PARIS MYTHS EXPLODED.
An American EIboWed Into Gutter by
"PolItest People on Earth"


"Poltest People on Earth"
Tradition declares the French to be
the most polite people in the worll.
They're not, writes Samuel Hopkins
Adams in Golfers. Individually the
Frenchman may be courteous. Col
lectively he lacks the essential ele-
ment OF courtesy, regard for the feel
ings of others.
Charming in private, in public he is
an individualist to the verge of saw
agery. In the theater he is a nui-
sance, on the street he is boor, trav-
cling he is-there is no other word
adequate to the occasion-a hog. You
discover this on the occasion of your
first promenade in Paris.
My first day on the boulevards Of
Paris was spent mainly in the gutter,
my second in apologizing to people
who were urging me thither Ny third
I devoted to doing some butting my
self My fourth, fifth and sixth
nursed lame shoulders.
Now I have a hardened spot in my
my collarbone, and I can look straight
and unquayeling into the eyes of an
elderly French lady with long gray
whiskers and convince her that she
doesn't want more than two-thirds Of
the sidewalk, and that if she does
want it she doesn't get it. This
Cunds ungentlemanly but it's neces-
sary. For if you let yourself get
sbunted into the street often enough
it's only a question of time when a
Uatchful taxi auto will get you.

"Auntie!'
The young man had taken off his
wrench and screw driver.

cleaning. I'd like to get at it and
freshen it up"
He put the hood over the engine
and replaced the tools in their box.

the spark instantly and ran with a
humming smoothness.

He lifted his hat and the car sped
down the highway Then he resumed
his seat by the old lady, and the old
horse continued his journey.
This is my house." said the old
lady as the ancient horse passed
through the broad gateway.
1t was a fine old colonial house in
the midst Of beautiful grounds, and the
young man looked about him with
pleasure.
Il feel like an interloper" he said.
"a good wash will make you feel
like something more pleasant" the
old lady assured him.
And presently when he came down
stairs he showed a marked improve
ment in appearance.
A distant bell rang softly.
Il have invited you to supper" said
the old lady. mo matter what you
may be, my hospitality must take it's
course home"
She led the way into the dining
room and pointed out his seat at the
table
And then the girl suddenly reap
peared. She was followed by gray
haired man of fine appearance.
At sight Of him the young man sud
denly arose.
"Why, Winchester" cried the gray
haired man and put out his hand.
This is pleasant surprise. Why
didn't you tell me he was here, En-
ily?"
who, papa?"
'Eh? Haven't you met him? This

sulting engineer. Winchester, my

at the old lady, She was laughing
merrily.-W. r. Rose in the Cleveland

Tho Innocent Young Thina.

The manufacturer of a moving pic
ture machine was explaining to a
group of acquaintances how he had OBJ
tanned a series of pictures showing a
celebrated massacre that had once
taken place at a western army post
in the days when Indian warfare was
a horrible reality instead Of an exhibit
on a Broadway stage.
"The commander Of the post" he
said, "had a detachment Of soldiers
and another of Indians re-enact the
scene for us, dressed exactly as in the
old days, so our machines could secure
every detail-the onslaught Of the In
dians, the defense by the white sol
diers, their massacre and the destruc-
ton of the fort"
"It may be very interesting" said
the kindly citizen, 'but l should not
care to see 1t in even a picture"
The sweet young thing listened with
wide eyes.
"And did they really kill the white
soldiers for you?" she asked, breath
less.-New York Press.

ing small WASTED. Tight lacing is car
ried on to an extraordinary extent, and
the waist is compressed by force until
one would think that the owner could
hardly breathe. Yet in this confined
state the women will plunge into the
widest of Hungarian dances, known
as the czardas, and prance frantically
like ballet dancersR,until at the end
they sink, gasplng, exhausted and well
nigh suffocated. on a sofa. AS they
grow older most of these slim beauties
become enormously stout, and then
they are regarded as quite old. The
Hungarians, though they resemble the
Turks in many ways, have not the
Turkish admiration for fat women or
the English admiration for elderly
made up bellies. Hungary is a land OF
slim young women, and when they
lose their figure they lose their attrac-

Two Arctic Enemies.

Since the beginning of time there
probably has been enmity between the
polar bear and the walrus. Except for
the walrus, bruins reign over the arc
tic regions has been almost unchal-
lenged since the race Of mammoths
passed. All the hardy flesh eaters that
inhabit the bleak, unfertile northland
are his natural prey. But most Of all
he depends upon the seals and sea
lions for his food. There is only one
animal that is powerful enough to
defend itself and offspring against the
polar bears attack, the huge and cum
brous walrus, but its movements are
so slow and awkward when out OF
the water that often 1t Is impossible
for the bulky animal to retard the
swift attack and retreat of its smaller
opponent.-Frank Stick in st. Mich

NORTHWEST IS MECCA
OF AGR|CULTUR|STS

Seattle, Sept. 27.-"The exposition
has made possible such an interna-
tional live stock show for the north
west that it would not otherwise have
seen in twenty years"
Such were the enthusiastic words
OF Editor McKelvie of the Nebraska
Farmer, himself a prominent breed
er and judge of half a dozen inter-
national shows. He was shown the
buildings already being filled with eX-
hibits from the four corners of the
United States and from Canada, and
then was handed the program show
ing the thousands of entries of live
stock and poultry. This caused his
exclamation of unfeigned wonderment.
"The northwest will be heard of
agriculturally, and before many
moons" he added. "As a matter OF
fact you can already give the middle
west aces and spades in the dairying
industry. Your mild winters and the
much higher prices obtained for but
ter and cheese betokens your ulti-
mate supremacy"
Equally enthusiastic was Mr.. Nc
Kelvie over the northwest's prospects
for fine blooded stock. Again hi
based his prognostication on climatic
conditions and on the spirit of its peo
pie to want the best and to get it.
Your live-stick show, which l car
say unreservedly. is the most elabor
ate ever pulled off west of thk Mis'
sissippi, is a sample of what 1 NEAR

SORORITY GIRLS SAVE
HOUSE FROM FIRE

University of oregon, Eugene
Two plucky girls prevented destruc-
ton of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority
house by fire last night.
Just before the retiring hour dense
smoke began forcing its way through
the floors. Panic-stricken, all but
two of the young women fled to the
street. Mary Steiwer, a junior from
Fossil, and Anna McMicken, a fresh
man from Portland, gathered up their
skirts and descended into the base
ment to ascertain the cause of the
fire.
In a corner Of the basement a tub
filled with rags, left by painters, was
smoking like a full-fledged volcano
and the flames had already begun to
lick up the woodwork leading to the
first floor.
The plucky girls, without a mo-
ment's hesitation, carried the tub OF
oil-soaked and flaming rags from
the basement and out upon the lawn
BY this time firemen arrived and
quenched the flames in the base
ment.

CONDUCTOR FINDS GEM
CACHED IN KEYHOLE

Reno, Nev.-While examining a
lock of the door of a passenger coach
Thomas Conway, a passenger conduc-
tor on the Southern Pacific railroad,
found that some foreign substance
had clogged the keyhole in such a
manner that it was impossible to in
sert the key.
A close examination revealed a
glittering stone, which was at first
taken for fragment of glass which
had become imbedded in the lock
The lock was taken apart, and the
stone was picked out by the conduc-
tor and found to be an unset diamond
valued at $275. How the stone hap
pened to be deposited in this unusual
hiding place is mystery.
The theory has been advanced that
a member of a gang OF pickpockets,
after relieving a passenger Of the
stone. had feared detection, and each
ed the gem in the keyhole with the
intention Of returning for it later.
