One Diner Who Always Feed His Ser
 vitor in Foreign Stamps

One Diner Who Always Feed His Ser
 vitor in Foreign Stamps
 An establishment was frequented by q weekly customer who, on paying his ] bill was wont to run the waiter over with his eyes, and, having noted what article of attire was most in need of re- newal, give an order for it on one of his tradesmen. Sometimes it would be for shine, sometimes for a pair of boots, while the waiter has even been known to be the lucky recipient of brand new dress coat
 The principal hotel of a South of England cathedral town boasts of cor pulent waiter who numbers among his clientele gentleman even stouter than himself. Their respective weights are standing joke between them--a rather serious one for the waiter, whose tip is appointed according to the customers superior avoirdupois, penny for every pound As however, the gentleman is now some three stone the heavier, and bids fair to go still further ahead, the waiter is at present happy.
 An eccentric city man who lunched every Monday at the London restaur- ant that formerly stood at the corner of Chancery Lane, invariably when he had finished his meal handed the wait CT in lieu of the customary tip, a framed photo Of himself This was al- ways accepted with polite the nks for though the portrait was valueless the frame made ample amends, being generally a handsome leather article, while on one occasion at least it was fashioned out of silver.
 Another patron was also wont to tip this same waiter in kind. The gentle man possessed a caustic humor, and having by adroit questioning discovered what his attendant particularly dis liked would give him that article as tip Thus the waiter in point being non-smoker, was presented with tobacco and a pipe, while to another, who was teetotaler, was given bottle of whiskey. Needless to say, these were all speedily sold or ex- changed.

stalled. The damage in this section is estimated at $200,000.
 Both tracks of the Lehigh Valley railroad between Weatherly and Black Creek, east of this city, were washed away and the Pennsylvania lines south of here were severely damaged. Not a train has arrived here to-day Philadelphia, Dec. 15.-A storm which for severity and destructiveness has not been equalled in this section for twen- , ty-five years visited eastern and cen- tral Pennsylvania last night, caused all most unprecedented damage and result ed in the loss of at least four human beings. The havoc in the coal regions is enormous and the loss to the railroad and coal mining companies will amount to millions of dollars. The Schuylkill, Lehigh, Susquehanna and Juniata riv- CTS have risen as high as fifteen feet above their levels and of their tribu- taries have overflowed, inundating the surrounding country in more than a dozen counties.
 Innumerable washouts have occurred on the Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and Reading, Northern Central, Lehigh Val ley, New Jersey Central and Lackawan- na railroads. Bridges were carried away and traffic is at a standstill The delegates to the convention of the American Federation of Labor are storm bound at Scranton, with no idea when they will be able to leave.
 The force of the water weakened the supports of a bridge spanning a creek near Williamsport, and as a result a freight train was wrecked and three men were killed, At Oneida, near Ha- zleton, miner was swept from a bridge and drowned.
 In the Schuyllill valley fortyeight mines were flooded and in the Lehigh and LackaWanna regions the destruc- ton is equally great Hundreds of mules were drowned in the collieries, and it will be weeks before many of the mines can resume operations.
 In some sections the water reached the second stories of dwellings, and the town of Westmore, near Wilkesbarre, Is submerged At Pottsville and other places in Schuylkill counties ten inches of rain fell in twenty-four hours.
 The high wind accompanying the rain unroofed many houses, and the individ- ual losses will be considerable.

ONE CANTEEN.
The Story as Told by Captain H. H Benham, of the Second Infantry. "Captain Benham ?"

| The Story as Told by Captain H. H
 Benham, of the Second Infantry. 1 Captain Benham?"
 "I am Captain Benham." i A man of medium height with a full beard and a clear eye, dressed in ordi- nary civilian dress, stopped short in the center of one of the rooms of the United States recruiting office. The walk in dicated the man of action, while the quick, precise stop and commanding bearing showed the soldier. There was a slight rising infection in his re- sponse, and, guessing the cause, I smil- ed and said:
 Don't be frightened have not come to enlist"
 It was then Captain Benham's turn to smile. He waved me to a seat, and, dropping into a swing chair before a l large roller-top desk filtered with pa- pers, said:
 q am relieved" his smile deepening | into laugh as he added: ITO tell the truth, I was afraid you were one of the anti-canteen advocates come to convince me that the canteen should go."
 You are not in favor of the abolish ment of the canteen, then?" T most certainly am not You will pardon me if I light a cigarette?" inquired Captain Benham. Thanks. Well, I tell you the women who have struggled and fought against the canteen do not know what they have done. By abolishing it they have injured the cause of temperance more than anything else in the world could have done. They do not realize that when a man wants anything to drink he is going to get it and if he cannot have good light beer he will take what he can get, and the drinks of foreign countries are the ruination of the American soldier"
 Captain Benhams cigarette went out, but he did not notice it and he spoke as man whose heart was In what he said.
 '1 tell you, when we get so we can send angels out to the Philippines to fight at S15 month, then we can af- ford to do away with the canteen with good results to the army, but so long as we have men to deal with we cannot afford to give the canteen up. It is the best thing for the soldiers, under the circumstances, that could be. I know this from practical experience.
 Captain Benham relighted his cigar ette and, blowing a thin cloud of blue smoke ceilingward, continued: Tn Cuba we had splendid canteen. We ordered

 minds me of faithful fellow who was
 in the service of my family up to the
 time he died" said an old citizen. "We
 called him Big Foot Pete, and his name
 was descriptive of a physical fact, for
 he had the biggest feet ever saw on a human being. He was fellow of many Virtues, and, like all the darkies of the
 old stock, he had his white folks, as he
 called them, and from the latest arri- val up they were simply the salt of the
 earth. Every old negro believed he worked for the best people in the world, pride which is lacking in the servants of the younger generation, and thing, too, which detracts much from their usefulness Unless the servant takes a pride in the family there is no pride in the work, and consequently the work is of poor kind. But Big Foot Pete be- longed to the old school, and he was one of the most faithful fellows I ever saw. He was employed as cook by my grandmother and he thought she was the greatest woman on earth. She lived in the country and raised nearly everything that was needed on the place, and always had the old smoke house we'll filled with the substantial goods of life Big Foot Pete had free access to the smokehouse and the trust imposed in him was never abused in xl, ID,,t 1,1 He could not keep away from the hem house. He was fond of chickens and knew just where to get them. Pete would get down to the home of his old mistress early every morning to cook breakfast Every two or three morn ings he would bring down with him half of a chicken and he would brol it nicely for the old mistress, humoring her with this extra dish at the break fast hour. The other part of the chick en Pete would eat before he left, or maybe the night before. Ole miss,' he said one morning, I fotch yo' some mo chicken an Is done br'iled it for yo' breakfuss.' This had been going on for some time and the old lady was just little suspicious. Look here, Pete she said good naturedly. you low-down scoundrel, believe you are stealing my chickens Pete shook with laughter. Lawd, Lawd, old miss he said, and that was all he did say. He just kept laughing. He had been stealing chick ems from the henhouse of his old mis- tress, but he was good enough to divide, for he never got anything in life that he was not willing to divide with his white folks, and he knew that no hair on his head would be harmed if he stole the whole henlouse.
