How the Waiter Lost a Tip.


At one of the Kansas City hotels
where the colored walters give espe-
cially good service, but always expect
adequate remuneration for the same
from the guests, a waiter was espe-
cially officious the other day in serv-
ing a man from whom he expected
liberal tip. When the meal had been
served and he was standing OFF at one
side, eagerly looking for an opportu-
nifty to be of service, he said to the
guest:
Didn't yo' have a brothah heah last
week, sah?"
NO" said the one addressed, Il be-
iieve not
We'll" continued the waiter, "theh
was a gem'man heah at NAH table
what looked ve'y much like you, and
he was so well pleased with the serv
zee that he gave me so cents when he
left"
The guest had by this time finished
his meal, and as he arose he said to
the expectant servitor:
Come to think of it, Sam, that was
rcy brother that was here, and 1 guess
he paid you for the whole family He
may be back again in a week or two"

his wounded honor cries out for as

"Supposing we say tonight at the

The messenger bowed himself out,

he said. The only question is If he
will fight fair. l do not know what he
means the dark to cover, but in fair
fight you should have the advantage.
He is gross-wide as a haystack, and
he breathes like a porpolse. You are
not provided with pistols, 1 take it?"
81 never thought to have use for
them unless it might be to protect
myself against Frenzy the highway

Mine are at your SERVICE.

in my power to help you win the

Again their hands met and held
together for an instant.
At a quarter before midnight the
coach was at the door, with the physi-
clan whom Darcy had hidden to be
in attendance. They passed through
the lit hall of the club house, unob-
served. In the Oak Room they found
Claudius Gregg and his friend await
ing them. Having Invested them
selves of their cloaks, the seconds
spun COIN lot the TlSnt CT nrSt nr6.

The two men were then set facing

Landseer's Luggage.

Sir Edwin Landseer had a man
servant who evidently looked upon
his master as the greatest man in the
world, and even when Prince Albert
called, which he did occasionally
when riding up to ST. Johns woods, he
would be told that "Sir Hedwin was
hout," because the faithful Gerber
u.s. as he was called, thought his
master did not want to be disturbed.
There were other amusing stories
about the same valet. On one occa-
sion, when travelling to the north
with Sir Edwin, he was very anxious
about the luggage, and kept getting
out whenever the train stopped to see
if it was all right.
"what do you want?'' said the
guard.
sHow about the luggage?" said Ger
berus.
What luggage?"
'tWhy, two trunks as black as hink
and marked with hell"
Marked with what?"
why, hell for Landseer, of
course.''-From S. A. Storey's

Then again in the ground plans and
bird's-eye sketches-the only possible
manner of showing 1.-THE ran-shaped
arrangement of this group looked stiff
and unsatisfying. Far from that, it is
quite as remarkable in it's way as the
famous Court of Honor of the Column

even more notable, for instead of two
grand vistas it offers a dozen. The
main vista is, of course, the one look

GROWING feature is the great Louisi-
the Grand Basin to the Cascade Gar
Gens. On the right are the Varied In

cation, these-with Transportation and
Machinery still further to the right
and Liberal Arts and Mines beyond
at the left-making up the body of the
fan. For its handle the fan has the
Cascade Gardens-rising in a grand
terrace to a height of sixty-f1ve feet
above the floor level of the buildings
mentioned and crowned by the great
Festival Hall, the Terrace of States

the Fine Arts building directly behind.
The Pike has in the Tyrolean Alps
the finest concession that 1 have ever

He knows his fate, for Nora's balls
Are swift and sure as swallows.
His balls go tangled in the net:
His heart, escaped his keeping.

From Nora's brown eyes peeping.
What wonder that he serves so i'll,
This knight of rackets doughty.
For when he swearS he loves but one,
She jeers him: mo. love. forty,'
But I know Nora. have seen
Her eyes grow soft and tender.
Her cheeks flush rose Ger certain how-
OF which I knew the sender.
And though she f1outs and DULLES him.
No grain of mercy showing

That sends her home glowing.
Then what though tennis brings the lad
Such mingled bliss and trouble?

He'll make a different double

table followed the shot, but there was
no sound of a body falling.
Then Crosby French fired There
was groan, and a sound of some
thing beating itself against the floor.
Tom Darcy opened tho door and a
waiter entered with candles. Crosby
French was staring in stupefaction at
the smoking pistol in his hand, and
very pale. because Claudius Gregg's
shot had hit him in the right shout

-.Ah, and our friend, Mr.. Gregg, was
under the table, said Tom DARCY,
calmly. That was what he meant
by the duel in the dark. Let us be
going. His friend and the doctor
will see to him. 1 take it that even
if he can ever fire another shot Mr.
Claudius sGregg's honor is satisfied. :"
The other second was pouring out
assurances, with redder face than
usual, that he was not privy to his
principals design, while the waiter
and the physician were somewhere
under the table trying to ascertain
the nature of Claudius Gregg's in
juries. Nor until the physician had
declared that after all it was but a
flesh wound did the color come back
to Crosby French's face. Then he
consented at last to return to his
lodgings with Darcy.
There was not a handsomer couple
in all Ireland than Crosby French and
Mary L'Estrange made on their we'd
ding day. The viceroy himself came
to their wedding; but all that you
shall read in the memoirs of the day.

Why Birds Live Long.

Why do birds live SO much longer
than mammals, which are often hum
dred times their size? Possibly, among
other things, because they have beaks
instead of teeth All carnivorous
beasts become weak and liable to star
walton, as their teeth drop out or
break Neither are the herbivorous
animals in much better case Old
horses would probably die of starva-
ton if wild, for their teeth would fail
them; indeed, in some stony countries
old horses have to be killed because
their teeth are worn away by cropping
grass close to the rock Rodents con-
stantly die from injuries to teeth But
a birds beak neither wears out nor
drops on, and as it constantly swai-
lows fresh grit to aid in grinding 1000
in the gizzard that needs no repairing
either.

The duel was forced on Crosby
French for, although none ever
doubted his courage, he was non
fighting man. His father had killed
his own brother in a duel and was an
unhappy man till the day he died.
The man with whom he fought.
Claudius Gregg. was a fre-eater-by
profession, at least, for, although he
staggered a good deal, there was not
a duel to his account in which his ad-
versary had been able to shoot
straight He was a good shot himself,
but many people said that he had
forced his quarrels only on those who
were likely to be killed by him and
mot to kill him. There were other
things against him as well as the duel
ing which made him unfit for decent
company. Yet he had the presump-
ton to lift his eyes to Mary LES
TRANCE. and the wickedness to win
her consent to marry him by a trick
and a SANDER against the dead.
Any man of sense could have sifted
the story, and found it false; but Har-
vey L'Estrange's widow was gentle,
easily terrified woman. C1audius
,Gregg's promises to bestow much
money on her if she forwarded his
marriage with her daughter were re-
ceived with scornful amazement- 1t
was another matter when he produc-
ed the document which made Harvey
iL'Estrange, in his grave, liar,
cheat and a deceiver of women.
So, in terror of his publishing the
story to the world, the widow urged
the marriage on the girl yet in her
teens, guileless as a lamb, lovely as
an angel, gentle and innocently gay,
and charming in her whole DISPOSE
ton. And the girl consented to save
her dead fathers honor and her
mothers heart from breaking.
But, indeed. she looked like an An
.dromeda when Crosby French first be-
held her. And, when his eyes met
her eyes, it seemed to him that the
soul behind them cried out dumbly
to him for deliverance.
There was nothing sophisticated
IN him. as there was in the town gal
lants. since Re was newly come to
town. and it must be confessed that,
seeing Mary L'Estrange sitting OPP
posite him, with her purple-faced,
elderly lover by her side, at the sup
per table on the occasion of a Ro-
tunda ball, he stared more than good
manners warranted.
Nor was he aware at all Of Clau-
dius Gregg in his mulberry velvet
suit. his cheeks darker than usual be-
cause of anger. Then Claudius Gregg
stood up and flung the glass from
which he was drinking, wine and all,

doctor was sent for to see to
Crosby French's injuries, which seem
ID serious enough. The glass had
smashed on his face, cutting and
almost binding him.
Some benevolent person fetched a
coach. and. after his eyes had been
dressed and bandaged. he was driven
to his lodgings. There was some one

HAS FAD FOR PHOTOGRAPHS.
Thousands of Negatives Made For
Millionaire August Belmont.

Among rich Americans perhaps
none is so fond of being photographed
as August Belmont, James R. Keene
being a close second. One New York
photographer. whose patrons are most
1y wealthy men, has made thousands
of negatives for Mr.. Belmont in the
last few years. One OF the largest
SINGLE orders for prints from old mega
tives ever received by this photog-
rapher came from Mr. Belmont himself
soon after the death of his wife. 1t
included good print from every mega
tive in which Mrs. Belmont appeared.
The photographer never guessed how
many photographs he had taken for
Belmont till then; he found that they
numbered nearly a thousand
