’ SAVAGES IN HOTELS.
—
' Plaint of a Hoat Who Sees How Hli
Patrons Disregard Decency
and Destroy Property.
In &11 the big hotels of New York there
ire rooms that the guests never see oi
hear of. Some of them are in the base
ment and some are on the roof, accord
ing to the convenience of the manage
ment. They belong to the carpenters,
engineers, electricians and other work
men who are kept busy every day all
the year round, says the Times. In
every hotel of pretensions a large force
is required to mend furniture, do odds
and ends of painting, put on door locks,
repair broken water pipes, and do any
number of other things that are indis
pensable if the house is to appear in
good order all the time.
“It is my experience,” says the man
ager of a hotel in Broadway, "that men
and women who will put up with no
end of inconvenience and disorder at
home or in a cheap boarding house kick
mightily If they do not find everything
spick and span at a hotel. A man who
will sit night after night in a frayed
chair in his parlor at Four Corners will
make an awful fuss if he finds a neglect
ed piece of Iprolture in & hotel parlor
or bedroom. A women who has to light
the parlor stove every day when she is
at home and spend halfjhertime in keep
ing the house warm, will say she is cold
even if the steam is on at full pressure
in her room at a hotel, and she will
keep a man busy two or three hours r
day running around to see if there Is
not something the matter with the
pipes.
“It seems to be a weakness with som
folks to Take It out' of the furniture in
hotels in order to get their money’s
worth. A man who will not dare to
throw a burnt match on the carpet it
big own house, and who would as boo:
tflrak of flying as of lying on the be*
with his boots on, will do these things
and worse In a hotel bedroom. It takes
two or three hours to put the room In
order after he has gone. Often we have
to send at least one piece of furniture to
the repair shop. If one of the small
furniture dealers scattered around the
city could get as much furniture te
mend as Is sent to hotel repair shops
every day he would begin to talk about
prosperity.
“Perhaps I am putting It strongly, but
In all seriousness, carelessness and will
ful neglect of guests In great hotels—
men and women from whom such s
thing would not be expected—puts u»
to great expense. Would a man spit to
bacco on a carpet or burn curtains an<’
bed covers with cigarettes If they were
his own property? These things ar«
done every day In a hotel. Some men
will not scratch a match anywhere else
If they can scratch It on the wall pa
per.
“Again, a lot of room we should Ilk*
for other purposes Is occupied with up
claimed trunks and other baggage be
longing to persons who have forgotten
to pay their hotel bills. Most hotels
keep rooms especially for this, and thej
have anywhere from 100 to 150 trunk!
on hand all the time. They are obligee
by law to hold them three months be
fore sending them to the auction room
Many proprietors keep them a year.”
PICTURES FROM LIFE.
Writers of the Present Day Deal More
with Fact and Less with
Fancy.
The number of capable writers whe
are telling the various truths of lift
in the form of fiction Is much greater
than contemporary pessimists realize,
states the Detroit Free Press. There Is,
indeed, no corner of human experience
which cannot produce lta able, enter
taining representative. Let us take
some traditional forms of the novel—
the sea story, say. Qa.pt Marryat was
Indeed a master, and yet W. Clarke Rus
sell and Conrad and Jacobs! In tht
work of all of these men one has to ac
knowledge that romantic fidelity to the
facts rather than the fancies of the sea
which I have spoken of as the note of
the modern romantic realism. In the
case of Conrad we have also a writer ot
the first literary Importance—a novelist
of action and serious vivid detail, who
does not ecom to write good English,
but who more than that. Pole as he is—
and there Is an additional marvel
writes English of a quality so English
that incredible as it may sound, his
woras are no less exciting tnan nis ad
ventures. It may almost be said that the
fact of his being a “foreigner” using our
English tongue has possessed him with
a regard for classical English which
fostered in him the journalistic impres
sion of such a vociferous English writei
as, say, Mr. Kipling—Mr. Kipling, who is
patriotic in everything but his language
Burglar Brea.
To the person who knows nothing
about bees they represent the supreme
type of industry. But even the bee com
munities are disturbed by those of their
own kind who break through and steal.
Robber bees are always a source of
anxiety to beekeepers, and at this time
of the year the marauders seem partic
ularly active. Having gathered no
honey, or at any rate an insufficient sup
ply for themselves, they will descend
upon a hive, kill its industrious occu
pants and carry off the golden treasure
in an astonishingly short space of time.
We know of a recent instance in which
the attack was developed and the home
bees killed in a couple of hours. Some
times hive will attack neighboring hive
In such cases the old straw “skip” va9
better than the modern arrangement,
for a knife thrust through the top would
break the comb and set the honey free,
at which the thieves would instantly
return to seal up their own store. It it
not primal lly in their industry that bee«
are human.—London Chronicle.

least, the novice has no chance.—Chi

ADVICE TO THE SHIFTLESS
I -
Hard Sense, If Persisted In, Will Over
come Hard Luck—Don’t Tell
> 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
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—agenuinehard
luck story. The politician listened
for awhile,and then suddenly in
terposed: “I find that I do not
want you,” and when pressed for
his reason, added: “I never hire
bad-luck people, especially the
kind who talk about it.”
There seems to be an injustice
In this, and there doubtless is.
At the same time this politician
1 was a judge of men, or he would
| not have been a successful politi
■ cian. Most persons who have
I achieved success are obliged to lis
ten to bad-luck stories, despite
their efforts to avoid them. The
main reason the modern merchant
; or manager protects himself with
i a guard of doorkeepers and ante
rooms is to escape callers who
want to take up his time by nar
i ratives of their misfortunes,
j Every large center of popula
tion has its army of bad-luck suf
! rerers, ana among mem 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 man
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 if 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 every bend to suit his
course.
NO TIPS FOR HIS WAITERS.
New Tork 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
other wdrds, the tipping of wait
ers took money out of ray pocket.
“I said nothing, but kept jnv
eyes open for a few days, and I
saw that it was in handing the,
rlippk tn flip customer thot 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 down by
his plate the check for the amount
ordered and change it 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- j
ing a coin to the man who had
served him.
“In a week tipping had practic
ally ceased in my restaurant and
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.”
Average Man.
The average man either boast*
about his good health or howl*
about his aches and pains.
Pimples?
Pimples, boils, scrofula, sores and
other disfiguring skin eruptions arise
from impure blood and why take
evil tasting doses of drug saturated
alcohol, when you can get small,
pleasant and tasteless Johnston’s
Tonic Capsules. They make pure
blood and cure skin troubles.
Johnston'* Tonic Capsule* *ra tha very beat
vegetable blood medicines condensed into a small,
easily taken, tasteless capsule, without alcohol. |
You can carry them in a tiny box in the pocket I
and take them anywhere without attracting ;
notice. In them you get the condensed curatives |
of true medicinal plants, roots, barks, blossoms,
leaves and fruit —the health-giving qualitiea
nature has stored in the products of held, swamp 1
and wildwood.
Johnston’* Tonic Capsule* are the surest, ]
safest, most reliable, convenient and satisfactory 1
medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich !
the blood. They unload it of every impurity and
at the same time so promote the nutritive func
tions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and
life-sustaining qualities. They make tha blood
pure and rich, and through pura blood the bodily
structure* come right, because they depend on
the blood for nourishment and renewal.
For over 40 years Johnston's Tonio Capsules
have been held in high esteem a* a most reliable
and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheuma*
tism, eczema, old aores, painful swellings, kernels
and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy, holla, liver :
complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation,
kidney troublaa and a long list of common nil*
and ills.
We have great confidence In this medicine; n
confidence born of many years’ experience with
It, and we make the following extraordinary
offer: Send ns a dollar for a large box of John
ston's Tonic Capsules, or buy the tame of dealer
whose name appears below, use half of them, and
if you are not satisfied, mail the balance to ua and
we will return your money. Test them at our risk
and be your own judge. Michigan Drug Co.

THE AMUSEMENT WONDER
- OF -
THE WORLD’S FAIR PIKE.
ff
Dnnnavant & Williams’ Marvelous In*
ventiou, the Mlssiqg Link connecting
Imagination and Realism—The One
Unique Feature in a Mile of Shows—
Remarkable Journey awaits World’s
Fair Visitors.
In the history of World’s Expositions,
terhaps In no division does the publlo de
uand greater progress than In Its amusement
oatures, and that this has been the para
uount and successful endeavor of Dnnnavant
i Williams, Inventors and bulldera of Under
in<l Over the Sea, one needs bnt takb-ftsy
lage and be convinced.
In this great production on t*.e Pike,
iclentists. Inventors, artists, ueohanics
rad electricians have vied with each other
oward a common goal, "originality.’’
Neither time nor money haa been spared,
rad the public demands have been met and
ixceeded, in the full realization of a sub
marine voyage to Paris, and return by air
ihlp. Can you imagine the sensations of '
uchatrlp? No; then embark with met The ^
latchway through which we have entered
his monster Iron fish is hermetically sealed;
mr 498 follow passengers (the capacity of our
mot is 500) comfortably seated; the captain,
ly a secret code of signals, Issues his com
mands; the well-trained crew make ready -
or our novel Journey; the huge hull of the
iubmarine monster quivers gently, and then
gradually but suroly we feel our strange craft
linking, sinking down to the lowest beds
>f the ocean. From the powerful electrlo
learch lamps, suddenly, light breaks at each
ide of the cabin, through the two oblong
irystal plates, separating us from the sea.
?he obscurity of the cabin shows to advan
age the brightness outside, and what a
ipectacle Is revealed to our bewildered
rislon—flowers, fungi, polypi, plants, shplts
rad rock, a veritable kaleidoscope of green,
rellow, orange, violet and blue. With ex
ilted exclamations of wonder and admiration
re gaze through the crystal plates, at the
iquatlo army surrounding us. The boat’s
nanometer indicates our depth now—1,000
athoms below the surfaoe—and our captain,
i careful, brave and experienced iubmarine
iklpper* skillfully manipulating the electrlo
iwitohboard at which he stands-^always and
>ver alert to the dangers of the deep—stops
>ur downward course and points his vessel
itralght ahead; the pressure of an electrlo
ratton is simultaneous with a convulsive throb
is the mighty engine responds, the giant pro
filer churns the sea Into a foaming fury and
vtth a leap and bound, as of a frightened Jf
hing of life, we plunge forward through the m
iransparent watery mass to explore the on- M1
mown depths. jjjm
The denizens of the sea startled into an as
ictlvltythey have seldom known, so engross Jr*
>ur attention, the approach of a mammoth m
larwhale or unicorn of the sea is quite unnoticed
in til almost upon us. The at first startled pas
icngers are quickly reassured by the captain,
rhere Is no danger; our armament has been
veil looked to in the emergency of attack,
rat as the monster fish playfully circles
irouud us, strangely familiar and pleasant
louaua lan upuu uur cars} prcsouuj
live jaws of our friendly inclined escort open
ind reveal a semi-earthly being, contentedly
leated on its monster green tongue, and in a
Ine basso voice is singing the lay of the deep
due sea; the torpedo-like velocity of our
sraft, however, soon leaves the serenader,
'ar in our wake, the echoes of this presum
ibly Jonah’s voice, have hardly died away,
vhen far^ ahead and immediately in our
jourse Is seen the mermaid’s play-ground,
various kinds of Isis, clusters of pure tuft
;oral, and prickly fungi form a beautiful gar
len on the ocean’s bed; a shoal of mermaids
ippear to our now thoroughly delighted
visions, the delicately tinted gold and silver
be-scaled bodies gracefully bounding over,
inder and around the boat, as if imbued with
sarthly vanity, they would rival each other’s
brightness.
With never-end ing and tireless energy, out
?reat speed undiminished, we rush madly on;
>ur goal is soon at hand; the pumps are set
n motion—the water drawn from the tanks.
3ur now buoyant vessel speedily finds the
surface, and the thrilling subterranean pas
sage has ended. Disembarking, we are
juided to the base of Eiffel Tower; Immense
elevators take us to its summit, where a mas
sive airship restlessly tugging at its moor
ing awaits to carry ns back over land and
sea. All aboard) Cast anchor; and the bird
ike wings moving up and down, the Sight
through space has commenced. Paris soon
[ades from view as with the speed of light we
rush along the pathless wastes; meteors,
;omets, beasts of the air, and lightning
storms are encountered, but undismayed is
the captain of this weird craft, and emerging
from a bank of clouds, onr astonished and
bewildered senses are now completely dazed
at the vision that greets our eyes—the Wo rid’s
Fair is spread out immediately below us;
gently the airship descends and discharges
her precious cargo of mystified and delighted
passengers at the Pike landing dock, we have
enjoyed a marvelous experience and com
pleted our trip, under and over the sea.
