There is no country in the world

Jules Huret, the Paris journalist, who
has been seeing Yankeeland through
French eyes, reports the Chicago In

do no repairs. When clothes. shoes or
furniture have served their time they
are thrown away Machines ten years
old are sold for old iron, houses are
torn down to make room for more

He notes the wide use of silk in
America among all classes, and re-
marks the privileges granted by the
United States to the silk manufacture

ulate this example and not permit her

There was good deal of news he
said. such as shootings and knifings,
but this news was not regarded as i'm
portant and little attention was paid
to it, l remember once when a local
feud broke out afresh, when members
of the opposing sides met at the coun-
ty seat.
There were hot words, a blow was
struck, and weapons were drawn,
when the sheriff interfered He loudly
announced that he would not tolerate
any violence. ordered the parties to
separate. and when his orders were
not obeyed he began shooting
Il forget whether he killed eight or
nine but l know that in describing
the incident in my paper l commended

action of the sheriff there would have
