The Human Appetite.

OF all the whimsical shifting, unre-
liable, treacherous, exacting things in
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious
There are those who humor it; 9th
ers who defy it; and all men are more
or less inclined to treat it with con-
sideration. To find place where
these varying attitudes may be fos-
tered, at the least cost in each case,
and yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subsection, is always
desirable information, One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted to
this, is the Palace Restaurant, just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city. Try /
once, and patronizc it always; that i,

Story of Lost Letters

9A04 VA AfS0L &NNNNAo
Few persons there are who have not
at some time in their lives thought
that letter sent on some important
errand had been lost, but it is not Of
ten that any explanation can be gain
ed about lost letters, A peculiar story
is told by Mr.. Whyte, manager Of the
Chamber of Commerce, Not long
since there came a big envelope to
the Chamber Of Commerce an en-
velope that contained a calendar, or
some other similar kind OF second
class matter. Being second.class
matter the envelope was not pasted
shut, but the flap was simply tucked
in, When the big envelope was open
ed it was found to contain three ordi-
nary letters, all addressed to persons
in the city Of Chicago. In some way
they had been forced into the large
envelope evidently while all were ~
the mail pouch together, the tucked
in flap permitting them to slide in
very readily. Mr., Whyte took the
three letters TO the postoffice and they
were started back to their addresses
in Chicago, They had come clear
across the continent because of their
accidental insertion in the big en-,
velope, and because they had fallen
into safe hands ultimately reached
their proper destination probably.
That many big envelopes are sent in
the mails, with their flaps merely
tucked in, is we'll known, and perhaps
many other letters have Been lost by
being forced down into them and
reaching the wrong hands.

MIR. Kelley At The Bat

William Kelley, the wood and coal
man, said last night in discussing the
statement heard around the city the
past few days that the new Astoria
Fuel Supply Company has made con
tracts with all the mills in this vicin-
ity to handle all their wood, that ile
didn't care what contracts have beer
made. He said he would still be sell
ing wood and coal to his old custom
ers in the same old way. While Mr.
Kelley is apparently not willing to
state just what his plans are to secure
wood, he says he can get all the wood
he wants and that the country is fu,l
Of it. Also, he AYERS that it will pay
people to wait while longer before
buying, as it is likely, in his Judgment
to be cheaper later on. AS far as i
understood the Astoria Fuel Com
pany has simply gone ahead with
business like methods and made such
contracts as was warranted by its
business Judgment, but incidentally
some seemed to think that the Kelley
Company would be forced to the wall
But Mr.. Kelley says no.

After saloonmen-.-

1t is stated that Councilman Curtis

censes of two saloonkeepers, whose
names are not given out as yet. 1t
is said that these two men are alleged
to have sold their saloons and the
business, which are now being con
Quoted by the new proprietors. The
charter provides that saloon licenses
may not be transferred, and it would
seem as il the licenses can be revoked
| if they are not being used by the real
owners, and if it can be shown they
have actually sold out the businesses,
One OF the licenses is said to have
been granted only a few months ago,
and the other would run until next
fall. The transferring of licenses,
under the lax methods that have OBJ
tanned, used to be very common.
