man who takes tips? No, not at all.
"You, for instance, tell your to-
bacconist that in a few days Smith,
the millionaire, will be in to see him
that Smith was looking for good
dealer, and you recommended him
to 90 there. Well, Smith goes there
and leaves a heavy order. Hence
you are not surprised when you re-

"Robinson sends a rich friend to
his tailor with a note ofintroduction,

"Pish! Tipping, they say, is un.
American, and a waiter of proper
pride and independence would scorn
to accept a quarter or half return
for the serving of a meal. But I say
that tipping runs clean through our
social system, from top to bottom,
and all of us, excepting only the ele-
vator man, are taking tips Of one sort

HUNTERS BAG A FORTUNE.
low a Rabbit in a Burrow Led to Find
ing of a Mine.

ing of Mine.
There is still living at Ilkley an old
Yorkshire sportsman, Mr.. Charles
Whitaker, who was present at the
shooting Of a certain historic rabbit.
Here is the story, says London Tit
Bits. In the forties party Of gentle
men were out shooting in the Cleye-
land Hills. At that time the old
sporting families were resident in
what were then the desolate York
shire dales, and Mr.. Whitaker was
one Of the party What sport they
hadl What bags they brought home!
He remembers two peculiarities of
the shooting men in that day They
shot in tall hats, and no time was
spent over the lunch basket for it
had not yet come into vogue. In the
course of that day a rabbit was
wounded, and, naturally enough,
made for its burrow. Not wishing to
lose it, the keeper tried to get it out
Of the hole by means Of his ramrod.
He failed to extract the rabbit; but
in the course Of probing he broke off
a piece of stone, which he drew from
the burrow to enable him to get deep
er down.
The stone caught the eye of one of
the party; who was interestedin some
works in South Wales. He put it into
his pocket, and experts told him it
was piece of genuine iron ore. Ne
gotiations followed with Sir j. H.
Lowther, on whose land the ere was
found. The immediate result was
the placing of mining plant and
subsequent results have been that in
the town of Middlesbrough, number
ing $4,000 inhabitants, vast for
tunes accumulated, and a prospect of
further development which none can
foretell.

BOOK BOOMING IN OLD TIMES.
How Daniel DefOe Caused a Great De-
mand for a Poor Book.

A bookseller who, in 17O5, had
printed a large edition of a
translation of a very dull work
by one Drelincourt called "The
Christians Defense Against the
Fear of Death, found the stock
hang upon his hands. With
the tears of bankruptcy before his
eyes, he applied for assistance to
"unabashed Defoe," says the Book
Lover. That ingenious gentleman
devoted the extraordinary power of
verisimiltude which was afterward to
give the world Robinson Crusoe" to
observation-disclosures Mrs
Vale appeared to her neighbor the
day after her death. Among a host
of the most natural details, he insin-
uated a recommendation Of Drelin-
courts book at "the best on that sub
iect ever written 1t needed ghost

HAY fever
Not so Prevalent This Year an d
Many Former Sufferers
are Rejoicing.

Chronic sufferers from hay fever may
have good reasons for rejoicing this
year over the predictions of medical
experts. who say that the cause Of that
much dreaded disease has been re-
moved by the recent heavy rains
Confirmation Of the predictions l.
found on persons who are known to
tie medical profession as the June
patients" They escaped this year
the first season within the recollection
of those afflicted during that month.
The closing days of August are gem
orally the most dreaded. This is the
month when the pollen of the various
plants. especially ragweed. is blown
through the air, together with the dust,
producing in the victims an infiamma-
tion of the mucous membrane of the
nose and eyes and other symptoms
of bronchitis and asthma. Physicians
believe that the heavy rains have beat
en- the pollen of the ragweed into the
earth with such force that the winds
cannot resurrect it.

Chicago. Aug. 18. The Elgin
Creamery company. which operates 1875
creameries throughout Illinois, Iowa,

The American Trust and Savings
bank was appointed receiver and its
bond fixed at 100000.
!, Just before the United States court
closed Saturday petition in bank

was filed with the clerk Of the court
and was then taken before Referee
Sidney c. Eastman, who entered the
order for the appointment of a receiv-
er. The
ASSETS OF THE COMPANY
are claimed to be $500. 900, while the
liabilities are estimated at $350.00O.
Inability to realize on outstanding ac-
counts Is given as the cause for the
failure.
The Elgin Creamery company is
the largest concern of its kind In the
United States and was organized by
the consolidation of scores Of inde-
pendent plants throughout the coun-
try. It's authorized capital stock is
100000. OF this amount SITS, 900 is
outstanding and paid out.
The receiver Immediately took pos

sent out at the same time the agents

were generally thought to be in Q

The Advertiser Said SO,

A special dispatch to the Times
Democrat states that the Hey
woods have found paying quanti-
ties Of oil at Anse La Bntte, and
further that their wells there are
equally as good as their Jennings
wells. Also that they intend to
equip their wells at once, and store
the oil as fast as it is produced. A
movement is also on foot to build
a pipe line to Lafayette.
The Advertiser last week ex-
pressed its firm belief that large
quantities of oil had been found al
Anse La Butte. The above dis
patch confirms what we said.
