The American is Vulgar.
He Has the Traits OF a Courtly Gentleman
but is too Sell. .Asser.ive.

ave must all agree that the Amer
ican has beyond other men an innate
respect tor women and for helpless
things" writes San American Mother"
in the November LadieS Home ./onr-
RaL ale has usually, too, wide
acquaintance with the world which
hinders HIM from intolerance and
vanity. He also has tact too fine
to blurt out unpleasant facts to his
companions, as does the Englshman,
who, quite unprovoked, hurls disa-
greeable truths at you with ferocity
and gusto that is indecent. A week
with your dearest English friends is
enough to make you in love with ly-
ing. The dearer you are to them
the more likely are they to talk inces-
sanity of the mole on your nose, or
your vulgar kinsfolk. The American
has vivacity almost French: he
gives himself easily to the occasion :
he is ready to weep and laugh with
you, and is sincerely interested in
your new bicycle or baby. At the
same time he has something of the
phlegm of the Aslatic, and seldom
trets or grumbes. He shifts the odors
OF foul drains, quaffs typhoid germs
in his water, sits in overheated steam
cars and stands in overcrowded street
cars year after year with imperturba-
BILE good humor.
"Why, with all these qualities why
is he not more agreeable fellow
Why, with all the traits that go to
make up a courtly gentleman-why is
he vulgar? Simply because he is not
certain of his own position. He as
serts himself every moment lest you
may mistake him for an inferior. This
uneasy sef.assertion is the explanation
of all our bad manners. I'm as good
as you = is the secret thought with
which too many of us meet every fell
low-creature.'

Throat Gut to Remove False Teeth

A difficult surgical operation which
has attracted considerabl attention
among the attending physicians of the
Brunswick hospital, New York, was
performed upon Mrs. Kate Hoffman,
who, while at breakfast, broke the
dental plate in the upper part of her
mouth rnd swallowed large piece of
the plate with her food. 1t caused
no trouble, but later her throat swelled
and breathing became difficult. The
operation known as asophagotomy
was performed. An incision was
made in the left side of the throat.
1t was an exceedingly delicate oper-
alton, for the deviation of a hair
breadth meant the severing of the
carotid artery and jugular. The OBJ
structon was removed, the orihce
was treated antlseptically, then the
neck was lncased in plaster of paris.
The plaster will remain in place for
ten days. 1t was said at the hospital
that Mrs. Hoffman was doing excel
lently.

Look Out For Bad S5 Bills.

Officials at the Sub Treasury at
Philadelphia have sent out public
warning against a spurious S. bill
which has appeared in circulation, and
from the fact that two OF them have
been turned in at the Sub-Treasury
within a week it is feared that there
are many in use. BY an expert pen
manship on ST. note, the figure 81"
and woid some have been raised to
IS" and "hve," and the note would
pass muster with any not accustomed
to examining paper money with care.
The picture and portrait, however are
not changed, and the letter "s' is not
added to the word "dollar," making
the spurious note bear the ungram-
matical legend 'Sive-dolar."

The Machine Roth violates md is-
nores the Constitution.

"Any amendment or amendments to
this constitution may be proposed In
the senate or house of representatives,
and, II the same shall be agreed to by
majority of the members elected to
each house, such proposed amendment
or amendments shall be entered on
their journals with the yeas and nays
taken thereon, and the secretary OF the
commonwealth shall cause the same
to be published three months before
the next general election in at least
two newspapers in every county.
Sec. of Article XVIII of the consti-
tuition OF Pennsylvania"
In conformity with this provision of
our constitution, in 1899, in the last
legislature. an amendment to the con-
stitution was proposed, the object of
the amendment being to prevent the
repetition of well known election
frauds, by providing for personal regis
| traton.
1t was decided step for good hon
| est, clean government, and in justice
! to the members of the last legislature
! it must be said that even Quay was inn
| potent in this matter Even he could
not cause its defeat, and the amend
ment was carried by both houses.
Quay, however. had another card up
his sleeve-the knave-who represents
the Quay machine in the governors
chair and although Governor Stone
had absolutely no prerogatives I'm the
| premises than any other qualified cleo
tor in the state yet without power Of
law, he took upon himself the respon-
sibility of vetoing the amendment.
This aroused the friends of good gov
ernment throughout the state, and the
matter was promptly taken into court,
where the question was ably argued,
and the Quay machine was informed by
the court that the constitution must
he obeyed, and that Governor Stone
had nothing to do with the matter.
Even then the Quay machine did not
give up the struggle to prevent the
enactment of the amendment. In their
efforts to prevent any legislation which
would inure to a fair vote and an hon
est count they stopped at nothing. One
other OF their creatures the secretary
of the commonwealth, is instructed, by
the article quoted above. to cause the
same to be advertised. The Quay ma
chine seized upon the alleged omission
of the Legislature to provide funds
with which to pay for the advertising
, of the amendment, and the obedient
secretary of the commonwealth re-
fused to take any official action in the
matter. We thus have the delightful
scene of one Quayite arrogatingto to him
self too much power and another Quay
!, ite refusing to use the power confer.
, red upon him by the constitution.
AS soon as Secretary Griest made
known his decision refusing to adver-
tise the amendment, the friends ol
an honest administration of the laws
and of true Interpretation of the con.
) stitution, came to its rescue, and the
matter was again taken into court, and
! once more the Quay machine was beat
en-, and as result, notwithstanding
r the Vaccinations Of the Quay machine
, the voters of this state will have an op
portunity of voting for or against the
amendment on the 9Th of November.

The Presidents Work is Never Done.
M Has No Time TO Call His Own, aud Must
Literally Live In His Office.

"a separate Office building for the
President has been much talked of
and even seriously discussed" writes
Col. Theodore A. Bingham, u. S A.,
in presenting Mrs. Harrlson's plans
for enlarging the White House, in the
November LaaieS' Homes Journal.
oBut when the routine daily lie of
the President is considered it will be
found to be more convenient for him,
and more conducive to the transaction
Of public business, to add to the pres.
ent White House rather than 20 build
at distance from it. The President
can have no set hours for his work,
and necessarily does much of the
routine at odd moments. There are
also times when he works early and
late, and while he may not always
need to be at his desk he requires
his tools; papers, records, clerks,
messengers, etc, always within close
call. no matter what the weather. A
President cannot close his desk at a
fixed hour and go away TO a separate
home until Office hours next day
There are many matters brought tc
his attention at all hours of the day
after office hours as well as during
them, some of which must be settlec
at once, and he may need to refer tc
office records or to use a clerk. As a
matter of fact, a President does very
little OF his routine Office work, such
as signing papers, debating, etc, dur
Ing Office hours, for his time is ther
taken up for the most part in seeing
people, ard it can never be otherwise
in our country. This is a very prac
teal argument against having hi'
house and Office separated"
