The story is told In the White
Mountains that Mr.. Vanderbilt went in
to one of the big hotels one day last
summer and. instead OF being shown to
the elaborate table prepared for him,
was ushered to an obscure seat by the
head water, who didn't recognize him.
The guest quietly partook of bowl Of
crackers and milk, gave the sub-waiter
five-dollar tip. and went out. And
that head walter has felt like kicking
himself ever since. IN Y. Times.

In another place we insL IT the advef4
tissment of the Chicago Lumber Com
pany. 1t appears that the winter has
been unusually favorable for getting out
logs in the pine woods, and that the
railroads. are making special rates on
lumber. The Chicago Lumber Compa-
ny have on hand Ia their Chicago yard,
at all Missouri river points and also in
their Emporia yards. immense stocks Of
lumber which are TO be moved to make
room for their new cut, which will be
the largest handled by any one firm in
the world. This is an opportunity to
accelerate the threatened spring boom
as Emporia which will not be lost by
the citizens of this town and adjoining
country.
1t will be especially noticed that the
prices of yellow pine flooring are so Low
that It would seem almost Incredible.
This is explained by the fact that s,
G1errier and Mr.. F. Winnie. OF Newton
