BRIDE CAME FROM
SWITZERLAND
PRETTY RosALIE GLooR MARRiEs
HER OLD SWEETHEART At
WATERLOO.

Waterloo, Juno 9.-Four years ago
Joseph Herferle left his home town In
far off Switzerland to come to Ameri-
ca. The day of his parting was sad.
for behind him he left pretty Rosalie
Gloer, his boyhood sweetheart. Her
ferle promised to send for Resale just
wonderful America 1t would not be
long. Perhaps in year she would
receive the happy message. After
landing at New York, Heferle visited
many cities. Finally he came to Wa
terloo and occurring employment at his
chosen trade of cabinet maker has
worked and saved, always looking for
ward with longing to when he could
again be with Rosalie. At length the
BAN: book totalled the desired figure.
A letter with passage money went over
the seas to the little home town in
mountainous Switzerland and soon
Rosalie uloor was on her way to
America.
She arrived in Waterloo this week
and was taken by the happy Joseph
to Justice F. F. Knapp's office. Just
when everything was ready for the
ceremony it was discovered that the
bride-to-be could not speak English.
Justice Knapp feared to 60 on with the
ceremony and the beaming faces OF
the young couple changed to masks of
gloom. 1t was DR.. A. J. Mueller whose
versatility removed the obstacle of the
alien language. Miss Gloor could un-
derstand and speak German. So could
DR.. Mueller. Acting as interpreter,
the genial dentist extended his aid
and the ceremony went through with
out a hitch.

His condition was regarded by the

it was int,mated to him that II he had
any arrangements he desired to make
of his estate, it behooved him to get

was put as delicately as the physician
could phrase it, but Mr.. Miller instant

BRITIANS WANT
STATUE HERE
IF ONE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON
is TO BE ERECTED IN LONDON,
THEN WHY NOT ONE OF GLAD
STONE OVER HERE.
Special to The Journal.

New York, July 15.-W. T. Stead's
suggestion at the Fourth of July cele-
bration held in London last week under
the auspices Of American veterans Of
the civil war, now resident there, that
he would favor the erection of a statue
of George Washington in the English
capital, on the completion Of the peace
agreement pending between the two
countries, has been met with a counter
proposal to rear a statue of William
Ewart Gladstone or some other dis
tinguished and progressive son OF
Britain here.
In the past statues Of bronze and
stone have been erected in the public
parks of New York to foreigners who
have achieved big things in the world
of art and literature but to date they
are practically all Germans and
Frenchmen. No attempt has ever
been made to perpetuate the fame of a
British citizen in this way and until
now no suggestion to do so has ever
commanded public attention. Glad
stone was highly regarded in New York
and If the successful negotiations of
the new peace treaty. sponsored by
President Taft and Premier Asquith,
is to be celebrated on the other side
by the memorial to Washington, de-
scribed by Stead as "the greatest Eng
lishman of the 18th century" it will be
likely that the movement to recipro-
cate the friendly sentiment by a SINH
lar courtesy on this side will assume
concrete shape.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1911-07-16

always been one, and not because it's
a fad or custom. He says:
The writer has been riding upon the
street cars since the first day that one
was run on our streets. He has aver
aged perhaps two trips a day ever since
and has been in the habit OF looking
about him on his daily rides. One
habit, or custom, whichever you may
call it, that has come to him with his
southern ancestry and lifelong resi-
dence has been, to rise and offer a lady
his seat upon her entrance into a
crowded car in which there remains
no available seat. He had done this
many hundreds of times, to all kinds
and ages, southern and northern, do
nestle and foreign, and he intends to
continue to do it as long as he is able
to stand on his feet, If he Is beginning
to be laughed at by young America"
as belonging to a past age-and he
has. in all these years and out of these
hundreds Of instances, heard those
simple words, Thank you," just four
times. And of those four times the
thanks came once from a lady from the
north, once from one from the south
and twice from foreigners. Isn't there
a field for a domestic school Of polite
ness?
The Journal does not take stock in
the lack of chivalry manifest in the
men of the country, for it is a subject
governed altogether by the actions and
conduct of the women themselves. If
the women want to be looked up to by
the men it is within their power to
make the men do so, while on the other
hand if they expect this kind of treat
ment they must offer at least a word
of appreciation in return.
There are many little courtesies that
the men of twenty-five years ago
always showed the women and 1t is
the case today with some, but it is an
indisputable fact that. the average
woman of today does not command the
respect that the women Of twenty
years ago did.
The case with the Tampa editor is
noticed elsewhere. We have seen men
giving up their seats in cars and public
places, and were possibly disguised
with themselves a few minutes after,
for the women would accept the seats
without a grateful look, to say nothing
of a word of thanks.
