Russian Custom That Got a Scoffef

This custom appeared somewhat in
congruous ON the establishment OF
the government liquor monopoly,
when every vodka store was solemn

At Kishineff last week, when a
new opera house was opened with the

Returning Check.

A New York editor laid down a
letter with laugh.
"A letter from w. w. Jacobs, the
English humorist," he said, "declin-
ing to write me a Christmas story

what made me laugh, though.
Mr.. Jacobs tells me in this letter
about an American correspondent OF
his own name. The American w.
w. Jacobs wrote to the English one
recently. He said he, too, aspired
to literary laurels, but so far with
out success. He had proposition to
make. He proposed that the two

of a dream he had had, in which this

MAN WHO MAKES CORK LEGS.

Helps Along His Business II He Hap
pens to Wear One Himself.
"a manufacturer or dealer in arti-
fetal limbs who wears a cork arm
or leg himself is much better equip
ped for business than his competitors
who are sound" said a man who uses
a cork leg. I'm fact, 1t has become
sort Of unwritten law among US
to patronize such men when posi-
BILE.
Sentimental reasons may have
something to do with the case. but
l guess the chief reason is that we
consider that IL a man can make a
limb for himself that fits like the
paper on the wall he can make them
for others.
Manufacturers of artificial limbs
know this and frequently you will find
an advertisement like this: The So
andso Artificial Leg is built by a man
who Is wearing one and who knows
from experience what you want for
comfort
This Is strong argument, for It's
no easy thing to get an artificial limb
that just fits. Persons who have trou.
BILE getting shoes that are just right
are In great luck compared to us. -

A Gentle Hint.

Senator Fulton at his annual Ore
gon salmon dinner in Washington,
told tipping story.
'Tn Astoria" he said, there used to
be an old fisherman who brought me
the first of every month a present of
splendid salmon from his master. I
always gave the old fisherman tip.
But one morning I was very busy
and when the old man brought the
fish thanked him hurriedly, and for
getting his tip bent over my desk
again. He hesitated a moment, then
cleared his throat and said:
Senator, would ye be so kind as
to put it in writin' that ye didn't give
me no tip this time, or my wife'h
