A STARTLING BILL.
Five Thousand Refs For Two Meals In
Brazilian Hotel.

Five Thousand Refs For Two Meals In
Brazilian Hotel.
Hotels are few and i'll conducted in
the Brazilian coast towns, although
an occasional good one is met with.
Americans who patronize a Brazilian
hotel or restaurant for the first time
are generally treated to surprise
when the bill is presented. Two
young sailors had dinner one day in
Pernambuco, and, to their horror, the
bill was 5000 refs.
They nearly tainted and would have
fed without attempting to settle; but,
there being no chance Of escape, they
dubbed together all the money they
had, about $12, and humbly offered it
to the proprietor. Instead Of having
them thrown into Jail, he laughed and
explained that their bill in American
coin was $3.50.
He furthermore explained that the
basis Of Brazilian currency is an i'm
aginary coin called a reis, 1000 OF
which make a milreis. Everything
is counted in reis, and the figures have
very imposing sound-200 reis for a
ride on a street car, 100 refs for hav-
ing your boots BACKED, a million reis
for house, and so on. It is silly
system, but the Brazilians seem to
think it observation-disclosures

So FiIkins Had Little Talk With the
Customs Inspector.
Filkins had just returned from a six
months tour of the continent, and his
trunks and boxes were numerous. With
considerable anxious care he had pre-
pared his declaration, but when he
saw the eagle eyed inspector plunge
over him. Could he by any POSSIBLE
ity have forgotten anything? And if
so and it was brought to light would
he have to suffer the pain and humil-
iation of arrest? Rapidly he ran over
in his mind the dutiable objects that
he remembered having heard that 9th
ers had brought in-clothing, objects
of art, books, brio a-brac, jewels, mu-
steal instruments-ah, his heart stood
still-musical instruments-pian vio-
Inns, flutes. organs
With beating heart he approached
the inspector.
els there any duty on organs?" he
asked in a trembling voice.
'"There is" said the inspector, fixing
q cold, steely eye upon him.
'Then," said Filkins, Il desire to
withdraw my declaration for a mo-
ment.''
"What for?" demanded the inspec-
tor.
II wish to amend it, said Filkins.

All night long the folks on the farm
Had searched for the little child
Who had strayed the afternoon before
And the mothers grief was Wild
Neighbors in vain searched wood and DELL
The roads. barns, haystacks even the we'll.
The peddler's wagon was brilliant red,
And yellow its four wheels glowed,
It was hung with brooms and shiny tins,
And rag sacks were it's load,
Drawn by gray horses at easy jog,
While under it trotted little brown dog.
Whoa" cried the peddler, whats wrong
The mother wept as her arms she tossed.
The neighbors: "She thinks he's dead
Her two year old little boy is lost
"Get me his Shoes said the peddler man;
You cannot find him. Here's one who can"
'Come here Jip! Smell these shoes and see
If you can find. I'll bet he cam"
Jip smelled the shoes, then nosed the ground,
Then out the gate to the meadow ran,
And after the dog the peddler flew,
And after him neighbors and mother too.
UPS sharp nose to the trail he kept,
Up hill, down hollow where grass was deep,
He knew by the scent where the feet had led,
And barked when he found him-fast asleep
Tear-stained, hungry and frightened too,
At the barking and shouting and hullabaloo.
Baby close in glad arms was clasped,
| Fed and KISSED while his mother smiled.
| "A hundred dollars the father said
"I'll give for the dog that found my child!''
The peddler patted the little brown head
money won't buy little Jip," he said
