Thickness of the En- gLish.
From the Memphis Scimstar.

There is quite colony of Englishmen
in Memphis, especially during the cotton
season. and many a good joke is tod at
their expense. The Englshman's Cbtuse-
ness is universally known. but their diff
Guilty in learning the American slang
phrases is rather amusing. A well known
cotton buyer who was at the Peabody de
ternined to learn the catch phrases of the
Americans and always carried a small
notebook with him for the purpose of re-
cording them. He was standing at the
hotel counter speaking with the clerk, the
other morning. when up walked a drum
mer.
How you feeling, Bill?" said the clerk,
as he extended his hand.
oh I'm just out of sight" ceplied the
drummer.
After the commercial man had been as
signed his room the Englishman turned to
the clerk and inquired what he meant by
"out of sight" The clerk explained that
he meant he was feeling fine, and the
Englishtnnn recorded 1t in his little book.
The next morning when he came down to
breakfast the clerk, following his usual
custom. asked how he felt. The English
man thought II a good time to try some of
his newly-leGrned slang, and. with the ar
of one who has solved difficult problem,
replied:
"Oh YOU haunt see me at ALL"
He did not understand why the clerk
and bystanders snickered.

TWO THOUSAND MILES BY WAGON
A Family Trip That Cured Kansas
Man of Serious Lung Disease.

Man of Serious Lung Disease.
f. E. Farnsworth is living example of
what a man in the last stage of consump-
ton can do to save his own life, and at
the same time he is a walking advertise
ment of the beneficial effects of the rare
sir of the Western plateaus. He is now
in FL Paso with his family, after having
come 2ll4 miles across the country in
wagon. with his wife and his father he
is living for few days in the wagon they
have ritted up on Oregon street. just north
of the Southern Pacific track.
1--WE left Winfield, Kan.," said Mr.
Farnsworth. ION the 18th day of last
March. when I was so weak that l could
not throw the harness on the horses. We
came on to the West in our wagon, living
in it, sleeping in it at night and travelling
during the day. When we came TO an
agreeable place we would stop for a few
days, and then we would resume the jour
ney with the horses refreshed. Most of
the summer was spent in the mountains,
hunting and fishing, and from there we
went to Utah and came down through
Central New Mexico to Ell Paso. We have
the same horses with which we started.
and our wagon is in good shape. We have
had many experiences, but nothing has re-
suited seriously for us, and the net result
is that we are here in good shape, and
have practically regained my health"
The wagon in which the trip was made
is a marvel of ingenious arrangement. 1t
is the size of an ordinary farm wagon. The
front seat is arranged so that it can be
thrown back on hinges, disclosing we'll
arranged clothes chest. The remainder
of the wagon Jody is inclosed I'm a frame
about six feet high projecting over the
side and covered with painted canvas. BY
various ingenious arrangements the inte-
rior is so fitted up as to hold the beds for
the party, tables and chairs and a sheet
metal stove. The bed can be folded back
against the wali; the stove can hardly be
noticed because of the way it is fixed
in the side of the wagon, and the table,
when not in use, can be folded down along
the side. Lockers under and along the
side of the wagon provide places for stor-
Ing food, tools ropes and the like. The
| average time made on the trip has been
twenty-five miles day of travel.
From here the party will go up the
Tuarosa, and then across the Roswell in
the Pecos valley. returning TO their home
| in Kansas in April, after having consumed
about year on the trip.
The method is certainly a sensible and.
| as it has proved, an effective one for re-
| gaining health and Mr.. Farnsworth re-
| turns TO his home practically well, where
as there would probably be a lot of peo-
pie walking slowly behind him If he had
| remained in Kansas during the winter
The party have gathered numerous ore
! specimens and have sent many pounds
of them home. One tine specimen of cop
! per ore was found near Las Cruces, and
| this they stiI have with them. The total
cost of the trip so far for the three has
| been only about $1,000.
