This story was told at q prominent
club the other day by a man who had
met Lord Decies in one Of his vigakx to
London. Although Lord Decfes 1s an
experienced and Travelled man Of the
world, he does not believe In throw nag
away money in those extravaganza tips
that characterize Americans and that
are very often mistaken generosity.
The Englishman also is quite able to
take his own part il his reasonable tips
are taken unreasonabIy, as was evil
denced one day when he had taken a
cab to the club.
When he alighted and paid the driver
cabby seemed to think his tip was too
small.
-'Wot's this ERE for, my 1ord7'' said
the cabby, regarding with some con-
tempt the coin he held in his hand.
Drink, should be inclined to think,
Judging by your nose," was the polite
and effective reply OF Lord Decies as
he vanished into the club.-New York

An Example Of DARING.

During the hottest fighting in the
shipka pass the leading battalion of the
Russian General Dragomiroff's division
recoiIed before a hailstorm Of Turkish
bullets. The general was a very stout
person and had the appearance Of a
peaceful German professor. But when
he saw his men recoi1 he dismounted
and walked slowly to and fro along a
ridge swept by the enemy's bullets.
He was a hundred yards in advance of
the men, occupying the position they
had abandoned. After staying there
for awhile without being touched he
shouted back to the battalion: "What
are you doing, you geese2 Did you
think there was danger here? don't
md anyv' The men responded with a
roar OF cheers, doubled up to him and
charged so hercely that the Turks were
forced to retreat.

FIan,e and Wire aauze.

To Sir Humphry Davy belongs the
credit of discovering that the fame of
burning gas will not pass through wire
gauze having 1874 meshes to the square
inch. This contention may be tested
by bringing q fame in contact with
similar gauze; when it will be found
that the fame will not so through the
meshes. This is owing to the cooling
action of the wire, which tends to re-
duce the temperature Of the fame be-
low the ignition point, the unburned
gas passing harmlessly through. Of
course If the gauze becomes overheated
the flame is able to get through.

ROB STORE AT
CREENCREEK
Edward Koester, Arrested
and Bound Over to District
Court---In Jail

The Greencreek store and post
office, which has been the scene
of several robberies in the past
was again entered and pilfered
last Sunday night and, owing to
the youth and ignorance of the
one doing the work., the sheriff
now has the guilty party safely
locked up behind the bars.
The discovery of the robbery
was made by Mr.. Hoffman, pro-
prietor of the store when he OPP
ened up for business Monday
morning and it did not take long
to discover the absence of num-
Der of articles from the store, as
well as the small change from
the post office till The thief
had gained entrance to the store
by breaking out a window pane
and opening a window, after
which he took his time in collect
ing the articles that pleased his
fancy. From the things taken
and the peculiar actions of the BIO.
before, suspicion at once fasten-
ed upon Edward Rooster, young
man who formerely resided with
his parents near Greencreek, and
who worked there during the sum
mer. Tracks leading from the
store were followed for a distance
and other evidence tended t
point strongly to Koesler as be
ing the guilty one and the sheriff
was notified to come to Green
creek and take charge Of the CASE
On Wednesday. Koesler wal
seen at this place by a Green
creek resident who recognized thu
overshoes he was wearing as
pair that had been taken from th'
store and he at once notified
Mr.. Hoffman of his discover,
In the meantime koesler took ;
