Appetites Of Strangers.

A waiter who always endeavored to
give the best possible service to his
customers supplemented an order to
the kitchen attendants with the re-
quest for "a little extra in each dish.'
They don't ask me for an extra allow
ance." he said. "in fact, they didn't
know enough TO ask for 1t. but | could
see that their appetites would be equal
to the supply. That is because they
are strangers here. Newcomers In
any restaurant or boarding house
always eat more than the old-timers.
Everything has a new flavor and
whets their appctites. 1t is nothing
for customers who are Just getting ac-
quainted with place to eat as II they
had been starved for a month. AS a
matter OF fact, they have Jared quite
well: it's the change that makes them
so voracious."

At the Same Rate.

An elderly man walked leisurely
into drug store to have prescrip-
ton filled for some trihing complaint
Receiving from the druggist a little
box of about dozen pills, he was
called upon to pay about three or four
times what he thought he should. The
money was paid without murmur
and in silence, but stepping off a few
feet from the counter, he slow
ly scanned every corner of the store,
almost every shelf of 1t, and the sales
man, supposng he wanted something
else, asked what he could do for him.
and the reply was NO, you can do
nothing, as I'm already done for; but
I'll tell you this, I've many times
passed this store, but never before

THE "REsT MANS" MISTAKE.
Wedding Fee That Surely Must Have
Astonished Minister.

AS the young man was donning his
evening suit preparatory to keeping a
social engagement he ran his hand
into his pocket and was surprised to
lind an envelope there. On opening
1t he discovered $25 in bills. Now,
where in thunder did ! take on all
this money! he said at isn't mine,
for / never carry my bills around in
an envelope" Then he sat down to
think where he had worn the suit and
how he had come by the $25. "The
last place ! wore IT," he mused final
ly, was when | was best man at a
wedding month ago. But | gave the
minister his money. | remember dis.
tinctly giving him something, and 1t
must have been his fee. If ! didn't
give him the money, what in the
world did / give him." He called up
the clergyman by phone. DO you

gave you for fee at Blanks we'd
ding?" The answer came back very
distinctly and cuttingly. SYoung man,

LincOln's Doubts of His Recollection

The article in the Century by David
Homer Bates dealing with Lincoln $
forebodings of defeat at the polls in
1854 throws an interesting sidelight on
the Presidents habit of self-distrust
and disparagement where his personal
hopes were concerned.
Lincoln's estimate of the electoral
vote which he made on a telegraph
blank in the government telegraph Of
flee three weeks before election in par
ticular illustrates this trait. In the
Mcclellan column he put New York,
Pennsylvania, Missouri, Kentucky, his
own State, Illinois and Maryland, New
Jersey and Delaware, ia votes in all.
To himself he gave the New England
states. Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, oregon, California, Kan
sas, Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia,
III votes. To these Major Eckert add
ed the three votes of Nevada, which
was admitted to the Union by presi-
Dental proclamation on October 81,
1864. At this very time Jacob Thomp-
son. Confederate agent in Canada was
writing to Jefferson Davis: The cleo
ton of Lincoln is almost certain
How unduly pessimistlc Lincoln's esti-
mate of his chances was is shown by

United States Consul Halstead of
Birmingham, England, tells this story:
a farmer noticed customers in the
grocer's shop picking over the celery
to find the best-looking punches, and
it occurred to him to take more pains
with his celery and see if it would
bring a better price. He bought some
pink tape and tiled the celery with 1t
in neat punches and found that it sold
quickly and brought more money. At
ter that he marketed all his produce in
the most attractive manner, putting la
bells on his fruit baskets with the
name of the variety, wiping his APP
pies, selecting and labelling his toma-
toes. always treating his fruit and veg
etables as if they were worthy of dis
tinction. The fame of his produce grew,
he enlarged his business and became a
wealthy man, all because of the pink
tape on the celery,
