Very few persons outside of the glittering circle of our enormously rich families, who constitute what is referred to as "the best society," can understand how any young woman in this or any other country can spend on her wardrobe such a amount of money as beyond that the daughters of some of these families. The history of the world does not show such reckless extravagance in the way of dress. Nor, for the matter of that, does the history of the 'world show so riotous a use of money as that practiced by our very rich in their strictly social divertisms. Happy is the lot of the man or woman who is not tempted to such foolish indulgences, which take the edge from life's real joy! Fled from Gas. "I had a friend," said the bearded man, "who got out of paying a bill he owed in an original way. When the collector arrived he sent word to him that he would see him in a few minutes. Then he went into the parlor, shut the doors carefully, turned on every blessed burner in the chandelier, came quickly out, and had his camera out. The parlor he hurried upstairs. Do you think that collector waited a few minutes for him to come down? Not on your photograph. He fled from that gas filled room in about two seconds by the clock. If he had stayed three he'd have been suffocated." Good Enough for the Dog. Bobby's mother was often distressed by her small son's laps from correct speech, all the more because his reports from school were always good. "Bobby," she said, plaintively, one day, "way do you keep telling Major to 'set up' when you know sit up' is you should sit up." Bobby had hardened, "of course I have lots of grammar, but I don't like to waste it on Mabie, when he doesn't know the difference, being a dog." "Youth's Companion." Speaking of Fathers Two kids had been engaged in a heated argument over the respective merits of their sires, when Johnnie clinched his argument with the following: "Huh, that's nothing! My father was in the army, and once, when he was standing on a hill beside a cannon, a war came up the hill, and be fired the cannon and killed the whole war."—Judge's Library. Hope. "Woman is naturally more hopeful than man," began the moralist. "Yes," interrupted the plain man. "There's my wife, for instance; every time she has had occasion to buy fish since we started housekeeping she has asked her dealer if they were fresh, hoping, suppose, that some day he'll say no." Each to His Trade. "I'm more useful than you are," posted the colle. "Yes?" replied the bulldog. "You don't say?" "Yes. You should see me go for the sheep when they start to run away." "Well, wait until some tramps come here and when they start to run way watch me go for the calves." Turkish War Expenses.

A collector in this city paid the other day $275 for a Chippdale armchair, Chairs of less unusual pattern are very few of which cost $26 and $100. New York letter. A Woman Without Home Duties. A woman who has no home duties, or who does not attend to such duties, is a pest to her acquaintances. It may take her a long time to make her breakfast tea, but her outside garments once decided to make a morning or afternoon call. She will not work, and the will not let her neighbors work. Her acquaintances are kept in a state of chronic discomfort in the expectation of a visit, and a door-bell in her vicinity cannot ring without striking terror to the heart of the lady of the house. A call from this idle person means simply loss of time without the slightest compensation. The work in the kitchen or the nursery must be abandoned, and this means, with practical, conscientious housekeepers, not only a giving up of the work for the time, but for a considerable time. The work planned for that day, and outted for that day, means overwork at another time, confusion and anxiety. What can be more exasperating than to be compelled to entertain an idle person to the neglect of necessary duties? It occasionally is all the antagonism and latent unness in one's nature. Hands and brain are all ready for the work which has been deferred for this time. "When will she go?" the spirit keeps asking. "If she will only go now I can rush through with the work, and the morning will not be a lost one." But the visitor does not go. In fact, it is a rare thing for this particular kind of caller to take leave until the utmost limit of time is reached, as well as the utmost limit of her hostess's patience. So, declares the New York Weekly, sensible ladies protect themselves by feeling at liberty to report that they are engaged when the idle woman thrusts her company upon people who do not admire her or her conversation. Department Store at Close Range. Because it is volume of business that counts, every department store, of course, tries to keep stock as low as possible. Everything must be kept moving. Under the old system a store would buy a whole year's supply of staples and a season's supply of other goods. But it is not so now, and the modern method throws upon the shoulders of manufacturer and wholesaler the risks that formerly were assumed by the retail store, to the grave disorganization of the business of those who supply the big stores. Most women know that as a rule the things offered in bargain sales are sold below the actual cost of manufacture, say Harley Davis in Everybody's. Now the bargain sale is popularly supposed to serve a double purpose—to attract people to the store and to get rid of old goods. The first proposition is always true, while the latter applies to only about one-tenth of the bargain sales. The manufacturer stands the loss, for there is a very considerable loss, of the other nine-tenths. It is axiomatic among the department store owners that there is always a manufacturer who is willing to sell some of his output at a great sacrifice. It may be because he finds himself stocked with goods for which there is no demand at the prices for which they were made to sell; oftener, he is hard pressed for ready money. But what the cause, the result is a bargain sale in a department store. And in all cases, except the one bargain sale in ten, by which the store is getting rid of its own goods that haven't been sold, the establishment makes its regular standard profit. It is stated that English scientists are giving Lowell observatory credit for establishing the existence of artificial canals on Mars, and English physicians and artists are endorsing Prof. Starr's theory that children should go naked for ten years or so. Thanks, awfully; but America in general would prefer credit for the Panama canal and its unrivaled lines of children's clothing, both of which are better suited to plain, everyday navigation than the ideas advanced in England. America has some brilliant thinkers, but its long suit is common sense. A former famous football player of Princeton proposes to go down to Central America and take a hand in the political game there. He probably thinks that after several campaigns on college football fields a life scrimage like a Latin-American revolution will be hardly worth mentioning. A St. Louis man had his head shaved and his wife told him that he doesn't come home. If a determined woman is not to have her favorite exercise of hauling man about by the hair what possible use can she have for the masculine animal? Thirty cents is the amount at which a Chicago judge valued a woman's broken heart in a breach of promise suit recently. At this rate it is more profitable to get an arm broken in a streetcar accident. That Denver man who says that his aliphah will go from New York to Chicago in three hours evidently doesn't fear that he will encounter speed ordinances projecting upward from the villages over which he fares. A girl in London has developed ten different distract personalities. If that girl were only a man and over here, how invaluable the owner C* such a peculiarity would prove in a close election. IN ONE YEAR CLEARS $1,01,021 ON $2,228,755 INVESTMENT. Attorneys Say that Some Profits Have Been Twenty Times Actual Cost of Operation. New York, Sept. 27.—The Indiana Pipe Line company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil, made a profit of $4,091,022 in 1863 on a total investment of $2,228,758, according to the company's figures produced by George Chebeshe, controller of the National Pipe Line company, which appeared as a contributor in the federal suit against the oil combine.

Folger, JR., owns the Corsicana Refining company of Texas, under examination yesterday stated that the tanks and receiving vessels of the New York Transit company were called the National Transit company of New Jersey, and that the terminals of the pipe lines of the National Transit company at Centre Bridge, Penna, and Fond Grove, Penna, were built the year the Hepburn law went into of Mr. Payne was stating that he supposed there was some legal reason for building these receiving stations on the state line between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and Maryland, when John G.

FISH BACK AT HARAHAN Charges Are Old, Asserts Fighting Former President New York, Sept. 27 - Stuyvesant Fish is still on the job. Last evening he made public a reply to the circular letter sent out on Tuesday last by President Harahan who declared that the charges made by Mr. Harahan were not new, but had been published long ago and "can met by me and disposed of," he said on one of the statements decided by the stockholders of the Illinois Central at the coming annual meeting is nowhere touched upon," said Mr. Fish.

MILAN BOST MILA TO MEXICO TO MANILA TO CERULEK, IA CHYMGO ATTER-OCEAN MAY EXTEND WIRE STRIKE MAY EXTEND WIRE STRIKE GOTHAM LOCAL WANTS LEASED WIRE MEN CALLED OUT. Await Sanction of National Officers and Ask Them to Take Action Throughout. New York—The New York local of the Commercial Telegraphers' union voted Wednesday night to call out all leased wire operators employed by the press and brokers' offices in this city, if such action shall be sanctioned by the national officers. Action by the national officers will be awaited before anything further is done. It was voted also to ask the national offers to issue a call for the brokers' and press telegraphers throughout the country to quit work. The demand upon the men who are now working under contract is made in the interests of those who have struck against the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. The decision to call upon the press and broker operators to break their individual contracts and go out in a sympathetic strike was reached after a heated debate which occupied several hours of a meeting of the New York City labor union. It was declared that the strikers were practically unanimous. Daniel L. Russell, chairman of the strike committee, who until Wednesday had opposed the movement for a sympathetic strike, made a vigorous speech in which he reversed his position and declared that expediency demanded such a war measure as was proposed. An amendment introduced by John G. McCloskey of the Hearst News Service, exempting from the strike operators of leased jobs who were bound by a union contract with their employers, signed six months previous to the strike of the commercial men, was defeated, amid much cheering, by a resolution passed with little opposition. After the meeting Chairman Russell said if the present course was not effective the railroad operators would be called upon to quit work. GREAT NORTHERN DEFEATED.

Chicago—The now famous Bonaparte letter urging immunity for the Chicago & Oil and Union Tank line rebate case came out Tuesday morning when Judge Landis had the special federal and jury brought before him.

The communication, however, was soon forgotten when Judge Landis began asking the Standard Oil attorney's about the yellow panphlet which appeared from the offices of the company shortly after the $2,000,000 fine was imposed.

The press committee of the Proprieary Association of America will present at the next meeting of that body a report showing the number of acid dental deaths caused by patent medicine in the two years ending June 30 1907, as compared with deaths from other causes. other care. Almost immediately after the beginning of the latest crushage against proprietary medicines this committee was instructed to collect data. This work was done through the clipping branches, which furnished accounts of all deaths, exclusive of suicide, due to the misuse of medicines, drugs or poisones. The result showed that only three per cent. could be traced directly to the products made by the members of the association. The greatest care is said to have been exercised in tabulating the figures received. Whenever the cause of death was doubtful, special inves tigation was made, no matter where the case might have occurred. The work of assorting and preparing the record was done in Chicago, and the original clippings and correspondence are in the possession of Ervin F. Johnson, 515 East Street, that city, the association's public agent. The report says, in part: "A large number of accidents, resulting fatally or otherwise, were caused by the carelessness of persons who left drugs, medicines or poisons within the reach of children. A large number, also, were caused by persons going to medicine cabinets in the dark and taking down the wrong book in no case reported. In some cases, held responsible for injury or death except when learnt within the reach of children or taken or administered in gross overdose." The committee says that it is unlikely that any cases of death from the use of patent medicine escaped the newspapers, but that it is probable that death from the causes tabulated did occur without receiving puberty. Physicians, of course, report that they would be the last to suppress the cause if due to the use of medicine not regularly prescribed A recapitulation of the committee's findings show 4,255 cases of poisoning of which 1,753 were fatal. The great list number of cases, 1,636, with 803 deaths, is attributed to medicines other than proprietary remedies There are on the list 90 cases of sickness and 13 deaths due to patent medicines. Analyzing its statistics, the committee finds 201 cases of sickness, with 143 deaths, due to strychnine tablets which are among physicians' favorite remedies and are often left within the reach of children. Under the head of miscellaneous prescriptions are grouped 44 cases which say, "if it says, it has been impossible after diligence to ascertain the name or the character the drug or medicine which caused in injury or death, beyond the fact that the medicine or drug was prescribed by a physician. Of these cases 18 were fatal. The committee says: "Under the head of 'All Patent Medicines' are grouped all those remedies which are recognized as patent medicines and which are advertised direct to the public for internal use. Competent authorities say that at least one-half of the medicines taken in the United States are of the kind known as 'patent medicine', and in two years among $80,000,000 people there have been but ninety case (forty-three fatal) that have been reported in the newspapers from the use or misuse of these remedies." Not in a single fully substantiate case is it ever charged that any pat ant medicine in recommended doser was injurious. In this connection it should be understood that in making death certificates and in reporting cases of injury to the newspapers from which these cases were secured a physician had the final word, and in this connection is there any probability that the doctor will hide his own carelessness or neglect or that of a fellow practitioner whose support he may want at some time, and in there even a possibility that he might hide any responsibility that could be yourself these questions. Ask yourself these questions. You have found the answer, consider that during all this most thorough and careful, investigation covering a period of two years, in not a single established case was it shown that patent medicine in recommended doses was injurious. The most remarkable case reported was that of an Italian laborer in New York who suffered from pains in the chest. A physician ordered a porous plaster which the patient ate, with fatal results. Wear Palamas on Care "I learned something from the porter on our train this morning," said a hotel guest.

It is said that the cut is fully as smooth as the made by the saw, and is only 1-100 inch wide. PUTS THE "GINGER" IN. The Kind of Food Used by Athletes. A former college athlete, one of the long distance runners, began to lose his power of endurance. His experience with a change in food is interesting. "While I was in training on the track athletic team, my daily 'jogs' became a task, until after I was put on Grape-Nuts food for two meals a day. After using the Food for two weeks I felt like a new man. My digestion was perfect, nerves steady and I was full of energy. I trained for the mile and the half mile race (those events which require so much endurance) and then the long daily 'jogs', which before had been such a task, were clipped off with ease. I won both events. "The Grape-Nuts food put me in perfect condition and gave me my ginger. Not only was my physical condition made perfect, and my weight increased, but my mind was made clear and vigorous so that I could get out my studies in about half the time for merely required. Now most all of the University men use Grape-Nuts for they have learned its value, but think my testimony will not be bier and may perhaps help some one to know the best results can be obtained. There's a reason for the reason of Grape-Nuts food on the human body and brain. The certain elements in wheat and barley are selected with special reference to their power for rebuilding the brain and nerve centres. The product is then carefully and scientifically prepared so as to make it of digestion.

They tapped on the upper doors of the Tuna building, their access to the fire escape shut off by the flames, the quintette would inevitably have burned or suffocated, for the fire spread with unprecedented rapidity. The blaze started in the basement, gutted the two lower stories and ruined the entire floor in number. Nearly all the occupants of the building fled for their lives successfully, but the five who stopped to gather up precious effects found their egress shut off. Hastening to the windows they called in to the crowd below and two of the men aside as if they were about to jump. Shouts from the crowd deterred them, and in a short time the firemen were throwing up a long line of hats. Terrific enthusiasm greeted their arrival in safety on terra firma, the pent-up anxiety of the gathered thousands finding vent in the hustle of the crowd. The fire is the worst Burlington has experienced in some time, and the loss will reach $75,000. Insurance, however, is approximately $80,000. Insurance, of clothing. Clothing, pans's loss will reach $45,000 with about $20,000 insurance. Sutter & Ludman Drug company will lose $2,000, with $4,000 insurance. The insurance loss is total and will reach $10,000. Other losses are largely from smoke and water, and are well covered. SWALMS ENDOW HOSPITAL Consul and Wife Pay Tribute to Mother's Memory. Oskalaosa—Col. and Mrs. A. W. Swalw have generously remembered the new Oskalaosa hospital and have paid a beautiful tribute to Mr. Swalw's mother. At a meeting of the hospital board it was announced that they had tendered the old home and that K street to the hospital to endow a ward in the new building to be known as the Elizabeth Swalw ward. The property is to be deeded to the hospital or to a trustee for the institution and will likely be sold. The entire proceeds are to be used the ward and to aid in maintaining it. This is one of the most generous of the many gifts that have been made to the hospital and it will pay fitting honor to the memory of a noble and kind hearted woman, whose many acts of kindness and deeds of charity have been beloved by all who knew her in life. The details of furnishing the apartment have not been arranged as yet, but the house is in the course of time, and the Elizabeth Swalm ward will be a credit to the hospital, and a source of pleasure to the family. A good woman whose name it will bear. FAST TRAIN HITG FARMERS One Fatally Hurt; Other Badly Injured Jefferson.—The Los Angeles Limited, enlisted, running at the rate of sixty miles an hour through the small town of Sorranton a few miles north of Los Angeles, double buggy in which were two prominent farmers of Green County, killing the horses outright and hurling them a hundred feet down the track. The occupants of the carriage were John McQuaid and J. Billsborough, who escaped with their lives, but both received serious injuries, and it is thought that Mr. Billsborough will die. The buggy was a complete wreck. The horses were torn to pieces. Bits of flesh were found along the track for a hundred feet. A horse was being led behind the buggy, and it, too, was instantly killed. It was within a few feet of them, and then an attempt was made to back across the track out of danger. In this they failed and the engine struck the hind horse, which was in the middle of the track, and it together with the whole rig, with terrace force drew the track.

Horrible Method of Suicide Most people have at some time witnessed rewired sightings, but the falling of a suicide from the cathedral tower onto the pavement, 210 feet below, into the midst of the hurrying noonday crowd, upon whose faces and clothes his exploding debris scattered itself, which was seen in Antwerp rewired with a new camera. A more chanted known as Jacques Simons quietly left his wife and two children at home, as if to go on some business errand, made straight for the cathedral tower, climbed it, and without an instant's hesitation, hurled himself into space. History relates that no one has jumped from this tower since the suicide of its architect, to whom a pop star attributes the same fate, small bits of brass marking the spot on the brass where he fell. FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep- Handles Arms and Legs Injured for 6 Days. "I had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affected parts were my hands, arms and legs. They were the worst in the winter time, and were always itchy, and I could not keep from scratching them. I had to keep both hands bandaged all the time, and at night I would have to scratch through the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me a permanent cure nor even could they stop the itching. I could not Scap, Scap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and I never felt better in my life than I do.

Then it becomes blank verse. —Puck. One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy Tumor. The tumor is so insidious that frequently its presence is wholly unsuspected until it is well advanced. So called "wandering pains" may come from its early stage on, but the fever may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thigh. If you have mysterious pains, if you are indications of inflammation displacements, secure a bottle of a E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, right away and begin its use. The fever should continue every suffering woman of its virtue, and that it actually does conquer tumors. Mrs. May Fry, of 836 W. Colfax Ave, South Bend, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham— "I take great pleasure in writing to thank you for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has provided in alternate doses with the Compound. Your medicine removed a ester tumor of four years' growth, which three of the best physicians declare is the only operation could help me. I am thankful that I followed a friend's advice and took your medicine. It has made me a strong and well woman and I shall recommend it as long as I live." Mrs. E. F. Hayes, of 26 Buggles St., Boston, Mass., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I have been under different doctors' care without relief. They told me I had a fibroid tumor, my abdomen was swollen and I suffered with great pain. I wrote to you for advice, you replied and I followed your directions earlier. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system." Mrs. Perry Byers, of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, writes: For Women's Agonies The agonies that you suffer every month, can be relieved. Take Cardul. During over 50 years this purely vegetable remedy has been successfully used by more than a million women and still continues its good work in the relief and cure of womanly pain and suffering. Thousands of ladies have written to tell how they were cured by Wine of Cardui for the benefit of other suffering women. Mrs. M. Stout, of Gabbatha, Tenn., writes: "I suffered with female weakness and pains in my back and limbs for a year. I was so bad I could hardly walk. I took Cardui and now I feel like a new woman." $1.00 WRITE US A LETTER Write today for a free copy of valuable 64-page illustrated Book for Women.

It happened on one of the United States cruisers now at Hampton roads, says the Washington Herald. A lieutenant, having met two very charming ladies while ashore, invited them on board for luncheon. They came and were shown over the ship. They lingered long in the lieutenant's room, which was daintily furnished, and they admired his photographs of home. When he was summoned on deck he left them there. Returning, he took them to luncheon and, having to go on duty in the afternoon, he excused himself so as to get into uniform. Alas! he found that every button on his best coat had been cut off and then he remembered that one of his fair guests has been rather importunate on the souvenir question. He got her alone after luncheon and accused her of the theft and after some prevarication she confessed that the buttons were in her corsage. With some firmness the lieutenant led the culprit to his cabin, pointed silently to the denuded coat on the bunk, produced needle and thread and, going out, locked the door on the outside. In half an hour he returned, unlocked the door, found that his coat was once more in excellent order and then, with great gallantry, bowed the lady over the side. She has not been invited to luncheon on the same ship since. A FASHION FROM WAR. How Flat Watches Teek Place of the Old-Time "Turnips." When the neat man takes unto himself a watch as thin as parchment he little thinks that that thin watch results from army regulations. Up to the time of the Allies taking Paris the ordinary watch was convex in shape and called from its outline a "turnip." The officers of the Russian and other armies objected to this because its bulbous form made the uniform of a man on parade look untidy, whether it were carried in the coat or the fob. Here in Paris, however, they found that the watchmakers of the Palais Royal had contrived a chronometer which got over the difficulty. Flat watches were the fashion in Paris. The English when they appeared in the streets of the French capital marched in not in gala dress such as the others were, but in the raiment which they had worn on campaign. Great was the impression which their habilliments created. But they at once adopted the smart flat watch and brought it back to England for our own manufacturers to copy.—London Standard. Paddy and Taxes. A voice from the jungle of Burma is heard in the following letter from a missionary correspondent to the Christian Herald: "The Lord has sent me $10 from a friend in New York, which will buy thatch for the three native houses and an addition to this one I live in and pay for its transport here besided. Another gift also came and with it I have paid this new man's wages for one week, bought a small supply of dried fish, paid for a fresh supply of stamps and left a little for daily needs. Our store of rice is fast melting away and daily the prayer is offered at morning and evening worship, before the children and heathen visitors, that the Lord will send money for more rice, for paddy and for the taxes, which are now dua." Creatures of the Wild "Wild animals and birds are no more angelic than human beings. In every family, in every bird and in every cage, from tigers to doves, the strong bully and oppress the weak and drive them to the wall. Of all quadrupeds, deer are the greatest zool, wolves are the meanest, apes the most cunning, bears the most consistent and open-minded, and elephants the most intellectual. Of birds, the parrots and cockatoos are the most philosophic, the cranes are the most domineering, the darters are the most treacherous, the gallinaceous birds have the least common sense, and the swimming birds are by far the quickest to recognize protection and accept it."—N. Y. Sun. The photograph represented a palm grove, a lake and a caravan of indian camels and white-robed Arabs moving in, stately wise across the pale desert. "That is a picture of a mirage, or tata morgana," said the traysler. "I took it in the Sahara, not far from Toumbouktoo. There was really nothing there but sand-wastes on wastes of sand, but my dazzled eyes saw that mirage and my camera saw it, too. This is e only mirage picture I have ever got. I have tried in Ceylon, in Egypt and in Morocco to photograph various mirages, but always in vain. There are scarcely six mirage photos in existence." Words and Deeds "There never was a time in my life, fellow citizens," exclaimed the candidate, "when I hadn't the courage to call a spade a spade!" "Yes," spoke up an old farmer in the audience; "and there never was a time in your life when you had the courage to take one in your hand!" In his bathing suit the little fellow was digging in the sand. "Why, Jimmy," said a lady, "how tanned you are!" He continued to dig sullenly. "Did you hear me yell?" he asked, without looking up.

Was Distinctive Mark of Caste in the Middle Ages. "This is a medieval salt cellar," said the antiquary. "It is huge, it is shaped like a castle, it is solid silver and the price—but what is the use telling the price to you? You? Very magnificent, ch? in the middle age, you know, the salt cellar was the principal table ornament. Guests sat above or below the salt as they were prominent or the reverse. Where do you think you'd have sat, ch? Queer table manners they had in those days. The fastidious had individual knives, forks and spoons, but the common people ate with their fingers. You helped yourself from the general dish with your own spoon if you had one, but if you were very, very fastidious you licked the spoon clean first. The food was queer—rich, rank food—swans, herons, porpoises, garlic, verjuce, saffron. There was mead and wine in floods and ushers stood about whose duty it was to lead to convenient couches such guests as had dined too well. These ushers, being overworked, were continually striking for more pay. The hours were queer, too. Breakfast, dawn, dinner, ten o'clock; supper, four o'clock in the afternoon." TAKING NO MORE CHANCES. Keepere Had Special Cartridges For Poor Marksmans. Dr. Seward Webb at a dinner at Shelburne Farms, his great Vermont estate, said of a certain poor murks man: "Visiting his! English brothers in law, he shot the head keeper in the leg the first morning he tried pheasant shooting. The man limped away cursing horribly. Next day he had wretched luck, though the wounded head keeper without malice had assigned him to a fairly good place. Bang, bang, bang, went his gun every few seconds, but not a bird fell before it. He was much embarrassed. It seemed, too, that at each of his misses the under keepers smiled at one another oddly. Finally his cartridges gave out. He hurried to the nearest keeper and demanded more. 'There ain't no more, sir,' the man answered. 'No more? Nonsense. Why, you've got at least 1,000 in that box.' The keeper flushed and stammered: 'Ah, but they ain't for you, sir. They're for another gent. They've got shot in 'em, sir.'"

Ingenuity In Stealing: Ingenuity in Stealing "What's all the row about?" the hungry man queried, the manager of the city restaurant, was seen to rush excitedly to the cashier's desk and detain a departing individual. The waiter explained. For a month past some of the numbered checks had been missing, and it had been discovered that certain patrons were economizing at the expense of the management. A man would order 15 cents' worth and receive a check for the amount. Then he would secrete the check when the waiter wasn't looking and order a quarter's worth more of eatables. The waiter would then give a check for 40 cents, but when it came time to pay the customer would use the 15-cent ticket to get by the door. "H'm," muttered the hungry man; "fine scheme," and in the excitement he passed a Canadian dime on the cash'er.
