What Is Typical American?

Every nation, or rather every his
toric race, has certain attributes in
addition to the great and more obvious
virtues it believes to be peculiarly its
own, and in which it takes an especial
pride, writes Henry Cabot Lodge in
McClure's. We of the United States
like to think of the typical American
as a brave man and an honest man
very human, with nc vain pretense to
infallibility. We would have him sim.
pie in his home life, democratic in his
ways, with the highest education that
the world can give, kind to the weak
tender and loyal and true never quar-.
relsome. but never afraid to fight. with
a strong, sane sense of humor. and
with strain of adventure in his blood
which we shall never cease to love
until those ancestors of ours who con.
quered continent have drifted a good
deal farther into the past than is the
case to-day. These are the qualities
which all men admire and respect and
which thus combined we like to think
peculiarly American.

The Harper's Soma.

This sweetness trembling from the
strings.
The troublous music in the lutte.
Hath timed Herodias' daughters foot.
Setting a-clink her ankle rings
When as she danced to feasted kings;
Whose gemmed apparel cleaned AND
caught
The sunset meath the golden dome
To the dark beauties of old Rome
MY Sorrowful lutte hath haply brought
Sad memories sweet with tender thought.
When night had fallen. and lights and
fires
Were darkened in the homes of men.
Some signing echo stirred. and then
The old cunning Weakened from the wires
The old sorrows and the old desires
Dead kings in long forgotten lands
And all dead beauteous women. Some
Whose pride imperial hath become,
Old armor rusting in the sands.
And shards of iron in dusty hands
Have heard my Tyres soft rise and fall
Go trembling down the paven ways
Till every heart was all ablaze.
Hasty each foot, to obey the call
Could I begin again the slow.
Sweet. mournful music filled with tears,
Surely the old dead, dusty ears
Would hear, the old drowSy eyes would
glow,
Old memories come-old hopes and
fears
And Time restore the long ago.

when a man hath found, he hideth
and for joy thereof goeth and selleth
all that he hath, and buyeth that

His discourse was full of interest
and apparently much enjoyed by the
class. AT its close a general discus
sion of the subject took place. Then
Mr.. Rockefeller again addressed the
class briefly.
Now let us sing he concluded
somewhat abruptly.
Signaling to the quartet in the chol
loft with one hand and reaching fol
a hymnal with the other, the class
leader joined in the hearty response
that followed. AS the final notes OF
the deep-toned organ concluded
trailing offertory, the young multi
millionaire class leader pronounced
brief benediction.
This done, the secretary made
number of announcements as to the
program for the coming week, and the
class adjourned. as customary, to the
adjoining reception room, where mem
bers and visitors alike were to meet
and converse personally with the
young magnate.
His hand clasp was no less cordial
than his smile on meeting a press
representative until an interview was
preached. His hands swiftly vanished
behind his back. He glanced quickly
about. Yet the smile remained as he
said quietly: Il would prefer not *
discuss the class work. We are always
glad to welcome visitors and to show
by our actions just what we are doing
But it is a family tradition that we
permit our actions to do our talking

The Southern express never carried
a more reluctant passenger than
Kathie Darrell, who was en- route to
visit her grandmother, not from choice
but ordered there perforce by stern
parents. Simply because she had been
meeting Dick Mordaunt, sub rosa. after
he had been forbidden the house. Not
that there was anything Objectionable
in Dick, but there was silly, family
feud handed down from two genera
tiOns
MY only Inheritance" laughed
Dick.
Ever since her earliest childhood
days she had been sent to South Har-
Dor when she had incurred the paren-
tai displeasure, and she had come to
look upon her grandmother's house as
veritable ST. Helena. Her grand
mother was not the picturesque, story
book grandmother, with soft, white
hair and a passion for spelling chill
dren; on the contrary, she was a for
bidding, stern-visaged female of mid
die age, with ironclad rules for the de-
pertinent of the young.
Kathie had been so strictly guarded
since the discovery of her meetings
with Dick that she had found no OPP
portunity to inform him of her exile.
Within a few miles of her destina-
ition the train stopped. After long
wait the conductor explained that
freight train had broken down a few
miles ahead and INSTRUCTED the way.
How grand!' thought Kathie. I'D
rather stay here all night than at
grandmother's.
Two hours later the conductor an
nounced that the passengers would be
in waiting on the other side of the
wreck.
1t was a dark, moonless, starless
night. A deep embankment on each
side of the track left no alternative but
tie-walking. an accomplishment neg
lected in Kathie's education. The 9TH
er occupants of her coach, including a
rice-showered couple. had preceded
Kathie in exit, and she found herself
quite alone. Presently she came to
the scene of the wreck, where she
was forced to leave the track and find
her way over stretch of rough
ground She heard the sound of APP
preaching voices and steps.
Just then she stubbed her toe and
fell headlong. A lantern flashed a red
light in her face. and a blue-coated
figure picked her up.
Are you hurt?'
No, but what are you going back
for?''
You are from the south-bound
train. Your car is on the other side
of the wreck"
The conductor must have taken
good care of his passengers said a
voice
The voice belonged to Dick Nor
daunt. In the darkness Kathie recog-
nized it because she loved it
"Oh. Dicki''
What? Kathie! Where are you 60
ing?"

will be at one train, if she has heard
of the wreck, and grandma at the
other. Half way between is good
enough for me-"
Lets take a chance on your grand
mothers; but where are all the other
passengers that were in your coach ?"
Didn't you meet them? There was
a newly Unmarried couple on board
THAT must have been the couple
saw at the switch back here. They
had paused to take cod mug"
rs this the switch where they
stopped, Dick?" asked Kathie demure-
", a few minutes later. "Oh, Dicki
That wasn't fair"
Wasn't it? But there gbes your
train."
mo! Your train
well call it our train
The conductor was waving his Ian
tern wildly when they came up to
the train.
You took your time,'' he growled.
Il fell down en- route" asserted
Kathie. your company is fortunate
if they don't have a damage suit
brought against them
Thereat the conductor held his
peace.
When they reached the little station
Dick discreetly left the car before the
train quite pulled up, and made
reconnoitre.
There's no one here to meet you,

NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE.
Man Thought New York Was Being
Torn Up to Find His Watch.

Torn Up to Find His Watch.
Only those unfortunate enough to
live anywhere in the vicinity of Park
avenue between Forty-second and
Fifty-seyenth streets, where large
force of men are at work apparently
tearing up the city from its very roots
in order, so it is said, to increase the
number of tracks running into the
Grand Central station, can appreciate
fully the point of the following anec
dote:
A friend of Commissioner McAdoo
while passing through the city for the
first time in his life lost a watch
which he valued highly Not familiar
with Manhattan isle, and thinking it
built on the same plan as the country
town from which he had come, the
man wrote to the commissioner of his
loss and asked him to do his best to
hunt up the missing article. Mr.. Nc
Adoo answered that he would do all in
his power to recover the watch and
would not leave a stone unturned in
the search.
A short While after this the friend
we will call him Jones to simplify
matters-happened to be a second time
in the great city of New York, and
by chance business took him to Fifty
seventh street and Park avenue. At
glance he took in what was to him
the only explanation for the existing
state of affairs. Rushing post haste to
the nearest telegraph Office he sent
the following astounding message to
the commissioner:
DO not bother any longer. Watch
not worth it. J. JONES'
