EPlcuREs STUDY HOTELS.
Then They Go One Place or Another
- EaS<x Dictates.

Then They Go One Place or Another
as Fancy Dictates.
Epicures accustomed to dining In hO-
tells and restaurants study the policy
Of each fashionable place and readily
tell just why they 60 to one place OF
avoid another. They have their likes
and dislikes, aside from actual eating
regarding the walters, the music. the
ventilation and q hundred and one
other things a casual visitor would
fail to appreciate :.
For instance, at one restaurant only
single portions are served for one per-
son. At another. where the cooking Is
equally good, half portions, nearly OF
quite as large as the single portions OF
other places, are served for one per-
SON. There was a little dispute at
well known hotel over mistake In an
order Of trout and chicken that made
a difference OF several dollars on a
check for a rather simple dinner for
two. 1t was settled 'out Of court" as
1t were, and quite agreeably. but hotel
managers regret and try to avoid these
mistakes, especially when the customer
Is a regular visitor, for they know he
never forgets the details Of his eating
and is slow to forgive an error.
Another popularity of diners is as to
the location Of tables. Some persons
cling to one table and feel aggrieved
when they find another in their favor
lite seat. Restaurant proprietors have
tried to understand this popularity of
their patrons, but have to admit they
fall to explain it-St Louis Republic.

DIDN'T NEED n.
Why Scotch Farmer Refused . Por-
tion of Dessert.

tion OF Dessert.
Could the funny sayings and Incl
dents at the tenants dinners In Scot
land be collected they would make an
unriyaled book of humor. Mistakes OF
amusing and sometimes embarrassing
nature occur frequently at such func-
lions. One story is told Of guest at
a Scottish tenants dinner who tasted
ice cream for the first time on that oc-
casion. He pushed large spoonful OF
the frozen mixture into his mouth and
Jumped from his chair with agony ex-
pressed on his face. He let out yell
and cried out, low, ow, ma rotten
toothr' and could not be induced to
eat any more. 5.a
At another Scottish affair Of the kind
a good old farmer was seated next to
the hostess. She served him bit Of
savory ome1et, which seemed to cause
the old man deep disappointment His
idea Of an omelet had always been
dessert with sugar or fruit or jams,
and after tasting the sample before
him he turned to the hostess and said,
'sWeel, ma lady, Gamma compliment
you on your puddin's."
The late Duke Of Buccieuch told q
story Of a tenant at one of the farmers
dinners on his estates who was asked
by the duchess II he would take some
rhubarb, a dish she was fond Of. The
farmer was surprised. but answered
politely. "Pm muckle obleeged to your
grace, but dinna' need It."

FINDINGS NOT KEEpINGs.
Lost Articles Are Always Crying Out
For Their Owners.


When one is on the public Trough
fare or in the street car or train or
boat and picks up an object that Is
valuable, is it his?
True, he may find something which
is too small and trif1ing to warrant
searching to find the owner, such as a
handkerchief, a pair of gloves, etc.
But when he finds something Of valne
1t Is not his until he has done every
thing in his power to find the owner.
The street railways and trains are
SO systematized today that If, when
one finds an object Of value, he re
turns it to the company's representa-
tive it is almost sure to catch up with
its owner Every person of intelli.
gence knows that the first place to
inquire for it is at the lost and found
department
When, however. one is on the street
and finds something which, If he lost
1t himself, he would very much like tc
have returned, there are the columns
Of newspaper in which to advertise.
If he fails to find the owner after
this, then he can rightfully call it his
own and have clear conscience, but
If he avoids looking over the lost ant
found columns and fails to do his par
toward finding the owner he is almos
as dishonest as if he took the goods

PRINTERS BLUNDERS.
Comic Effects Frequent In the Day
When Bad Copy Was the Rule.


When Bad Copy Was the Rule.
Typographical errors that produced
weird or comical effects are described
by the st. Louis Republic in an article
recalling the days when all of that
newspapers type was set by hand, be-
fore the introduction Of typesetting
machines, when the copy, instead OF
being typewriter, was turned over to
the printer in an Infinite variety or
good, bad and Indifferent chirography
Comparatively few Of the errors
were allowed to contribute to the gay
ETY. of the subscribers, as the majority
were squelched in the 'house OF cor
rection,' as the proofroom was face
tiously termed From a collection
made by a proofreader the following
instances of ridiculous misleading of
copy are taken:
"His blushing bride" was trans
formed into his clustering bride"
A captain was said to have served
with destruction in the Confederate
army but the writer thought he
wrote "distinction."
Two pictures entitled THE Galley
Slave" and Each In Their Turn"
were referred to as The Galley !
Love" and "Enoch In Shin Town"
Having IN mind the influence Of
former citizens Of the land of the
shamrock upon the political destinies
of the town. what more natural than
that the printer man should set up an
Irish district court" where 1t had
been the FIRST district court?"
Professor Frank Gecks was men,
toned as having rendered violent Sc
lections" rather than ''vio.iD selec-
tions''
Somebody was quoted as saying that
"all the singing folks on the vaudeville
stage have hundreds of wives" but
the copy, when carefully examined
was found to read Husbands OF
wives" and a sensation In the the
atrical world was averted.
''They sailed for three days around
the cape and finally slaughtered q
small Italian" was corrected to read
sighted a small island"
On one occasion the reporter wrote
of certain .dwarfed and hungered chill
dren," who were made to appear per
haps more pathetic when the compost
tor substituted the words ''doorfed and
haggard."

Why Naval Uniforms Arc Blue.

Naval uniforms all the world ovei
pretty well are navy blue. The Brit
ish fashion In this matter has been the
rule with maritime people In general
That blue was ever selected for the
kings naval service was fortuitout
happening. When in 1747 the ques'
ton Of uniform was being considered
the color selected had very like tc
have been French gray laced with sill

quite decided he saw the Duchess OF
Bedford In a riding habit Of blue
faced with white and enlivened with
gold lace. 1t was revelation Here
the king declared. was the uniform fol
his sea service officers. and no more
was heard Of French gray. The navy
took to blue. and every other navy has
