MOST COSTLY TIP ON RECORD
Wealthy Brewer Backed His Favorlte
Waiter to Tune of $4,000
and Lost.

This is the story OF the most costly
tip of recent record. A wealthy brew
er admired the manner IN which his
waiter cared for him at the club.
philip" the brewer would say. get
me a quail"
Here is your quail. Mr.. Gehret,"
the waiter would report. Il made the
chef go away from the stove and
broiled II myself"
Whereupon Mr.. Gehret would smile
upon Philip fondly. and Philip would
go back to the kitchen to take anoth-
er quail from the hands of the cook
for some other patron. One day he
called Philip over. Here. my man.,
said he. peeling of a $500 bill.
There's little reward for your cour-
tesy and care"
Philip held up a protesting hand.
He didn't think II would be honest, he
said. The club did not allow him to
take tips. except through the Christ
mas box. 1t was not that he could
not use the money, or that he did not
appreciate Mr. Gehret's generosity,
but he really must decline. EXIT
Philip, wiping tears out of his eyes
with a napkin. Mr.. Gehret was pro-
foundly impressed.
A few weeks later Philip discovered
to Mr. Gehret an excellent business
opportunity uptown. "Ah." sighed
Philip. "if only had the money"
Mr.. Gehret offered to stake him
and did, to the tune of $4,000. The
last of the $4,000 was spent the 9TH
er day, and Philip is back at the club.
Now and then the patron and the
waiter-both good losers-grin at
each other across the linen.
After all, Philip" says Mr.. Gehret.

The city OF New York owns 943 par.
cells Of land. Nearly all OF this land
was bought before 1850. In one case
a parcel Of land has increased in value
over $500 per cent. in sixty years. In
many cases there have been increases
Of 1000 to 5000 per cent. in the same
period. There were 95 cases In which
land had increased in value 500 per
cent. and over 300 pieces that have
doubled in value since they were

As to complaints regarding ungrateful

seems to me, neither with the average par

a result of the present money mad, sensa-

4 REALTY SWAP AT
 PANAMA AND COLON

The New York Tribune calls at tention to an exchange of real estate at the Pacific and Atlantic terminals of the Pansma Canal which greater events have overshadowed but which are of importance.
 A part of the waterfront of COlon has been acquired by our government in exchange for certain lands con,iZ- uous to the city of Panama, needed by the people of that city to afford them a means Of reaching other parts of the republic without crossing tHe canal gene.
 These two cities were reserved to Panama under the term of the treaty. Panama now owns and controls the land lying between the city of Panama and the eastern boundary of the
 Canal zCne, making the city about directly upon the territory of the re- public of which it is the capital which, strangely enough, was not for merly the case.
 The United States government ac quires that part of the waterfront ol Colon which faces Limon bay, which while of no use to Panama. is tC be made part of the anchorage basil ! at the Atlantic or northern terinina ! of the canal We also acquire foul l small islands in the bay of Panama.

, NOT AN ACCIDENT
 BUT A CRIME

2 There ought to be some way to punish somebody with the greatest severity for that disaster at Austin and Costello, Pennsylvania last Sat urday night That was not an act of God. It was not an accident, but crime The owners Of the broken dam which poured half billion gallons of water along a narrow and thickly populated valley, are, Of course, chief ly to blame but not wholly; some crime attaches to the negligent authorities.
 The dam was known to be unsafe There was a defect in the construc- ton. pointed out by the engineer who designed it. In January of this year the structure "buckled' and at the center moved forward forty inches. The people of the valley and the towns below fled to the hills and then Q breach was made in the structure with dynamite and the water was let out. That breach, of course, was repaired and it might be supposed that the defects, attention to which had been called by the engineer, would be remedied.
 He doesn't know whether they were or not. In the nature of things ii would take long time to remove a condition which would leave it DOS sible for the base of the dam to slide forward more than three feet. Bu not much time was occupied by re pairs for very shortly after the emp tying Of the dam .t was allowed t' fill
 The defects of construction appea 10 have permeated the entire worl for it is stated by a resident of Ari zona who was frightened cut of tha death valley, that a very short tim after its c0ls.ructioa huge era Ks il the cement work began to run dow from the top.

 Prof. E. Shimek of the State Uni versity of Iowa has been studying this question in Iowa, where the tree less prairie originally covered more than seven ighths of the total area of the state. He finds that the ab- sence of trees is not due primarily to the soil or the topography, nor to such causes as prairie fires, the for mer abundance of the bison. etc, but is an effect of climate. Moreover, it is not due to a deficient rainfall so much as to an excessive rate of eyap- oration. The prairie acres are uni formly so situated that they are fIl Iy exposed to the factors which cause rapid evaporation, namely. the sun and the wind. During much of the year they may present conditions quite favorable 10 plant growth, but there are seasons and there are DOT tions Of the year, especially in mid summer, when evaporation and con. seguent desiccation become 50 ex' treme that only those plants which are especially adapted to dry regions can survive"

WORK AND LOVE OF WORK.

Portland Evening Telegram.)
 The virtue that lies in the gospel of work, we venture to say, is eXem- pHeed only when the man is in love with that which he has to do That is the condition that has been the basis of all work that has moved the world along, whether in politics. art, industry. literature or religion. 1t is a gospel sound 10 the core if it's con ditions be met: and in the training of youth for the duties of manhood 1t should be more the business of SO eiety to see that the conditions are met.
