No one was up. and there was another

The Rare Gin of courtesy.

Courtesy includes not merely social
kindness. graces Of speech. absence OF
rudeness, but honorable treatment OF
business associates and of all the fell
low citizens with whom a man OF at
fairs may have business to transact.
1t Is not American to keep one citi-
zen waiting all day at the door be-
cause he is poor. and to grant an
other citizen an interview because 1t
is believed he is rich. Wisdom Is not
confined in a purse, and frequently
much wisdom may be learned from a
poor man.

Dog Rescues Pet Frog.

When George M. Wallace, res
taurant man, of Chester, Penn, pur-
chased a consignment of bullfrogs
from a dealer in Philadelphia, some
time ago, there was one whopping
big fellow in the lot he decided to
place in the window of his eating
house. The frog formed a strong at
tachment for Bob handsome fox
terrier dog belonging to Mr.. Wallace.
and the strangely assorted friends
had many a romp together. A few
days ago Wallace decided to give his
frog liberty. Taking him down to

to the water Bob, the dog, was at
the heels of his master. He dive1
into the water, grabbed the frog in
his mouth and brought him to shore.

Weather Makes the Tipplers.

"Of all depressing places in the
world | put Glasgow, Scotland, in the
front rank said Mr.. Arthur K. Hud
son, a member of the San Francisco
board of trade.
THE reason lies in the beastly eli
mate. In the year I was compelled
to remain there by business reasons
it must have rained 800 days out of
the 365. The last week of my stay
the weather was so dismal from the
rain that came down so monotonously
that we were forced to burn lights
the whole time in order to see how
to work. No wonder the average
man in Glasgow has an appetite for
ardent spirits and that many of its
women are habitual tipplers. With
skies that are eternally weeping and
with an atmosphere that is reeking
with moisture it is natural that peo-
ple seek the comfort of artificial slim
ulation. If they had our sunny skies
they wouldn't drink half SO much"

A certain indianapolis lawyer, who
has a good practice now, quit drink
ing whisky and beer and other in
toxicants, too, for that matter, two
or three years ago, and he didn't take

sa1oonkeeper of whom the lawyer
bought most of his liquor admins
tered the cure and it has been eff
fective.
For several years the lawyer had
been buying nearly all of his drinks
at this particular saloon. He paid his
bills there the same as he paid his
grocery bills Finally the old sa-
lonnkeeper bought a house and lot,
and he employed another lawyer who
never bought drinks to prepare the
abstract and the deed and transact
other business in connection with the
the deal. The lawyer who had been
the regular customer heard about it.
He went at once to demand an ex-

road through Tacoma will not go
through the Betx buildings, 500 feet
long, located at Pacific and Seven

900. South of the Betz buildings
run the Northern Pacific main line
tracks. AS a result of the recent Har-
riman's road a 50-foot right of way
along the side of, instead of through
the Betz buildings. Through this
part of the city the Hartman rail-
road will run on steel trestle 80
feet above the grade crossings.
The original Hartman surveys
were made over three years ago. This
month Mr. Hartman was here, and
Mr.. Betz, who is a wealthy retired
Walla Walla brewer, sought an in
terview with him at the Union club.
Mr. Betz protested against the propo-
sal of the railroad company to dam
age his property.
1t is said that Mr.. Hartman pulled
a half dollar from his pocket and of
fered to flip the coin to determine
whether his railroad should pay Mr..
Betz a million dollar damages or
nothing. Mr.. Betz would not gam

that to save the damages involved the
