TENDING BAR.
Much Larger Salaries Paid Than Is
Generally Supposed.

"The fellow who looks with disfa-
o upon the bushes. Of tending bar
makes a financial mistake at least,
said an obscryant citizen, 10 a New
Orleans Timcs-D Democrat reporter,
"for some Of these men get salaries
that are looked upon as rather large
by the average man. There are bar
keepers in the United States who get
a. much as the members Of the federal
congress. | picked up a German pa
per published in New York few days
ago. and ! was astonishcd TO find an
advertisement in there for a barkeep-
or. and it was stated that the salary
would be 800 per week. There are
many barkccpers in New York at the
more swell placcs that make 800 or
$500 month. This not a bad salary.
OF course there are many who get
much less. the salaries ranging from
lS25 to $500 a month. The same con.
dition. prevail in Europe in the larger
places that are f~rcquented by the
wealthy. or urse there is u good
substantial reason for paying ihesc
iargc salaries in the more noted places
Of the country. The barkeeperin thi.
age has to bc something more than an
awkward handler of beer mugs and
plain old whisky glasses. Mixing
drinks is one Of the new arts, and there
are many drinks in the late schedule.
In the more Nristocntic places the bar
tender must be a past master in tn,
art of mixing. lie must know the in
gradients Of all the drinks, and h,
must get them up quickly, daintily
gracefully, else he will offend The
drinking dilettante. This condition
has brought about a demand for III,
best men in the business, and has de.
veloped a spirit Of competition be.

A Mexican Legend.

Chocolate was derived, according
to a Mexican legend, from a tree Of di-
vine origin that was originally intend
ed TO provide a production forthe ben
eft Of the chosen sons OF humanity.
The Mexican garden prophet, Duet
~zatlcoatl, attained a seed from the
sacred garden whore the children of
the sun lived. The fruit Of the tree
proved to be so valuable and accepta-
bic that, in gratitude to the prophet
who had taught them to value it, the
people Of Mexico worshiped their
benefactor under the name of Votan,
a name which signifies an adder
clothed with precious or divine feath-
ers. lie was also known as the God Of
Chocolate.

3. Tradcsmcn. professional men,

In a long journey, when the chill

things which go into small space in a
grip. There are sheets and sheets Of
paper dolls and card furniture, .
small, sharp-pointed scissors, a few
boxes Of glass beads, thread and

ready to sew and two or three new

THE HABIT.

really a task for me to write longhsnd,
and when | do write longhand | find
that the whole character Of my writ

way of tracing the characters before

In my business all the writing ! do is
originally in shorthand, and tran

this way | rarely have occasion to

The trail Of Czolgosz for the murder

trial. The American people we'll
knew that the law would in due time
mete out the punishment that he was
desc rving of ana so rested content in
this knowledge. What other people
on this earth would have done this?
All OF this goes to stow wha re-
markable people the American peo.
pie are and what capacity for self
government they show. 1t is to be
doubted If there were any grea crowds
around the bulletin boards in the large
cities Thursday eager to learn the
punishment of the vile wretch, as all
knew that there could be but ons end
for such a crime. The only thing that
agitates them now is that the 2sth of
October shall come as quickly as pos
sible in order that the vile creature
