The Americans are naturally the won

tiyes The entire nervous system of the
city is daily being shocked by the new
sights and the new events since Amer
lea took possession. The people here
are accustomed to a very formal way of
speech and action. They walk as II
every step were studied, and the more
enlightened talk with the utmost pre-
ciSeneSS. The free and easy going way
of the visitors is astounding to them
The American comes out with his
hearty laugh, not caring who is around,
and the dainty senorltas look at one an
other in wOnderment-
An American girl is the most interest
ing of all sights to them. They watch
her in silent amazement from the time
she appears in view until she has turn
ed the corner. They seem to think the
American woman the most wonderful
of all earthly objects. The Santiago
ladies, no matter how hot the day, al
ways dress in black when they appear
on the Plaza de Arma at Ga tarde' for
the usual evenings promenade. The
other evening American girl was
there in a blood-red costume, made of

under usual conditions.

ONE HOUSE OF WORSHIP.
The Little Town of Paradise Has
Solved the Church Problem.

Paradise, Feb. 1s.-Paradise is a small
town on the Salina & Colby branch of
the Union Pacific. Its people have
solved the church problem in small
communities. It has people of a dozen
denominations, but not enough of any
one to maintain a good church. But
the Christians united and jointly built
a Union church which by the terms of
the written agreement into which all
entered is to be used by all denomina-
ton. The plan works splendidly. All
arrangements for preaching are made
and scheduled many months in ad-
vance. One Sunday the Methodists have
services, another is under Presbyter-
ians, perhaps next is the Disciples, or
the Roman Catholics. Instead of hav-
ing two or three or more little dingy
tumbledown churches with three or
more starving ministers in town, all
preaching at the same time, and then
all pulpits vacant for a week or two or
three, Paradise has regular, orderly
meetings each Sunday, with a large at
tendance. The people are considering
plans to insure good services each week
by having about so different ministers
each present his very best discourse on
a different Sunday, thus making up the
year. Under the church is a basement
which on all other evenings is open to
all as reading room, and public Ii
brary
