couple window tablet" he said.
They took it SIR the waiter an
swered
Took it? Why did You let them take
it? Couldn't you have told them it was
engaged?"
Then, all bows and smiles, the head
waiter made the country couple change
to a secluded table behind post, and
five minutes later he gave the window
table they had occupied to young
millionaire in London and a chorus
girl in Paris clothes.
I'VE dress our Windows" the head
waiter explained to guest. 1--WE put
our best goods in the windows, as
shopkeepers do. That attracts good
line of trade to us-the line that drinks
champagne and smoke half dollar CT
CARS. But If we allowed anyone to
grab our window tables the public,
passing by, would put us down as
cheap, and a cheap clientele would
come in and order steak and fried po-
tatoes.
Eyes, we dress our windows. Some
times we lunch particularly pretty ac-
tresses for nothing. They make such
good bait"

MAKES DYING NOTES
Nan Perishing in California Desert
Jots Down His Sensations and Suf-

Los Angeles, Oct 23.-"Water; If l
could only find water"
I'm suffering terribly from hunger.
Today l ate some green brush, but
can't go any more. I wonder how long
it will take to die"
These entries in the notebook of B.
T. Pratt, whose body was found on
the desert in Inyo county by two pros
pectars, give pathetic evidence Of the
suffering the man underwent as he
watched the approach of death far
from human habitation.
G. w. Lewis and S. e. Shattuck are
the prospectors who have just returned
from a trip thru the Argus mountains
in Inyo county. Pratt had been dead
nearly two months. He evidently was
trying to reach the mountains, where
he knew he would find food of sort
and water In abundance, but within
could go no further.
Pratt was 60 years old. He had
thrown away his prospecting tools, his
blankets and even his canteen in the
effort to beat death to the mountains.
The notebook found by the prospectors
was the only evidence to Nshow who
the deserts victim was

of the fearful realization that the
struggle was in vain.

Sioux City Police Believe They Hav.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Oct. 23.-Local police Of
ficials are convinced that they have
made valuable capture in the person
Of j. w. Kelso, suspected in the check
swindles at the railway stations here
Saturday and Sunday. Even If the Of

wise to the methods Of the fraternity.
"White Rat" Sympkin, a colored
attendant at an alleged local gam
bling house, was the first to call at
the station to inquire if any charge
had been fled against Kelso who
is being held pending an investigation.
He also wanted to know If the amount
of the bond which would be demanded,
had been fixed. He indicated there
would be no trouble in securing it.

white men bent on the same mission.
CAS- soon as the bond is fixed it

PANIC ONE YEAR OLD.
Remarkable Recovery of tho "

Remarkable Recovery OF tho Wes
Since Trouble Of November Last.
When a year ago the shock to bus
mess conditions spread in a day from
eastern commercial centers to the re-
hottest interior hamlet, it was to the
west for a time an inexplicable hap
pening. SO confident had been the trust
of the ever-increasing tide of pros
perity and so firmly established seemed
the basis therefor that boasts were
frequent that the west was independ-
ent of it's eastern business connec-
tions and that nothing on the Atlantic
coast could affect the progress Of the
grain raising states. This idea had
been inculcated by newspapers, by ora
tors and by street corner forums
When the country banker was unable
to pay his excited depositors in full
on demand, he combated a deep-settled
conviction that was difficult to change.
change.
AS realization and understanding
came, there was a revulsion that caused
angry words concerning the east and
aroused bitter expressions regarding
business methods that had brought
about such a crisis. To many west
erners the hurt to pride was greater
than the injury to purse-for the lat
ter was not necessarily extensive. The
west is impatient; it acts impulsively.
The nervous tension during the six
weeks following Dot. 2S, 1907, recalled
to ofd-time bankers the days Of 1893
90, with much greater concentration
of the alarm. Many of their custom
ers were unreasonably oppressive, and
it was not until we'll into the winter
that limit on currency payments was
finally abandoned. The experiences of
the depression of fifteen years previous,
when the western banks suffered so
acutely, was too fresh in the minds
of the depositors to permit them to
take long chances.
Chiefly they sought bases for conf
dence, and these they found in the
granaries, cribs, and corrals. The pam
ic came when only q part of the Walea:
had been marketed and when the corn
was not yet gathered. For six weeks
there was no currency to be had in
payment for grain. and the tendency
of the farmer to keep his farm pro-
ducts until he could be assured Of
something better than cashiers checks
looked into the well-filled storehouses
he decided that he could afford to wait,
because he had the things that the
world must obtain. 1t could struggle
along without automobiles and could
exist with fewer automatic pianos, but
1t must have bread and meat. His
wheat corn, and cattle were certain to
find a market as soon as means could
be found to pay him in money accept
able to him. This was soon forthcom-
ing as the readjustment Of affairs pro-
crossed, and then the agricultural COM
munities of the west discovered an
other thing in their favor-high prices
m maintained for all farm products. -

sickness and Mule Pinned Away and
Died. 3

Special to Times Republican.
LaPorte, oct. 23.-Altho the average
mule is credited with being a danger
Gus individual from the fact of his
qualifications in the clever manipula-
ton of his rear pedal extremities, and
upon whom much criticism is often
times heaped, the death of one of these
much abused and faithful animals at
LaPorte a few days ago goes to show
that down in the bottom OF this dumb
animals heart there is stronger sense
ing of home ties than has ever been
credited to them.
A week ago James Robinson, a
farmer living on the outskirts of the
town. purchased a young mule at
neighbours sale and took it home and
placed 1t in box stall in the barn
with all the comforts of the animal
home. This particular mule was a
young one, and had never been separ-
ated from it's mother before. The
breaking Of home ties was more than
it's young heart could stand 1t re-
fused to eat or drink and for several
days stood quietly in its stall with
head down and ears dropping. the pic
ture of despair, refusing to acknowl-
edge any act Of kindness from its new
master.
AS the animal was a valuable one.
MIR. Robinson called in the service of
veterinary, who administered sew
eral potions in vain attempt to re-
vive the condition OF the lleartbroken
animal. Nothing proved to be of any
benefit and after several days spent in
the most melancholy manner the sor-
rowing creature laid down and died
A post norton was held and the unan-
imous verdict was that the mule actu-
ally died of q broken heart, caused by
being separated from It's mother and
familiar surroundings.
