HER IMPRESSIONS OF AMERICA
Ellen Terry Pleased with Everything
But Steam Heat.

The first institution in America that
distressed me was the steam heat 1t
is far more manageable now than IL
was. both In hotels and theaters, be-
cause there are more individual heat
ers. But how | suffered from 1t at
first / cannot describe. | used to reel
dreadfully ILL., and when we could not
turn the heat off at the theater the
play always went badly. My voice
was affected, too. At Toledo once 1t
nearly went altogether. Then the next
night, after a good fight. we got the
theater COOL and the difference to the
play was extraordinary.
II did not like steam heat loved
the ice which is such feature at
American meals. Everything Is
served on ice. ! took kindly TO their
dishes-thelr cookery at its best Is
better than the French-and I sadly
missed planked shad, terrapin, and the
oyster-at its best and at its cheapest
in America-when | returned to Eng
land.-Ellen Terry, In McClure's.
Gratitutc.
In the course Of speech not long
ago Representative John Sharp Will
liams illustrated his point by story
of an old colored woman In Alabama,
whose extreme age and helplessness
were such that her neighbors felt
called upon to supply all her needs.
The aged negress was very grateful
for all such attentions. and never
failed to express her gratitude there
for in original language.
1t appearing one day that she could
not sufficiently thank the son Of an
old friend who had brought her some
choice fruit the old woman said:
"You is powerful good to pore ole
woman like me, wild one foot in de
grave an de odder a-cryin' out, How
long, oh Lawd, how ls~g9"

Gossip of RalIwayme1

There Is only one trust for which

roadman who is regarded as the great
est duck hunter in the Transportation
club, and that is the rubber trust. I
am a peaceabIe, law abiding citizen and

l confess to murderous feelings when
| learned that the rubber trust has the
audacity to object to the advance in
rates on rubber boots and shoes from
the east to California terminals.
They have the nerve to apply for
a continuation of the present basis.
which is s1,35 per carload and $1.s5
less than carload lots, while the new
rate is $3.50 and 50. If hunting men
had the making of the rates, espe-
cially the one whose gum shoes had
sucked in about gallon of water in
short tramp, what kind of rate
would the rubber trust get? am pre-
pairing paper to show that the best
and cheapest way to drain our marsh
lands is for men to wear the gum
boots made by the rubber trust and
tramp through the country. They will
suck up all the water and make the
land dry.

will be discarded, but / suppose the
poor hunter will be made to pay more
