AN AUSTRIAN’S
VIEW OF AMERICANS.
A Vienna newspaper,it seems,
has had sufficient enterprise to
send out a special correspondent
to the Louisiana Purchase Ex
position, and though it may not
appear altogether probable that
the journalist in question is fa
miliar with the works of Dick
ens, the conclusion is almost ir
resistable that he has taken the
English master’s “American
Notes” as the model for his let
ters from St. Louis.
A litile judicious criticism
now and then from outside
sources is by no means unde
sirable. We never see our
selves exactly as we are in our
mirrors, for the sides of the face
are transposed therein. But
that the Viennese correspond
ent has not grossly exaggerated
his impressions of the World’s
Fair, the efty in which it is lo
cated and the Americans whom
he saw, we are not prepared to
admit.
The male American in 1840
may have been an all-embracive
expectorator; that not one in
ten are such in 1904, is easily
demonstrable. Eaven Dickens
in his second visit to this coun
try more than thirty vears ago,
begged pardon for his previous
work and testified with admira
tion to the metamorphosis that
had taken place between his
trips.
Our friend from Vieuna must
have naturally gravitated to
companions aftei his own heart,
since he found all the men
slouchy, unshaven and negli
gently dressed. This very state
ment shows that he could not
have associate with nothing but
very second class individuals,
while this concluaion is empha
sized by his criticism of our
women. He allows that they
a'*e beautiful and exquisitely
dressed but “they all chew gum
and this appalling vice trans
forms these charming crea-

tures
There are women in America,
! some shop girls and a few oth
ers, who may chew gum, but
! the statement that “all” do so.
is in itself sufficient to show
that the Austrian journalist did
j not find his to ■> elevated
way an
j social plane.
Still it will do us no harm to
ponder the faults he discovers
in our national character as a
whole.—Ex.
Hammond, Ind., July 18.—
Two prostrations from heat
both resulting in death, were
reported here tonight. Fred
Sobieski, 9 years old, succumbed
while playing ball in the street.
Henry McKnight, 13 years of
age, was protrated while cross
ing a field.
Several horses dropped dead.
The shipment of melons and
pears will soon be a thiug of the
past at Cairo, the shippers ex
pect to about finish this week.
We a r e glad to know, that com
paratively speaking, the prices
have held up verv well all the
way through. Such crops are
beneficial to our se ction, as it
puts lots of loose money into
circulation.
Get busy and lets all pull to
gether for the upbuilding of
Cairo.
That was a creditable game of
ball playeb between our boys
and Thomasviiie.
Let every one give their sup
port to the “honorable body” and
we will have artesian water and
fire protection for the town.
His Way.
I would not like to say that he
Has never told the truth to me,
If not by actual intent,
He has, at least by accident.
He’s vivid of imagination
And somewhat loose in allegation.
His statements are sonetimes fal
lacious
And thus fall short of the vera
cious.
I will quite willingly believe
He has no purpose to deceive;
And yet it is unfortunate
That he will so exaggerate,
A thousand pities that he will tar
nish
The truth with such a coat of var
nish,
And make one feel a sort of bias
In favor of old Ananias.
Still we, of course, who know his
fault,
Can always use a pinch ot salt,
And nenety-nine per cent subtract
From anything he states for fact.
You understand, of course, that I
Don’t mean to say the man would
lie.
