H ABSTRACTERS H

Rate I

OrigiaaL America is far from Europe, and the poorer classes know very little about the western continent "When I was a boy I was one morning at the Hotel des InvaMes, in Paris, with my father. He was speaking in French with a pensioner. Presently my father burst into a laugh. I asked him what he was laughing at He said that he had told the Frenchman that he was an American. "No," replied the old

soldier; "Americans are all black." Some years ago an American wild west show visited Budapest. There were the usual fusillades, individual shootings and stagecoach robberies. The people who saw them got an idea that all Americans shot, and shot to

kill, on the slightest provocation. I spent a few days at the place soon afterthe show had passed on, registering from my home, Toledo, O. The day after my arrival I saw some citizens over the register debating in an excited fashion about just where in America Toledo was, whether it was on the Atlantic or Pacific coast, one man declaring that it was in the

Allegheny mountains, the region of the

fiercest tribes of cowboys. Suddenly catching sight of me, they scattered like a flock of birds among which a

stone had been thrown.

The same evening I attended a performance in a music ball. A little, deformed girl, with pale cheeks and great, flaring black eyes, was selling programmes. A waiter moving across

the floor with half a dozen glasses of beer poised on a tray above his head,

not seeing the child, ran her down

The six glasses of beer went crashing on the floor, and the waiter fell on the girl. As she and he rose in his irrita

tion he gave her a cuff, saying, "Take

that for getting in my way." Now, I am a mild mannered, peace

ful man, nothing of a knight errant, but

I thought the waiter should be reproved for giving way to his temper and the little girl given a tip to make up for the blow she had received, so I

said: "Walter, you had no business to

strike the child in that manner. The accident was your fault. You should

have looked about you to see if anybody was In your way."

As I spoke I put my hand to my hip

pocket to get out my portemonnaie.

which I always carry there, to give the

little programme seller a coin.

The noise of the fall had attracted

the attention of every one in the hall.

All eyes were upon the waiter, the girl

and me. As I spoke those farthest away from me got on chairs to see what I was going to do. I had been pointed out to many of them as an American, and as they saw that I was

displeased at the waiter they consldered him in imminent danger. When I I put my hand to my hip pocket there was the most remarkable commotion 1 have ever had the honor to occasion. Indeed, it is the only glittering spot in my otherwise uneventful life. There was a wild scramble at the tables nearest me to get out of the way. The men knocked ' over the chairs, jumped across tables; the women shrieked; the children (they take their children to such places abroad) cried. Those nearest the door blocked the opening In a vain effort to get out all at once. I had my eye on the poor little programme girl and to prevent

her being trampled upon put an arm about her to protect her.

The manager came fighting his way

toward me and when he got near enough shouted to me: "Do not shoot.

Everything you require shall be done. What will appease you?"

It suddenly occurred to me to turn

the score to account for the little programme girl.

"I'm not going to kill any one," I said, "butI have a suggestion to make. Let us take up a collection for this

poor little girl, who received a cuff she

did not deserve." I had my portemonnaie, not a revolv

er, in my hand and, opening it, took out a bill, dropped it in my hat and gave it

to the manager. He stood on a chair

and as soon as he could make himself heard said: "The American will not fight If we take up a collection for the programme girl. Let us ransom Carl Steffcns, the waiter who offended him. Carl is a poor man and has a large family." With that be went around with the hat. Every person In the assembly

considered that he was bound to dis

gorge as he had seen stagecoach pas

sengers disgorge to road agents in the wild west show. When the hat came back it was brimful of bills and coins. The manager handed it to me, and, pouring its contents Into my handkerchief, I handed It to the child. The manager got on a table and cried: "The American 1 appeased. Now go quietly to your homes." The people shrank away that is,

those who were left, for a goodly number had departed by the door and win

dows. Some who had to pass me looked at me with timid curiosity and when they were obliged to present their backs to me hurried out as If afraid to trust me behind them. When they had all gone except the landlord he bowed very low and said to me: "When may I reassure our people that your excellency has departed?" To assume such a commanding position by striking a people with terror even In so ridiculous a manner has Its effect. I confess myself affected by It. I could fancy how it was that even the great Napoleon got the big head. "You may tell them," I said "that I am much pleased with their generosity. leave bv the train tonight." GEORGE DISNEY MILLS.

Why Liquors Froth. When liquors are bottled they con

tain a certain amount of sugar, which

ferments through the action of min

ute pores or cells.. These break, the

sugar up into liquid and carbonic acid

gas when the cork is withdrawn and

instantly makes its escape and, rising

in bubbles, produces effervescence and

froth.

Up to Date in Agriculture. However conservative the farmer is about his politics and his religion and his views on morality, he has rid himself of most of his old-time fixed ideas about agriculture and is leading the professional state experimentalists in the search for new methods. Toledo Blade.

An Indian Alphabet. The Cherokees probably rank the highest in the Indian tribes. They were originally one of the five nations on the Atlantic coast but were transferred to the west of the Mississippi. A full-blooded member of that tribe, Sequoi, invented an alphabet for his people in 1824.

Potato Spontaneous in Cnne. The potato, which was already cultivated in America when the continent was discovered, i3 spontaneous in Chile. It was introduced to Europe in 1580 and 155 by the Spaniards, and almost at the same time by the English, who brought it from Virginia, where it had appeared about 1550. -
