THE CITIZEN', FRIDAY, SEPT. 3, 1000. COLOMBIAN ETIQUETTE. THE EXPECTANT HAND. Demands That Persons Shake Hands and Ask Many Questions. It was tho third or fourth day out from Santa Marta, Colombia, and early In tho morning, when one of the South American passengers came on deck. Another South American arose from his deck chair, extended his hand and as the men shook hands In quired after tho health of the new comer, his wife and his children. As they had parted company only about eight hours before In the smok ing room, this seemed like unneces sary courtesy. The observer no ticed that this happened In tho cafeo of all the Colombians on board, so ho asked one man about It. "It Is a custom of tho country," said he. "On the occasion of meeting a person for the first time each day It Is etiquette to shako hands and to make Inquiries about the health of the person so greeted and of his rela tives. It would not be considered po lite to do otherwise." Continuing, this man told of taking a walk one day In Bogota with a mer chant of tho place. They were bent on business and wore to cover a dis tance that might he made rather easily in ten minutes. JJocimso of the necessary stops to make the custo mary inquiries anil to shake hands with friends of t'.'u merchant, tho trip took near' an hour. A Mcqul Rsrartce.

I trotted along briskly, roused Mr. Urevoort from a nap, stated my case, found no demur, and got tho Indian hemp, which he dug up with his own hands. "How much am I to pay?" 1 ques tioned. "I never Fella it," Mr. Urevoort re plied, "because if I ta1:es money for Indian hen.:-. ;t v.i lU-ns the vartoo." 1 mated thai I m'.- ordered to pay, and we dha nr. ,1 the matter, walking arro.su the cuile" toward the gig, which I had le.'t on Broadway.

It is strange how many golfers there aie who fail to appreciate tho great etfect the diiisiiy of atmosphere has on the tlmht of a golf ball. On a still, misty day the ball Hies about live yards to ten yards less than it does when the wind blows from the oppo site and more acceptable quarter., Tho writer was fortunate, or un fortunate, enough to play many rounds a few years ago on the Johan nesburg South Africa. These links are situated some 0,000 feet above sea level and the air is wonder fully rarefied. The hall consequently Hew the most surprising distance: as proof of this the winner of a driving competition sent a ball a carry of t!"S yard", the second player returning the modest distance of Tl?, yards. Yet neither of thce two players could ap proach tho driving capabilities of good amateur golfers. A GcoJ Suggestion.

I had unlocked tho door of my state room, leaving tho key in tho lock, and had gone for my luggage. Then a business friend had delayed me and we were well down In the harbor be- 1 fore I returned to my room. Some- 1 ono had been before me and taken possession. A bag had been opened nnd various articles lay scattered 1 about in the lower berth. But what j caught my eye specially was tho green I kimono hanging in the fresh softness I against the white wall. It was tho j prettiest thing I ever saw and hold mo with a strange fascination. There were no signs of mascullno belong- ' Ings and In a sudden panic lest tho j occupant should return and catch mo the key being still In tho door, she couldn't bo fur away I quickly and discreetly withdrew. Upon applica tion to the purser I was assigned to the next stateroom and tho episode left my mind. Tho next morning about 4 o'clock my peaceful slumber was disturbed I by a cessation of the soothing j recking of my berth, and tho smooth 1 gliding of the steamer that precedes j the gentle bump against the wharf. A sudden ripple of girlish laughter outside my window attracted my re lmt.iiit uttcnik'ti. and a pretty voice i ciM'd out: "(!ie my love to the peo- ! pli at Bar Harbor." Shrill replies, a.iiigled with t'ue rumble and rattle ' of the unloading of ireiglit, Hunted up. Then In the lull I heard a gay ! vo'c fiom the v-h'trl': "This Is early for green up; '. i;,ite. and kilo for !.',,,......,., " 1-1. ..o lmnrli A ,11.,, it'll I picture of the green kimono Hashed j before me. "It's a beauty," came . the olce aga'n; and 1 sat up. "Did ' you make II?" "rii-uh," came the reply from nearb;. . "I'll give you tho t pattern. The sill: .van n mark-down; , that's how I happined to get green." I More laughter, 1 was throwing on my clothes In reikles haste, and while the gay bad!t. w.is still going on pu.-hed back t t.v hiiad and put out in;- head. Loaning from the window of ,.ie nei stateroom was a charming pi.'l. with bright golden Hair nnd clad In a green kimono. Our eyes met and the vision vanished precipitately. The girls on the wharf, giggling with rog':!:-h glee, wawd shrill good-byes ni.il vanished il.'u. 1 was interested in my fair neigh bor and resolved to catch a glimpse of her when i-h" eame out. But a man rat's: car, and assuring myself that I shoald readily recognize her among the other pas.iengers I risked leaving my post to eo to breakfast. But she piobably disguised herself in one of those envoioi ing veils, and I reached my port witno'ii Having seen ner again. Many times before my homeward trip a picture of tho golden-haired girl in the green kimono rose up with curi ous persistence. Tho evening I board ed tiie boat to return homo was a dls agreable one. There was a thick fog and a miserable drizzle had set in. The fog horn kept up an incessant blowing, a menace to sleep, so I sat In the brightly lighted saloon reading till after midnight and then fell into a doze. Sudd, -iv there was a tor riile .diock r.hich threw mo from my chair. We had collided with some thing. I rushed on deck with the other passengers who were spending the night in their chairs. We learned that wo were badly damaged, and soon a shrieking, lrigluened crowd of half-clad passengers poured out into the wet night. With others I helped to calm them. Preparations for low ering the boats wore being made. Fortunately there was a light crowd aboard, for it was evident that the steamer couldn't keep afloat long. Our safety lay in getting the passengers onto tho other boat, which was report ed but slightly damaged. I saw two boatloads of womeu and children safely embark when, turning to the cabin I caus'. t a glimpse of apple green and white In the doorway. It was the girl I had noticed ou my last trip. Over the gieon kimono she wore a gray serge coat, evidently be longing to her traveling suit and whol ly inadequate to protect her from the cold and wet. She wan leaning heavily upon the arm of a steward. I sprang forward. "I will take care of this lady," I said to the steward. "You go and help tho others." Tho girl clung trustfully to my arm. "Sho was thrown from tho upper berth and l injured," said the stew ard; "I'm glad she has found you. Sho thought her friends had deserted her." Then he hurriedly loft us. "1 think my ankle must bo broken," aid tho girl with a weak smilo; then, in tin effort to bear her weight upon the Injured toot, fell fainting in my arms. Taking o-rf my overcoat I wrapped It about her and lay her .enily upon the floor of tho saloon i i-ir tho door, kei ping g.iard over i r. It was a night long to bo reinciu-in-:ed. Tho niquainlniues of tho girl .u tthot'o company she vas traveling inn! lett on one of tho llrst boats, and the pleasant duty of protecting her ii vetved upon mo. I allowed no ono li. t myself to touch lur. und after "i e regained consciousness I carried , , down the swayln,; ladder of tho ' '.ii.g w M-i'iT and up tho sides of i ... other ll'i..t to suiety.
