An American.

A native of any part of North or
South America is literally an Ameri-
can, since he is a native of one Of
the American continents Usage, how
ever, has narrowed the term so that
IAN American" is generally under
stood to be citizen or native of the
United States of America, while a
native of Canada, Mexico, Central or
South America is known as a Cana
dian." Mexican" Brazilian" "Guate-
malan," or the like. The reason for
the usage does not lie in any feeling
that the United States preempts,
stands for, or overshadows the other
parts Of the western hemisphere, but
simply in the fact that, while Can
ada, Mexico, Brazil, the United States
of Colombia, ETC., are words which
admit of adjective formation, "Ameri-
can" Is the only adjective which can
be formed from the name of our coun-

Friday, Sept. II, Travelling Mems Day

sun in the sky It's ignobleness is a
thing that haunts all who are subject
to it.
Whether the love of death as the
1eliverer in the spirit of Walt Whit
man is a passion to be cultivated may
be doubted. Those who have scorned
death most, as the great gentlemen of
the renaissance did, saw it none the
less the destroyer of the beauty of
mems bodies and of the light of the
world as the common man knows it.
To the religious mind, which accepts
the vision of a real and populated
world happier than this beyond the
grave, death is no doubt the deliverer.
But even to most religious men this
world has gathered about it all the
dearness of home; death, at it's best,
Is an exile, a desertion. They have
the bravery to die; but their bravery
has the sadness Of Hector's. And yet,
as with Hector, some instinct drives
them to despise this death of the body,
to accept this exile as more to be de-
sired than safety and a mans own
hearth and children
Christian, pagan, and atheist are at
one in this. They feel that the life of
the body itself can be fully enjoyed
only when the fear of those that kill
the body has been utterly overcome

Wise Precaution.

Very few people are ambidextrous;
that Is, able to use the left hand as
readily and skillfully as the right.
But there is an amusing story Of one
irishman who was careful to cultivate
that art. When he was signing ar
ticles on board a ship he began to sign
his name with his right hand, and
then changed the pen to his left hand,
and finished it.
$50 you can write with either hand,
Pat?" asked the officer.
''Yis, SOFT" replied Pat. "Whin l
was buoy me father crest his soulD
always said to me, Pat, learn to cut
yer finger nails wild yer left hand, for
some day We might lose yer right!"-
