taurant Keeper, of Whose Food
He Partook Too Freely.
BEAVER FALLS, Pa.-Charles
Weirling, a restaurant proprietor OF
this place, who has been following
this line of business for years, receiv-
ed a most extraordinary conscience
letter recently. 1t contained a Pitts
burg draft for $22.0S. The letter,
which was unsigned, came from Nc
Keesport, and tells it's own story;
Dear Mr.. Wierling: l worked in
one of the factories in your city sew
eral years ago and | boarded at your
restaurant for over some three
months. / used a meal ticket / pur-
chased from you once each week. For
ticket / paid SIS apiece, which made
it cost me "a cents a meal. The tick
cts were good until all the meals had
been punched out and after few
days | came to the conclusion that l
would save money by only eating two
meals a day and making my eating
two meals a day carry me all day and
making my ticket last me longer, so
I eat breakfast enough to keep me up
to late dinner time and this saved me
one meal day. But where L wrong
ed you was this:
II stuffed myself full of your good
grub at the two meals / did eat to
keep me going over dinner time and
to do that | would always call for
second order and would put a lot of
your crackers in my pocket when
got off the table. At the two meals
did eat | would stuff my skin so
full that it was wonder to me did
not bust. but | saved one meal each
day at your expense, and was happy.
l also thought was working a great
scheme and that if I could keep it
I'D long enuf maybe some day would
be a Rockefeller or Carnegie
81 finally lost my job and l think
it was because would eat so much
for breakfast I could not work all
morning, being so stuffed, and in the
afternoon / would be no good either,
as all I would have in me by that
time was a few crackers and things
that left me weak The boss said l
was no good and gave me the gate.
Now, after leaving Beaver Falls
I drifted around in Ohio and finally
came to McKeesport, where I got
Job. and have made good ever since,
as I eat three square meals every
day. When Billy Sunday came to
this city 1 attended the meetings and
finally hit the sawdust trail and have
been living right ever since. But
never could forget how I bamfoozled
you out of "a cents a day about three
months.
Finally | have come to the con-
clusion that never would be a real
good citizen until I would pay back
the money l had cheated you out of,
so I have figured it up as near as
can what I owe you and enclose it
to you in this letter. God bless you
and pray for me-"

visitors to the Abbey Notre Dame du
Lac, at La Trappe, must disemDark'
A trip OF nearly five miles over a
rough and rising road leads thence
! to the abbey, which is occupied by
about so priests and brothers OF a
monastic order whose severity OF dis
! cipline is famous.
The monks live, like the apostles,
nv manual labor of the seyerest KIND,
and though scientists and scholars
are among them all members OF the
order must literally earn their bread
nv the sweat of their brOWs and the
severe work necessary in the various
branches of the agricultural industry
is performed in allotted tasks by the
brotherhood.
Absolute silence is imposed, except
upon those who must occasionally
deal with visitors Squads of monks
work all day together without sin
gle spoken word, though sign Ian
guage has been evolved by which
heads of departments may direct
their comrades.
The Daily Routine.
The monks rise at ! a. m. on the
church holidays, at 1870 on Sundays
and at 2 on other days, and immedi =
ately repair to the chapel for pray
ers. which are followed by the mass
for the brothers, celebrated at a.
m, in summer and at in the winter
After the service the brothers dis
perse to their various tasks and
mass for the priests is celebrated.
The days work begins at in the
summer and at in the winter, and
all retire at in summer and at z in
winter. an hour of repose being al
lowed at noon during the warm sea-
son. Practically all of the time not
given to the daily manual labor is
occupied in praying and studying.
Vegetables, fruits, bread and milk
are the only articles of food allowed
the monks except during the summer
season, the period of hardest labor,
when a cup of tea is provided each
morning, with two ounces OF bread
and an apple or an equivalent
amount of other fruit. A teaspoon
full of olive oil is allowed with vege-
tables
Only in case of severe illness is
the use of meat permitted. From
Easter to September ID two meals
are allowed; in addition there is a
light morning refraction, known as
the "mixtum. A strict fast is kept
from September IA to Easter. Dur
ing this period the evening meal
gives way to a slight collation. and
the "mixtum" is suppressed. The
superior uses his discretion in grant
ing extra nourishment to those whose
health may require it.
The Monkish Three Spices.
Though no articles of food except
those named are allowed the monk
ish three spices, early rising, fasting
and hard work, appear to render
them sufficiently appetizing. Bloom

declined to tell much about the conver-

leaked out in devious ways that Engel
was given to understand that, while he
has plenty Of native ability he will never
show It on the mound until he obeys
orders. and that unless he obeys orders
from now on he may be shunted OF to
the bushes.
Manager Griffith complains of Engers

Back in the days of 1907, 1903, and 1909
Hughey Jennings was being lauded as
the smartest of baseball generals. All
around the circuit there was praise for
the skipper of the Detroit Tigers. In
a single season he developed a sixth
place team into a pennant winner. and
had it on top for three successive years
IN the American League.
But while the Tigers were prosper
ing and folks spoke kind words to
Hughey, the always replied:
Give all the credit to the boys, not
me They're winning the games and
I'm just one OF them. You don't see
me punching out a hit in the pinch or
fooling the batter when he must be

After three straight years Of success
and prosperity, the tide turned. They
don't herald Jennings the greatest of
all greats In the eyes Of the fans,
Hughey is not such a brainy fellow any
more
But Jennings statement came tue.

be renewed and show why the Tigers
aren't the same ,teTrors of the IeagIe.

Why aren't the Tigers winning rem

The answer comes b. comparing the

DETROIT. Mich. July 10.-Score loss

lowing the double bill yesterday which
went at to 3 for the Tigers and 20

the second Western engagement. We
should have had two, and there Is no
one to blame for the loss of the first but
Sir Robert Groom.

in the very first round Of the first game
scoring when, after Danny Moeller

TO third on Milan's single. Hugh High
heayed to Witt TO get Foster at third,
and when Witt threw to Bush to get
Milan at second the throw was wild,
and midget Foster trotted across with a
run.
In the second the Tigers evened up
tallying when Moeller allowed Veach's
single to get through his legs for triple
and after Gamer had flied to Morgan,
Mckee poled Feach across the plate.
There was no more scoring until the
sixth when Dauss was safe on a tap
to Foster Bush's attempt to bunt was
bobbled by Groom, and after Witt had
gotten an infeld single filling the bases.
and Crawford had forced Dauss at the
plate, Groom walked Veach sending

Umpires are placed up behind the
