BOSTON WALTERS GROW RICH.
Neglected Woman Declares Husband
Gets Generous Tips Every Week.

From the Boston Post.
A veteran woman in petitioning for a
divorce from her husband, who is walt
err, has caused some little stir by affirm
ing that her spouse receives $26 per week
in tips while he is at work
The woman AYERS in her petition that
her husband received 81 week in one
place, 50 in another one, and got $26 on
the side. She further alleged that her
husband had put away in a prominent
bank the sum of 1920 which she asks
that he shall be enjoined from drawing
out.
Investigation among the walters of Bos-
ton reveals the fact that a good waiter
might make as much this in tips, or
even more. 1t all depends upon where he
is, who he is. what his disposition may be,
and what sort of customers he may hap
pen to walt upon.
For instance, il he happened to have a
good station in some one of the big down.
town restaurants, he might make from 81
to IS extra each day in fees. OF course,
he would not make so much were he in
the suburbs or in some of the cafes that
are not patronized by the wealthy. Take
the Whipple hotels, for instance. The head
waiter at one of them there says some
of his walters would make $26 or even
more in fees during the winter season
when the theatres were running in full
blast.

play is hard for an Englishman to under

Mr. Robertson interrupted at this point
by saying: Failures are caused by
strange actors and by strange phases The
Englishman is rather peculiar in his at
tachment for stage favorites. If he likes
a player he wants to see him year after
year. American actors come over one
season, and when they return some years
after they wonder why no one goes to see
them. London playgoers will consent to
be bored by bad play rather than neg
lect good actor. On the contrary, they
frequently spurn an excellent drama when
interpreted by an unknown player. Amer
lean playwrights make the mistake too
often of giving us dialogue replete with
Americansms. and then they wonder why

That expresses it perfectly. When Eng

are adapted for American comprehension.

THRILLING ADVENTURE

Cross Fork PENN Cor. Philadelphia
Record.
Sadie McMackin, the 15-year-old daugh-
ter of a farmer residing in the New Ber-
gen district, had a terrifying experience
last Tuesday night She had gone alone,
at 4:S0 o'clock in the afternoon, to fetch
the cows from a natural pasture in a SUI
gar maple grove, nearly a mile from the
house. Among the eight cows that con-
stituted the drove were two black heifers,
both undersize. The girl caught the sound
of the bell on the wether COW, and started
on a shortcut across the corner of deep
woods that ran for miles beyond the ma
pie grove.
When in the thick of the timber she
spied what she at first supposed to be
one of the understood black heifers browz-
mig among the bushes. An instant later,
however, when she was barely only a rod
away, the animal Strengthened up, and
the girl found herself face to face with
monster black bear.

Napoleon's GenerOs1ty.

Count de P. had been raised by Bo- naparte to honors and dignities, but for some unaccountable reason he be trayed the confidence which his patron had reposed in him. When Bonaparte became cognizant of the mans treach- cry he ordered him to be arrested. He was to have been tried the following day and in all probability he would have been condemned, as his guilt was fully established. In the meantime Mme de P. solicited and obtained an audience of the emperor.
 "I am very sorry for your sake. ma dame," he said, that your husband should be mixed up in an affair which places his ingratitude in so glaring light"
 Perhaps he is not so guilty as your majesty supposes," said the countess.
 Do you know your husbands sigma ture?" inquired the emperor, taking letter out of his pocket and handing it to her.
 Mime. de F. rapidly perused the let ter. recognized the handwriting and fell into swoon. When she came around Bonaparte put the letter into her hands. saying:
