DOES NOT LIKE TOURISTS.
Missouri Editor Vents His Opinion of
Wanderers on Earth's Surface.

Since his recent visit to Havana.
Cuba, where he dined with men from
every part of the world. Bob White, of
the Mexico (AIo) Ledger seems TO
nave taken antipathy to tourists as a
class. In recent issue of his paper
he says: 'The party was not a large
one, either"-the world isn't very large.

lists, and especially the Americans.
who are now 'doing" Havana by thou
saids. "A regrettable feature of the
tourist" he writes, sis the absolute
lack Of consideration found among
many OF them-their ruthlessness-and
disregard of the privacy of homes, sa-
cred edlfices, or wherever else their
bent takes them. They enter the grand
old churches during sacred service.
when the congregations are devoutly
and silently following the impressive
services. They explore all parts of the
building, talking in loud tones, cross
ing and recrossing, sometimes with
their. hats on, between the kneeling
congregation and the altar, snappinp
their kodaks at whatever objects at
tract them most.
with what disgust must the people
mere regard such demonstrations
what contempt must they feel toward
thls class. At the present amazing
progress of this grossness, hoggishness
we could well say, we may soon hear
that all the churches in the city have
been closed to visitors. Were the Cu.
bans to go to the States and conduct
themselves as many Americans do
here, 1t Is certain that they would be
summarily dealt with, and they would
deserve it, as do that class of Ameri
cans to whom so much forbearance is
now being shown in Havana"

GOODNIGHT.

The day has gone to sleep, within the
wales,
Shadows are Graded in the em'rald
grass,
And on the heights the roseate sunset
pales,
And from the clouds the crimson colors
pass.
Good night, sweet day! The stars come
out on high,
To watch the pathway which your
footsteps trod,
And pave with vastness the great deeps
of sky,
And bring our souls in fuller touch
with God.
