ROYALTIES TIPS AR LARGE
Crowned Heads Expend Large Sums

Have Served Them.

When a man begins to grumble at

The sums paid out BY royalty In tip
ping servants while on a visit would
support several families for q year.

hours. never to leave without be-
slowing notes among the servants. II
IL said that when he visited for the
weekend he seldom left less than
$1,000 TO be distributed as tips.
When the king went to a shooting
party each beaten received s. and the
head keeper $25 or more according
TO the duration Of the visit. The
kaiser Is said TO be the most liberal
Upper among royalty OF Europe. II
Is said that every servant in house
which he visits Is sure to be remem-
bered. The day before a visit comes

steward an envelope containing the

Considerable of a Hit With
Storekeeper.

A certain class Of shopkeepers try
to force their wares upon passers-by
A traveller determined to teach one
of these a lesson. The offender was
a clothing dealer, and mad a way Of
almost dragging people into his place.
One day the traveller stopped for q
moment 10 examine a coat hanging in
front of the establishment, when out
darted the clothier who asked:
Wont you try on one OF those
coats?"
Il don't know but will,' responded
the traveller, consulting his watch. Il
have some time to spare. Yes"
He went in; but no matter how
often he found his fit, he called for
more coats. Finally, when he had
tried on thirty or more, he looked at
his watch, resumed his own garment.
and walked out, saying as he went:
Good day, old chap. won't charge
you anything for what I've done.

Why laps Are underslzed.

Every one Is eager to add to his
fund OF information concerning the
Japanese. and there are not many lay
men who can tell why the Japs are
understood. Japanese surgeons have
made measurements OF their army,
which show that the smallness of the
stature is due entirely to the almost
dwarfed condition OF the legs. This
Is no doubt due to the fact that from
childhood the Japanese practices an
unnatural way Of sitting upon the legs.
When Japanese child is old enough
to sit upon the floor his legs are bent
under him. This in time dwarfs the
growth of the limbs. Actual deform-
ity Is less common among the peas
ants than among students, merchants
and others OF sedentary habits. There
Is no doubt the coming Japanse, who
are rapidly acquiring Occidental Gus
toms. will change this habit OF sitting
upon the feet.

THE RE ARE THREE
GOOD REASONS why

TIL ERE ARE THREE
GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one-it will pay you well
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. Center
of population of the U. ST.
Here we have a $1,750,000
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 2O% january 1st,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
before in the history of this
industry has a new con-
Germ, having bought the
plants and assets of a bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.

pa.ed in them.
Now, after the lapse Of exactly one
year. the new building is rapidly TAX

pie, and Is daily showing more fully
what a splendid structure IL is 10 be-
just what this new building means TO

terprise.

II might be suggested on this ami

campaign for the buildiag fund. that
the few contributors who are behind
with the payment Of their installments
will greatly assist the work Of the
building committee by taking care OF
their obligations promptly.
