One Way to Get a Waiter.

To get a waiter quickly in big cafe
is at times very difficult, but German
town man recently learned method
from a New York friend which is guar
anteed instantly to bring not one, but
several walters. This Germantown man
was giving a dinner in one of Philadel-
phia's SWEETEST cafes. with the New
Yorker and two women as his guests.
After a long delay waiter came and
took the order. Then one of the women
decided that she must make a change
in her order. The host signaled one
waiter after another without avail. Aft
er about ten minutes of violent gesticu-
lating on his part the New Yorker said ::
You don't know how to attract their
attention. I'll bet you S. | can bring
a waiter to this table within thirty sec
onds.
I'm take the bet" said the philadel-
phian, drawing out his watch. The New
Yorker reached over into the middle of
the table. picked up thin. delicate glass
and deliberately dashed it To the floor
Instantly every waiter in the room came
dashing up to see what was the trouble
Charge one tumbler up on the bill. 8"
said the New Yorker laconicaIly. "and
change one of those oyster orders to
Blue Points,
As the walters dispersed he added: Il
guess you owe me a five-spot, old man."

ANOTHER APPLE KING.
There Are Two; One Is King Quality
the Other King Quantity.

Missouri is now the greatest apple
tree state. though according to The
census the production of apples IS
greatest in New York. Missouri has
O34,S32 trees. The total acreage of ap-
pie and pear trees mostly apples, Of
course) is 100000 acres.
The total number of apple trees in the
United States is 301 ,914642 according to
the last census, 1903, and that number
will be greatly increased in the next
few years if the plans of the principal
growers of the west are carried out.
1t the claims of the far western grow
ers are justified a census five years from
now will show quite different results
than the above. At the Spokane apple
show a few months ago Michael Koran,
an orchardist of Wenatchee, Wash,
was crowned apple king of America,
having captured the chief prize of $1,000
for the best carload exhibit
There will be many probably to dis
pute the title, but according to Van
Norden's Magazine, Mr. Horan's exhib-
il was marvellous. His carload con-
sisted of $50 boxes, $4,000 apples. which
scored 9614 out of a possible 100 points
in quality and appearance. The prize
winning fruit was later displayed in
England.
Mr.. Koran is a native of Stockbridge
breaking horses in California He went
to Washington in 1883, where he grazed
cattle on the present site of Wenatchee
aud the valley. buying thousands of
acres of land at 30 cents an acre. Al
the show few months ago he was able
to say:
My orchard should yield 1900 boxes
of pears, $4,000 boxes of peaches and
10000 boxes of apples in 1909 | have
refused an offer of $1,000 an acre fnr +bo
land that cost me 80 cents"
In Kansas there is another apple king.
though the dispute between them has
been patched up by calling one quality
king and the other quantity king.
The latter, Judge Wellhouse of To-
peka, Kan, was the subject of a recent
article in The Sun. The basis of his
title is the ownership of over 1000 acres
devoted to apple trees. Also he has
raised more than half million bushels
of apples and sold them for a little over
$205, 600.

SOME PHILOSOPHY.

You can reach a mans heart through
his stomach, which may explain why he
loses his appetite when he leses his
heart.
Some people consider it a mistake to
own up to one.
Powder doesn't necessarily blacken q
woman's character.
The only man who can afford to buy
champagne on a beer income is the pro-
prietor of a brewery.
AT least where a mirror is concerned
a woman always looks on the bright
side.
The worst thing about doing some men
a good turn is that they seem to think
they deserve another
tlattery is a poor tool with which te
make friends.
When girl is color blind she has lit
tie excuse for making Il fellow green
with envy.
The gates of heaven are jealousy
guarded, but the devil always has the
latchString out.
The chap who is regarded as one man
in thousand is cordially hated by the
other 800.
\ bird in the hand is worth two on
the bill of fare.-New York Times.
The fellow who is stuck on himself is
frequently stuck ON an insurmountable
obstacle.
No man knows what large following
he has until he goes to his own funeral.
wise is the man who, knowing little,
says less.
Only a fool would presume to guess at
the age of an egg or a woman.
People who are weighed in the balance
and found wanting always complain that
the scales are out of order.
The way of the transgressor may be
hard, but he can generally afford pneu-
matte tires.
It's generally what our neighbors
haven't that makes us appreciate what
we have.
1t always takes two to make a quar-
rel, but the quarrelsome man never has
any difficulty in locating the other fel-
low.
Many a fellow who considers himself
the soul of honor needs half-soling.
A girl sometimes loses a good friend
without quarreling with him. She mar
ries him.
When man is a beggar it is gener-
ally because he is too much of a coward
to be a thief

The annual report of the Marconi
Wireless Telegraph Company shows a
sharp falling off in receipts for long
distance messages during the year 1908,
owing to the decline in passenger travel
on the seas as result of business de-
preston, and in many instances the con-
sequent inability of steamship compa-
MES to provide service without loss.
This reveals the limits ton of the wire
less method of communication, which
has thus far been serviceab!e only on
the sea. and there mainly during the
night. Eventually wireless communica-
ton will become general, but at present
it has limitations which contine its useful
ness mainly to marine service, where
its value is so apparent that nothing
short of absolute financial inability to
provide operators and apparatus will
check its development.

The duty is off hides-that's good.
There will be no duty on tea or coffee
excellent. because the people are en-
titled to free breakfast table. What
has been gained against the tricks of
greedy manipulators in the framing of
the new tariff bin has been gained by
hard work Hard work there must be to
cut off excrescences like the proposed
high duties on stockings and gloves and
cheap laces. Moreover, the working
man should have chance to buy wool
ems without being gouged. The Payne
bill is better than when it was intro
duced, and il has been made so because
of popular demand. The Senate is
evincing n disposition to still further
improve the bill by whiting down the
excessive duties ON stocking and gloves,
and will examine the merits of other
schedules affecting the wear of the peo-
pie Therefore it is well that popular
opposition to the Objectionable sched-
ues should continue to make itself felt.
There is ground for hope Of ultimate
substantial success.
