~TIppiuu" In Europe.

According to immemorlal usage, Eu-
ropean servants are entitled to tips as
an assured part of their income. At
the hotels the theory is that the land
lord furnishes guest private room
and the use OF the public rooms, heat
and light, food and dishes, but not
menial service. For convenience he
keeps at hand corps of servants who
will respond to the guests summons,
but at bis expense. In old times trav-
elers were attended by their own serv-
ants to wait on them. The modern
custom echoes the ancient. The trav-
eler no longer carries with him a ret
inue of servants, because he can hire
temporarily those of the landlord. The
customary fees are the payment. To
avoid feeling is really to cheat the sery-
ants, who need all they can get, heav-
en- knows. A chambermaid at the best
hotels receives as wages only about 81
a month. Tipping servants in America
is a regrettable imitation of the Euro
pean custom without its resting on the
reasonable basis of the foreign institu-
tions.-Travel Magazine.

The game warden of Colorado was
walking out in the mountains on one
occasion when he met hunter with
his gun. The official suggested that
that ought to be a good country for
hunting. at certainly is" said the
hunter proudly. Il killed one Of the
finest bucks yesterday ever saw, and
he weighed over two hundred" 1t was
the season when deer may not be shot
without subjecting the hunter to
heavy fine. well, that is fine one"
said the warden, "and do you know
who you are talking to?" Being assur-
ed that he did not, the official said.

Colorado" The e>hunter was only taken
aback for a moment, when he asked,
"An' do you know who you are talk

"Well, SIR" said the hunter, appar-
emily much relieved, you are talking

WOOD PRICES TUMBLE.
Spokane Prices Arc Lower and Sup
ply Is More Plentiful.

The plentiful supply of cars for the
transportation of wood to the city
markets this fall has been a means
of forcing the prices of pine. fir and
tamarack wood to a lower standard,
says the Spokane Chronicle. In some
instances the dealers have dropped
their prices over a dollar per cord
on either of the different kinds OF
wood. At the present time the av-
erage price dt which fir and lamar
ack wood is offered is $3.50 per cord,
while the best pine wood may be-pur-
chased for 81 per cord Many of the
dealers have declined to make any
pronounced decline in any other
prices than that of rick wood. In
that the decline will average abOnt
25 cents per rick.
In the meantime the producer has
BEEN forced to sell his wood for
about 81 cheaper per cord. This
they refused to do until short time
ago, after all the wood yards of the
city were crowded with wood many
more carloads of fir, tamarack and
pine wood was received in the city
and practically no offer was made
for the same. This. the dealers. say.
is what they were waiting for and as
soon as that was done they reduced
the retail price of wood already in
the yards.
Wood is being cut much cheaper
this season than it was last year at
this time. wood dealers say. This. be-
ing the case it is presumed that with
ample means of transportation. wood |
will be placed on the market at |
more moderate price next year.

The English were dismayed by. the fall OF

showed himself to be good man and true.
Seeing his comrades waver, he called out to

William was for darting out again to seek
them, but George clutched his arm (for words
were useless in such din) and pointed to

her, the captain rushed out into the storm

they were, how was he to reach them or to
make them hear?
Suddenly thought struck him. His last
gift to poor Jim had been a silver whistle like
that which hung at his own neck, and fer
days past they had been amusing themselves
by answering each others calls from dis
tance.
He blew with all his might, and the shril
note, which sounded clear above the roar Of
the storm, was family answered, Fearing
that it might be only an echo, he tried again
with peculiar call which he had taught Jim
two days before. The call was repeated note

His hands bled, his limbs ached, but still

a gang of his brothers negroes coming up
the hill to help him.
When the ruins were cleared away they
found the two children crouching unhurt in
a corner, protected by two or three beams
which had formed a kind of arch over them.
