One Way to Judce,

DO you know" said the head waiter at fashionable restaurant, that an experienced waiter can usually tell whether a diner is wealthy or not by the way he handles his meal check? If man carelessly pitches out his money for the waiter to pay the bill without looking over his check we know the chances are that he isn't wealthy. He is indulging in luxury and fears he might he ridiculed if he examined the check. On the other hand. the man who has plenty of money ex- amines his check closely, as rule. If he finds an item which he thinks is wrong he tells the waiter about it. It was probably just such care as that that made him rich. Is he laughed at? We'll, I guess not. Tn fact, the wait CTS admire him for his carefulness, and the result is they are doubly particular about how he is charged. ."-New York Press.

THE DEADLY UNDERTOW.
What to Do When Caught In the
 Treacherous Currents.

What to Do When Caught In the
 Treacherous Currents.
 Those deadly undertows which so often prove fatal to swimmers are pro- duced by tides and coast currents. The former only carry out at ebb tide; the latter usually zigzag along the shore.
 If you are a robust swimmer" said a professor of the art, ''you can gen. erally overcome them by quick, alert strokes. If, however, you do not at once succeed don't persevere, for this is one of the exceptions to the rule about perseverance. Stop fighting be- fore exhaustion comes and go with the tide or current. By resting short time, floating or swimming leisurely, you will have time to take your bear ings and either make another attempt or call for assistance
 Sometimes you will find the under tow runs parallel to the shore. You may then let yourself be carried along with the certainty that before long it will twist inshore, when a short spurt will bring you to safety."-Cassell's Journal.

Shakespeare and His Plays,

The Shakespeare-Bacon controversy is right where it began many years ago. The man from Stratford is still in possession. though there are many learned men who seriously question his rights. It has not been proved that Bacon wrote the plays or that Shake speare did not write them. One thing the controversy has done. however-it has immeasurably heightened the mys- tery of the fact. if it is fact, that the plays were written by the historical Shakespeare. Between the Shakespeare we know in history and the man who wrote Lear" Hamlet" and Mac beth" there would seem to be an un- brldged distance.-New York Ameri- can.

It is interesting to note the extent to which the belief is gaining ground that the New York bankers and big financiers have been almost wholly responsible for the money stringency in the west. The bankers loaned their funds to Wall street gamblers and then when they lost money their cried stringency, tied up their re- serves, loaned cnly small amounts at exorbitant rates of interest and made the west whistle for its money, says Washington writer. Of course Mir Roosevelt did not appreciate the game that was ping worked. He says himself, quite frankly, that he knows nothing of finance. It is probable that Mir Cortelyou knew nothing of it either. The secretary of the treasury has but one end in view, the promotion of his own presi- dential ambitions. His only strength is with the Wall street and banking interests. He has never had busi- ness experience and he is, of course. willing if an innocent tool in the hands of the men who rule the street." Fortunately, however, ad- vices have reached the president from various sections which are be- ginning to outweigh that of his sec retary of the treasury and in the face of Secretary Cortelyou's protests Mir Roosevelt is insisting that proceeds from the sale of the Panama bonds and the treasury certificates shall be being poured into the bottomless New York rat hole.

One of the phases of finance of which congress will take cognizance during the coming session will be
 gambling in stocks, foodstuffs and cotton. It is perhaps too much to expect that congress will speedily solve this tremendous problem, but it must be evident to all that sooner or later this form of gambling must
 be stopped Lotteries, card playing, faro, roulette, horse racing, policy and all other forms of gambling pale into significance when compared with speculations in stocks, cereals and cotton, as far as the effect upon the general welfare is concerned. Con- gress and the supreme court stretched the constitution to sup press lotteries, many legislatures have prohibited horse racing, while the gambler who utiliZes cards, the wheel or the faro box is an outcast everywhere Yet nothing has been done to even discourage the greatest gambling game of all except against the bucket shops, which occupy about the same position toward the New York stock exchange as New York keno game to Canfield's. Sup pressing the bucket shop without re- stricting the operations of the stock exchange is like closing the pool rooms and letting the race tracks run wide open.

Cause of the Smashup as Told by the
 Old Darky Driver.

Old Darky Driver. The old darky was suing the railroad company for damages. The man con- tended that, not being warned by whis- tie or engine bell. he had started to drive his rig across the company's track when shunted box car of said company crashed into his outfit, caus- ing the death of the horse, loss of the wagon and minor injuries to himself. After the prosecution had closed its side of the case the company's lawyer called the old darky to the stand and went at him.
 "Mr. Lamson," he began, your rig was struck by the box car in full day light, was it not?'
 II fink dar was some clouds Ovahead suh," answered the caviling witness.
 Never mind the clouds. And only a few days before this accident the railroad company had put new sign at that crossing"
 "Dar was sign dar; yaas, suh!"
 And didn't that sign say: Stop! Look! Listen?"

"A RANK FRAUD

Tomorrow Thomas Butterwood Will be Arraign-

The troubles of the Wilson Mesa

a warrant issued by Justice of the
Peace Joseph Sweeney and he was
lodged in jail until this morning
when he was released on bond.
The information upon which the
warrant was issued was filed by r. C.
Walker, a stockholder of tine company
and he charges Butterwood with
fraudulently obtaining money from
him.
It seems that Butterwood owned
something like fifty thousand shares
of stock in the company. This stock

to believe that the company had

the property was absolutely good.
Upon this representation Mr. Walk
er claims, he made the deal and paid
Butterwood $4,000. A few hours af-
ter the trade was made according to
Mr.. walkers statement, Butterwood
came 10 him and informed him that
the company had no deed and no
title TO one of the best claims in the
group, and urged Mr.. Walker to go
sell the stock before the fact became
known to the public.
Under these conditions Mr. Walk
er filed the information. The com
plant is in no wise based on Butter
woods transactions with the company
which a prominent member of the
company says, is altogether another
story.
The report to the effect that Butter
wood came all the way from Salt
Lake City to this city for the purpose
of being arrested has no credence
whatever, as far as can be learned.
Tomorrow morning at ten O'Clock
Butterwood, will be arraigned for
preliminary hearing before Judge

of the most intensely interesting held
