good natured, but are just
good natured enough. OF course. the
chronic kicker is always to be found,
and he is an unmitigated curse to So
ciety. Then there is the man who
conscientiously attempts TO right a
wrong and protests at the right time
and in the right manner. He is a val
liable member of society and an impor-
tant contributor to the public good.
But it cannot be disputed that as a
rule the American people are extreme
ly good natured. Foreigners have no
ticed it and commented upon it. They
cheerfully and willingly put up with
many discomforts and Inconvenience
in travelling and in public places rather
than make a fuss. We see this char
acteristic good nature everywhere. in
the cars, on the street, at the theatre,
in the hotel dining room. in the school
room the workshop and the office. 1t
tends to happiness and longer life
than would be otherwise possible. 1t
is the safety valve that is fixed to the
busy engines of our business life, our
social life, and our political life.
Not only at home but in their travels
abroad Americans have many petty
annoyances to bcar-run the gauntlet
of eXOrbitant charges and even open
swindling, but, as a rule. they behave,
even under those trying circumstances,
in such way as to command the re-
spect of other peoples. Good nature is
beyond doubt characteristic of the
American people which, let us hope,
they will never lose.

Some girls marry because they want

A case is now being tried in the Ger
est to Americans, especially to Ameri-
can heiresses whose heads are in dam
ger of being turned by glamour of L
foreign title. The case throws some
light on the methods employed in cap
turing our American girls whose
money alone is what is really wanted
plaintiffs in this case are three German
banks and the defendant is Prince
Leopold of Isenberg Birstein. The
case is of peculiar interest in that it
brings forth for the first time the rule
of the heiress- hunting game as under
stood in Europe The story, as told by
plains that these German banks ac-
tually loaned this young German
prince 100000 marks upon condition
that he proceed to America at once
and marry an heiress, but they went
still further and even stipulated that a
marriage with Miss Anna Gould-now
Countess CaStellane-or Miss Florence
Pullman would be the best fish to
catch in the net. Leopold's father
Prince Carl, took a deep interest in the
matrimonial expedition to America
and. in fact the whole affair was al
idea of his own. He had borrowed
over a million dollars in 1887 at the
Frankfort Bourse in order to keep the
family and its estate afloat. and it was
his ambition that this burden be taker
up by some American heiress. So the
prince secured his money and started
out to catch a wife, just as he would
start to Africa in search Of an ele.
plant. but he soon found that the
American heiress does not grow on the
trees. Then he returned home and
giving up his interests in the family
estates. he entered the German army
Inc failure of the prince to secure ar
American heiress broke the father,
heart and he died soon after. And
now the German banks want thei,
money. They really do not deserve it
