How They Work 1t.

"Peopie get Off a great many very ancient
jokes about the big diamonds worn by hotel
clerks" remarked a salesman ut the Hotel
Anderson last night, "ani as result most
persons have gotten the idea into their heads
that those same diamonds are nothing but big
chunks of paste"
do You wish the great reading public to
infer that they are anything elSe.'
Il do, just that Most of the diamonds
worn by hotel clerks are genuine. Only last
week, while was at Atlantic City, 1 saw a
hotel clerk from whose breast one Of the
largest and purcst diamonds l ever saw gilt
tered But, of course, he didn't pay for it,
and, to tell the truth, it didn't belong to
him."
1T didn't belong to hing
"No, my dear boy. il didn't. He was wear
ing it for an advertisement. A great many
jewelry firms advertise their goods IN Just
that way. Almost any watering place you
may so to you will see the hotel clerks blaz-
ing with diamonds that will make your ewes
bulge out. Its good dodge for the jeweler
and it pleases the clerk"
But how is the jeweIer benefitedf
"Well, it don't cost anything to let clerk
wear a diamond a few months, and during
that time rich visitors are sure to inquire
about the stone, ask where IL was purchased
and SO on. The clerk of course tells what
house it came from, recommends the visitor
to go there, and aften gives him a card of in
reduction to the proprietor-sce,'-Pitts

Bcatin; a Hotel Keeper.

A friend of mine the other day came to
settle for his nights lodging at a bedbuggy
little hole in the wall near the railway station
here in Neuchntol called the Hotel des Alps.
In addition to the charge for apartment, SER
vice, lights, ETC., was the item, "Un dejeu-
ner." l will put in-o plain English that
which followed:
"But didn't order any breakfast"
THAT was no fault OF the house, mon
sieur."
"Do you mean to tell me that you wish to
charge me for breakfast neither ordered nor
ate.'
.The breakfast was prepared all the same,
monsieur"
you pretend that you provide a regular
table d'hote breakfast every morning and
charge for it whether your guests take it or
notr"
.Yes, monsieur. See the menu? Here it
is" and the firm, yet polite, landlord pro-
duced his regular "a la carte" My friend
perused it. Then he said:
"How much of this do you serve Us your
regular breakfast"
Anything you like, monsieur"
every well. Receipt the bill, and, as am
to pay for a breakfast please God / will eat
it. Bring me a fllet of beef with mush-
rooms, a half chicken grille, a rum omelet
and pint of Chablis. 1 shall wait over until
the next train"
Mine host of the Hotel des Alps looked first
stupefied and then disguised, and finally
grasping the situation, he ran into his office,
altered his bill in conformity with the facts
and hurrying back, cried: Here, monsieur,
here is your bill quite correct-six francs
thirty-ive centimes-and you will just have
time to catch your train Henry Watterson

The ruling class in Mexico, the Spaniards,

They are lazy, conceited, cruel, supercilious,
suspicious, insincere and mendacious, as a

cunning what they lack in industry and en-
terprise. Two years ago spent moro than a

of all sorts for what he could get; that free
ballot was unknown, and the election was al

troops; that there was not n newspaper at the
capital that was not either subsidized or ter
rorized; that there prevailed a cordial hatred
of "the Gringoes" (monkeys as Americans
were often called; that a law enabled the
president to drive out of the country "obnox-

punishment of insurgents was generally death,

Held on Too Long.

Two years ago oil was struck at the Mar
shall farm, in Venango county. The farm
contained $50 acres, and before the Oil was
found would have been considered q good sale
at $40 an acre. The wells drilled ON the farm
were big 1gushers", and opened up a new oil
territory. A month after the first well was
struck the farm was sold for sS5O,OOO The
Bartley farm adjoining also proved to be an
oil farm, and was sold for So, 600 The
school district Of the township owned an acre
of ground which, with q red schoolhouse,
was worth $500. The schoolhouse property
was surrounded by the big wells, and all in
dications were that the acre was the center
of a rich oil pool.
A prominent oil operator offered the school
directors SO, 600 for the acre. The offer was re-
fused They held out for s1OO, ,O00 The would
be purchaser raised his offer to SO, 900. This
was the highest price ever offered for an acre
of Land anywhere in the country. If it had
been accepted this rural district would have
been the richest country schoolhouse district
in the Union 1t was refused Wells were
put down all around the acre. In the course
of time the school directors concluded to tap
the rich veins Of oil that were supposed to lie
under the red schoolhouse and its lot. At an
expense of several thousand dollars they
have put down wells, and the tract is found
to b as dry as a bone. The schoolhousc prop

Of the Town-Juvenile vretchedness.
There is something uncanny about these
mature children Of the town I was at the
Windsor hotel at dinner with some friends a
short time ago when a pompous little woman
strode down the long dining room, followed
by two little girls hand in hand. Neither OF
them was more than years old They set
tied themselves in their chairs folded their
skinny little hands and then proceeded to
stare about them and comment upon their
fellow-diners. The elder of the two children,
after looking intently at a maiden lady of
rather noticeable attire at an ad djoining table,
turned to her mother and said composedly:
"What really startling old trump that is,
mammal"
(Which one, dear?" asked the strict disci-
plinarian of a mother.
1.-THE cheerful guy beside the bald-headed
man over there"
"Oh, yes" said the mother, with a we'll
bred smile, sTve seen her before. But don't
be so slangy, Marion. Have more tone.
Order your dinner now and see that you let
puree and lamb alone. Its too rich for you. "
Then to the waiter: "Take her order, Au-
guste"

child, who was studying the menu nth q

her thin lips "It's the most provoking thingl
Whenever set my heart"
1--WE have some green corn"
Eat it yourself,' said the child in q huff.
The waiter was quite unmoved. He seemed
to be accustomed to such ebullitions of temper
and went on suavely taking the orders of the
others, while Miss Marion sat the picture of
overdressed, pampered and pouting discon-

And the children of the flats Who ever
hears of these shy and melancholy little be-
ings who speak in whispers and have been
bullied, reprimanded and scolded by servants,
tenants, janitors and parents until they glide
about like shadows and dare not laugh for
fear of disturbing some one! The joyousness
and life of childhood have been crushed out
of them. And the children of the boarding
house, who live under n perpetual protest
from the grim aud snappy landlady and the
testy boarder of the first floor front" who
must have the house quiet SO as to enjoy her
afternoon nap. Nearly every boarding house
that advertises now puts forth the fiat "No

without, first inquiring: "whats the
