Those who

way visited the Standard Milk Sugar
Factory on the Wilson river. This
was a revelation to those who had
not visited this institution.
Mr,

editors the process which the whey
went through before it was tinned

KICKED ON THE TIPS.
The Waiter Thought the Rule Should
Not Work Both Way*.
“My bill at the eabaret restaurant ou
Hroudway was >25, and when I gave
tbe waiter a tip of a dollar he frown
ed.”
Tbe speaker was a banker from Du
luth He continued warmly:
“-What are you frowning about?- I
asked tlm waiter ‘Isn’t that a gener
ous tip for a few minutes work oa
your part?’
“ ’In New York,’ the man answered,
the rule Is always to give a tip of 10
per cent. Your bill. sir. called for u
>2.5« tip. So. naturnlly, I feel a little
aggrieved. L!ut it is easy to see. sir,
that you nre not s New Yorker, and so
It can’t be expected that you'd know
tile rules.’
“Well, I pocketed the waiter's insult,
and tbe next time I was In that nelgli-
borhood I dropped In on him again.
I'lils time I wus alone, and, not being
hungry. I only ate a $1.15 meal. When
It was over I handed the waiter a tip
>f II cents. You ought to have seen
his face. It wus worse than before.
“ ’It's all right.' 1 assured him. ’It’s
according to the 10 per cent rule that
you taught me. If n man's bill Is ex
orbitant that makes no difference, ac
cording to the rule. Well, then, when
a man's bill Is small. It should make
no difference, either.'
"The waiter glowered at me. He
shook tbe 11 cents In bls pulm sar
castically. I said, as I rose to go:
"'And, by Jove. It wou't make any
dlIT. ri-nce either. If you waiters Insist
on
ur 10 tier cent for Inrge amounts
then you've got to take It for small
amounts, too. At least, by Jingo, you've
got to take It from me. I'm from Du
luth. but 1 know my way nbout.”
The Duluth linnker sighed heavily.
“But the fact remains,” be said, “that
ever since that waiter called me down
I give 10 per cent on big amounts like
a fool and like a fool I give 20 to 30
per cent on small amounts.”—Minne
apolis Journal.
FOUND A HIDING PLACE.
Then They Got a Big Surprise When
Daylight Appeared.
The father of Joseph Altsheler, the
writer of war stories, was a Prussian
who came to this country a few years
before the war between the states
broke out and settled In Barren county,
Kentucky. By reason of his foreign
birth the elder Altsheler was not sub
ject to draft by either army when hos
tilities began, but bis southern sym
pathies made him obnoxious to a group
of bushwhackers who, posing as Fed-
erals, Infested the vicinity of the Ken
tucky-Tennessee state line.
One starless, moonless night In the
summer of 1863 a neighbor camo with
the word that the btishwackers were
on their way to kill Mr. Altsheler and
another resident of the vicinity who
bud been outspoken In bis approval of
secession. It was not certain, the mes
senger said, which road of tw-o the
marauders would take to reach the
homes of their proposed victims; but it
was certain that they would be along
soon.
Mr. Altsheler and the other threat
ened num gathered up a blanket apiece
■mil went Into tho woods to bide. In
the darkness they speedily lost all
sense of direction. For an hour they .
wandered about, seeking a suitable
camping place. Flunlly they came to
a spot that was free of trees and
where the ground felt smooth under
foot. So they spread their blankets
and went to sleep, secure In the be
lief that no bushwhacker could find
them there.
The rising sun, shining In their faces,
waked them. They sat up and looked
around. They had been asleep all
night at the only place where the
raiders could not have failed to find
them had their plans been carried out—
st the forks of the county road.—Satur

The Harvest Supper.
The Harvest Supper and enter

of those who took part were
encored. Several numbers were
given bj those whom Tillamook

them Miss DePar. violist, Miss
