New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1904-05-11

There is really a great deal of
humor in the far-fetched attempts of
the Duan papers to say something bet
ter of their candidate for governor
than may be said of Judge Collins.
The truth is the choice does not lie so
much in what either man has or has
not done but in the personal character
of the candidates and their executive
ability and in this respect Mr.. Collins
has left Mr.. Dunn several laps in the
rear

It begins to look as though nothing
could stop Mr.. Hearst from being the
choice of the democrats of this state
for the nomination of president. He
seems to be too much for the New York
machine.

NO TIPS FOR HIS WATERS.
New York Restaurant Man Makes
Discovery-Then Came a Change
in His System. 4

"My walters get very few tips"
said a downtown restaurant man,
"and don't have to print notices
to my customers that they are not
expected to tip the waiter. 1t ia
really very simple and within the
power of a restaurant manager 10
stop the custom if he wants to do
So" says the New York Times.
"You see, when acustOmer tips
a waiter regularly he expects to
get extra service or to have His
check scaled down, and the res
taurant is beaten by the game. In
other words, the tipping of wait
ers took money out Of my pocket.
81 said nothing, but kept my
eyes open for a few days, and I
saw that it was in handing the
check to the customer that he
walters got their tips. When
they were doubtful Of q man taey
actually made him ask for his
check. That observation made it
simple.
"Without a word abOut tips I
made a rule that when a Gus.
toner was served the waiter
should Immediately lay down by
his plate the check for the amount
ordered and change it subsequent
ly if he ordered more. That left
no opportunity for the waiter to
dumbly suggest that his hand vas
open, and it made it easy for tha
customer to get away without civ.
ing a coin to the man who had
served him.
"In a week tipping had p%ractiC.
ally ceased in my restaurant and
the checks began to Increase TO
the right size. All paid for what
they got and others increased
their orders as soon as they we're
relieved Of paying tribute to the
waiter. 1t worked admirably and
helped my business. Restaurant
men are foolish rot to stop che
tipping imposition. They can do
It II they want to-"

VI TO THE s4lFTLEss
Hard Sense, If Persisted In, Will Over
come Hard Luck-Don't Tell
Your Troubles.

A very keen politician going
abroad for an extended tour ad-
yertised for a man to relieve him
of the smaller worries of travel
ing, says the London Post. Here
duced the applicants TO one, and
was about to complete the nego-
tiatiOns when the fortunate per-
son began to tell him of his "a
reer, his ambitions, opportunities =
and misfortunes-ag hard
luck story. ThepOliticianlistened
for awhile.and then suddenly in
terpOsed: II find that / do not
want you" and when pressed for
his reason, added: 81 never hire
bad-luck people, especially the
kind who talk about it,
There seems to be an injustice
in this, and there doubtless is.
At the same time this politician
was a judge of men, or he would
not have been a successful pOliti-
elan. Most persons who have
achieved success are obliged to lis
ten to bad-luck stories, despite
their efforts to avoid hem. The
main reason the modem merchant
or manager protects himself with
a guard Of doOrkeepeps and ante
rooms is to escape callers who
want to take up his time by mar.
ratives of their misfOgtunes.
Every large center of p0pula-
ton has its army of bad-luck suf-
ferers, and among them are men
of education, men who are almost,
but not quite, strong enough to
reach success. Their point of
view is out of compass, their bear
ings are wrong; their attitude is
that some one who has succeeded
must make amends for their own
shortcomings. These unfortun-
ates ire probably the most hope
less persons in the wOrld-hOpe-
less not so much in their own
ideas as in the possibilities OF
their reformation. When a man
places his own inadequacy on i'll
luck he is nOt'worth anything to
anybody-not even to himself.
Luck is the tide, nothing more
The strong man rows with it if il
makes toward his port. He row,
against it if it lows The other
way. Fair or foul, food or cbb, hi
rows. And the world has very lit
tie time to waste on the man whC
. complains that the tide did no.

Market Letter.

Ksnsas City, Mo-, Wednesday, April
is, 1904. The large supply of beet

cattle trade. Quality of fat cattle his

Too many cattle have been marketed

steers have brought up TO S4 80 hut
most sales of light catt.e are at 1920
to $3.50. Cows and heifers are about
as good as last week in price, and de-
mand for all kinds of butcher stuff is
never lacking. Cows and belters sell
at So. so 10 APO with exceptions high

cept choice light stockers. which find
ready sale, indicating a general desire
to stock spring pastures with good
stuff. The large corps of spectators
here quickly eats up the moderate sup
ply of stockers and feeders coming at
this season. Export bulls are slow,
butcher weights active and strong,
veal calves a little lower.
Hogs renamed steady last three days

day since recent declines begun. Tor

Light weights have lost some Of the

Fire in Gas Office.

Wednesday afternoon at about 8
o'clock a fire started in the rear end
of the room on Main street occupied
as an office by the Gas & Electric Co.
The fire started in a pile Of loose
waddiDg used for calkiDg joints in
gas pipes. This waddiDg is highly
inflamable and before the fire depart
ment could arrive the blaze had
reached such a point that the promise
was for a very disastrous fire. The
prompt action Of the,tife department
however, checked the flames before
they had become beyond control and
the loss was comparatively small.
