SEEING AMERICA OR EUROPE
 FIRST.

It is always refreshing to receive advice d little different from what we might expect A Maine school girl writing to the social Question department of the Washington Herald says that her parents have given her her choice of an extended vacation either in her own country or Europe. She much prefers the latter choice. but she has not seen much of America outside the Pine Tree state. What shall she do about it?
 The Herald resolves her perpleXily as follows:
 You know, the Bromide says when asked if she has ever been to Europe. ''No. l want to see my own country first" and I am afraid that you are somewhat of a Bromide. There is no reason why one should see his own country first. and for q school girl it seems to me that there should be no question as to choice, for one can gain much more knowledge and culture by a trip to Europe than by extended travel in the United States and the reasons are obvious. The very air of Europe is laden with history and tradition, the streets of the towns are lined with marveIs of architecture, which is frozen history as well as frozen music" Any one of the great galleries contains more numerous and wonderful sculptures and paintings than are to be found in the whole of the Western continent. If one has the slightest inclination to learn, all the material she needs is close at hand and to escape culture is almost impossible, though, it must be con- fessed, that some people accomplish the impossible and return home from an European trip with trunks filled with magnificent clothes and quite empty pates. l say nothing about the scenery, for in this regard America has as much as any country to offer; but in history, art, traditions, she is naturally poor because of her youth Your own country is beautiful and in' spring. You should see 1t from the most northern point in Alaska to the most southern tip of Florida, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but do not be afraid visit Europe first, for you will enjoy your own all the more for having done SO"

Letter. Delayed Forty-seven Years.


SIOUX CITY, Ia. Aug. 1l.-(Special.)-
Colonel A. d. Collier has just received.
after Il years, a packet of letters which
were written and mailed to him in 1861.
The letters were sent to Colonel Collier
while he was a private in the union army.
He was a member of X company of the
First Iowa infantry, He enlisted in 1861
and II was while his regiment was at Keo-
kuk that the bunch Of letters was sent to
him. How they became mlslaid and finally
lost probably never will be known. It Is
a curious coincidence hat most of the
letters were postmarked on dates in the
middle of May, 81. and that on May 20,
Colonel Collier was given an order on the
army postmaster by Lieutenant stinson to
ask him to get the mail for the company
on that evening. Some of the lost letters
evidently should have been in the packet
which Mr.. Collier received.
