Successful scheme That Was Worked

"One of the cleverest gratis I ever
saw was worked the other day in a
quick lunch restaurant OH Park row."
said the Observer. II noticed two men
talking earnestly just below the place
as was going in to get my lunch. One
OF them followed me in and took q seat
just below me at the table. A few Sec
onds later the other entered and took a
seat just opposite his friend, whom he
did not appear to know. The first man
ordered very extensive dinner COM
mencing with soup and ending with
charlotte russo and coffee. He got the
very best that the place could afford
and his check for $1.35 was placed in
front of him. The other man took his
time about ordering. taking corned
beef and beans-10 cents worth. His
check was placed in the center of the
table, between the two men.
Number one ate hastily and finished
first. He got up, put on his hat and
then calmly picked up the ten cent
check that belonged to his friend
Without turning hair he went to the
desk, paid 10 cents and walked out. A
few minutes later number two, who
had been reading the paper, prepared
to leave and took up the remaining
check. He appeared greatly surprised
and called the waiter. asking for an
explanation. There was nothing for the
knight of the napkin to do but give the
man new ten cent check. as it was
very evident that he had not eaten
$1.35 worth of food. suppose that the
two met outside and at the next place
visited number two got the square"

HOLDING a CIGAR.

81O1ASo IN Name Character the Act
!. r. said 60 Disclose.
Did you ever notice the different
ways. men hold cigars or cigarettes
Did you ever observe how you yourself
hold one2
There are about dozen different
ways, and probably no two men hold
their cigars exactly alike.
A Judge Of human nature may pich
up interesting points as to character
from watching smokers.
One man will hold his cigar firmly
between thumb and forefinger. He is
usually a resolute, tenacious man
strenuous or merely phlegmatic, as the
case may be, but never lazy. His fin.
gers are stumpy.
Another man holds the cigar loosely
between his first and second fingers.
He is apt to be graceful, lazy, irreso-
lutte, man of artistic temperament,
but not hustler. His fingers are long
and tapering.
A third man will carry his cigar with
the lighted end turned in toward the
palm, the hand held scoop shape around
1t. He picked up that trick when
smoking on the sly as boy, fearing
papa might break suddenly into the
game. He is usually of secretive ma
ture ami not marked by any special
tendency to frankness.
A fourth will hold his cigar awk-
wardy, nervously gripping it and often
staring ut it inquisitively to see how it
is burning. He is not natural smok-
err" nor is he apt to be what is known
as good fellow" He is usually anx-
ious to conciliate others and has not
gre;lt force of character
Watch the man behind the cigar and
see if all these character drawings are
not correct.-New York World.

The Weather and Crops.

The following report regarding the
weather and crop prospects was issued
by the U. S. Weather Bureau at Seat.
tie for the week ending Monday, the
9th:
Spring-like weather has finally sr.
rived, and the past week was the
warmest and most favorable to growth
there has yet been this season. The
rainfall in the fore part and the latter
part part of the week was copious,
while there were three fine days in the
middle OF the week, which afforded an
excellent opportunity for farm work
including potato planting and making
gardens. Great impetus was given to
the growth of vegetation by the warm
sunshine. Grass has taken a good
start and pastures are much improved.
Winter wheat which was found to
have been badly frozen out in some
localities, so as to require resolving,
has begun to make progress. The
early sown spring wheat is we'll up and
growing nicely. The spring seeding,
although well advanced toward COM
pletion generally, will not be entirely
finished in the late localities for week
or more. The conditions of soil and
weather could not be more favorable
for such work, and although the spring
is SO late, it is thought that the pros
pect for all crops is excellent. Fruit
trees, with the exception Of apples and
late prunes, are in general bloom, and
the light frosts Of the week have done
no material injury.

AN IDEAL JUDGE.
y. Y. Mnrlh

Justice Amos Nj. Thaver of the
Eighth Circuit Court of the Unite d
States, whose opinion in the Northern
Securities case has made his name q
household word, is a rare example of
the judicial character, training and
temperament.
From personal knowledge extending
over thirty years, beginning when, as
young man, Justice Thayer was first
elected to the bench in St. Louis, we
can say that a more ideal Judge can
hardly be imagined. Justicrs have Of
ten been named in reward for partisan
political services; members OF the Su.
preme Court, and even Chief Justices
have been so honored. Bnt Justice
Thayer never rendered any partisan
service; he loves the law, lives for the
law, thinks of the law, and has no d.
versions, passions or pleasures except
the intellectual enjoyment of arduous
duty uprightly performed.
Justice Thayer's surroundings are
evidence of his fairness. His intimate.
and associates are unquestionably in
terested in corporations, as most men
OF means are nowadays. He probably
never meets a Socialist or even pro
fessional politician socially. He is
simply Judge, knowing and giving
the law.
And we'll it is for the country that
there are such men, quiet, silent, re
Elective, weighing their words, bori
with the judicial temper, the lcga
mind Indifferent to politics or public
clamor, to do Justice in accord with
the letter and the spirit of the Law
without prejudice or preference.

ANOTHER CURE FOR CoNsuMpTION.-
Another new cure for consumption
has been discovered. 1t is inhalation
of vapor produced by heating a mix.
ture of eucalyptus oil, sulphur and
charcoal, and it is claimed that practi-
cal tests have given better results than
from serum, open.air treatment, or any
other device so highly recommended.
Robt. Schneider, druggist in Berlin,
conceived the idea while travelling in
Austria where the eucalyptus tree
grows luxuriantly in some places. He
noted that in these localities tubercu.
losis was practically unknown, and
when he returned to Berlin he COM
municated his idea to Prof. Sommer-
field, physician of much repute, who
experimental in several hospitals with
marked successfully GO per cent. OF
his patients being completely cured.
The inhalation of the vapor, it is said,
kills the bacilli.

DR.. Wiley i demonstrating theory

should have been chosen for this ser
vice is not stated, and it may be that

may afford better record than those
accepted from the masses Of humanity.
DR.. WIley's experiments arc conducted
with the greatest secrecy, but it is I'M
possible to keep the general object or
apparent results from the public. A
dozen or more OF these youth are taken
from the Agricultural Department,
and they have been for several months
subject to the diet prescribed 10y the
doctor to determine the special effects
of borax and other chemicals on pre-
pared food. 1t has developed within
the past fortnight that all the students
subject to this regimen are taking on
pink complexion. Their checks are
gradually assuming 4 hue so dclicatcly
rosy as to excite the envy OF even the
fair sex, who have to resort to art in
stead of an appeal to nature for the
beautiful tint which Jules Verne at
tributes to the inhabitants of Mars, in
one of his transcendental romances.
Ii it is the borax in their food that is
having this marked effect. DR.. Wiley
has never intimated as much, or that
it may not be the result OF some other
drug compounded in his up-to-date

is expected that while the solitary
drink will reduce to minimum the
baleful results of drunkenness, it will
lead many to abandon the habit en-
tirely, for as the finest cigar is said to
lose its flavor when smoked in the
dark, SO the effects of the alcoholic
stimulant will be incomplete and un.

Race Decadence.

President Roosevelt is not the only
one who sees national decadence in
the smaller families that now cluster
around the average American fireside,
and the increasing prcpOnderance OF
children OF foreign parentage. Mr..
Mr.. Weston, a writer for the Nineteenth
Century, shows by the statistical re.
cords that, in Massachusetts, there are,
in total population OF 100000, in
round numbers, I,743,000 of foreign
birth and parentage. In Illinois, the
grand total of 4,S21O00 population
shows 9G6,747 foreign citizens and
l,i9S,0O0 OF foreign parentage. In
California the proportion of American
children by native parents is still less.
Mr.. Weston's compilations show that
in this country the foreign birth-rate
stands four to one against the births
by native parents, and he shows there
by tina. it has become the rule for our
families to decline as they are more
and more removed from foreign origin.
He ailirms that not even in France,
where the matter has assumed an i'm
portance that has enlisted considera
ton of the deepest thinkers for devils
ing some means of checking the evil,
is parallel to be found for race retro
erosion as in this country. He quotes
as probable truth from the Popular
Science Monthly the statement that,
+" we have not so many people as we
should have had, had immigration not
come to us and the native stock con-
tinued their old rate OF increase"
There is no doubt but that homo
