AMERICAN GIRLS IN EUROPE.
Compared With the Demure Young
 Women of the Continent.

American girls are of course much admired in Europe, not only for their good looks and clever talk, but for certain dash that seems to differentiate them from the more demure young women of the con tinent. They carry themselves and their good clothes with an assured air, as of Romans born; and while sometimes the tone of distinc ion vanishes when conversation begins, this Is too often the case with nobil- ity itself, if reports be true. But once in while one meets a Paris ienne who need not fear com parison with even the most modish American girl. Such one the Spectator was fortunate in having as his vis-a-vis on a little journey out of Paris. Tall, well formed, with perfect features and marvel ous complexion that ye3 seemed all her own, with magnificent black eyes and hair and eyebrows to match, she was dressed in blue and white with red picture hat on her per fectly poised head and not too many rings on her shapely fingers. If any one ever deserved a first class car. 1t is she, though the Spectator; but there she sat opposite him., in a second class car and with a second class man by her side, The ordin- ary Frenchman does not dress in distinguished fashion whatever may be the case with his wife. And this must be his wife indeed, try-for almost never word do they ex- change on the whole journey! Where is the French loquacity? Plenty of 1t in the next compart- ment. Lut this radiant creature is content to sit and admire the scenery-and perhaps to be. admired by the Spectator-while Monsieur reads a batch of papers. At last finding something amusing. he pass es the sheet to Madame As she takes. he paper its title catches the Spectators eyes. It is-saints de- lend us!-L'Indiscret, But the name may convey a wrong impress sion to. a foreigner. The Spectator insists on believing that L'Indis- cret Is thoroughly respectable pa per with a misleading name Spectator in the Outlook.

A Lit.I. Nor. Than Your Income.

A young man. being asked how much 1t cost to live in New York city, replied. "A little more than your in. come. whatever that is" A young city clergyman on his first round of parish calls found a family on the verge of starvation. The man had been out of work for months. He had wife and five children. the youngest baby. They had just eaten the last bit of food in the house. The young clergy man gave them S5 and collected for them s20 more before the day was out. A few days later he called to see about getting work for the man. They were again on the point of starving. With the S25 the woman had bought fine new baby carriage, some coffee and sugar. When the clergyman expostu- lated she indignantly denied extrava- gance. The children had broken the old carriage. and 1t was necessary the baby should have daily airing. As for the coffee 1t was the first they had had in weeks. They were accustomed to 1t and needed it.-Appleton's Maga- zine

OUR PEOPLE ARE IDEALIsTs.

| These summer assemblies, with their just. proportion. of wholesome
 pleasure and intellectual activity,
 with exercises, with field sports, with the inquiries of science and the de- l lights of literature are, striking indication of the unsuitable yearning of the American heart. The Ameri-
 can people are idealists The man who goes about picturing our com
 munities as filled with men having | no higher ideal than the amassing
 of wealth, thinking solely of selfish enjoyment, utters the basest libel
 upon the American people. If we can only keep the successful man.
 lhe leader in business, in politics, or Tin any of the activities of our great ! life true to the sentiments of the heart of the average American we should have less cause for alarm.
 The American people are full of zeal for good things. good ideals of | their fathers are still cherished la
 their hearts, the spirit of liberty and the desire to maintain incorruptibili- ty of their institutions are just as conspicuous to-day as they were in
 the days of '76.
 Different periods give new duties
 and furnish new opportunities for pa
 triotic endeavor. Washington had his troubles, and all the members of the continental army were not de-
 voted patriots, Washington and
 those who fought with him to estab- fish our liberties had anxieties in order to keep his army in the field, and who to-day would fail to take
 note of the fact that in every com
 munity throughout this broad land the real sentiment of the people,
 whether radical here or conservative there, is simply that the administra-
 tion and the government shall be
 straightforward and impartial.-Ad,

FINDINGS NOT MEETINGS.
Lost Articles Are Always Crying Out
 For Their Owners.

For Their Owners.
 When one is on the public thorough fare or in the street car or train or boat and picks up an object that fs valuable, is 1t his?
 True. he may find something which is too small and trifiing to warrant searching to find the owner. such as q handkerchief. pair of gloves. etc. But when he finds something of value 1t is not bis until he has done every thing in his power to find the owner.
 The street railways and trains are so systematized today that if. when one finds an object of value. he re- turns 1t to the company's representa- tive 1t is almost sure to catch up with Its owner. Every person of intelli. gence knows that the first place to inquire for it is at the lost and found department
 When. however. one is on the street and finds something which. if he lost 1t himself. he would very much like to have returned. there are the columns of newspaper in which to advertise.
 If he fails to find the owner after this. then he can rightfully call it his own and have clear conscience. but if he avoids looking over the lost and found columns and fails to do his part toward finding the owner he is almost as dishonest as if he took the goods.-- Chicago Record Herald.

UNFAITHFUL CHAUFFEURs.

No one can observe automobiling in the later evening hours in almost any part of eastern Massachusetts, without becoming convinced that a l" | :, share of the reeklessness which br.ags the whole motoring class into disrepute may be charged to the chauffeur who takes his friends off on a lark with his employers ma- chine, but without obtaining any au- thority to do so.
 Three recent cases of this kind have been brought to the attention or the highway commission. Occur rences of this sort are constantly coming to light in the local courts. Thus far the highway commission has contented itself with taking away the offenders license. This is small punishment for the offender. who quietly moves across the state line and resumes his offenses in another commonwealth. The commission has not proceeded against him at law or made any test of the efficacy of exist ing statutes for reaching him. No lime should be lost In doing this. |: our laws permit of the same inter- pretation as the statute which was utilized in New York. this class ot onense can be rooted out without waiting for the legislature to be more specific in defining them. There are many agencies for putting this law to the test. There is the offended owner; there are various owners as- sociation, and there is the highway commission. While it is highly de- sirable that owners should. at any amount of personal inconvenience. prosecute a former employe who has been found guilty of this offense. fl IS not often easy for them to do this. and not at all times even possible. The temptation to settle a case on payment of the damages, or even to drop 1t altogether. is so great that unless some responsible body is charged with seeing to 1t that the criminal law is invoked this is un- fortunately not likely to be done. Just why some of the various owners associations. protesting to occupy themselves with this class of work have not taken up some of these cases is not at all evident. Even a lost case would be a, voucher for their earnestness. and up to dateness Tn the cause of safer roads would be an argument with the next legis- lature for new legislation.
 As to the highway commission. the present law compels the local courts to assist it to the extent of reporting to 1t certain offenses which come be- lore them on which it may take ac- ton: Why should not 1t be com pelled to reciprocate and report cases with criminal end to some prosecut- ing officer? The finance commission has considered it its duty to report such cases. Why should we not ex- pect the same of the highway com mission? It is possible that more laws may be needed to break m this evil but for the present at Ieas; every energy should be exerted for testing the adequacy of existing stat utes. What organization is better qualified to lead in this than inc highway commission. with it's forco Of paid inspectors?-Boston Tran script.

Serious For Once.

An army captain on returning home from India brought with him a goodly stock of souvenirs. Among them was a pair of laughing jackasses. which he intrusted to one of the sailors. Tom Pinch.
 Alas! The unnccustomed shipboard life did not agree with the creatures. and in spite of all Toms care theg pined and finally died.
 When he discovered the catastrophe, Tom was in despair.
 "I daren't tell the captaln!"
 Don't shirk it, mate." said hIs pal. Break 1t to him gently. You'll find it'll be all right"
 The advice seemed sound. and Tom sought the gallant captain.
 "Scuse me. sir" he said. you know them things below-what you call larfin' jackasses? Well. sir. they ain't got muffin to larf at this mornins."- London Scraps.

POLI'S

THE PRINCE OF SPENDTHRIFTS.
 Folly and fortune make a whirl- wind combination. This is thorough ly depicted in A. H. Woods's supreme sensation, The Prince of Spend thrifts," powerful melodrama, in- teresting to all ages. The action is cyclonic from beginning to end. There are nineteen scenes and every one filled with wondrous array of mechanical and electrical devices. The story tells of young man who tries to dissipate an inherited for tune; his adventures carry him around the globe, and at every turn something new and novel is devel- oped. Under management of A. H. Woods the attraction comes to Polls on Saturday, August 22, matinee and night. There are fourteen wagon loads of scenery and twenty-two se- lected players, including Thomas Maher of this city.

Excursion to Report Tomorrow.

Don't forget the popular excursion to Newport tomorrow, particulars of which are given in advertisement in to-day's issue. The very low rate of fare brings the trip within the reach of all and those contemplating going are liable to disappointment if they delay purchasing tickets until the morning of the excursion. The trip from New London on the Norwich line steamer City of Lowell, in con- nection with this excursion, makes 1t one of the most charming water trips along the New England coast.

Great City For Prayer.

A visitor to Moscow soon discovers why 1t is called the Holy City. Erery 200 or 300 feet there is a cathedral church. chapel or shrine. and which. ever way you look you see people cross. ing themselves. Until one has seen Moscow the piety of the place Is noI easily understood. The outsider can. not imagine Moscow conditions. He cannot Imagine church bells ringing all the time and people praying in the public streets at all hours of day and night.

MRS. PORTER BOYD's
SUIT FOR DIVORCE

RENO. New. January ia sensa-
tional suit for divorce was filed here
Tuesday by Mrs. Carmen V. Boyd,
wife of the American vice consul at
Shanghai. In her complaint, Mrs.
Boyd alleges THAT four days after she
became the wife of Boyd at Honolulu
in 1893 he came home intoxicated, re-
manning so until she finally left him.
she alleges that he admitted to her
that he had been guilty of inf1delity.
Mrs. Boyd came to Reno several
months ago with her young son. she
conf1ded her secret to no one, and until
the papers were filed in the District
Court today her friends were unaware
of her marital trouble. She has not
taken any part in social affairs, re-
naming in her apartments most of the
time. She is of Spanish-German pa
rentage and has not lived long in the
United States, yet speaks English flu
entity.
we have never lived in the United
states" said Mrs. Boyd tonight, and
I came to Nevada just to avoid noto-
riety. l do not wish to have any SEM
blance of a scandal attached to my
unpleasant married life I assure You
that. though my husband is the Amer
lean vice consul at Shanghai, | have
never taken much part in diplomatic
affairs and care less for them"
In her complaint she asks for the
custody of her etght-year-old son and
alimony in the sum Of 800 a month.
