Reaches Pretty Far

bills laid end to end it would reach
around the globe and have eignt miles

Compilation Which Cost Manager
$30,000 to Go Under Hammer.
Among the numbers of a long cat-
alogue or rare and interesting books,
manuscripts and autograph letters to
be sold at auction is the well-known
compilation by Joseph N. Ireland and
J. S. G. Hagan of the records of the
New York stage from 1750 to 1860.
This work was inlaid to a large folio
size, extra illustrated and extended to
forty-nine volumes for the late Au-
gustin Daly by Augustus Toedteberg.
The work, whose extension and
extra illustrations cost Mr. Levy
$30,000, was the feature of the sale
of the late manager's belongings in
this city in 1900. It was bought by i
Mr. Everett Wendell for $6,000, and he |
now offers it for sale, with other im-
portant items from his valuable col-
lection. It was the greatest bargain
of the Daly sale.
The admiral work of the inlayer,
Augustus Toedteberg — the patience
and care with which the portraits,
views, programs, playbills and auto-
graph letters were gathered, sought
for in America and England, and
purchased regardless of cost, when I
the illustration required—was a rare
one and the skill of the binder in bind- ,
ing so well such a mass of material,
all form a record of skill, patience and
industry.
The work was extended far be-
yond the strict line of the drama and
includes old and rare views of New
York and of its early and famous
theaters, in addition to those of a
number of other cities, portraits of
the real personages, who happened
to be mentioned in any piece pre-
sented, as well as of the players.
There are 8,000 illustrations in the
work which, as a whole, is a remark-
able compendium of stage history.
That's What
"What would happen,'' asks an ea-
/eemed contemporary, "if every one
told the truth for twenty-four hours.
One of the tnings that would happen
would probably be the suspension for
twenty-four hours of some esteemed
contemporaries. — Louisville Courier
Journal.
"Little boy," said the teacher of the

A Walter's Walk
Some interesting particulars are
given as to the ground covered by a
waiter in dancing attendance upon
the guests tn a restaurant in Christi-
ania. The waiter had provided him-
self with a pedometer before starting
his work. According to his calcula-
tions he took rather under 1000,CO
steps, covering some thirty-seven
miles between 8 a. m. and 1L"T«,0 a. m.
Working (and walking) four days a
week, he calculated that he covercd
more than 7,000 miles in a year,
which would seem to show that the
Swedish waiters take their work very
seriously; unless, indeed, the pedo
meter was "fast."—Westminster Ga-
zette.

cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem-

a 12-oz. package it is because he has

A Last FareweU.
Colgate Hoyt of the Automobile
Club of America was talking in New
York about the salaries of chauffeurs.
"It is true," he said, "that good
chauffeurs often earn $2,500 and
$3,000 a year, while excellent ones
sometimes command really exorbitant
salaries—$5,000, $6,000 and even more.
"To have a chauffeur of this type
gives you, on pay day, the sort of
feeling that a French tourist had after
a short stay at one of our regal New
York hotels.
"There are expensive hotels in
France, but they cannot compare with
ours, and this Frenchman, when his
weekly bill was handed to him, was
amazed and angered at its size.
"However, he paid it. Then he sent
for the manager. The manager, beam-
ing and smiling, hastened to him.
" 'Monsieur.' he said, 'what can I do
to serve you?'
" 'My dear fellow,' said the French-
man 'let me press both your hands
with' affection. Let me embrace you
tenderly on either check.'
" 'Why?' said the puzzled landlord.
" 'Ah, sir,' said the Frenchman, 'look
at this bill-' . . «
"•Your bill? Yes,' said the land-
lord. 'But what of it?'
•< 'What of it? Why,' said the guest,
•don't you see it means that I shall
never, never see you again?"'—San
Antonio Express.
It Served them Right
"Courtesy always pays," said Mme.
Rejane, the French actress, to an in-
terviewer. "if we are courteous to
the people they like us, and try to
help us. If we are discourteous to
' them they hate us and oppose us.
1 "Two women occupied a compart-
1 ment in a railway carriage with one
1 man, a stranger. They were extreme-
ly rude to this man. In whispers he
could overnear they criticised his
costume, his figure and his manner.
He, to be revenged, did a singular
tbl°Tbe blackness of a tunnel envel-
oped the car, and under cover of the
darkness, the man kissed the back of
his hand loudly and repeatedly. Then,
when the tialn entered the light
again he looked from one woman to
the other with a significant smile.
"They exchanged glances of suspic-
ion. ,
•• 'Was it you he kissed.
" 'No, of course not. Was it you?
"And neither woman would believe
the other's denial, and each, in her
inmost heart, was offended to think
that the man had chosen her compan-
ion instead of herself to kiss. The
man looke 1 cool and complae-nt.
When, finally, he rose to go, he said,
lifting his bat with a Jocular air:
" 'Have no fear, ladles, I never
tell which one of you it was.

Woman an Apple Grower.
Considering the affiliation that has
existed between women and apples
from the first, it is not as surprising
as her friends seem to think that Mrs.
Thomas Shaw Safe should have se-
lected . apple growing as a pastime,
says the New York Press. The Safes'
new couptry place upstate affords flue (
opportunity for arbor culture, and be- (
sides her apples she is planning to
grow other fruits. As Mr. Safe is in-
terested in squab and cattle raising,
there is likely to be much good-
natured rivalry between them. What
products they are unable to consume
or bestow upon their friends they will
send to market. It seems to be "the
correct thing" to sell since England
aristocrats have gone into it. But
many of these persons needed the
money; the Safes, are in no iuch
oli&ht >3 that.
From the home of the famous "Keyh
nel Kecyartah of Cartersville." away
down South, comes an enthusiastic let,
ter about Postum: ,
"I was In very delicate health, suf-
fering from indigestion and a nervous
trouble so severe that I could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis-
continue the use of the old kind of
coffee, which was like poison to me,
producing such extreme disturbance
that I could not control myself. But
such was my love for It that I could
not get my own consent to give it up
for some time, and continued to suffer,
till my father one day brought home a
package of Postum Food Coffee.
"I had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave it a fair trial. It proved to have
a rich flavor and made a healthy,
wholesome and delightful drink. To
my taste the addition of cream great-
ly improves it.
"My health began to improve as
soon as the drug effect of the old cof-
fee was removed and the Postum Cof-
fee had time to make Its influence felt.
My nervous troubles were speedily re-
lieved and the sleep which the old cof-
fee drove from my pillow always came
to soothe and strengthen me after I
had drunk Postum-in a very short
time I began to sleep better than 1
I had for years before. I have now used
I Postum Coffee for several years and
1 like it better and find it more benefi-
cial than when I first began. It is an
unspeakable Joy to be relieved of the
old distress and eickncss." Name
given by Postum Company, Battle
Creek, Mich.
