English Wear Detachable Cuffs.

The Worcestershire sauce in half
of the "old English" restaurants is
Heinz. So far has the American in
vasion gone. All Englishmen who
have ever heard of America, and can
afford it, wear American shoes. All
English vaudevillians sing American
songs, picking out the worst infalli-
bly,. The American garter hugs the
slim legs of the nobility and gentry.
American wh:skey has begun to
trickle down their throats. Ameri-
can bathtubs have changed the Eng
lish bawth from an esoteric debauch
to genuine bout with soap and cur
rycomb. The trolley car, the type
writer, ragtime, the phonograph, the
incandescent light, detachable cuffs,
floating soap, the union suit, the sec
tional bookcase, the slot machine,
steam heat, the gas stove, the press
agent, the shoot-the-chutes, the fly
ing machine, graft, poker, condensed
milk, fake Pilsener, the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, the two-step,
the crayon portrait, the portrait, the
canned book review, the virtuous
chorus girl and the telephone-all
American inventions-ha been
adopted and naturalized by the Eng
lish. There are now, indeed, almost
as many telephones in London as in
Toledo, Ohio.
But don't mistake me; there is a
limit, and at times a sense of its
rigidity is pressing. In all London
you will not find single American
scent Cigar. In the whole of the
Strand and Fleet street, between Ira
falgar Square and Ludgate Circus,
there is but one tobacconist who sells
American plug tobacco. Search this
capital of the world from center to
perimeter and you will not find a
single bootblack who knows his busi-
ness, or a single barber who pene-
trates the true technique of the hot
towel, or single real first-class soda
fountain, or a single box of decent
matches, or a single corncob pipe, or
single bartender with enough pride

How a Moderate Income Goes,

New York Sun: The Chosen Peo-
pie of God were we'll able to pay a
tithe of 10 per cent, for they lived
in God-fearing age and were a
God-fearing people. Since that time
Diogenes had to search with a Ian
tern for an honest man.
Imagine a man with an income of
$4,000 year and upward, with a
plot of ground, ''place," in the sub
urbs, as is common all over the
United States. Suppose he overpays
for every commodity he purchases.
Suppose that merchants, down to the
milkman, have two prices, one for
him and one for the smaller house
holder. Suppose he pays his SER
wants, who also receive out of his in
come commission in the overcharge
of the merchants, pays once a legal
wage and once an illegal toll.
Suppose he pays an illegal toll to
the feedman, the gasoline man, the
veterinary surgeon, the cook, and to
heaven knows whom not! Then the
landowner will pay twice over, nev-
er receiving full value for his money.
If he keeps three servants the waste
in butter alone will amount to $1O0
year, the interest on two $1,000
bonds at 5 per cent. The actual
waste, deliberate throwing away,
hogging of food, damage and destruc-
tion to property and theft around a
place." not to mention around a
mans place of business, will amount
| to one-third of a mans income a
year. This is 3S 1-3 per cent taken
from man before he has had a
chance to make a free-will offering
to charity.
If after this shortage he gives an
additional 10 per cent to charity he
has been mulcted of As 1-3 per cent,
almost half of his income. Then a
tax is imposed, upon him by the state
for charity, and to all insult to in
jury the United States government
proposes to tax all ability that pro-
duces an income exceeding $4,000.
So that more than half of his labor
goes for nothing to his glorious coun-
try, whichever way you choose to
phrase it, Verify, the man of means
has not living chance. A man
must be poor or else very wealthy
in order to retain the reward of the
sweat of his brow or the creation of
his intellect. Sixty per cent of his
earnings is filched from him.

1NFoRMArIoN nIPoRTANT. lII, j
Exact Date of Veterans Birth Essen
tiaI.

II have received a number of in
quiries from comrades as to the
meaning of the inquiries sent out by
the pension bureau asking for the
exact date of their BIRTH" says the
adjutant of the klamath Falls post
in a communication in the klamath
Falls Northwestern. "The ascertain
ment of this fact was made necessary
by the passage of the automatic bill,
providing for the payment of in
creased pensions when the pensioner
arrives at the specified age.
Under the previous law the pen
sion rate was advanced upon appli-
cation by the pensioner when he ar
rived at 65, 20 or 70.
"Under the present law his pen
sion begins with the exact date upon
which he arrives at the age, and he
is entered upon the rolls for that ad-
vance without any action upon his
part. Therefore the pension bureau
has not only to know the year when
the pensioner becomes 81, 65, 20 or
rs, but it must know the day of the
month.
'All the certificates which are now
going out have the exact date upon
which the advance will begin. 1t is,
therefore, necessary to know the date
of birth positively.
"The muster rolls of the war de-
partment only have, as a rule, the
age of the soldier in round years.
Thus he is reported as IS, 10, 20,
ETC., according to the circumstances.
Pensioners will find it to their
interest to promptly answer the in
quiry which reaches them and fur
nish such evidence as they can as to
the precise date of their birth.
They have no need to fear. that
this is going to be used in any way
against them, but it will be greatly
to their advantage"

iiOh hH1eFiCdnS treat tne h1CnO
The United States is perhaps the
only country in the world in which
money, in itself, carries no public
honor with it, and in which even the
most lavish heaving of coins to the
rabble goes unrewarded. An English
Carnegie would have a seat in the
house of lords twenty years ago; a
French Rockefeller would have sport
ed the grand Gordon of the Legion of
Honor before he ever sported tou-
pee; a German Morgan could never
have escaped the Red Eagle and
privy council But in the United
States a great fortune is the most
effective of all bars to public dignity
and preferment, and even in private
respect. Our Ryans and Harrimans
are not idols but targets; the one
sure way to make a stir in politics is
to attack them successfully, or, fail
ing that, merely savagely. And our
spectacular philanthropists, our
Rockefellers, Carnegies and Sages
get only mocking for their philan-
thropy. They are public butts, fair
game for every wayside clown and
spellbinder. Imagine the roar that
would go up if it were proposed to
erect monument to one of them,
or to send him to congress or to
make him president.-H. l.. Mencken
