Very few passenger .used" the elevators, ,but it gave Jus sonTethlng to talk about on board ship-and it would ive us some thing te slow- about after we had re turned home. ,.,v Outside, of ithe cage stood a young German with a blond . norhDadour and a . jacket -that came, just below his shouldier blades. He- was so clean he looked, aa if he had been scrubbed wttb soap an then rubbed with holy stone. Every German menial on board seemed : to ' have two guiding . ambi tions in life. - One was to keen himself Immaculate and the otlrer was to grow u-shaped mustache, the same as the one worn' by the Kaiser. The boy In charge of the etevator would plead with people to get In and ride. Usually, unless she waylaid them, they would forget all about Uie new improvement and would run up and down stairs in the old-fashioned man ner instituted by Noah and imitated by Chlstopher Columbus. This boy leads a checkered carter on each voyage. When he departs from New ' York he .. is the elevator Doy. As th vessel aprroaches Ply mouth, England, he becomes the lift attendant. At Cherbounc he Is trans formed into a garcon d'ascenseur, and as the ship draws near Hamburg he is the Aufaugbtliueter, which is an aw ful thing to call a mere child. Goodness only knows what will be lihe ultimate result of nresent compe tition between ocean liners. As our 1 coMrvAMEd .10 boat was quite- new and extravagant ly up-to-date, perhaps - some informa tion concerning it will b of -interest, wen to those old and 'hardened travel lers who have been across-' so often that they no longer set down the run of the ship and have ceased senU,ng ptetorlal post cards to thAf friends at home. In th. first place, a telephone In every room; connected with a central station. The passengers never use it because when he Is a thousand miles from shore there is no. one to be called up, and If tie needs the steward he pushes a button. But it is there a real German telephone, shawd like a broken preteel, and any one who has telephone In his room feeds that be is getting something for Ms money, ;)w'' i'V?? t?k ?".V 'flU . v AMsir- . "Ill . After two or three lessons any Amercan can use a foreign telephone. All he has to learn is which end tp put to his ear and how to keep two or three springs pressed down all the time he is talking. In America he takes down the receiver and talks- In to the 'phone. Elsewhere he takes the entire telephone down from a, rack and holds It the same as a slide trom bone. In some of the cabins were electric hair curlers. A Cleveland man who wished to call up the adjoining cabin on the 'phone, Just to see if the thing would work, put the hair curler to his ear and begAn talking into the dyna mo. There was no response, so he pushed a button and nearly ruined his left ear. It was a natural mistake. In Europe anything attached to a wall is liable to be a telephone. dmcsme. esncsKs On the whole, I think . our telephone system is superior to that of - any for eign, cities. Our telephone girls have larger vocabularies, for one thing. In England the "hello," is never used When, an Englishman gathers up the ponderous contrivance and fits it against his head be asks: "Are you there 7" If the other man answers "No" that stops the whole conversa tion. Travelers throughout the . world should rise up and unite In a vote of thanks to whoever it was that abol isnea tne upper oertn in the newer boats. Mahomet's, coffin suspended In mid air must have been a cheery and satisfactory bunk compared with tne ordinary upper berth. Only a trained athlete can climb Into one of them. The wood work that you embrace and rub your legs against as you struggiea upward ; is very cuiu. nnen you iau into ithe .ciaeiy sneets you are only six Inches from the celling. In the ear ly morning the sailors scrub the deck Just overload, and you feel as if you were getting a shampoo. The aerial sarcophagus Is built deep. iiks a trougn, so mat tne prisoner cannot roll out during the night. It Is narrow, and the man who Is ad- aictea to tne naott of "spreading" feels as If he were tied hand and In nearly' all of the staterooms of the- new..' boat ;t here . were no ujjpef ucrin, biiu im mwer ones were wide and springy they were almost beds, and a bed on board ship U something that for years has . been. reserved, as the special luxury of themilllonaire; We really .. had1 on; board the "daily paper, "the gymnasium. -tths .. florist,' the bureau of Information,' the mani cure parlor and other adjuncts of sea going that would have bean regarded as fanciful dreams t ten - years ago.

The topmost deck was called the- "KatserV to Indicate that he ranked-next , to ah heavenly bodies- in general ImporUnce. i" The old names of .'upper -deck." "prome nade deck."

Ths new type "sr., SMmtr. i housed In and, steam heated and all the restaurant f far from the common hprde of the main dining saloon were attired to the limit. Tliti uvsual Hun garian orchestra' played hurrah music and what with the Swiss waiters and the candelabra, - the fresh caviar and other luxuries of .high living It was difficult for one to . realize that he was riding on the high seas at the most inclement season of the year. It was all Fifth avenue even to the check. On the steamer I met an old friend, Mr. Peasley, of Iowa. We first col lided in Europe In 1895, when both of us were over for the first time and were groping our way about t lie Con tinent and pretending to enjoy our selves. About the time I first encoun tered Mr. Peasley he had an exper ience which in all probability is with out parallel In human history. Some people to whom I have told the story frankly disbelieved it. but then they did not know Mr. Peasley. It is all very true, and It happened as follows: Mr. Peasley had been in Rotterdam for two days, and after galloping mad ly through churches, galleries and mu seums for eight hours a day he said that he had seen enough Dutch art to last him a million yeai-s, at a very conservative estimate, so he started for Brussels. He asked the proprie tor at the hotel at Rotterdam for the name of a good hotel in Hrussels ami the proprietor told him to go to th-5 Hotel VictoHa. He said it was a first class establishment and was run by his "brother-in-law. Every hotel keep er in Europe has a brother-in-law running a hotel In some other town. Mr. Peasley was loaded' to the train by watchful attendants, and as there were no Englishmen in the compart ment he succeeded in getting a good seat right by the window and did not have to ride backward. Very soon he became immersed in an American book. He read on and on, chapter af ter chapter, not heeding the ilight of time, 'until the train rolled into a caver nous train shed and was attacked by the usual energetic mob of porters and hotel runners. Mr. Peasley looked out and saw that they had ar rived at another large city. On the other side of the platform was a large and beautiful 'bus marked "Hotel Vic toria." Mr. Peasley shrieked for a porter and began dumping Gladstone bags, steamer rugs, cameras and other impedimenta out through the window. The man from the Victoria put these on top of the 'bus and In a few min utes Mr. Peasley was riding thmugh the tidy thoroughfares and throwing mental boquets at the street cleaning department. When he arrived at the .Victoria he was met by the proprietor, who wore the frock coat and whiskers which are the universal Insignia of hospitality. "Your brother-in-lawi In Rotterdam told me to come here and put up' with you," ' explained Mr.f Peaseley. "He tXTLMNCO MYdQEMB,TO ACEMTLEMAN rHOM SX JOB. MO90UP said you were runnmc a first 1 class place,- which means, s'pose,' first clans Tor this) country, if you fellows over here would vput in vStam heat ) and bathrooms and electric lisht and then give us something to eat In the bargain your hotels wouldn't be so had. I ad mire the stationery Iik your" writing rooms, and the regalia worn by. your waiters Is certainly all right, but that's About. ali i can say, for you." . " The proprietor smiled and' ,bowed and sold hsi hoped his brother-in-law In Rotterdam was In rood health and enjoying- prosperity, and Mr. Peasley said that he. personally, hd left With the brother-in-law. enough money to run ins notei tor another six months. edeker and very carefully read the In troductlon to Brussels. Then he stud led the map for a 'little while. He be lieved In getting -a good general idea of .t-ne lay of things before he tackiea a new town. He marked on the mai a few of the show places which seamed worth- while, and then he aaild out. waving aside the 'smirking guide who attempted to fawn, urmn hJm as he paused at the main entrance. Mr. Peaslev would have nothing to do with guides. He always said that the man who had to be led around by the halter would do better to stay right at home. It was a very busy afternoon for Mr. Peasley. At first he had some diffl culty In finding the places that were marked In red spots on the map. Thlis was because he had been holding the map upside down. By turning the map the other way and making due allow an re for the Inaccuracies to be ex pected In a book written by ignorant foreigners, the whole ground plan of the city straightened itself out. and he boldly went his way. He visited an ola cathedral and two art galleries, read ing long and scholarly comments on the more celebrated masterpieces. Some of the paintings were not prop erly labelled, but he knew that slip shod methods prevailed In Europe that a civilization which in on the downhill and about to plav out cannot be expected to breed a business-like ac curacy. He wrote marginal correc tions in his guide book and doctored up the map a little, several streets having been omitted, and returned to the hotel at dusk feeling very well re paid. From tine begin olg of his , tpur he had maintained that when man goes out and gets information or Im preslone of hta own unaided efforts he gets something that will abide with him and become a part of hlr lntellec tual and artistic fibre. That which Is ladled Into him by a verbose guide soon evaporates or oozes awav. At the table d'hote Mr. Peasley hah the good fortune to be seated next to an Englishman, to whom he addressed himself. The Englishman was not very communicative, but Mr. Peasle persevered. It was his theory that when one i traveling and meets a fel low Caucasian who Is shy or retlclent nr suspicious the thing to do Is to keep on talking to him until he feels quite at ease and the entente cordlale is fully established. So Mr. Peasley told the Englishman all about Iowa and said that It was "God's countrv." The Englishman fully agreed with him that le, If silent gives consent. There was a lull In the conversation and Mr. Peasley, seeking to give It a nw turn, sajd to his neighbor, "I like thlis town best of any I've .seen. Is -this your first visit to Brussels?" "I have never been to Brussels," re plied the Englishman. "That Is, never until this" " time,' suggested Mr. Peasley, "I'm In the same boat. Just landed - here to-day V;. I've heard f of it before; on account of the 'carpet' coming if rom here and of course, everyoouy Knows about Brus sels sprouts,, but I had no idea it was such a , big i place. "It's - bigger -than Kork' island and 'Davenport put to gether." , . ', V -v . The Englishman- began' to : move away, at the, same lime regarding the ,cnerrur, peasley with solemn woa uermsni. -inen irssaia:-" - t -, 'My dear in lam quite unable to ronow you.: wners da you tbink you are?" u v '. "Brussels It's in Belgium capital, iimi as Pea Moines In Iowa." ' . "My good mAfj,, you Are not In JBrus. scis. ,iou ara in Antwerp," - ' "Why. vi've been" All over "town to- day with a guide ' book, and"-He paused and a horrible suspicion set tied upon him. Arising from the table 110 -a uaiivu ' IA i iusi vumi vmivv -vn fronted the -manager. "What's the name of the town I'm In," he demanded. "Antwerp," replied the astonished manager. Mr. Peasley leaned against the wall and srasned "Well. I'll be!" he be gan, and then language failed him. "You said you had a biother-in-law In Rotterdam." he said, when he re covered his voice. "That is auite true." "And the Victoria Hotel is there one in Brussels and another in Ant werp?" . There Is a Victoria hotel In every city In the world. The Victoria hotel Is universal the same as Scotch whis key." ) "Am I now In Antwerp?" - "Most assuredly." Mr. Peasley went to his room. He did not dare to return and face the Englishman. Next day he proceeded to Brussels and found that he could work from the same guide book Just as successfuly as he had in Antwerp. When I met him on the steamer he said that during all of his travelB since 1895 he never had duplicated the re markable experience at Antwerp. As soon as he alights from a train he goes right up to some one and asks the name of the town. OBSERVATIONS. Written for The Observer. "The Confessions of a Trust Presi dent," will piobably be the next start ling announcement of some of our en terprising magazines. It is better to be sick once In a while than to become a slave to the health rules and then probably get sick Just as often anyway. The man who Is "from Missouri" of ten gets "shown" as per his request. There Is plenty of the sense of hu mor In the world out It refuses to come out for a chestnut. One would certainly lead a contra dictory sort of life if he attempted to follow out all of the "Don't" para graphs that are being ground out. Those who take pride In being dif ference from other people shouldn't flatter (themselves by thinking thatf non-resemblance is any proof of su periority. If the labor unions could get all that they demand the name borne by such organizations would undoubtedly be a misnomer. That woman Is to te pitied who Is led to the altar as a consolation prise. The difference between egotism and variety ssems to be principally a mat er of sex. They was some men ride hobbles puts the best speed records into "in nocuous desuetude." If optimism keeps on slinging mud at the pessimist there Is going to be at least one exception to the rule that everything has a bright side. The economical housewife might cut down the gas bill to a considerable ex tent by lighting her husband's breath when he comes home at night. The man who marries one woman Just to spite another Is taking his spite out of the wrong womau. If all the funny little stories that are published about the Senators and Rep resentatives are true, Congress must certainly be a formidable asembly ot wits. It Is sometimes a pretty good sign of one's approaching dissolution when he sees an automobile headed towards htm. In many Instances the man who Is not master of himself has a wife that is. That which appendicitis will not do for a person the treatment will. It's haid for a man to get his wish es In this world even if he only wants to be let alone. We will probably next be having correspondence schools that will teach a man how to run one of them for himself. When people hope for he best but expect the worst they are more apt to realize the expectation than the hope. The man who breaks into print be- for he Is twenty-five sometimes would like to take It all back before he has passed thirty . According to most "What to Eat" rules a person's palate Isn't to be be lieved on Us oath. It's bad enough to be compelled to pay for admission to see some plays without having, to scrap for the privi lege. ( As a rule It is the fellow that keeps "hanging on" that eventually gets the alrl. Ability Is often found so handicapped with indecision that it isn't worthy the name. For The Observer. TETE-A-TETE WITH NATURE.
