Won't Cooperate

Upland, Neb., July 3l.-(Special.)
john Schafer of Upland has dis
covered a unique way of keeping cat
tie from getting out Of the pasture.
A few years ago he had two cows
that would 60 over, under or through
any fence he could put up. He used
every device that others suggested,
but with poor success. The pasture
was good, but the cows kept very
poor.
At length he decided to try chain
ing the two together with short
chain around their necks, so short
that neither could step over it.
Eurekal He had found the Sc
cret. The cows never learned CO.
operation when they wanted to get
over the fence.
Since then Mr.. Schafer has used
this device many times. This sum-
mer he has two pairs yoked together
with chains and they are doing well.

First there is the chambermaid and
her assistant, then the valet who
shines shoes and presses clothes and
then the waiter and bus boy who
serves breakfast. as the dining rooms
are never open for breakfast. Then
there is the head waiter and the lead
er of the orchestra.
Finally there are three different
porters who handle trunks and bag
gage, besides the head porter, the
concierge and flunkeys, grooms and
the omnibus driver.
Thus there are about 20 persons

Paris, July 31.-American tourists
whose protests against excessive ho-
tel prices and the extortionate tip
ping nuisance have been filling the
Paris press, are now finding sup
porters among French vacationists.
Professional Franco-American
boosters have been defending the
hotel and restaurant proprietors,
stating the prices are necessarily
high and asserting that the same
rates are charged the French peo-
pie as the Americans.
Now when the French people arr
beginning to take their vacations
they too are complaining even loud
er and more enegetically than the
Americans.
Senator Leroux yesterday pub
lished column and a half on the
first page Of the Echo de Paris re-
garding the "hold-up of American
tourists" When a French senator
writes at length on the subject it
indicates the seriousness OF the sit
uation and that the French them
selves realize its gravity. The SEN
ator warns the hotel keepers that
100000 American tourists should
have visited France this year instead
OF the 10000 who came.
Admits Justice OF Complaints.
During his vacation the senator
said he underwent experiences that
forced him to admit the justice of
American complaints that their bills
were excessive, they being required
to pay a 10 per cent luxury tax. a
10 per cent municipal tax, 7 franc
daily head tax and tips amounting to
from 80 to 40 per cent of their bills.
