fore United States Commissioner Alex
ander at p NJ. Feb. to be examined
as to his knowledge of the 1nanipula-
ton of the Hooking Coal & Iron stock

Tired of being followed constantly by
process servers and nettled by the
statements in the morning papers that
he evaded the subpoena servers, Mr..
Keene decided to accept service.

L. Ernst, receiver for the failed firm of
j. M. Fiske & Co., upon whose instruc-
lions the subpoena was obtained from
Judge Adams, learned on reaching his
Office at 10 o'clock that Mr.. Keene had
called him UP three times. Mr.. Wolf
called up Mr.. Keene, who said he had
not avoided service and was glad to

The following statement was issued
by Mr.. Keenes secretary at 80 Broad
street: 1T was announced at Mr..
Keene's Office that there was not the
slightest foundation for the reports Of
his having evaded the service of SUBJ
pena to testify in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings. Arrangements made several
weeks ago required Mr.. Keene to be
absent from the city during next week.
As soon as he had learned that his
examination was desired he notified
Hays, Hershfield & Wolf, the attor-
neys. that he was at their service, but
desired the matter to stand over for
a week for his convenience.
ITO this they readily consented, and

WHOM THE TIP HELPS

Did you ever wonder why sleeping
car companies tolerate tipping? There's
reason, says the Haverhill Ga
zette" 1t was disclosed the other day
in a law suit in a new York York
court in which a sleeping car porter
was forced to testify as to the wages
paid him. He declared that the COM
pany employing him paid him only $25
a month"; and that the tips he collected
amounted to about $75 a month on the
average. In other words, the sleeping
car company pays its employees only
one-fourth of their wages and compels
the travelling public to pay the other
three-fourths. When you tip the por-
ter remember that you are not really
tipping him, but the sleeping car COM
pany Every time you tip the porter,
you are adding to the size of the
company's dividends, already swelled
beyond a reasonable return upon the
actual capital invested. If the sleep
ing car companies employ 10000 por-
ters and the public pays 5000 of the
annual wages of each, it Is contrib
uting annually S9000,000 to the COM
panies, in itself enough to pay per
cent. on $150,0000 900, to say nothing of
the profit the companies collect in
their high prices for sleeping car ac-
commodations. If the companies made
no other profit, the tips it forces from
the public would be enough. Tipping
is outrageous, but save your indigna-
tion for the companies behind the por-
ter and do not vent it all on him.
Your tips really go to the companies,
and they count on them as part of
their profits.

THE CANADIAN FARMERS
ANNUAL GAMBLE WITH NATURE

For ten days and ten nights, early
is uneasy, says Fred Bates Johnson in
Success Magazine. The hot sun of
long summer day helps the feeble
patches of yellow in the grain to make
deep inroads into the mass of green.
Day by day the conquering yellow
sends its color over the receding green,
until the field stands half and half.
Night by night the homesteader watch
es the temperature, the winds, the
clouds Each night is a bit colder
than the preceding one. There Is the
suggestion of frost in the air early one
morning. The grain is now yellow with
patches of green-the reverse of last
weeks condition. Under the influence
of the blazing. burning sun, the yell
low throws off the suggestion of frost
and wades into the fast disappearing
ranks of green Two or three days
more and the green is gone, routed,
vanqu,shed. The yellow, now tipping
into golden brown, dominates the field.
Another day or so, and early one morn
ing a binder sings in the field. The
grain is ripe and ready. 1t has been
saved. and none is there to care for
the biting, stinging. killing frost that
comes a few nights later. The home
gambled with nature-and won.
And this is the annual gamble that
human beings are making with nature
all throughout these western provinces
of Canada. During the ten day period
of ripening season every year there is
the danger that a killing frost will
catch the grain. The margin of time
between the ripening and the killing
frosts is so small that everywhere in
these grain growing provinces there is
that anxious ten day period-the anx-
iety based on the fear that the margin
of safety will disappear and the frost
catch the grain before it is ripe and
ready.
This, fundamentally, is the heart of
the Western Canada proposition, and
the people living there realize 1t.
Travelling through these provinces,
talking with the elevator men, the
merchants, the farmers, the bankers,
the homesteaders, one cannot but catch
this note of uneasiness. 1t is in the
air. Consciously or subconsciously, it
is in every ones mind True, in the
few years that grain has been grown
in this country, the farmer has always
won the chance but by so close a
margin that there always remains be-
hind the fear-the great fear of the
northwest prairies country

NOT BROUGHT UP

Somewhat damped. Severne took his
manuscript home with him. There he
reread it. All his old enthusiasm re-
turned. 1t was exactly true. Realism
could have had no more accurate ex-
position of its principles. He cursed
Brown and inclosed stamps to the
Decade. After a time he received a
check and a flatterlng letter. Realism
stood vindicatedl
In due course the story appeared
During the interim Severne had found
that his glooming was becoming alto
eether too realistic for his peace of
mind. AS time went on he saw moth
ing of Lucy Melville and he began to
realize that perhaps after all he was
making a mistake somewhere. At GER
tain recklessly immoral moments he
even thought a very little of proving
false to art. To such depths can the
human soul descend.
The evening after the appearance of
his story in the Decade he was sitting
in front of his open fire in very much
that mood. The lamps had not been
lighted. To him came Mortimer, his
man. "a Teddy to see you sir; no
name" he announced solemnly.
Severne arose in some surprise.
Light the lamp and show her up"
he commanded, wondering who she
could be.
At the sound of his voice the visitor
pushed into the room past Mortimer.
'Never mind the lamp" cried Lucy
the room and-off1cially-hear no
more.
"Why, Lucy!" cried Severne.
In the dim light he could see that
her cheeks were glowing with excite
ment. She crossed the room swiftly
and put her hands on his shoulders.

her eyes, 'I know I ought not to be
here, but I just couldn't help it! Af-
ter you were so noble! And it won't
matter, for I'm going in just min
ute"
Severne cast his mind back in re-
view of his noble acts. What is 1t,
Lucy?" he inquired.
"As If you could ask" she cried. II
never knew of a mans doing so tactfu1
and graceful and beautiful thing in
my life! And I don't care a bit and
/ believe you were right, after all"
Fright about what?' he begged, get
ting more and more bewildered.
about the realism. of course"
She looked up at him again, point
ing her chin in the most adorable
fashion. Even serious minded men
have moments of lucidity. Severne had
one now.
"Oh. no. you mustn't, Bob-dear!"
she cried blushing.
But, really, Bob" she went on, after
a moment, "even if realism is all right
you must admit yourself that your last
story is the best you ever wrote"
"Why, yes, do think So" he agreed.
wondering what that had to do with 1t.
"I'm so glad you do. Do you know,
Bob" she continued happily, 81 read it
all through before I noticed whose 1T

self, T do wish Bob could see this

the end and saw your signature and
realized that you had deserted your
literary principles just for my sake,
and had actually gone to work and
written such a splendid imaginative
story after all you had said; and then,

way you had taken to let me know
because, of course, l never read that
mogazine of Brown's-oh, Bob" she
concluded quite out of breath.
Severne hestated for almost a min
ute. He saw his duty plainly; he was
serious minded; he had no sense of
humor Then she looked up at him as
before, pointing her chin out in the
most adorable fashion.
"Oh, Bob! Again! 1 really don't
