Hospitality Isn't dead! I have a
friend who recently went "back home"
for a visit. He hadn't lived there in
ten years but the 'busman wouldn't
take fare for carrying him to the ho-
tel and the hotel keeper Insisted on
charging him the town rate, or half
what the travelers pay. The town
livery man took him riding and the
keeper of the boats on the river told
Mm to help himself to minnows and
crawfish during his visit. They made
such an impression on hfm that he
basn't quite recovered from the shock,
fie has been living in Chicago for sev-
eral years, where they grab at his

Two Bucks with One Bullet.
Jay Bowers, of this city, has r
turned home from a month's hunting
trip in Humboldt county, with a rec-
ord of having shot two fine bucks with
one bullet. One was a forked horn
and the other a three-pointer. One of
the animals weighed 134 pound*
dressed.
That two deer had been killed with
one shot was not discovered until ene
of the animals was H^ins dressed,
when the bullet was found to have en-
tered its right side, while Bowers as-
serted he had shot the animal on the
left side. Ad investigation brought to
light the second deer lying dead close
to where the first had been found.
Evidently they had been standing
close together when Bowers shot-

A Match tor a 1 tp.
The waiter smothe.oi an embar-
rassed grin when the red-faced absent-
minded man handv«l him his tip. Aftei
the absent-minded man had gone th«
waiter looked after him and then at
his tip, still with a half grin on hia
face.
"The tip the man had handed to him
was a match—just a common every
day sulphur match of commerce.
"He meant well enough," said th«
waiter. "Ke was just think in' aboul
something else. The chances are thai
somebody in his oflice keeps botherlnf
him for matches and he's got so in the
habit of giving matches to people thai
he hands nut a match without th'nkin
any more about it than he would aboul
drawing his breath. He felt that h«
eught to band me something, and h«
just made it a match without thinking
"Why," continued the waiter, "you*#
be surprised at the absent-minded peo
pie that give us tips. The other fel
low, a solemn looking man, gave me s
dollar bill—just the amount his din
ner came to. He wauted to give me a
little piece for myself, and just at
he started out he reached back and
gave me a handful of cloves that he'4
pulled out of the little pocket when
he kept his small change. And h«
wasn't doing it to be kidding, either
He never knew he did it.
"But," says the waiter in a serioui
tone, "somehow the absent-minded
ness hardly ever makes 'em looses
up any more'n they would whes
they're right at themselves."—Cleve
