Baron RothchIld's Reply.

New York Times: Some years ago
While Baron Rothschild and a noble
man friend were taking a pleasure trip
along the Rhine. a young man on the
BOAT noticed the end of a silk hand
kerchief sticking out of a corne Of
R~othschild's pocket. Turning to his
chum he said:
IF l could only get hat handker-
chief. Think how much it would be
WORTH
TRY to get it then said his chum
wit visions of the fabulous value OF a
Rothschild handkerchief.
SO the lad took the end Of the hand
kerchif between his fingers and gently
tugged at it. At his point the noble
man turned to his baron and whis-
pered:
Baron, that boy beside you is TAX
ing your handkerchief"

And SO the English are interesting
themselves in things American. 1t is a
naive and, on the whole, a pleasant spec
tacle. They are picking up Information
-and INSTRUMENTATION their kins-
man and the land he inhabits beyond the
sea. They are tracing his psychological
peculiarities back to the parent stock, and
graphing industriously with trans-At-
lantic phenomena of temperament which
they are conscious could not have come
from them.
There is, for instance, the alleged Amer
lean habit of Boosting. The Americans.
they say, indulgently. are the only brave
people who vaunt themselves. Britons,
on the other hand, never boast-they. ad-
NIT it themselves. They have discovered
that their kinsmen acquired the habit
from the untutored redskln. Like the lat
ter, the American resorts to big talk, not
because he is really vain, but because he
wants to strike terror into his enemies;
1t Is a part of the strategy of war.
More than all else the American energy
impresses the Englishman. He follows
the march of democratic enterprise around
the world as one would follow the move
mebt Of some elementary force in nature.
Nothing, he concludes, is impossible TO
that restless, resistless people. Down in
his heart he may feel that they have hit
up 4 pace that is too fast to maintain;
tina the nation will burn itself out in the
combustion of it's own fiamelike progress,
and the world dominance of its sons be
as fleeing as the empires of the Tartars.
But while it lasts, it is a rare spectacle
to him, and In the matter of business ne
is aver disposed to admit that it is an
instructive spectacle; that he can learn
something from Jonathan. The young
man has savoir-faire, If nothing else.
Superior English Airs.
But if you would learn savoir-vivse you
! must come to the old stand, says John.
He is Convinced that he has mastered the
art Of living, and that the boy has not.
He reserves the right to criticise the man
ners, dress and dialect Of the American
as he commonly characterizes the lat
ter's English undcfled. Although the
breezy democracy of Jonathan seems to be
IL high favor in English drawing rooms,
he feels somehow shat he is regarded as a
study-an exhibit Of a pleasant but Curl
Gus sort, something between a rich coun-
try uncle and q tanned Hooligan. 1t daWns
UPON him thai he should nave brought his
lariat with him; when in Rome, says
George AIDE, do as the Romans expect you
to do.
The English think they have plotted al.
of ~Jonathan's curves, but it may BE dark
~ here that they have not.
The are as far from compromising al
of them as they are from mastering the
subtleties of negro dialect. Thus, when
ever the society papers quote an Ameri-
can girl she is represented as saying,
'tWaal." Now, no American girls DO that,
aud mighty few American men. They
still talk over here about her nasal ac-
cent. Outside of New England the nasal
accent is far more of q curiosity than ma
tive Gaelic is in parliament.
