The Pygmies Of Africa.

1.-THE pygmies of Africa" says DR..
Cell, the traveller, "are the most dam
gerous savages ever met. They are
quick, very warlike. and the women
fight as hard as the men. They are ex-
perts in poisons, which they use to adj
vantage against their enemies. | think
there has been some confusion in the
past between pygmies and dwarfs. The
latter are found for the most part in
the little forest and on the outer edge
Of the great forest whereas the pyg-
mics are well within the great forest.
Pygmies and dwarfs are distinct in
physiognomy.
Entering the great forest from the
south end Of the mountains of the
Moon, after crossing the Semliki grass
lands, I came across the pygmies in
about three days journey. 1t is Gu
rious fact that the pygmies pitch their
camps within about half days jour-
ney Of the big savages-the giant saw
ages, as they are called. Although ]
had to sleep fully armed, was never
attacked. =
ut has been my invariable rule to
treat natives as gentlemen. l find that
the greatest savage appreciates kind
ness and consideration. In my journey
through the forest I used compasses
to guide me. The pygmies can find
their way by simply looking at the
trees. They are a wonderful race, &C.
tive and intelligent"

An English trader who invaded the

THE TIPPING HABIT.


Punctuate the Evil.
The inconsistencies of tipping are
discussed by noted New York judge
in an interview in the New York
World. He says: did you ever stop
to think how queer it is that we tip a
man who gives us food and yet never
tip the man who gives US drink? We
tip the waiter, but who has the nerve
or the desire to tip bartender except
by Offering him drink or one OF his
own cigars? And even that sort of
treat is never offered to bartender
who is not also an acquaintance. Yet
why should the waiter get tip when
the bartender doesn't? Then, too, we
give the barber a ten cent tip with
our fifteen cent shave Ia tip, by the
way, aggregating &C % per cent Of the
real purchase). and yet we hand over
not one single penny when we buy our
fifteen cent cigar. A messenger boy
delivers note some time during the
same day it is given him, and he gets
a quarter for his speed But the post
man who delivers our regular mail
promptly to the very minute gets not
a penny except at some such season
as Christmas. The cabman who gets
mortgage on your house for carrying
you from the Flatiron building to Her
aid square also expects circular seq
ment of silver as reward for not kill
ing you during the trip, but man
who would give trolley conductor an
extra nickel for remembering to stop
at the right corner and helping the
whole family to alight would be
thought crazy. If we must tip, why
not be consistent? Why not either
stop feeling the waiter, the barber, the
messenger boy and the cabman or else
begin tipping the conductor, the bar
tender, the cigar man, the clerk, the
newsboy, the T. train guard, the gro
Ger, the ash man and a few of the
! other worthless upon whom we are
more or less dependent? If man
from some country where tipping is
unknown Gf SO blissful bourn ex-
ists) should come to Manhattan and
ask us to explain our tipping system
its limitations and the reason for
those limitations-is there man in
all New York who could give any
sort of explanation that would not be
an insult to gorilla's intelligence?"

1t was rumored the former president and
wife would spend some three weeks at
Arbor Lodge. This they denied yesterday,
emphatcally.
Though he strictly drew the line on be-

sion TO say of this, his furthest trip west:
II am simply amazed at the greatness
and progress of the west, apparent on
every hand. l could not have realized 1t
without seeing IL. l am delighted with my
visit"
When the good-szed crowd was taking
advantage of the informal reception at
the spacious and elegant Arbor Lodge be-
fore the exercises, many asked where the
ex-president was Presently Mrs. Cleve-
land, who had gone upstairs to find him,
came down by his side and remarked:
Here he is. l found him up there rest
ing"
The former president saw several promi-
nent Nebraskans he knew and greeted
them cordially But he had little TO say
to anyone except In the private of his
retirement when DR. George l.. Miller and
other old friends were chatting with him.
This renewal OF old friendship he seemed to
enjoy.
Mr.. Paul Morton had been asked to ar
range for the newspaper photographers to
get some views of Mr.. and Mrs, Cleveland
as well as some of the others Mrs Cleve-
land, in her charming manner, very gra-
ciously yielded this concession and walked
! with Mr.. Morton out upon one Of the wide
verandas and was photographed, then
again on the ground.
A picture had been taken of the eX-presi-
dent, but the photographers were anxious
for another one, so he came out. rather
reluctantly and. as he took his place with
his three cabinet officers dryly remarked
It suppose we are now In the gun. These
fellows can't get enough Of this, but ]
guess we will give them another trial"
Then Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland came out
TO get in their carriage and a photographer
politely tripped up TO the former first
woman OF the land and asked II they might
have another picture.

with enough emphasis to carry meaning

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE MONUMENT

Figure and Base Cost About Thirty
Thousand Dollars.
1T is simply fine" was Paul Morton's
comment on his fathers statue.
This is the first bronze statue to be
erected in Nebraska. The figure is about
eight feet tall. 1t is intensely characteristic.
The cost of the figure alone was $4,000. 1t
was cast in Paris. and the granite base
and bench, or sort of palisade of crescent
shape, are estimated to have cost another
$4,000. They came from Rhode Island.
The sculptor was Rudolph Evans, who was
born in Washington. d. c.. in 1878. He is
friend of Joy Morton and now resides in
New York.
