C. Meeker, OF this town, a son OF Mar
tin Meeker, says there Is no truth IN
a Cleveland story to the effect that
the body OF an unidentified tramp was
buried as that Of his father. Meeker
says that he ard his brother, g. N.
Meeker, Of Owensburg. KY. went to
Cleveland, identified positively the
body OF their father, and took 1t to
Batavia, ILL.,, where they were met
by their sisters, and the burial was
held.
Martin Meeker had invested money
In sanitorium at Greenwood, Ill, and
was interested with two sisters nam
ed Heck, in its management. Margaret
Heck and her sister assert the property
was a gift, and say they will not sur.
render 1t to the Meeker heirs unless orr
dered to do 80 by the courts. The
Cleveland story is said to have grown
out OF this prospective litigation.

"A pleasant incident of the pchurious
days Of Henri Murger, the author of
the famous Vie de Boheme," ID relat-
ed by French writer. Murget when
Min the extreme OF povnrty was one
day invited to party at the house of
a publisher at which 1t was of,great
Importance that he should be present.
Unfortunately he possessed onli one
suit OF clothes, which was in th9 last
stage of shabbiness. He therefore ap-
pealed to a friend. who gloried IN the
posse Ssion Of two black coats--ond old,
the other new--to lend him one THE
friend, not overwllingly, lent HIM the
old one. It was too small for him ,and
very shiny at the seams, but by a pib-
eral use of ink he managed to MAKE it
pass muster, and attended the paIty.
Unfortunately the friend was thtre,
too, and in great anxiety over his cdat,
followed Murger about the room With
such remarks as "Don't stand so Up
right. You will split my coat" or "Ftsr
heavens sake, mind what you are dk-
ing with that coffee. You are splash
ing it all down the front of my coatE
Shortly afterward similar occasion
arrived. Murger determined that nothll
ing should make him apply for thg
same coat: Accordingly he went I'd
another friend and related the whole;
circumstance This friend willingly
lent him a new black coat which fitted
admirably. But matters We're not i'm
proved after all. for the lender was at
the party, and followed Murger every
where, exclaiming in tones of audible
good nature: do just what you like
with my coat old man. Tear it right
UP the back, or cover 1t with grease
Just as you like. shall never say a
word. whatever you may do with It.
Only too delighted to lend 1t to you"

Milwaukee, May 2.--No tips can be
given in Wisconsin. The anti-grnfi
bill recently passed by the Legislature
has been signed by Governor LaFoi-

be given to employees OF any firm BY
outsiders without danger OF arrest and

While the bill was aimed originally
at the practice OF paying commissions
to employees OF large stores or corpor-
ations whose Influence went a great
way in the purchase Of goods, It Is
held that 1t applies as well to tip CIV

as liable as person giving an employe
