A Strawberry Tip.

Now that the summer vacations are
in full swing, the tipping question has
naturally come to the fore again. but
the abolition of the evil seems as far
off as ever, and it remains nuisance
grudgingly borne by most people. A
French paper relates how Barley
l'Aurevilly. the witty French author,
got out of the difficulty when he found
he had only the money to cover his
bill. One day, having invited a friend
to dine with him at d fashionable res
taurant. the sumptuous menu conclud-
ed with fresh strawberries. although
the fruit was not then in season. The
bill, Barley knew, would be stiff one.
but when it was presented the total
was beyond his worst expectations.
After fumbling in all his pockets he
found his funds left no margin for
the walters tip.
Has not the dinner been satisfac-
tory" the polite attendant whispered.
Barley answered that it had been
perfect.
But monsieur has forgotten

he had left some of the dessert. Seven

PLENS AGAINST
THE NIGHT RIDERS.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 2I.-Plans
for a campaign OF retaliation against
the night riders Of Kentucky ad Ten
nessec It is claimed, are being for
nulated in Memphis at conference
called by Peraval s Hill, of New
York, one o. the high officials OF the
tobacco trust, and Immediately made
the wires hit with messages sum
rnoning representatives OF the trust
TO meet him n Memphis.
The visit OF Mr. He'll 10 Memphis
tfnas been guarded with the utmost
care At the office OF the Tom Nor.
ton Tobacco Company the Memphis
branch OF the trust, it was asserted
that Mr. Hill was not i'll the city,
while at interested banks the same
assertion was made.
The fact reinains, however, that
Mr. Hill did come to Memphis Sun
day and was assigned to room sos at
the Gayoso, where he still is. Re
peated efforts TO see him were unsuc-
cessful, and the room was evidently
vacant most OF the day
Monday night and Tuesday morn
ing a number Of prominent Kentucky
and Tennessee tobacco men reached
the city, and the rumor was that they
were the ones to whom Mr.. Hill had
sent the messages for the conference.
The impression prevails that the
principal topic of discussion was the
boldness OF the night riders, and
the wholesale destruction OF tobac-
co crops. 1t was said that on acdc@.nt
of the present inflamed condition OF
affairs IN Kentucky it was deemed ad
visable 70 hold the conference II

intended retaliatory action upon The

HUSBAND LOST APPETITE
Wife Says She Found He Couldn't

Affinity

Chicago, IL, Jan. 2I--,Mrs. Mar
gueritc Dannebaum, vile of the
wealthy manufacturer, has sued Miss

phone me three and four times n
day, and even sent me flowers af-
ter our separation on Nov. IS. I
would meet him downtown and have
luncheon. He would not eat, and !
thought he was suffering from a
weak stomach. Then | would come
home and prepare him the daintiest
morsels, not even allowing the maid
to touch the food. Then I learned
that the reason he could not eat wa:
because he had had a previous lun-
cheon with Miss Hartman.

WOMEN CONVICTS
TWICE AS COSTLY.

Albany. N. Y. Jan. Git costs
the state of New York almost twice
as much TO care for women prison
ers as it does to provide for the
wants of male inmate in any OF its
several prisons according to the an
nual report of the state commissions
on Prisons, which was made public
today.
In the Auburn prison, where men
only are harbored, the daily cost OF
maintenance for each prisoner was
49, cents, while in the woman's pris
on at Auburn it was 67.S cents An
other interesting feature of the re
port is that the state prisons on DC
tober last had larger number OF in
mates than at any time within ten
years with two exceptions.
The total number was 1927. DuEr
ing the year ending on that date, the
number of prisoners admitted to
INSTITUTIONS, ihcfudiHg county ldiis,
penitentiaries and workfromses, WIS
o7,6Io, of which 22.566 were women.
The rotal number of women in Gus
tody at the close of the year was
1851.
The passing OF Sing Sing prison
known and dreaded by all criminals
all over the land, is foreshadowed
| in the report
Its unsanitary condition IS report
ported and the statement made thai
special commission will be appoint
ed to select i site and construct J

TALLY while apparently, engaged in a
search for questions from her for
mer testimony, if she had ever visited
a number OF notorious Bowery re-
sorts which he enumerated

Miss Terry's gossipy Memoirs running in McClure's throw more light on stage technique than many dull volume of in- structions. From the March number we quote:
 Henry Irving was immensely funny as Doricourt. We had sort of Beatrice and Benedick scenes together, and I began to notice what a lot his face did for him. There have only been two faces on the stage in my time-his and Duses.
 My face has never been of much use to me, but my pace has filled the deficiency sometimes-in comedy al any rate. In The Belle's Stratagem' the public had face and pace together, ard they seemed to like it.
 There was one scene in which l sang Where are you going to, my pretty maid?' I used to act it all the way through and give limitations of Doricourt ending up by chucking him under the chin. The house rose at it
 "I was often asked at this time, when I went out to party, if I would not sing that dear little song from The Cup When 1 said I didn't think itfwould sound very nice without the harp, since it was only chant on two or three notes, some one would be sure to say:

Tn some localities it is bad luck not to move the cat when the family moves; in other localities it is an i'll omen to move the cat.
 The cat also runs a weather bureau:
 A cat "bawling" is a sign of rain in Newfoundland.
 A cat eating grass indicates rain in Maine, Michigan and Massachusetts.
 If a cats fur shines and looks glossy next day will be pleasant
 In Alabama a cat washing it's face means rain. In New England this state ment is limited to ablutions on the part of the cat before breakfast or in the parlor.
 The direction from which the cats paw moves in washing indicates direction from which the storm will come.
 In central Maine it will storm soon if

Oddities of Alcoholism.

From the Minneapols Journal.
 Anecdotes of alcoholism were being narrated by little group of physicians at the recent convention in Chicago of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science.
 One of my alcoholic patients steals when drunk" said Philadelphian. You should see the trophies he brings home His valet is continually snea1ing off of mornings with great parcels--overcoats umbrellas, silver spoons, clocks-that his master, trembling in fear of arrest, has begged him to get rid of somehow"
 T have patients said New York specialist in dipsomania, ''who in their intoxication steal only particular things. One man, an agnostie, steals Bibles. A woman steals gimlets. A young spinster steals baby thngs-little shoes and frocks, bottles, and rattles. once even a peram- bulator."

''I had a case, an old lady" said a Kansan, that I had worked over sev- enteen years. A hopeless case, it seemed. But she lost her money. and then they began to arrest her as common drunk Well, after she had been arrested dozen times or so, the magistrate said he was tired of seeing her about, and instructed the police to take her to the river when ever they found her drunk and give her a cold dip By jove, that cured her. Two cold dips cured her. She has been sober now. my old patient, almost three years
