NoN-PAYlNG HOTEL PATRONS.
Inevitable Expense That Proprietors
of New York HosteIries Must
Be Prepared For.

The proprietor of one of the largest
hotels in New York, speaking of the
uses made by non-paying customers Of
his house. said to a rural guest a few
days ago: 1--WE have a large number
of patrons from whom we never col
lect a cent, although we have no such
thing as a free list They come here
in the morning, pick up a cast-off pa
per, which they read, keeping an eye
open for another, which they grab as
soon as 1t is dropped. After reading
awhile they stand at the ticker, often
giving long lectures to their fellows
on financial conditions and stock pos
sibilities. The overcoat becomes bur
densome, and 1t is taken to the check
room, where its owner knows it viii
be perfectly safe. Then, if they can
tear themselves from the ticker, let
tiers are written on our stationery.
They do not use our telephones, be-
cause we charge an extra five cents
for the call, but they carry home
matches, toothpieks, blank cards and
blotters, and use up the soap in our
lavatories. They also take generous
nibbles of the cheese and crackers in
the cafe The strangest part of all is
this, that the majority of this class
are well to do and highly respectable.
and on that account We do not shut
them out.

BETTER WITHOUT THE PILLOW
Doctor Declares That sounder and
More HeaIthfuI Sleep Is Secured.
Without Its Use.

Pillows are little more than a fad,
and rather harmful one at that
said a doctor. 'aThey should really
only be used by those who sleep on
their sides, as they are injurious to
others. When you sleep on your side
your shoulder prevents your head
from lying level on the bed, and pill
lows are useful to raise the head to
this level The natural and most
healthful position for the ordinary
person In sleeping is for ones head
to be kept perfectly even, just as it
would be standing up. Now, for the
one who lies on his back while sleep
ing, no pillow is needed to keep the
head in this position, and yet 80 per
cent. of the persons who sleep on
their backs use pillows, while those
who sleep on their sides use far more
pillow than is necessary. People get
used to having their heads and Shout
ders propped high up, and imagine
they could not sleep any other way,
but, as matter of fact if they would
try sleeping with little or no pillow
they would not only find that they
would feel better in the morning, but
also would actually be more comfort
able in bed and sleep much sounder
throughout the night

Zachary Meliek, with Million Dollars,
Has Plans to Scatter a Little
Sunshine.

81 wouldn't care a rap for mil
lion dollars" said Zachary Melick, If

people I know. And I reckon they
wouldn't enjoy their little $4,000
apiece unless they divided it among
their friends, too.
THE charitable societies don't cover
the whole field, not by a good deal.
Sometimes it seems to me the peo-
pie that deserve kindness most are
the ones that ask for it last / know
an old lady, past so she is, and her
crippled daughter, woman Of SO.
Those two live and keep house on a
pension of ten dollars a month. That
ten dollars is absolutely all they have
to spend; 1T has to pay for everything,
but they manage to keep inside Of it.,
though no one but the Lord knows how
they do it. When the mother goes
the daughter won't have a cent, yet
they're always happy, always glad to
see company, and to put up an extra
chair to the table Their hearts are
warm enough. if they do have to keep

There's thousands Of good, gentle
people in just such a fix. II was a

WHERE WAS GARDEN or EDEN7
Learned Men Differ Widely in the
location of the First Dwelling
Place on Record.

Students of Biblical lore and geog.
raphers have located the Garden OF
Eden in many places on the earth in
the last few hundred years. So ex.
cellent an authority on oriental his.
tory as Prof. Robert W. Rogers Of the
Drew Theological seminary has def
nitely placed it in the eireumscribed
region lying between the Tigris and
Euphrates. He says he does SO with
the full authority of the Bible.
In the course of his oriental re.
search Prof. Rogers found that the
Biblical references to the Garden Of
Eden seemed to indicate that 1T must
have been in the region between the
two rivers mentioned He points to
the fact that in the Biblical story Of
Eden appears the statement that a
river watering the garden was divided
and became four heads, the last of the
four being Euphrates. The Euphrates
rises in the Armenian mountains, and,
uniting with the Tigris, flows into the
Persian gulf.
Christopher Columbus thought that
Eden was IN Venezuela, and so IN
formed the Spaniards. One or two
other explorers of years gone by con.
tended that the garden was on the
island of Ceylon, the reason being
simply that they found there a noun
tain called Adams Peak.
The search for the Holy Grail occu,
pied the time of the middle ages in
great part, but the final abandon.
ment of that quest the hunt for the
Garden of Eden became a popular
pastime. In the early stages Of this
it was located in many different
places, among them being Armenia,
Utopia, Atalantis, and a prehistoric
continent somewhere. One savant
placed it close to the African equator.

unreasonabIx Touch.

Grimstead, who was a foreman in a
New England factory, was visited one
day by an old friend from the west.
"Old man, said his friend. how long
have you been working in this MILL"

head with profound sadness, but l

COULD SEE ONLY REALITIES.
Kindly Rural Couple Had Small Con.
ception Of the Place of Art
in the World.

A member of the Art Students
league tells this one on himself: In
the course of a. sketching jaunt in the
rural districts last summer he had
wandered rather far afield, and finding
himself in a picturesque section, ar
ranged to stay a few days at the nome
of an old couple of uncouth but kindly
nature He was engaged one day along
the roadside, where a calf was tetn-
cred, in making a water-color study OF
the pretty creature, when an automo-
bile containing a party of Pittsburgers
drew up and the occupants paused TO
ask for some information. One OF tnf.
motorists took fancy to the sketch
and made arrangements to purchases
it, when completed, for SIS.
This bit of news aroused in the ru-
raj hosts of the artist the most pro-
found establishment, as he learned art
er retiring that night, on oyerhearlng
from the kitchen below the following
conversation:
Land sakes, Hiram, d'yu believe
them people really give him $50 Ter
that little bit of paintin ?"
"Wa-al, some O them Pittsburgers
hez more money than brains, an
they're like t do most anything,
But, my land, Hiram. SIS fer a
little bit o. paper with calf drawed
onto 1T Why, If they'd on'y a knoWed
it, they cd a had tn critter itself fer

HORSE PARTIAL TO PEACHES
New York Animal Passed Up Real
Fruit in Favor of Millinery
characterization.

That horses prefer peaches to
oranges was demonstrated yesterday,
says the New York Sun. Two women
Just through shopping emerged from
store and stopped to talk near the
curb. 4 few feet away was a push
cart loaded with oranges. Two yards
away stood a delivery wagon.
One of the women wore a. peach
basket hat set off with several bunch
es of flowers and two artificial peach
es. The conversation between the
two women evidently was of great in.
terest to both, as neither noticed the
horse edge himself gradually to where
they we're standing until he almost
touched the tail end OF the push cart
with the oranges.
Then the conversation was brought
to an abrupt end by the woman With
the peach basket feeling tug ii her
hat which caused her to turn around
to ind the cause. With 4 shrek she
made d hasty retreat for tbs store,

EMOTIONS AMONG THE BIRDS.
Eminent Professor Has Upset Some
Beliefs That Have Hitherto
Been Strongly Held.

Little red bird in the tree, sing a
song to Clinton G. Abbott of your
fears, your peacefulness, your OBJ
stinacy, indignation, realization, antici-
pations and other emotions. Prof. Alb
bott, the ornithologfst, believes that
with his large collection Of photo
graphs and incidental studies, he has
proved the possession Of emotions by
the birds.
The raising or depressing Of the
birds feathers, the poise of her body,
the opening or closing of her bill, and
the expression of her wonderful eyes
are emotional significators to which
the professor attaches Importance. He
enjoins any owner Of a canary bird to
test his ideas for himself by approach
ing the cage with whistled encourage
ment and sympathy.
1.-THE little fellow will doubtless cock
his head on one side, raise his crest
and gaze in quizzica1 and friendly
manner at his visitor the investigator
says. But utter some unaecustomed
sound or run the finger tip across the
bars, and he will dash from perch to
perch with a look of unmistakable ter
ror In his eye and feathers tightly de
pressed and body slim" The goose
which in tame state is called the
stupidest of all poultry, Prof Abbott
finds on its nesting grounds in the far
north of Scotland to be possessed of
an intelligent and crafty nature such
as has seldom come under his obser-
walton either by direct contact with
nature or from study of the work OF
others.

90 Rlne Rird.

When nature made the blue bird she
wished to propitiate both the sky and
the earth, so she gave him the color
of one on his back md the hue of the
other on his breast, and ordained that
his appearance in spring should de-
note that the strife and war between
these two elements was at an end. He
is The peace harhinger, IN him the ce-
lestial and the terrestrial strike hands,
and are fast friends He means the
furrow and he means the warmth: he
means all the soft. waving influences
of the spring on the one hand, and the
retreating footsteps of winter On The
other. After you have seen the blue
bird yon will see no more cold, 10
more snow. no more winter. He brings
soft skies and the ruddy brown Of the
fields. It's sure TO be bright March

Farmer ought.to Produce His
Hog Yeat at Home, Instead Of Per-
Knitting His Western Brother to
Monapolizs the Industry.


Monopoliza the Industry.
From starkYilIe t1iiss.1 Southern Farm Gazette.
Oae Of the things T have been unao!e
to 4 cure out is why our southern farm
ers will allow the western farmers 10
grow their hog meat for them when it
is a fact 1--WE can prove itl that as
much money can be made per acre Of
land growing and feeding hogs as can
be made producing any ordinary farm
crop that can be produced and sold a.
d raw produce IN our section.
The raw product takes off the farm
all the plant food and humus produced
from the land, while the hogs may be
grown and fed out with the loss of less
than one-fourth OF the plant food and
practically none Of the humus in the
crops on which they are fed. Again,
these hogs may be produced in the
south more cheaply than in the section
that is now furnishing our meat.
You may not believe this. but I
know it to Re a fact, having aised (
goodly number Ct hogs in both sec
lions.
Then the southern farmer has only
to load his hogs Tor meat into the
wagon and deliver direct to the con
sumner almost any where il the south, a.

HIS VIEW THAT OF MANY MEN
Soy Surprised at Idea of Mother Re.
ceiving Wages-"she Don't
Do No Work"

Harking back to women and their
employments, read somewhere lately
a good story of Mrs. Runciman, wife of
the president of the board of eduea-
ton. or, rather a good story told by
her. Mrs. Runciman addressed the pu-
pills Of the high school at Bromley and
said among other things that she ap-
proved of marriage as a profession for
women because most people thought if
women stayed at home to look after a
house they did no work. To emphasize
this she told a story. A growing boy
had obtained a small job-his first
and boasted how much work he did.
Il gets up at half-past five o'clock and
has my breakfast. says he. Anyone
else get up. too?" he was asked. oh,
yes-mother; she gets me breakfast,
and then she gets dads at half-past
six. And your dinner?" .'Oh, moth
er gets that, too; and then she gets
fathers. 2 Has she the afternoon to
herself?" oh, no; she cleans up,
looks after the children, gets the tea
for dad and me when we come home.
We gets our smoke and then We gets
to bed And your mother p Well,
she does azhit Of sewing then. when all
is cleared up after tea. What wages
do you get? '' the boy was asked. Oh,
