B~artender's Suggestion to Rough Look
Ing, but Wealthy, Patron, Was
Meant to Be Kindly.

Tetlow Is a man Of substance and Of
some standing. He even lays claim to
some literary ability, but he has care
less habits. If his wife didn't watch
him closely he would wear the same
suit of clothes from one years end to
the other. He never thinks of getting
shaved until some one asks him If
he is trying to raise a beard. Natu-
rally, he is apt to be misjudged by
those who have nothing but his ap-
pearance to go upon.
Drinking whisky is one of his fads
He takes a drink when he likes it,
and that Is rather frequently, and he
gets 1t wherever he happens to be.
The other day he was in front Of one
of the new palatial hotels and thought
he would see what sort of refreshment
vas served there. He asked for his
favorite brand and the bartender set
the bottle before him. Now Tetlow
lis not a heavy drinker. although a
frequent one, SO he poured out a very
moderate amount.
The bartender looked his Ill fitting
and well worn clothes over and then
glanced at the shallow drink he had
measured out
"See here, old man" said the bar
tender, that's going to set you back
20 cents You might az well get your
moneys worth" .
Tetlow slammed down q ten dollar
bill, got his change and walked out,

Fish ArtIhoIaIIv coIored.

One Of the strangest possible com.
mercial frauds has recently been ex-
posed by an inspector of the Pennsyl.
vania food bureau. His attention was
struck by the rich red color of some
smoked fish that was on sale IN the
"delicatessen" stores of Philadelphia.
He bought some and sent 1t to an anal
yst. who reported that he could dye
wool with the coloring matter extract
ed from It The retailers declared
their innocence. maintaining that they
had purchased the stuff in the belief
that 1t was genuine smoked fish The
object Of the wholesalers is clear, in
view Of the fact that in smoking fish
there is a loss of 15 pounds in every
100 pounds. while in dying there Is no
loss at all
