Mail ROx Honesty

'That naive trust in human honesty
that one sees here is distinctly Ameri-
can" said an Englishman, pointing to
a letter box. II would like to see a
continental business man lay packages
and large envelopes on the top of the
post boxes. They would be taken be-
fore the glue of the stamps was dry.
There is another reason why we can't
do that at home. Our dear old London
fogs would wipe out the address in
short order. and unless the collections
were frequent the paper would be re-
duced to a pulp. A dry climate makes
you Americans talk with a dreadful
nasal accent, but it shows up your
honesty."-New York Tribune.

A man who is back from a visit to

which ought to make the great Ameri-

happened at a little railway station
in Germany. Grunenwald by name,
while the man who tells about it was
waiting for a train on a branch line
which connects with the main line at
that place. Besides himself there were
at the station a party of American
tourists of the kind you read about in
English books and an English family
of the kind you read about in Ameri-
can books. The Americans were loud
voiced and ungrammatical. They laugh
ed a great deal and they ate peaches,
the stones of which they threw at a
post to test their craftsmanship. They
were persons for whom Uncle Sam
himself would have felt apologize,
and they displeased the naughty Brit
ish materfamilias greatly. To the
younger members of her family, a
gawky boy and a lanky and ''leggy'
girl of the typical elongated English
variety-they were objects of great in
terest, however. and the girl in particu-
lar edged nearer and nearer, to her
mothers great disgust. At last she
was SO near that mamma could en-
dure it no longer.
"Clarar' she called in her loudest
voice, 'cOme away at once. You might
be mistaken for one of those disgust
ing Americans"
A pretty young American looked VI
and swept Clara from head to foot
with a calm glance. Then she went
on eating peaches.
Don't worry, madam" she called
out cheerily. There's no danger Of
that-with them feetw w-Washlngtor

"As we grow older" remarked the
man who was doing that at the rate of

ther away than usual, but we are very
slow indeed to observe that the real
cause of it is that we are growing old,
and we rather resent the suggestion Of
some kindly friend that we need
glasses.
"We resent glasses especially be-
cause they are the visible sign of our
weakness, and all the world may know

AFAMOUS BEAUTY'S RESCUE
Emily MnrshalIs Walk over a HUI
man Bridge Mt Niagara.

Writing of "The Loveliest Woman In
All America" William Perrine, in The
Ladies' Home Journal, recalls the
thrilling adventure of Emily Marshall,
the famous Boston beauty, at Niagara
Falls. She. with Nathaniel z. Willis
and young. ungainly college student,
Job Smith, attempted to go under the
falls, in those days perilOus undertake
ing. After they had proceeded a short
distance under the sheet of water there
was rumbling noise and cOmmotiOn,
and a part of the ledge which formed
the path disappeared. cutting Miss
Marshall off from her companions by
an abyss six feet " width and leaving
her but a small stone in the swirling
torrents to stand upon.
"In the commOtiOn Job had been for
gotten, but instantly ray of hope shot
into Willis heart when he saw his rug
ged features. his sandy hair plastered
over his forehead. his scanty dress
clinging to his form like a skin and his
hand trembling on the poets shoulder
as he stPadied his steps. Without say
ing what he intended to do he crept
down carefully to the edge of the foam
ing abyss till he stood up to his knees
in the breaking bubbles. 1t seemed i'm
possible that he could reach the lovely
creature or that she could jump for
ward safely from the slippery rock in
to his arms.
"Willis covered his eyes in fear and
wonder. The next moment when he
| opened them there lay at his feet the
quivering and exhausted girl. Job was
nearly seven feet high. He had flung
himself over the gulf. caught the rock
with his fingers and with certain death
if he missed his hold. Miss Marshall
had quickly walked over his body in its
bridgelike posture. At this moment the
guide returned with rope, fastened it
around one of Jobs feet and dragged
him back through the whirlpool. When
he recovered from his immersion, he
fell on his knees in a prayer of thanks
to God, in which the poet and the beau
ty devoutly Joined him."

Appropriate Shades.

A party of Americans were sitting
on the upper deck OF Rhine river boat
enjoying the charming scenery. One
was reading aloud from guidebook
about the various castles as they came
into view. Just as the boat was pass
ing one of the finest old buildings a
woman in the party exclaimed to her
companions: "Why, that old castle is
inhabited. See, there are blinds at the
windows"
"No," said a man standing by her
side; 'those are the shades of their an
eestors."
