MUST NOT MARK UNCLE SANS MONEY.

Chief Wllk1e, of the secret service, has run
down another money mystery. Some time ago the
subtreasurer at Chicago discovered that all the
bills of large denominations coming from the col
lector of customs at Detroit bore the names of
business firms in ink The statutes distinctly pro-
hlbit the printing, writing impressing of any
characters any of Uncle Sans money. Agents
of Mr.. Wilkie visited Detroit where these big bills
from, but it time before any clew
obtained to the party who did the writing
the money.
1t was noticed that the writing all in the
same hand and that bills of less than $50
marked with the names of the business firms. At
last the mystery cleared up. A clerk one
of the importing concerns at Detroit happened to
remember that when he made payment at the

SINGER CHARMS A KING
Mary Garden, American Prima Donna,
to Be Honored by Gre
clan Monarch

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, Aug. 4.-King George of
Greece, who is due in Paris soon, has
expressed a desire to meet Mary Gar
den. the prima donna of the Opera
Comique, and If possible hear her sing
the role of Aphrodite, which she has
made famous.
The king and the young American
singer have been acquainted some
years, Miss Garden having been sum-
moned to appear before many royalties.
But the monarchs especial delight in
her most recent triumph lies in the fact
that by her charming Greek draperies,
quaint jewels and her poses of appar-
emily unstudied grace, she has revived
Hellenic art with a furore among the
Parisians. He will confer some signal
honor upon her in recognition of his
appreciation, undoubtedly will decorate
her and it is thought may induce her
to visit Athens, there to present the
opera on what may be regarded as it's
native heath.

FIX A SCALE OF TIPS
Swiss Caterers Blame Americans for
Present High Rate of
Gratuitiea
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Aug. 4.-Swiss hotel pro-
prietors and boarding house keepers
met the other day to arrange a scale
of tips for the guidance of visitors, and
decided on a per cent basis.
The scale of gratuities has risen tre-
mendously during the last few years.
owing, it is said, to the invasion of
Switzerland by uninitiated Americans
who distribute largesse on the home
scale, not realizing that the cost of
living is far cheaper in the Alps than
in cities of the United States.
Ten years ago the tip tariff averaged
per cent. Now it is often nearer %
per cent, and tends constantly to in
crease. It is claimed that the tips to
various servants sometimes almost
equal the landlords bill. The landlords
hope that by establishing a fixed tariff
they will attract more visitors to the
country, and that while their own
pockets will benefit thereby the SER
wants will be recouped by the greater
number of tips

IT ALWAYS PAYS
TO BE HONEST

There is IA natural spirit of 10y
atty in the American p"ople-a
quality of mind and hract which
recognizes the good i'll man 5
character and insists upon giving
credit where credit is due. No
matter what backbiters may do
no matter how they may stab in
the back the American people,
being able TO distinguish between
right and wrong, are alert to
recognize the stalwart citizen, the
man who stands for and defends
his honor and their interests.
The election in this county ex-
emplifies this. Practically the
fight in Conejos county was against
Fred Warshauer. No matter what
the alleged issues presented by the
independents, the real animus of
the campaign was personal one,
directed against Mr.. Warshauer,
because they claimed he controlled
the political situation.
And that American spirit Of
loyalty, of honesty, and OF decency,
came to the front last Tuesday.
Not single Independent candi-
date was elected in the county

the peace.
