AMERICAN SLANG IN ROME.
Youngsters Expression Touched the
Hearts of Wanderers.

The universal spread of American
slang is amazing and the globe trot-
ter meets with 1t in the most unex-
pected places Last October two
Americans wandering about the Plaza
d'Espagna in Rome were accosted by
one of the numerous small boys who
sell postal card pictures of the Holy
city. He held out sheaf OF postal
cards and offered them for sale, stat
ing the price in Italian. The Amer
leans did not care to buy, and, like
his guild the continent over, he fol-
lowed them and became bit of a
nuisance. But he was such merry
eyed little chap they had not the heart
to speak harshly to him. At last, how
ever, they felt obliged to say mo-
decidedly. 1t was then that he sur
prised them and gave item queer
little pull at their American heart
strings, by saying, his black eyes
swapping with fun and the magnitude
of the achievement: "Skeedoo! Skee
doc! Twanta-thr-r-r-ree.". Then he
vanished with a burst of laughter
But the sequel was equally interest
ing. Late that same afternoon the
same couple came from : the Gaia
combs into the white glare of the
Appian way, five miles from the
Piazza d'Espagna. They had hardly
stepped into the street before thu
same urchin was at them again
and when he recognized then
he was as amused as they. .Thi
time he did not offer them an,
cards, but simply said: -Skeedoo
Skeedoo! Twanty-thr-r-r-ree! And b
got his generous soldi, as he kne,
q lite well he would.

inquiry about her. Where is Susan?"
she asked the tall and bony structure
who came for the clothes. "She has
gone to Pennsylvania to live, yes
