THE STEWARD GETS HIS.

The janitors' graft is in the aggregate very

steward would run into the thousands. There Is
many a hotel and club that suffers from this
form of depreciation. The stewards demand d
regular commission from the wine merchant OF
10 per cent of the amount of the bill They go
TO the wine merchants and say to them in plain
terms: y want so-and-so and so-and-so. and
so-and-so Now how much is there in it for

And the most surprising part of it is that the
merchants give up One would think that pro-

A FERTILE FIELD.

But the automobile is where the graft par
excellence lies now. There is always a certain
class of men in the community who live by their
wits-that is to say, they live by hoodwfnking
their fellows, and these men usually
equipped with an irrepressble flow of language.
When the automobile came along, with its store
of technicalfties. their grand opportunity was
placed before them, and many of them qualified
as automobile experts in the shortest possible
time. In some cases II seemed a matter Of

smiles that they are greeted and paid their

ton, automobile owners suffer from the old, old
form OF petty graft on supplies. Each chauffeur
has his favorite supply shop, and any materials
bought at other shops are sure TO prove unsatis-

one person can make them for your particular
