[Copyright. 18311, by Edgar \V. Nyeul
Last month another hollow English-
man with a diaeresis over hisname, hav-
zng filled himself full of American hospi-
tality and groceries, crossed the moaning
sea, and after having taken the long,
wet trail for home. he sat down and
wrotea piece for a magazine, which it is
safe to say was in very bad taste. But
we like fair playin America. and so it
was read here by several people. The
stray Englishman with dyspepsia. lmm

SEnVANTS‘ MANNERS ARE PECULIAR.
able but involuntary abstinence from
food and the sudden hospitality Of his
ill advised hosts. wrote what he evi-
dently deemed a scathing criticism of
certain social aspects Of American life.
drew hislpay for it and disappeared.
His name was Hamilton Aide.
He says among other things that the
“love of privacy, so prominent a feature
in the English character, is unknown
here, the privilege of exclusion so rigid-
ly enforced in the walls and fences of
our gardens, the closed doors of our
withdrawing rooms, 011 the first floor, is
rarely enforced here." But it is going
to be, Mr. Aide. We are going to be
more particular in the future. We are
getting acquainted with your methods,
and we shall be more careful in the years
to come.
If your nobility caniiot play a fair
game of cards of an evening or over-
come the pernicious ‘cO-respondent com-
plaint, what may we expect of one who
is not noble at all, and who visits in our
country only what is free, and who then
imagines he is familiar with American
society?
I do not know Mr. Aide very well, but
it has been my misfortune to cross his
plague stricken trail once or twice to
gnaw at the closely cropped herbage
among the hills where yet still lingered
the echo of his bray.
Judging by the sentiment expressed
by the low, coarse innkeepers along the
chicken feather trimmed orbit through
which he passed, it will be money in his
pocket if he will not come that way any
more. If he should, there are intima-
tions that a good recipe for removing
egg stains from wearing apparel will be
a great convenience to him on his steamer
ride home.
Mr. Aide. whose signature shows that
he neglected to put up his fly screens
until too late in the season, says that
manners among "servants of both sexes
are peculiar, as indeed they are in all
- the lower orders (if one may be allowed
such an expression about Americans)."‘
Judging from Mr. Aide’s familiarity
with American society. the article he
has Written should have been entitled.
“Some Aspects of Life Among Ameri-
can Servants." Then this gentle criti-
cism of mine would have been unneces-
sary and unwritten. '
“Dinners," he says. “as a rule, in pri-
vate houses. are less good and less well
served than I expected to find them.”
You will notice a great falling Off even
from this. Hamilton. if you will cOme
back here next season. There will be a
very noticeable flavor of pounded glass
in your pie, and every bed quilt in our
broad and beautiful land will contain a
little checkered sample of your loud and
vociferous panties pried from the un-
willing jaws of the household dog. .
“Some of the dishes are excellent,
but,” he adds, as he dips 'his trenchant
pen in the bluing bottle at his cozy little
hall bedroom in Whitechapel street.
“the prevalent taste for uncooking a- can-
'vasback duck generally renders that
admirable bird a. forbidden fruit to me."
But that is not what renders it “a for-
bidden fruit” to him at home.
The reason he does not keep his flabby
being continually upholstered with can-
vasback duck at home is probably the
same one that prompted him to have his
wine and the blacking of his boots
charged to Mrs. Stanley at San Jose,
Cal, in the spring of the present year of
our Lord and of the freedom of , the
United States from the rule of Great
Britain the one hundred and fifteenth.
Mr. A'i'dé accompanied Mrs. Stanley,
Mrs. Tennant and Captain J ephson to
San Jose, where he registered as “Mrs.
Stanley and party.” They stopped at the
Vendome, a. first class, tip top hotel,
which had preserved a blameless reputa-
tion up to that time. Mr. Aide, the new
Rudyard Kipling, who will doubtless
lecture here by and by, was asked to
register for the party, which he would
have done if he had ever traveled before.
He flew into a beastly passion and re-
fused to register or give names of any of
the party, insisting that it was a piece of
American importinence 011 the part of
the hotel that he never saw equaled.
He finally told how many rooms ’ they
wanted, to which he added a private
dining room.
Everything was ordered sent to the
dining rooms-wines, canvasback duck,
‘Dmu‘n
etc. In the morning the two gentlemen
left early. ,They paid their Own bills.
The clerk took their word for what was
theirs and what was not.
When Mrs. PStanley came to leave she

and had to pay for blacking the boots
Of this keen critic of American manners
and cookery, this able savant of British
cold victuals. this bright young hybrid
whose surprised and delighted third
stomach was tossed across the troubled
deep within the year now only half
.gone by.
That is the reason why Mrs. Tennant
afterward spoke so bitterly of her bill at
‘the Vendome. Her guest had “done her
up,” as we say here in America, especially
:among the lower classes, if one may
speak in that way here, and I think one
may if one pays one’s bills.
Hamilton suffered most severely in
the west. He found'no congenial society
there. all the Englishmen of “his stripe
having been hanged on their arrival, or
on most anything else in fact that came
. handy in a prairie country where timber
is rare and hard to get hold of.
He bears down especially hard on Col-
orado Springs and Denver. two of the
most delightful cities in the world, for I.
know, having visited Paris. London and
East'Saginaw within the past two years.
paying in y hotel bills and either black—
ing my own boots or gladly [sitting up
for it.
I call the attention of every crowned
head in Europe to the fact that while at
their tables I did not ask what was com--

them laid down. 1 am not regarded as
a. stickler for social high church or mon»
key_ business when I make :a formal call
on a monarch or a P. P. '0. call on roy~
alty, but when l cease to pay for the pol-
ish that gliiits and glitters on my bright
young bunions, or fork over my liquor
bills for a W. C. T. U. to 'put up for,
may my right hand cleave to the roof of
my mouth, and an incensed people play
shinney o’er my forgotten grave.
Mr. Aide did not like the “surprise
party” of the ranche out west.
like it less the next time he is invited.
Western people are informal, but their
hearts are warm. 'Theyzare hospitable
to a. degree that would naturally sur—
prise and unman a real man for the mo-
ment. It would not afiect Mr. Aide es-
pecially. however.
But the west hates .to have an honored
guest walk on its wishbone with Mexi-
can spurs. It feels hurt and resents it.
1 have lived nearly all .my life in the
west, and I say without fear of success-
ful contradiction that any man—I do
not refer now to Mr. Aide—who has
been the guest Of the west,:a.nd who then
seeks to earn eight dollars :and forty-five
cents by running down his host, is not
only a. cad and atriumphant ass, but he
is unworthy in every possible way on
earth, and totally disappointing except
in the way of stimulation to a tardy to-
mato crop.
After being a. guest in the American
“parlour” he turns ate-and seeks to be-
mire and =besmirch, by satire and such
things, the furniture and decorations of
his illguided hostess, whose error was in
not showing him to the sty and letting
him look over the album.
Possibly I may be charged with speak—
ing too directly on this subject, but it is
only my own «opinion. I do not hold the
paper responsible, and if Mr. Aide does
not like it he may readily reach me by
post.
He says we pronounce vase as we do
gaze. This is not true. I have not pro-
nounced it that way now for over a year.
Mr. Aidé is too severe on us. He saw
our beautiful scenery whenever the rail-
roads gave him passes, and he was en-
tertained by those who had never seen
that kind of fauna. before, and he went
home and tried to make a Rudyard Kip-
ling Of himself, thinking that he was a
critic when it was really colic that ailed
him.
He did not like it because our ladies
did not allow him to see them work.
This was in deference to him, for no one
ever saw him work. 119 says he pre-
sumes that ladies here do secretly work,
but he missed “the pleasant litter of em-
ployment. ” :‘
If he will come among us again at
some time in the future he will probably
notice the pleasant litter of employment,
and he will furnish the most of it himself.
Afterward a dejected Englishman may
be seen going home with his pancreas in
the morning paper. _ ~
He did not like our theaters; especially
those, 1 judge, who did not remember
him at the door, and who did not feel
like giving him a box because he con-

templated roasting the republic in a fu-
ture piece. ' He says that our comedies
and comic operas are bad and our taste
vitiated. “Vigorous horseplay, comic
songs, breakdowns and a. ‘funny man’
satisfy the American,” he says, and if
the lonesome managers of the dives who
gave the bright young snoozer passes do
not feel pleased with the above notice
they must be more careful in future re-
garding whom they admit.
He then turns his little dyeing and‘re-
pairing works on the press. “As a rule
the press,” he says,- “is utterly indiffer-
ent to the truth or falsehood of a. state-
ment,” and so on. “Every small town
has its paper (price 215d), and there are
many who read nothing but that paper
every day. Habituating the mind thus

to its morning mess of nastiness is a
great national misfortune.”
That is true, Hamilton. but it is not
so bad as to live in a town where the no-
bility do things so nasty that even the
London press dare not print them.
“As Americans. Mr. Aide, we have our
faults. We know it and we are trying
to do better. When the people of your
country were of our age they had not
yet begun to walk on their hind legs
steadily at all, and most of your titled
people were squealing in the branches
of the umbrageous forest.
We \know that we are still c'rude. One
of our greatest weaknesses consists in
being picked up and “done up" by every
imitation man who gets a letter of intro—
duction {from an English barber and
comes here with an appetite and a hat
box to frighten the food supply, founder
himself, write a piece and go home. We
have done that a good deal, and we
ought to know better; but we do not.
We go right 011 doing it, because we de—
sire to encourage foreign emigration.
But it is being overdone. We need a
change.
Therefore do not come again, Mr.
Aidé. for quite awhile. Stay at home
.and'prepare your affairs so that you may
. 'be ready whenever the tardy and over
worked fool killer of Great Britain gets
around your way.
Anything to Suit the Crowd.
There was a fellow over on \Vest Madi~
son street the other after afternoon.
. “Spelling books! ladies and gentle-
men!” he shouted, for a little crowd had
gathered. “This is a book for every one,
the book for everywhere, the book, the
book!"
He tossed it up in the air and caught it
as it fell; went on: “The book for every-
body, see? Encyclopedia of eighty pages
—recipes for every dish that was ever
cooked—all the new dishes that never
were cooked—formula for the toothache
—agreeable stories for Old women—a
treatise for young women on the art of
getting husbands—how to cure a soft
corn without amputation—how to plant
cabbages when the moon is not full——
how to breed rabbits—how to interpret
dreams—how to tell fortunes—how to
get a divorce—how to reckon up the in-
terest on a mortgage—the book for
everybody!”
And after all this “spiel” no one bought
a. book.
The fakir looked over the crowd with
disgust that could not be disguised.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he remarked,

parable book there is a blank page—for
those who cannot read!”—Chicago Trib-

“I do,” she answered, as she lay back
in his strohg arms. “But tell me, dear,
how you made your fortune.”
“That is easily done,” he replied gay-
ly. “After I left the house that night I
