"Well kinder slow Pa says

"It's a co. said Bud, and so

'Now Bud, this fellow is Ola

By this time they had driven
into the yard and Hank left Ola
and Bud to themselves.
"Vall tank it be better you 60

Bud took the team and started
off. When he had tied the horses
and gave them some hay he came
out Of the barn to look for a pail,
when he heard Ola yell.
"Ha! dare, come har, ben

Paris, June There are in all about
10000 Americans who rent or own hand
some homes in Paris. They live in New
Paris up around the Champs Elysees
chiefly, and as near the Arc de Triomphe
as they can, and though the English,
Russian and even the German colony is
larger, the American residents have ex-
erted a more tangible influence on Paris
than all the other foreigners put togeth-
er. This is chiefly because this handful
of expatrated colonists are women, rich,
clever daughters of Columbia, who. with
the characteristic independence of their
Western blood, refuse to yield to abe old
law, which says, when you are in Rome,
you must do as the Romans do. They

French family could only be gathered to-

man has picked them up in a few years,
and one Of her salons taught the native
duchesses that they still had some lessons

in a lovely tone of green, and aside from
the gilded cane furniture, upholstered in
loose green brocade cushions, every bit

the mantle shelf window sill, on the floor,
tables and numerous brackets stand pots
of exquisite red, white, pink, cream and
even black roses. Every plant has Its
healthy roots deep in the rich moscow

care of the Duchess. Just so soon as
every plants blossoming time draws to
a close il is carried away by the florist
in charge, and a new bloomer put in its
place. At times and even in abe wintry
months this salon contains as many as
thirty pots of lovely rose trees some of
them standing five to six and a half feet
in hight and some showering their deli
cate flowers upon an invisible green wire
trellis. These the mistress Of the house

1t is worth while for an American who
wishes to see what impression her coun-
try women have made on Paris to walk
up the Avenue de rAlma, where the mod

very worthy neishbor in beauty of arch

cans resident on this street, and
further along in the square nam

stands a charming cream stone
house that belongs to Madam Emma
Eames Story. One of the first French
architects designed il for her, wreathing
in little musical instruments with the
fanciful carving over doorways and win
dows. Inside, however, the mistress de-
manded that every Arrangement should
be made for the introduction of all scien-

who set about to revolutionize the domes-

not long ago, and who loved TO tell the
story of the excitement created bv her
path room. At really great expense she
had charming American bath room with
hot and cold water, outside plumbing and
a stationary washstand built next her own
suite OF apartments in her roomy house.
She even had to import expert workmen
from New York, and all the materials ex

To-day it is easy enough to have water

you like, and all the business of setting
them in place will be done by French
plumbers, but they make whacking
