11 TYPICAL AMERICAN
By F. A, MITCH EL.
Copyright, 1909, by American 1'resa Asso

L.bea Blackburn when be went to
Puris wub recognized by every one
us a typical American of that class
whose motto Is, "Every tub on Its own
bottom.' Be not ouly considered ev
ery oue beneath Iilin. but every oue
above him, his equal. No spirit of ar
rogance prompted him lo set himself
up above the former, nor did nuy false
modesty lend him to shun the latter,
He was as free with the one as with
the other. The result was that he was
popular with nil.
tsiiicKuurn iiuu risen in bis own
coutitry frompeddlliig farmers house
bold necessities in a big red wagon to
managing director In a large 'manu
facturing company. At thirty-Are he
bud made money enough to enable hlni
to see the world, and he saw it. He
liked Paris and stayed there long
enough to learn to converse, after a
fashion. In the French language, and
became interested In French society.
Not being afraid of appearing at a
disadvantage among the better classes.
be walked in among them as if no one
lind a better right and remained there
because they rather liked hi in. "What
charming effrontery!" they exclaimed.
what droll humor: No one but an
American could thus disregard our con
ventionalities and be tolerated among
us."
But one niorulng Blackburn left
Paris, followed by the maledictions
of a select circle of French men and
women who had takeu him up t lint
is, he would have been thus followed
had they known where be bad gone.
There were others, who knew the cause
of the reversnl of feeling toward bira,
me corners or wnose lips curved in a
polite satirical French smile... This Is
the way It came about:
Blackburn gave a dinner to the set
who had discovered in him such pi
quant American traits. . Some evil
minded persons hinted that the reason
they fancied lilm was Ills dinners nnd
his theater parties, but this uever came
to the ears of any of the circle. The
French are too polite lo Impugn auy
one's motives to one's face. Blnckburu
had discovered In Paris an Amerieau
scientist whom he had long before
hired to make some Investigations for
him In a process of manufacture and
Invited him to the dinner. The scien
tist tried to beg off on the plea that
he had no evening dress. Blackburn
Insisted, and the guest appeared In a
pepper and salt suit.
Not even French politeness could
keep the company from turning a cold
shoulder to the scientist. The poor
man endured the trentnient till It be
came unbearable, then excused him
self. For a few minutes after his de
parture there was nn embarrassing
silence, when Blackburn Raid:
"In passing your lintel de Vllle to
day I noticed the Inscription. 'Liberty.
Equnllty and Fraternity. You talk of
equality In France, but you don't know
the word's mooning. In America we
don't try to tackle any one of these
words except liberty. 'We never prate
about equnllty. lint we don't Judge a
man by his clothes."
Having thus expressed himself, the
liost turned the topic of conversation
and. Instead of permitting them to fall
luto a bad humor with him. kept them
well entertained nnd Invited them to
another dinner to be plven two weeks
hence, when he promised to present a
friend whom he was sure they would
like. All accepted, and the party broke
up with much gnyety.
When a fortnight bird pnssed'they re
assembled' to admire, the American's
originality, eat his viands aud drink
his wines. .He presented to them M.
de rierres, a Frenchman like them
selves, who was faultlessly dressed,
whose hair had been treated with curl
ing tongs and whose mustache was
carefully waxed. M. de rierres was
not a communicative man Indeed, his
conversation was confined to "yes" and
'no." But sluce his dress indicated
that he was a gentleman he was treat
ed by the other guests with scrupulous
politeness. ,
The only time during the dinner
that M. de Plerres used any words.
excepting such as were monosyllables.
was when the conversation turned up
on soldiers meeting death on the field
of battle.' "That is not meeting death
at all." said he. "It Is bring over
taken by death and cut down without
realizing Its pretterice. It Is another
mutter when one's ending has beeu
ppolnted lo take place at a certain
hour, of which he Is cognizant, or when
he Is awakened at midnight from
sleep and led to meet the antagonist
whom he knows shall vanquish hi mi."
