Waitress Tells of Experience in
Serving Ghost
Old Gantloman May Have Been a Lit
tio "Off," but Htf Notion I* That
Ha Had Recently Lo?t a
Loved Qrandchlld.
Jony, who han worked In one pintle*
ular section of flirt lunch counter of
one of the great New York hotels since
the dny It waft opened, Is the bent
waitress (lint ever set down a dish
without a spill or u clatter?ho May
the discriminating, lief deftness, Iter
quiet manners, her promptness?above
all her unfalllnK politeness?stomp her
iis one apart from the sisterhood. She
was serene and composed while she
dealt with one of those peckish, snap
py men who had dropped In under the
Impression that because one sits on a
stool In this excellent place It Is cheap.
It Un't. He was a little ashamed to
fuss about the prices, so he fussed
about everything else. Rut at last he
departed, and serene Jane permitted
herself a weary smile.
^You have to get along with .all
kinds, don't you?" remarked a patron.
"Indeed, yes," said Jane. "I served
a ghost yesterday morning."
"An old' gentleman came in quite
early, for breakfast. He was beauti
fully dressed; I.think he was one of
the hotel guests; at least he came In
that entrance. He chose a stool and
when somebody fried to sit beside him,
he said, 'Pardon me, but can't you see
that seat la taken?' He ordered toast,
soft boiled eggs and coffee. Then he
turned to^the vacant stool and asked,
'What would you like, my .dear?'
"He paused as If for an answer. Ap
parently he heard one, for he said to;
me with a smile, as If amused at the
notion, 'A piece of pie and a cup of
weak coffee with milk and some rolls.'
"There wasn't any pie at that hour
and so he ordered sliced peaches. I
brought all the tilings and arranged
them as If for two. By that time peo
ple were moving away from him. lie
buttered the rolls at the vacant place
befora-J^e ate a bite himself. Then
h& made his own breakfast. I thought
there might be a scene about the two
checks, but no. He added them up
nloud and correctly; counted out the
change in his hand; left a tip-In front
of each plate and then asked for a
noper sack. In it he put an unbroken
'roll. Then he paid, the cashier and
went out. They found ihe paper bag
With the roll In It outside on the
steps."
"Could you make out whether he
thought he was talking to a man or
a woman?" asked the patron.
"I thought It was a little child," said
Jane softly. "He alwfiys looked down
when he spoke to It, and he buttered
the rolls, and the pie order for break
fast was childish, too?I thought," and
Jane's eyes seemed a little misty. "1
thought maybe he had lost a favorite
grandchild."
Bananas Make Berlin Glad.
As I was passing down the Fred
eflehstrasse, says a correspondent of
the London Times writing from Ber
lin. my ^e was caught by a crowd of
people which suddenly collected In
front of n delicatessen shop.
It was only with difficulty that one
could get near enough to see what
It was that attracted so much atten
tion. I peard exclamations of wonder
and admiration, and on looking a lit
tle more closely saw?a bunch of
bananas which the shopkeeper had
Just hung up in the window and which
was a novelty to the Rerliners, who
for nearly five years have seen not a
trace of fruit, once so plentiful in the
capital.
The smiling faces and little Jokes
made it quite evident that the banana
was recognized as a symbol of peace,
and that the delight felt at lis pres
ence was due to the evidence it af
forded that the blockade is a thing
of the past.
Took Ride on Torpedo.
Probably the only man who ever
rode a naval torpedo under way is
Kelson II. IStounT, a Yale graduate,
now at the Newport torpedo station.
Some time ago, when Mr. Blount was
experimenting at New London, lie
wanted to go with the torpedo, so he
rigged :i saddle nml two small pon
toon> on the sides, and taking Ids
seat, hud the ndfcs?ile tired from the
surface and started on his daring ride,
when the torpedo spoilt itf tin* in

"PERFECT" MAN GETS BOAST
London Wrltar Rcfu'M to Envy Weav
?n Who Ara "piaa??d" With
Such a Life Companion.
Kvery one envied a certain lady be
cause It was apparent,' that *h?> had
such u perfect hufthaud.
, True enough, the gei)tlttimun uelther
drunk. swore, looked Ht other woman*
grumbled, nor did he upend any time
away from hl? wife fteept when at .
business.
Yet the woman who "possessed" thla
model of perfection found him a moat
Irritating companion with whom she
was forced, to spend her life, says Lon
don Answers. For Instance, If she got
worn out trying to pacify baby, who
vwa? cross, and eventually lost her torn
por with the child, her husband would
come In, tako the little one In bis arm
and amiably try?and often succeed,
as a fresh person sometimes does?to
work the oracle with calmness.
That would be ull very well If he
dldh't put on the "See how much bet
ter my motfiod la" air, which la moat
tantalizing, ?- '? ' < J
Perfect men are so anxious to ob
trude their perfection upon their wom
enfolk that they often defeat thelrown
ends. They spend money on seats for
the opera or buying little presents with
no knowledge of whether such will be
the most acceptable or desirable gifts.
It la because these men are ao good
In Intentions that their wives haven't
the heart to say, "I'd rather have had
5 shillings for a new box Iron. It would
save me such a lot of trouble."
The husband who has a few glaring
faults Is pretty sure to look over his
wife's fallings and humor her whlma.
The perfect man has a horrible knack
of Reaching at his womenfolk.
The woman with a faultless husband
often feels like doing aomethlug to
make him swear at her. Perfection la.
apt to become dull and monotonous.
Don't envy the woman with a per
fect husband, you wives who wish
your own men wouldn't drop cigarette
ash on tho carpet or storm a bit when
things go wrong; for these careless,
"temperlsh" men have a lot of good
qualities to balance their faults.
The man who never raises his voice
to complain rarely softens It to wife
with loving words of praise.

Shells Still Flying.
,? Residents of the devastated districts
of France are still fleeing from hursta
of shell and shrapnel. . \
The new menace Is caused by the
small grass and swamp fires, which
frequently set off the shells that have
been piled up to be hauled away and
exploded in some snfe place.
MaJ. H. C. Greene of Boston had a
thrilling ride and narrowly escaped a
hall of shrapnel on his way from St.
Quentln to Laon as a result of one of
these fires. A French woman work
ing In a field near Rouconvllle was
gassed and considerable damage has
been done. *
In the vast, desolate fields, thou
sands of unexploded shells have been
picked up by German prisoners, and
though there are details hauling them
away and exploding them In remote
valleys every day, there are still long
ranks of them everywhere. Sparks
from locomotives and from small fires
where battlefield rubbish la being
burned occasionally set fire to patches
of dry weeds, and the accidental
bursts are numerous.
Brazilian Church 100 Yeara Old.
Christ church of ftlo de Janeiro,
which soon will celebrate Its cente
nary, Is said to have been the first
Protestant church to be built In South
America.
It was erected to provide a place of
worship for the English community.
Two restrictions were placed on the
church, the exterior was to resemble
a dwelling house and not a temple,
and no bells were allowed. Out of
this concession grew the religious
liberty which now exists in Brazil.
Today there are two Anglican dlo
cese? and 40 churches in South Amer
ica.

Get Your ,,Tractor NomL
A TRACTOR* operating successfully
on low-priced, low-grade fuels ?
kerosene, distillate, etc., is a paying investment
from the very outset. This has been proved by
the records of many thousands of Titan 10-2(
tractors specially designed and built to operate 01
kerosene, or any other crude oil distillate testing v
39 degrees Baume or higher.
Titan Tractors are All Alike
??
They are easier to handle than a farm team and:
easier to care for. You can do your work on timq,
plow deeper, prepare better seed beds, do more
work with less help, and get more^pront from your
farm. They do belt work that cannot be done by
horses and pull more in proportion to weight than , . ,
horses. Horses must have rest wheth^f the work
is crowding you or not. If necessary, you can .c
keep your Titan working continuously^ without -^
rest, until the work is done. 1
Mere you have economy, efficiency, depend
ability ? three prime essentials of farm power-?
carrying an assurance of bigger crops, better yields,
and fatter profit. Order a Titan early, so that you
will have it when you need reserve power.
