 "AAd another thing" be said. "our railway servants are mole courteous than foreign ones. Foreign porters and ticket sellers are a very erusty lot.
 "An American and Briton were once riding up to London in first class carriage. The American, ct a certain station, leaned out and said to the porter on the platform:
 "'What station is this, broth erT
 Birmingham, of course said the, porter in 8 surly tone. Can't you see' the name posted upT
 ''The American, after drawing in his head, said to the Englishman:
 "Now that was piece of discount esy you wouldn't meet with in Amer lea. An American porter would have answer me with polished politeness.'
 "The Englishman smiled.
 "'Ah, but it was your own fault, that rebuff,'he said. Pardon me for mem tioning it. but your mannef was too blufT, too rough -and-ready. The por- ter took you for a-er-a bounder. Now, at the next station, I will myself ask a porter some question, and I'll ask it in the gracious, condescending way we do such things over here. I warrant you I'll receive the most court eous of answers
 "All right said the American short ly, a little hurt at having been mis- talk en for a bounder.
 Well, at the next station, the car riage drew up near porter, and the English man-he was a typical, TO- tund, rosy old John Bull--put his head out of the window. showed all his false teeth in a glittering smile, and purred:
 "Porter, would you kindly tell me the name of this stationT
 The porter glanced up. and then. as he slouehed of, called back over his shoulder:
