KING TO SHOOT GROUSE.

London, Aug. 12.-August IL Is the
legal opening date for the grouse
shooting season on the moors of Scot
land and the north of England, and
there was the usual big exodus OF
sportsmen to the north today. Pros.
poets this season are exceptionally
good. King George will entertain a
large party of noble sportsmen at
Moy Hall, near Inverness, and will
shoot over the famous grouse moors
OF the Macintosh of Macintosh,
twenty-eighth chief of the Clan Chat
tan. AS Prince of Wales his majesty
frequently shot over these moors, and
holds the record score for one day.
The surroundings are most pictur-
esque. Each morning of his stay at
Moy the king will be awakened by
Scottish airs played on bagpipe. In
the drawing room at Moy is the table
at which Prince Charlie dined after
the battle of Cullodon, sword worn
by Charles /, and many other objects
of historic interest.
Nearly all the great mobiles and men
of wealth of Engladn have deserted
the capital for the moors, and a num-
Der of Americans have also taken
shootings. Bradley Martin, as usual,
has rented the Balmachan forest from
the Dowager Countess Of Seafield, and
Franklin D. Pelton has taken Castle
Forbes from Lord Forbes.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT
IBy Bryan Civic League

Since the organization of the Civic
League rather little has been done to
inspire the ladies of this club to con.
tinue the high mission they have un-
dertaken Of introducing more sanitary
conditions in Bryan. Not alone that
they get very little help or assistance
from the masters of creation" it is
even more deplorable that from our
own sex this organization, which Is
such noble one. gets so little encour-
agement-bitter encouragement.
Bryan boasts of a population of over
five thousand, and is it not a disgrace
that the Civic League has not today a
membership of at least five hundred
We all know well every woman has an
eye for art, beauty and cleanliness:
then how badly must she feel when
she leaves her pretty, clean home,
either on errands, on business or max
ing calls, and meets in town, in the
public streets and other places, dirt,
dust and disorder! And with what
feelings does she return home! Each
one has experienced this for herself.
And we could alter all these disagree
able things if, instead of three or four
dozen members, we had five hundred
What is one dollar yearly fees to
person? And only consider what it
would amount to If we could yearly
expend $500 to beautify this town! Is
this not appealing to every woman
who takes only little bit of interest
and pride in the city wherein she
makes her home? / am sure that with
this amount we could remove all the
weeds which make some parts Of
Bryan look as if they were still in
chaos.
Persons could be hired to pick up
and destroy all the papers which come
from every direction without any
charge or penalty to the former owner,
as once happened to an American (who
not long ago visited lovely Dresden,
which, on account of its great cleanli-
ness and superb beauty, is the attrac-
ton of all travellers and tourists, who
carelessly dropped piece of letter
in the street. Soon thereafter polite
officer brought him back his loss,
claiming one mark Chat is rs cents)
was found in a place where 1t did not
belong If such law could be intro
duced in Texas, how many dollars
could not the state collect from care
less paper throwers! A law like that
would soon improve and beautiy ev-
cry place, so that as clean, pretty Ores
den and beautiful, modern Berlin are
the attractions for the rich Americans
to go there, not alone to visit but to
make their homes, Texas would soon
be the attraction for the Germans.
Therefore, ladies', Bryan ladies, help
us, join us, unite with us, help us to
go on with the work We have under
taken so we may soon reap what we
are planting.

European Hotels.

Most American travellers on their
first trips on the continent Of Europe
are astounded when upon the day OF
their departure from hotel they are
presented with their bill by the head
waiter instead Of by the landlord or
by his chief clerk. But 1t is the Gus,
tom, and this important individual is
thus assured Of his tip. But they fret
and fume inwardly as they think Of
ell the other servants to be tipped
and usually end by giving each one
about three times what he expects.
There are two ways Of avoiding this
worry If they only knew. In small no.
tells and pensions where an average Of
81 or 10 francs day is paid for pen
sion it Is proper to allow l franc
day for each person for service and
when going away divide it according
ly among those who have served you.
In larger hotels more satisfactory
way is to take 10 per cent Of the hotel
bill. whatever it Is, add 1t to the
amount Of the bill and request the
head waiter to divide 1t among the
servants. Thus is the tipping ques-
ton very much simplifed.-New York
Tribune.
