held that Olive Stokes. By drawing on the
company for money had by inference in
dorsed the lease she gave in her minority
after she became of age. and that, there
fore she must make that lease good.
Poor Opinion Of oil Crowd.
She has an allotment Of $50 acres of
good oil property near Bartlesville. from
which she collects a monthly royalty. As
every book sold means a royalty fof the
author, so does every gallon OF oil taken
from the Stokes allotment mean a royalty
for the fair owner Of II.
Besides the l60-acre allotment. she con-
trolls 4se0 acres Of oil property by lease
from the tribesmen Of her blood. Most Of
this property is being developed. and de-
veiopment Is followed by more royalties
for the princess.
No wonder she has decided to take a
European trip. Why shouldn't she?
The princess has a poor opinion Of John
D Rockefeller. This opinion applies more
particularly to the Rockefeller representa-
tives. She charges that John D. Rookie
Teller met the expenses Of his recent Eu-
ropean trip by cutting the purchase price
OF oil at the wells in Indian Territory and
other points in the Southwest John D.
may not have paid his expenses in this
way. but the fact remains. the princess
asserts. that year ago oil brought $50
r barrel at the Indian Territory wells.
while after Rockefeiler's return the price
was reduced 20 ~ cents a barrel
The princess says the oil producers Of
the Indian Territory are absolutely de-
pendent upon the Standard OIL Company.
The Standard Is the purchaser. There is
no other outlet. This statement may be
taken as true, inasmuca as H. Clay Pierce
said practically the same thing under
oath.
The princess says she has never seri-
ously contemplated matrimOny.

TIPPING IN FAR JAPAN.
Hotel Proprietor Gets Biggest Fee
Because Charges Are Low.

From The New York Sun
If our hotel keepers should ever be
told of the Japanese method of tipping
We would all have to take TO the woods. e.
said "A Far Eastern traveller. In a Japa-
nese hotel you give the proprietor the big
gest tip Of all when leaving. and grade
the other tips accordingly.
When your bill is handed to You it is
customary to wrap up in a separate piece
Of paper an amount approximating about
one-ffth of the whole account and give
that TO the worthy innkeeper, together
with the regular amount required of you
by his account, which you inclose in the
folded bill Then You wrap up smaller
sums in smaller pieces of paper and par
eel these Christmas packages out among
the servants who have waited on you.
This tip to the boniface is called
chodai, or tea money, and the japanese
explain its usage after this manner of
reasoning:
YAH hotel charges in Japan are forced
by law to be very low. so that even the
very poor man who finds himself on the
road at night can get food and shelter
for nominal sum. The rich man has 10
pay no more than the beggar.
Since the hotel man could not make
living if this order of things were al
lowed TO exist. without some saving
grace, some recomDensc must be made
to the hotel keeper for his enforced gen
crosby. Therefore. If a guest can well
afford to give the host something more
than he asks he not only provides Tor
those less fortunate than himself but he
tends himself against the evil day when
he may have to ask q beggar's board
and bed. II is not charity TO the inn
keeper. but merely provision against pos
sible hard times.
But If a man whom the worthy host
believes 10 be well able TO afford a gen
erous chodai leaves the hotel without pay
ing the same. woe betide him should he
ever return 10 that hosiery again. lie

The fair examines had said nothing
about their agreement to pass the ex-
animation and then jilt Haynes-so the
town for the time being took it for
granted that they ali wanted TO marry
Haynes.
The results of the examination were
posted late in the afternoon, and the
crowd cheered when 1t was announced
that Miss Tatum was the winner. Every
body was pleased. except. perhaps, Miss
Tatum and Mr.. Haynes. for Miss Tatum
confesses TO forty-three years. and is tail
and cher enemies say very thin. But
Haynes was game. He called on Miss
Tatum that same evening and formally
proposed marriage. He was rejected. but
he departed with a light heart, never was
there a rejected sutton who departed as
happy as he. He called on Miss Rouse,
who distinctly was possible for she
was only twenty-three and pretty and
plump and jolly. But she. true TO her
vow, rejected Haynes Immediately.
The next few days were busy ones for
Haynes and exciting ones in CiatOn.
Open charges were made that certain per

judges had shown discrimination and

Married Widow at Last.
The fact that three maids and three
widows had failed IN the examination,
while only one widow had passed. was the
cause of many laughs and jeers, and
when finally the secret was revealed that
the girls had agreed TO take the examina-
ton and then reject Haynes. the whole
town reared. Whether Haynes skipped
any Of the examines or not Is not known.
None Of them dare complain even il he
did-and each asserts she rejected him.
The Monday morning after the exami-
nation Claton, still laughing was as
founded to hear of the engagement OF
MI Haynes TO Elrs. Bella Brandt, the
pTettiest young widow in town. Mrs
Brandt had taken the examination, and,
liz was unomcially announced had fin
ished with a grade OF g. The women
were angry. They declared Mrs Brandt
had broken her promise. She was ap-
preached on the subject and said:

Regulating Bakers.

Bakers in France are subjected to
certain unusual rules and regulations.
In large fortified towns, for instance,
they must always have a certain
stock on hand in case of war Not
only this, but everywhere they have
to deposit a sum of money in the
Hands of the municipal authorities as
a surety of good conduct; and the
law, not content with merely looking
after their weights and measures, &C.
tually decides the price at which
bread is sold.
