Bluff. Our passengers have had to depcod on whatever theycould get at lunch stands and poorly kept eating houses in the past. For the last year our trains have not stopped at Pine Bluff for meals because we could not arrange for q suitable place for pas sengers to get meals near the depot.

The Head Walters Cocktail.

In a swell hotel on Broadway the
head waiter is not allowed to indulge in
bibulous refreshments during the hours
he is on duty. The other evening he
was filled with an irrepressible long
ing for cocktail. He managed to get
it with such ease that it was evidently
well tried and efficacious trick.
His method can be best understood
by quoting the waiter:
Sure, we're not charging yes for a
cocktail" whispered waiter to a
young gentleman to whom he had just
brought check, but the head waiter
wanted a cocktail and thought yes
would be the wan who would moind
laste having it put it ON to yes bill.
You see, whispered the waiter, conf
dentially, he couldn't put it onto the
bill of the gists in the house, thcy might
remark it, so he had to put it onto the
bill of somebody who came in from the
strate. I'll bring yes the twinty cents
back and thank yes fur the accommo.
dation.
THE head waiter has either discerned
that you are man with liberal and
sympathetic disposition or one who
knows how good a cocktail tastes and
how bad man wants it when he can
not get it. " remarked the young lady
who was dining with the gentleman
whom the head waiter rightly singled
out as possible friend to fellow man
in need of spirituous consolation. New

A good story is told of a stipendiary
magistrate in a Yorkshire town, not
given to err on the side of leniency, who
heavily fined a cabman for fast driving.
A few days after the magistrate. de.
tanned rather longer than usual in the
court, was hurrying along to catch his
train when, seeing an empty cab handy,
he hailed the driver and directed him to
proceed to the station, telling him that
he was pressed for time. The driver,
however, needless of the hint, kept to a
gentle trot. 81 say, say, my man."
exclaimed the fare, with his head out of
the window, drive faster than thisw
ut ce,''' he done, sir" replied the driver.
'Ye see, if we drives faster we're had

so we has to be careful" He did not
alter his pace, and neither did the "beak"
catch his train.-London Tit-Bits.

Tricks In All Trades,

The young doctor was sitting in his
consultation room chatting with friend
when some one entered the outer office.
He stepped out. and the friend heard
him say:
Pray take seat. I'll be at liberty
in few minutes"
Then he came back into the consulta-
tion room and closed the door after him.
"fll skip" said the friend.
Not for the world. Sit down." said
the doctor.
"But you have patient waiting"
"Well, it's a woman. Let her wait
about 10 minutes"
You may lose her business"
"On the contrary, I'll get it regularly.
| always make them wait"
"Why?"
ITO give the impression of rush of
business. 1t is the only way to keep a
woman. If she thought wasn't rushed
to death, she'd lose confidence in me and
go somewhere else. Chicago Record.

1t does not pay to doctor very sick
fowls. Use simple remedies in the be-
ginning of the disease. If, however, the
disease has rooted itself, it is generally
advisable to kill the bird and bury its
carcass.
1t has never been found profitable to
convert the apiary into curiosity shop

different patterns. Endeavor to have
all or nearly all hives of the same pat
tern and fitted with the best improve

In growing rape the aim should be to
secure thick growth of medium plants.
Thinning will make heavier yield, but
there will be more waste because of the
heavy stems. This crop should be more

well on any reasonably good soil.
A smooth meadow makes easy now

the very least OF speculative nature

1t is just as important to adopt labor

There are certain principles which are

weed closely. Some men never think
