FOREIGNERS TRUST AMERICANS.
Experience of Man Just Back From
Europe.

Americans may be easy marks for
the merchants abroad" said a man
who recently returned from a tour IN
Europe, "but 1t seems to me that the
venders themselves are somewhat easy
from an American point Of view.
mean in the matter of giving credit. I
was amazed at 1t.
From my own experience l draw
the conclusion that any we'll dressed
and honest looking American can go
into a majority Of the small shops In
several European cities and take away
goods valued at 500 or more without
paying a cent Of cash or giving more
than his word that he will settle his
debt as soon as remittance reaches
him or even after he returns home.
"Shopkeepers over there seem to
have the idea that Americans are alb
solutely honest, and appear to be per-
fectly willing to trust them for sub
stantial amounts. I thought at first
that my frank and open countenance
was responsible for the childlike faith
with which my word was accepted. but
friends abroad have told me that the
custom of trust to Americans Is pretty
general.
my wife and l went into a lace
shop in Brussels and bought a little
but didn't have enough money to make
hnf uufc
wife told the saleswoman that she
would like to purchase more. but that
she didn't have the cash at the mo-
ment and couldn't draw on her letter
of credit that day as the banks were
closed.
Madame must take the goods, re-
piled the saleswoman. "She may give
us her London address and send us
the amount when she returns there
but haven't any London address,
replied my wife. That isn't our home
and I don't even know where we Will
stay when we are there
Madame's New York address Will
do as WE'LL answered the saleswoman
She may send the money after she
returns to America
"Well that took me off my feet
Try her. I said to my wife, and she
did.
"She selected about s125 worth of
laces, handed over personal card that
might have been her own or might
not, and walked out Of the shop with
all hands bowling most politely.
Now those store people had no
earthly way Of knowing whether we
we were good or bad pay, or anything
about us, but they deliberately took
the chance that we were honest. VI
course, we sent the cash as soon as we
were able to draw on our letter OF
credit and We got polite note OF
thanks enclosed with the receipted DILL
"In Venice the same thing happen
ed again in shop where we went 10
buy some bronzes. We wished to buy
more than we had expected and the
same offer Of unlimited credit was
made and accepted, on the strength
of a personal card.
"Why those shopkeepers are not
swindled I don't know. 1t would be
perfectly easy for a slick American to
work the credit game all over Europe
and sail for home with thousands OF
dollars worth Of stuff. And 1t would
be like taking candy from a baby, be-
cause the slick American could never
be traced.
But evidently nobody has tried the
game, for one shopkeeper informed me
that Americans were always good
pay."-New York Sun.

THE BUccANEERs.-Origin buc-
cancers were peaceful English, French
and Dutch settlers in the Spanish
West Indies, and they received their
name on account of their custom or
drying their meat, in the Indian fash
ion, on a buccan., or hurdle. the
Spaniards resented strongly the intru-
sion of these foreigners and made
many attempts to oust them, but the
buccaneers were a hardy set Of men
and crack shots with the musket, so
they successfully resisted all the Span
iards' attacks and obstinately remained
in the islands. What it was that caus-
ed the buccaneers to abandon their
comparatively peaceful mode Of living
and take to piracy it Is hard to say.
Possibly the constant harrying to
which they were subjected by the
Spaniards prompted them to retaliate;
but, whatever the reason, their depre-
dations soon rendered the passage OF
the Caribbean sea an undertaking or
extreme danger to merchantmen, and
the word buccaneer has come down as
a synonym for robbery, murder and all
the vices.

TREE DOCTORS THE LATEsT-f men
and animals have physicians why
should not trees also have them. Thus
reasoned two young men in Upper
Gynedd township, Montgomery coun-
ty. and now they are establishing a
lucrative business as tree doctors.
The idea was suggested to them by
the ravages Of the San Jose scale last
summer. To conquer this pest re-
quires constant watchfulness in sum-
mer and winter, but many owners Of
trees are unable to spare the necessary
time and hence lose their trees. Then
these two young men offer to take the
contract to care for the trees. Equip
ped with a spraying machine they
make their rounds, diagnosing the all
ments of trees and shrubbery and ap-
plying suitable remedies to kill larvae
and parasites and to promote healthy
growth.-Philadelph Record.

Mr.. HADLEY's LITTLE SToRY.-At a
reception given for President Hadley
one individual asked him what he
thought Of the recent baseball game.
AS Yale had been defeated, the subject
might be called unpleasant.
Without hesitation President Hadley
said: There was a boy living in a
village whose uncle died. The next
day a man driving along the road was
surprised to find the boy working in
the field. Thinking this did not show
proper respect for the dead uncle, he
called the lad to him and said: John

dead?' Johnny slowly approached and
