HE PAID HIS BILL.
A HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL WHICH
WAS TORN IN HALF.
A joke which Recoiled Upon the Maker
A Shrewd Bartender Turns the
Tables Upon n Practical
Joker.

AS is usual on Thanksgiving day,
considerable quantity OF esg-nog wa
consumed yesterday by thankful citi
zens, and q number OF amusing Incl
dents could be witnessed upon th
streets and elsewhere in consequences
But there was nothing caused heartie
laugh than an occurrence which tool
place in Spring-street saloon.
The talented mixer OF drinks who pre-
sides at that particular house OF call il
bit OF wag in his way, and mar
whom it is difficult to rattle" on any
sort of q proposition, as the following
story will prove:
An army officer, genial six-footer,
had made the Spring-street resort his
headquarters during the day and by the
time afternoon was reached had euc'
ceeded in reaching thoroughly mellow
and satisfied condition, and it was when
he reached this stage that he conceived
the idea OF scoring one off his friend,
the dispenser of drinks.
Calling a couple of friends up to the
bar, the army man called for the drinks,
which in the twinkling of an eve made
their appearance and were consigned to
place of safety.
With O careless air the jocund six
footer stuck two fingers in his waistcoat
pocket and pulled out bundle of 500
bills, the number of which caused the
hair of those present to stand on end
with envy.
Selecting one, the owner gravely
passed it over to the barkeeper, and,
turning to his friends, winked the other
eye.
The white-aproned one scanned the
figures on the bill, and, shaking his
head, regretted that he was unable to
make change.
This of course was exactly what the
man with the roll expected, and in high
glee he declared that the drinks were ON
the house.
The barkeeper, who still held the bill,
protested, however, but in vain. The
army man would listen to nothing; un-
less the bill WAS changed there would
be no drinks paid for.
The man behind the bar thought a
minute, while the crowd were enjoying
the joke, and then made last request
for smaller amount of money.
His appeal was Intellectual "Drinks
on you-or change the bill," laughed
the owner OF the hundred.
The barkeeper sizing up his man as
one who enjoyeth a joke, then remarked:
"All right, old man, I'll fix you," and
taking the bill by each corner tore it in
half, while the crowd looked on, aghast
at the sacrilege.
The owner of the money suddenly be.
came serious, and began to vigorously
protest.
Then the other handed him one half
the bill with the laconic remark, Come
around later and pay for the drinks and
I'll give you the otherhalf."
Expostulstion was of no use, and the
good natured officer yielded to the inev-
liable and acknowledged the laugh was
On him.
Later on he re-appeared, this time
with change. and receiving the other
half of the 500 bill pasted the two
pieces of paper together, after which he
set up the drinks for the house.

HORTICULTURAL Commissioner John
Scott is about to be Investigated by the
board of supervisors. His bills for
chemicals for the extirpation of bugs
are said to have reached paralyzing pro-
portions. His enmity to parasites is
said to have something to do with these
large outlays for these expensive chem
icals. The 18th of the present month
has been set as the date for the COM

State Horticultural convention, which

preference for parasites, and antagonized

A CAREFUL inspection of the press OF
the United States shows an overwhelm-
ing preponderance against the imposi-
tion of an income tax. This sentiment
crops out as freely in Democratic as in
Republican circles. w. Bourks Cochran,
the great Tammany chief of New York,
is outspoken against it. The HERALD
was early in deprecating such tax, and
we find that the reasons advanced
against it are exactly those propounded
in this journal. 1t is inquisitorial. un-
equal. un-democratic, un-republican
and premium on perjury. Only great
war could justify it, and even in the heat
and throes OF the war for the union the
United States found it convenient to re-
peal its income tax. There is little
chance OF its passing congress second
time, and it's introduction only tends to
obscure the great tariff issue. By drop.
ping it at once much valuable time will
be saved for the material features of
tariff reform. These remarks have no
bearing on the proposed tax on inherit
ances beyond certain sum, upon alb
eentee landlords or upon the foreign
owners OF immense land holdings hich,
in some states, such as Texas, for in
stance, amount to millions OF acres, held
purely for purposes of speculation.
These features OF the proposed law should
have been enacted long ago. They par
take of none of the inquisitorial or op-
pressive features of an income tax, and
are calculated to prevent the growth of
great evils.

PITTsBURG, Nov. 30.-The situation at
the mines of the Pittaburg and Chicago
Coal Gas company at Snowden and Gas-

MAKE an effort TO start with non-union

not to allow the mines to resume unless
