ARKANSANS ROBBED
IN ST. LOUIS HOTEL.
Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Gaines Lose
Diamonds and Watch Valued
at $3,000 in Hotel Jeffer
son—A Very Cool
Burglar.
St. Louis, Oct. 7.—Oita of th6
boldest robberies ever perpe
trated in St. Louis occurred
shortly after 7 o’clock this morn
ing, when a fashionably dressed
man entered the apartments of
A. B. Gaines, one of the owners
of the Arlington and Eastman
hotels at Hot, Springs, and of
the Jefferson hotel, St. Louis, on
the fourth floor of the latter hos
telry, and succeeded in escaping
with seven diamond rings be
longing to Mrs. Gaines and a
handsome gold watch, the prop
erty of Mr. Gaines, all valued at
$3,000.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Gaines
were asleep when tn,e tmei en
tered the room through the hall
door, which had been left un
locked by Mrs. Gaines ten min
utes before when she summoned
a bellboy with ice water. Mrs.
Gaines, who had just dozed to
Sleep when the thief entered,
was awakened by his movements
about the room. Mr. Gaines
Slept soundly in the next room.
Mr. and Mrs. Gaines’ oldest son
was also sleeping.
“What are you doing in this
room?” Mrs. Gaines asked the
thief, asi she partly rose from
her bed. He was close to the
bureau drawer, where a tray
containing the, diamonds and
watch lav.
Mrs. Gaines’ unexpected query
did not st$ftle W, but he partly
turned his heaft, -not enough,
however,to permit Mrs. Gaines,,|o
see his face, and, in surprised
tone, said: “That’s all right,
madam.” pr
M«k—Gaines \yas now fully
awake, but instead of calling her
husband*, whojeontinued to sleep
soundly,-'She' again asked the
thief what he meant. She says
thought he might have been
ah attache of the’hotel, who had
slipped in through a window, or
a guest Who had entered the
wrong room.
As she spoke the second time,
he retired slowly through the
door, raising his hat to her.

ADVICE TO THE SHIFTLESS {
Hard Sanse, If Persisted In, Will Over
come Hard Luck—Don’t Tell j,
Your Troubles.
A very keen politician going
abroad for an extended tour ad
vertised for a man to relieve him
of the smaller worries of travel
ing, says the London Post. He re- I
duced the applicants to one, and
was about to complete the nego
tiations when the fortunate per
son began to tell him of his ca
reer, his ambitions, opportunities
and misfortunes—a genuine hard
luck story. The politician listened i
for awhile,and then suddenly in
terposed: “I find that J do not j
want you,” and when pressed for
his reason, added: “I never hire |
bad-1 nek people, especially the
kind who talk about it.”
There aeems to be an injustice
In this, and there doubtless is.
At the same time this politician
was a-judge of men, or he would
not have been a successful politi
cian. Most persons who have
achieved success are obliged to lis
ten to bad-luck stories, despite
their efforts to avoid them. The
main rfeason the modern merchant
or manager protects himself with
a guard of doorkeepers and ante
rooms is to escape callers who
want to take up his time by nar
ratives of their misfortunes.
•Every large center of popula
tion has its army of bad-luck suf
ferers, and among them are men
of education, men who are almost,
but not quite, strong enough to
reach success. Their point of
view is out of compass, their bear
ings are wrong; their attitude is
that some one who has succeeded
must make amends for their own
shortcomings. These unfortun
ates are probably the most hope
less persons in the world—hope
less not so much in their own
ideas as in the possibilities of
their reformation. When a mau
places his own inadequacy on ill
luck he is not worth anything to
anybody—not even to himself.
Luck is the tide, nothing more.
The strong man rows with it if it
makes toward his port. He rows
against it it flows . the other
way. Fair or foul, flood or ebb, he
rows. And the world has very lit
tle time to waste on the man who
complains that the tide did not
turn at &Very bend to suit his
course.
NO TIPS FOR HIS WAITERS.
New York Restaurant Man Makes a
Discovery—Then Came a Change
In His System.
.
“My waiters get very few tips,”
said a downtown restaurant man,
“and I don’t have to print notices
to my customers that they are not
expected to tip the waiter. It is
really very simple and within the
power of a restaurant manager to
stop the custom if he wants to do
so,” says the New York Times.
“You see, when a customer tips
a waiter regularly he expects to
get extra service or to have his
check scaled down, and the res
taurant is beaten by the game. In
virAYi^a +mm'nlr nf trait.
viuvi '' v* --JT X O
ers took money out of my pocket.
“I said nothing, but kept my
eyes open for a few days, and I
saw that it was in handing the
check to the customer that the
waiters got their tips. When
they were doubtful of a man they
actually made him ask for his
check. That observation made it
simple.
“Without a word about tips 1
made a rule that when a cus
tomer was served the waiter
should immediately lay dawn by
his plate the check for the amount
ordered and rhangeit subsequent
ly if he ordered more. That left
no opportunity for the waiter to
dumbly suggest that his hand was
open, and it made it easy for the
customer to get away without giv
ing a coin to the man who had
! served him. > > _
“In a week tipping had practic
ally ceased in my restaurant and
j the checks began to increase to
the right size. All paid for what
they got and others Increased
their orders as soon as they were
relieved of paying tribute to the
waiter. It worked admirably and
helped my business. Restaurant
men are foolish not to stop the
, tipping imposition. They can dc
it if they want to.”

Your Pulse.

If your pulse beats, too fast, or too
Blow; two strong or too weak; or too
Irregular; ’tis a sign of a weak heart.

strong as to be felt without some pres
sure of the skin. f
You may not feel particularly sick,
but any day, If your heart is weak, you
are liable to some sudden seizure,
breast-pang, fainting, weak or smother
ing spell, a sign of real danger.
Do not wait for such a moment to
come, but treat your weakened heart
and circulation with a safe and efficient,
modern, scientific Specific remedy, such
as Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure has
proved itself -to be.
It is a wonderful heart and blood tonie

ous system and circulation.
“For years I was troubled with pains
around my heart, shortness of breath,
palpitation and fluttering of the heart,
occasioned by the slightest exertion,
such as fast walking, lifting, ascending
a flight of steps excitement or emotion.
I. have used only a few bottles of Dr.
Miles’ Heart Cure, am entirely free from
all of these symptoms, and believe my
self completely cured. —
