THE DRAMA OF this country has been
passing through a process Of sy0-
4 luton which permits one TO say
today that it possesses distinctly
American characteristics. We have Gre
ated for ourselves a separate standard
and a standard which IS purc-. broader.
and higher than that or Europe.
To make this clear. let me explain that

THE SENATOR'S BREAD AND MILK.

A member Of the United States Senate
is said to have had a somewhat unpleas-
ant and GyasDeTaung experience a. At
lanuc City net long ago. He went TO one
OF the hotels for a weeks stay and agreed
to pay eight dollars a day for his meals
and room. Almost Immediately on his ar
rival he was seized with an indisposition
and his doctor ordered him to eat nothing
bat bread and milk for week. He stayed
at the hotel five days on that fare. When
he saw his bill he was astounded. It was
made out for forty dollars. the sum agreed
upon, plus the pnce Of fifteen dishes of
bread and milk at a quarter each, three
dollars and seventy-fve cents.
The Senator spluttered in vain. The
clerk pointed out the fact that dishes not
on the bill of fare are charged extra at
that hotel. The Senator now says that he
will tell all his friends to keep away. and
make it cost that hotel d thousand dollars
before he gets through.
