A MATCH FoR A TIP

The waiter smothered an embarrassed
grin when the red faced, absent minded
man handed him his tip. After the alb
sent minded man had gone the waiter
looked after him and then at his tip,
still with half grin on his face.
The tip the man had handed to him
was match-just common, every
day sulphur match OF commerce..
He meant we'll enough" said the
waiter. He was just thinkin' about
somcthin' else The chances are that
somebody in his Office keeps bothering
him for matches. snd he's got SO in the
habit of giving matches to people that
he hands out q match without thinkin'
any more about 1t than he would about
drawing his breath. He felt that he
ought to hand me something, and he
just made 1T q match without think
ing.
Why" continued the waiter, you'd
be surprised at the absent minded peo-
pie that give us tips. The other day a
solemn looking man gave me a dollar
bili-Just the amount his dinner came
TO- he wanted to give me a little piece
Tor myself, and just as he started out
ne reached back and gave me a handful
Of cloves that he'd pulled out of the
little pocket where he kept his small
change. And he wasn't doing 1t to be
kidding either He meyer knew he did
But" says the waiter in a serious
tone, somehow the absent minded
ness hardly ever makes 'em loosen up
any more'n they would when they're
right at themselves" es."-cleveland plain

POTATO PENCIL cAsINGs

Writer'S on horticulture have from
time to time called attention to the
gradual disappearance of cedar trees
in this country. and it seems that there
is dearth of cedar wood generally: at
least, each year the supply for COM
mercial purposes is more difficult of at
tainment. This has set the chemist to
work, and 1t Is stated that a Berlin
firm is making an excellent substitute

de Witte, ex-premier and former min
ister of finance in Russia During the
late panic in New York the count was
interviewed by a leading Russian lib-
eral, and expressed some pessimistic
views as to the future condition of
America and Europe. He said that a
financial crisis would happen in Europe
that would cause the bankruptcv Of the
governments. This would be followed
by fierce struggle, ending in the sun

LOVE AFFAIRS CAUSE
MANY DISAPPEARANCES
international Detective Sets
Forth Opinions Based on
Cases He Handled

Women do not disappear SO much
as men, said Mr.. Hartley, an interna-
tional detective. who was interviewed
in reference to mysterious disappear
ance which is now attracting much
public attention.
When a woman goes it is usually q
love affair Either the parents object
to the man or there is some other
cause And 1t is important to remem-
Der what cunning schemers women can
be- Even quite young girls may be
wonderfully clever in keeping things
from their parents. During the course
of my work l am very skeptical OF
women for this reason. A girl might
arrange for her lover or some one sent
by him to meet her, and 1t would be a
very simple matter for her to give her
friends the slip in a crowded street OF
course, very often we get cases of sud-
den loss of memory happening to peo-
pie who are in the best of health and
spirits, but one rarely finds this occur
to a young girl. and where the tendency
does exist the family or friends usually
know OF 1t and keep watch accordingly.
Again, 1t is possible q girl does not
like the prospect of going home after
she has been away for holiday and
some one with whom she was In touch
might assist her In carrying out plan
Of her own.
"Disappearances are very common,
not only in London, but in Paris and
New York, but the public seldom hears
of them. Not only girls, but old men
and others disappear. Generally these
are not cases OF kidnapping; they had
TO do with family or business matters
and as the families, as a rule. did not
wish the police to know the ciroum-
stances, they employed private detect
ives. Thus the outside world does not
get to know of half of the disappear
ances and their causes.
Crime sometimes enters into these
sudden disappearances. A cool headed
man OF the world who has committed
theft or felony either in business or
private life will take II into his head
70 disappear, and make a fresh start
in life somewhere else. A few years
ago a gentleman, whose family was
high IN the social world, vanished. He
had been suspected of robbing his
brother in law during a period of pres

tim knew that If he informed the po.
lice his brother IN law would stand ir
danger Of being prosecuted, so he
handed the case over to me. 1t was
proved that the man had actually beer
robbins him right and left. but for the
sake OF HIS wife, he was allowed-anc
even assisted-to disappear.
