RIGID HONESTY IN ENGLAND
According to American Traveller, All
People in That Country Are
Considered Trustworthy

London specifically and England
generally are undoubtedly the most
rigidly, thoughtlessly, automatically
honest city and country | have ever
discovered. The first taxicab driver
I hired told me honestly the correct
tip. So did the first hotel porter.
The other day | wanted an opera
glass with which to pay more particu-
lar attention to some healthy young
women the Londoners firmly believe
are stage beauties. So | dropped
sixpence in the slot. Imagine my sur
prise when the machine opened and
I found pair of $40 glasses-wfth-
out chain-offered to my hand.
In New York they not only chain
the opera glasses, but they do every
thing but put bells and whistle on
them
When you go travelling in England
you first buy ticket. Then you get
into the carriage of the class for
which you have purchased that ticket,
and ride until you reach your destina-
ton Then, if that happens to be
small station you get out Of the car
riage and hunt about until you find
the man who ought to take 1t.
In the meantime it Is assumed that
you did not go into a first-clasS car
,riage, having bought third-class tick
ct No one comes to bother you about
it, 1t Is merely accepted by all con-
cerned that you will take the compart-
ment to which your ticket entities
you.
Two weeks ago the London papers
made a sensatiOn-so far as they are
journalistically able to make Sensa-
ton out of anything-Out Of the fact
that some one had persistently trav-
eled on a time-expired commuters
ticket
No action was taken until he had
been caught at it three times, because
the assumption was that he had made
a mistake and would be frightfully put
out when he discovered that he had
picked up last months ticket when he
left home.
When he was finally summonsed he
said that he didn't do 1t-that 1t was
a case of mistaken identity-and every
one seemed happy to accept that ex-
PLANTATION.
In the restaurants you help your
self to rolls and pastry and pay on
your own tally. Notorious conductors
always give you the right change.
Country gentlemen imbed broken
glass In the mortar on top of the
walls that surround their estates.
Then they leave the garden doors un-
locked, secure that no one will at
tempt to enter. The glass is intended
merely to emphasize their desire for
privacy.
During warm weather housekeepers
in London leave their front doors
open, and depend upon curtain to
keep prying eyes out. They do not
seem to fear that prying persons
might get hrough.-Exchange

American Corn at a French Palace.

Apropos of the visions of the second
empire evoked by the visit of the for
mer Empress Eugene to Fontaine-
bleau, Madame de Hegermann-Linden
crone, author of "In the Courts of
Memory" relates an interesting ac-
count of her own gala visit to that
palace. AS the empress had expressed
a wish to taste American corn,
Madame de Hegermann brought some
with her and tried to explain to the
palace chef how to cook ten robe
de chambre" But when 1t appeared
it was still in husk and silk Il tried"
she says, Ito make it less objection

and salt, and it was passed about;

liked it very much; but the empress
pushed her plate aside with grimace,
saying, L don't like it; it smells like
a baby's fiannels' The emperor, see
ing the crushed look on my face,
raised his glass and said with a kind
glance at me, Here's to the Ameri

He Is good hitter. steady fielder and fast on his feet This will not be Bells first engagement as he has played in the South eastern, Ohio State and several other minor leagues during the past few years. Bell has only one main fault. and that is he will not take baseball seriously, It is
