Two Vanishing Types.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
 Two vanishing types of the Ameri- can are, alas still presented in the new novels and the current magazines, although they are rare indeed in real life. These are the backwoods farm CT with the fringed beard, bent back and the down east dialect, and the western desperado with flashing eyes, quick pistol hand and whole dictionary of swear words. Doubtless it will be many years before the residents of Great Britain awaken to the fact that these two personages are not the high est human products of our American civilization. Here on this side of the water the two caricatures will con- tinue to be cherished ones in the pas toral novels and the blood-and-thunder melodramas until some other burlesque can be made popular.
 The railroads and telegraph lines have put almost inaccessible districts into close touch with the great centers of population. Yankee ingenuity has enabled the American farmer to ac- complish wonders with the aid of az. ricultural machinery. Good-sized cities are so numerous in the United States that only small population is really isolated. The western desperado has disappeared before the hardy and de- termined settlers of the frontier. In some cases he has become a milliOn- aire or a prominent citizen In the last few years trolley lines and rural mall routes have put the farm house in daily touch with the busy world of business and commerce.

A SAFE WAGER.
Amiral Dewey's Apt Rebuke to an Im-
 pertinent Stranger.

From the New York Mall and Express.
 Among the many annoyanees to which men prominent in the nations service are subject is the constant effort of irrepressi- ble strangers to affect an appearance of the greatest intimacy with them.
 In Washington Admiral Dewey is. per haps, the greatest sufferer in this respect. Courteous and genial as he is, the admiral invariably greets every one saluting him; but he detests the species of strange indi- vidual who endeavors to approach him in the manner usually reserved for his inti- mate friends.
 Not long since the head of the navy was astonished suddenly to find his hand grasped by a man whom he had never to his knowledge seen before. This person had the effrontery to exclaim
