How the Waiter Lost a Tip.

At one Of the Kansas City hotels
where the colored walters give espe-
clally good service, but always expect
adequate remuneration for the same
from the guests. waiter was espe-
cially officious the other day in serv-
ing a man from whom he expected a
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 brothah heah last
week, sah?"
NO" said the one addressed, II be-
iieve not"
"Well." continued the waiter, "theh
was gem'man heah at nah table
what looked ve'y much like you, and
he was so well pleased with the serv-
ice that he gave me 80 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
my brother that was here, and guess
he paid you for the whole family. He
may be back again in week or two"

a country paper during campaign
times and was printing fighting"
language every week. One day, just
after the paper was out, big man,
armed with club, walked into the
sanctum and fiercely inquired If the
editor was in. The frightened Brown
low had wit enough to answer that he
was not, but that he would go out
and hunt him up. He started for the
street and at the foot OF the stairs
met another irate fellow, who asked:
will l find the editor OF this dirty
sheet upstairs?" Yes" said Brown
low, "he's up there at his desk just
itching for fight" The second man
went up and Brownlow disappeared.

WORLDS FAIR FAR BEYOND EXPECTATIONS
Verdict of New York Writer Who Spent Week
Exposition at St. Louis in July

The Worlds Fair at st. Louis is
now in the midst of its splendid sea-
son. Colossal, complete, cosmopoli-
tan, it commands the attention of the
world as no other enterprise of the
present year. From all nations there
are pilgrims coming to this shrine,
and from all our states and territories
there is constantly growing throng
OF visitors. United States Senators,
Governors of States, men eminent in
science, art and letters-all express
unqualified admiration for the Exposi-
too and free acquiescence in the oft
repeated statement that this is by far
the greatest and best universal expo
sition ever held.
During July well-known magazine
and newspaper writer from New York,
Mr.. Addison Steele, spent week at
the Worlds Fair, inspecting the
grounds, buildings and various attrac-
tions as thoroughly as was possible in
that limited period. Returning home,
Mr.. Steele published in Brooklyn

there are in this district Of country at
the present time. it is hard to say, as
there are no positive statistics available.
1t is known, however, that the country
is settling up fast.
Englishmcn and Americans in the
western territories are bringing in their
herds as fast as they can IN leasing
or purchasing land in lots from 1000 to
10000 acres from the Dominion Govern
ment. An idea of the growth of the in
dustry will. however. be gathered from
the fact that in 1899 there were but
41,471 head of cattle shipped and sold
from the ranches. these figures ran to
30. 100 in 1900, and to 100000 in 1903,
averaging $40 per head for the owners.
But it takes a great many ranchers and
a large number of cattle to cover an urea
of 2OO,OO0,OOO acres, the area available
for ranching in the Canadian Northwest.
1t is not at all necessary that large
investments should he made at the out
set. Many men commenced with small
capital and small herds, and nave worked
themselves into large herds and great
