YOUNG AMERICANS ABROAD.
No Longer Find 1t Wise to Get Educa-
ton in European Schools.

If we knew little about the older
generations of American men, we GER
tainly know less about the young
American man; it almost seems to us
as if he did not exist, for he but rarely
one to England. He occasionally
goes to Elton, or perhaps for a short
time to one Of the universities, but
Americans are beginning to realize
that a man not only gains little but
loses much by being educated out OF
his country, among traditions and GUS
toms which he does not understand,
for which he has no sentiment and
from whose influence the whole of his
future life must separate him. There
is no advantage to an American boy,
who is TO go. back to his country and
remain an American, to come over
here to school, while the implied SUI
p~eriority of an English over an Amer
lean school is a slight on his country.
There seemed a possibility a few years
ago of American boys being sent to
England to be educated at some of our
public schools, but the fashion has
changed, probably because the patriot
ism of America could not tolerate it's
young men being brought up under
foreign traditions and associations.
The American young man is mostly
seen, so far as foreigners are ON
cerned, at German watering places,
and no one would admit more readily
than his compatriOts that he is not
seen there at his best. The life of a
German watering place does not de-
veIop the finest qualities of either men
or women, and where there is nothing
to do but loaf about" a young man
does not shine.-Lady Jeune in Col
lier's Weekly.

DR.. J. F. Ensor, Postmaster of Columbia,

"After using your Peruna myself for

"Peruna is the best medicine | know OF

Only the weak need a tonic. People are
never weak except from some good cause.
One of the obscure causes Of weakness and
the one ~oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh infiames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
through he mucous membrane in the form
Of mucous. This discharge of mucous is the
same as the loss of blood. 1t produces
weakness.
Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents

Interrupts.

Kcnosha, Wis, May IS. Great excite
ment prevailed in the village of Beach,
just south of Kenosha, this morn
ing when a battle Snsued between two
unknown robbers and a crowd of Italian
laborers. The Italians were living in
cars along the track and at , o'clock this
morning the rooms of one of the laborers
were entered by two unknown men. An
tonic Germino was sleeping in the
n~eighboring room and when the burglars
attempted to remove his clothing a fierce
hand-to-hand contest ensued. In the
fight the robbers drew revolvers and be-
gan firing. Germino fell to the floor
with a bullet wound. in his arm. The
burglars escaped followed up the track
by the entire community. Germino was
brought to this city for treatment and
the bullet was removed from his arm.
The Italians had just been paid off a few
days g and the robbers managed to get

NEW DIVORCE REMEDY.
Ministers Want the Doctors to Decide on
Each Marriaqe.

Des Moines, Iowa, May 13.-The minis
tiers of Des Moiues to-day took a stand
in favor Of a marriage commission to be
composed of three male and three female
physicians to have absolute control of the
marriages in every county. The commit
tee was advocated by Judge A. II. McNey
OF the district court in an address before
the association, and while no formal ac-
ton was taken the plan was most
warmly commended. Judge McNey was
urged to nave a bill embodying his plan
introduced in the next general assembly.
Some of the ministers took the attitude
that the restriction of marriages would
effectually solve the divorce evil. Others,
however, declared that the number of
marriages was not as large as it ought to
be. Rev. Hugh Jack Of the Westminster
Presbyterian church took the position
that there should be early marriages.
on the whole the members of the associa-
ton declared themselves in favor of a
commission to regulate marriages.

The Climax OF Dinner In Honor OF

AT the close of the case of Whistler
against Ruskin, the former, finding
himself very much in need of rest and
recreation. decided to make a southern
| trip. When he arrived in Venice his
| American friend thought to cheer him
by giving a little dinner in his honor,
to which were hidden several friends
of the artist, principally Americans
and some few Italians. During the
meal there arose Il discussion which
left an opening for Mr.. Whistler to
use upon his host one of those keen.
incisive, verbal thrusts peculiar to him,
which left wounds extremely difficult
to heal. The whole company was
startled, but the host merely smiled,
seeming to notice only the brilliancy of
the attack. Presently, however, the
dinner came to an end and the foreign
guests took their leave. Then the host
turned upon Mr.. Whistler and, in a
voice trembling with suppressed anger,
said:
Jimmie, do you know that you bru-
tally insulted me tonight?"

"Well," continued the host, 81 held

do you know what 1 shall do if ever
you speak to me like that again?"
"What?'

The rest of the company sat quite
still, horror and dismay in their hearts,
while their angry host glared across
the table at his antagonist. After a
few seconds Mr.. Whistler said in a tone
of childlike innocence:
''Then l know what I'll do. I'll never
say anything like that to you again.

Ruslin as a Gardener.

Fond as Ruskin was of flowers, espe-
cially wild ones, he had his own ideas
as to what garden ought to be, and
in his practical gardening was quite a

and continuing pretty hooks. When he
first came to Brentwood he would have
his coppice cut no more. 1t spindled
up to great tall steps, slender and sin
uous, promising no timber, and past
the age for all commercial use or time
honored wont. Neighbors shook their
heads, but they did not know the
pictures of Botticelli, and Ruskin had
made his coppice into an early Italian
altar piece. Then he had his espalier

and a few standard fruit trees and
some Strawberries mixed with flow

and his fathers patience finally gave

into fight with man and came very
near killing him. Bob was arrested
and held to wait the mans recovery.
When he was released from custody
his father received him in anger. Bob,
| who felt his disgrace keenly and with
al was high spirited, declared that he
would not remain at home to be taunt-

on his family, but would go where they
would not be troubled with him. Kiss

walk leading to the gate. With his

disappeared.

had hard luck with our children. We
must be content with each other"
The wife said nothing but as soon as
her husband left the house went to her
room to weep, to weep for her son. for
since Elias departure her craving for
him had come back to her with double
