 What has become of the pretty girl that used to wait on this table?r he asked, unfolding his napkin and look ing up with genial smile.
 T have always waited on this table sir frigidly answered the waitress. placing the bill of fare before him.
 The historian deems it best to draw veil over the dinner that was brought to that travelling man half an hour later.

American fdeaIism.

Since my first arrival in America have held that the real spirit Is ideal istie and that the average individual American is controlled by idealistc impulses. Those who may contradict me can not have sounded the depths Of the philosophy of Ralph Waiao Emerson, or studied the life and reaa the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, ana considered their far-reaching effect on the American people. In Lincolhs great character nothing can be more striking than the way in which no combined reality and the loftiest ideab with a thoroughly practical capacg to achieve that ideal by praetica' methods. This faculty seemed to giss him a far-slghted, almost superhumSa vision. which enabled him to pierc' the clouds obscuring the sight of n' keenest statesmen and thinkers of nis age-Baron Speck von Sternburg, m Forum.

AZ Guessp and t!Calcnlate''', are Eng
lsh, Not American.

The accepted manner Of defining
Americans, either male or female, in
the London comic papers or in Sec
ond-rate English novels is to lard
their speech plentifully with "calcu-
'qate" and guess" ands with well"
at the opening Of each sentence.
This mode Of marking, or any other,
is in itself totally unimportant, but
'linguistically 1t Is not without inter
est, for while it is purely convention
al as now used and has no relation
to any American habits of the pres
ent day, whether good Or bad, 1t Is
pleasant to note that the hard-worked
insular humorist need not have gone
SO far afield to And the words neces-
sary for the identification OF Ameri-
cans. They really had but to turn
to the New Letters" of Thomas Car
lyle (vol. p. 1879 and there read
the following sentence: "He has
brought you a Fox's book of Martyrs,
which l calculate will go in the par
eel today; you will get right good
out of it, I guess. From
"The Origin Of Certain American
isms," by Sen. H. G. Lodge in the
June Scribner.

SNOWFALL IN MOUNTAINS.
Il. & o. Trainmen Report the Beau
tifuI In the Alleghenies.

Parkersburg, w. Va, May %
Baltimore & Ohio trainmen arriving
from the east on Monday, reported
that snow was falling at various
places In the mountains. They Say
that they met with heavy falls Of the
beautiful. In the rivers and streams
along the road leaves were floating,
and there was general appearance
of fall weather. The men stated
that Sunday and Monday were bitter
cold days for railroading across the
mountains. A cold rain fell the
greater part Of the time and the ma
jority Of the crews suffered.
Many Of the men on the run over
the Allegheny mountains are suffer
ing from severe colds, and there Is
general tendency among them to
lay off until better weather sets in.
The men feel the unpleasant weather
much more than during the winter
months when they are hardened to
the. cold and rain. Many have pre-
pared for warm weather in their
dress and, the cold, damp spell Is
a severe hardship upon
their physical conditions.
