HONOR COMES WITH SERVICE STRIPES l'nllnmn Ituna Across the Continent Are Considered the Moat Pro ductive Mnny I'naicngen Arc Lllicrnl. Tho crowning point In the ambition of tho ordinary colored man is to bo found In tho uniform ot tho porter of the Pull man sleeping car. Ono of these suits with four or ilvu stiver stripes on tho left sleeve is ubout tbo climax. Ono thus adorned Is cnvleU by his fellows; ho Is admired and courted by tho maidens of tho dusky race. Such u man must always bo neat and clean In his dress and ho mingles with tho best of tho traveling public. His regu lation dress 1h ot a hondsomo color'' and tho mc'tnl buttons set It off In a showy manner. Boyond theso outward features the position Is nttractlvo on account ot tho emolument) which como with It. Tho salary of tho porter Is tho smallest part of his pay, as a rule. Soma ot the best and oldest porters In tho servlco re ceive scarcely moro than $10 a month for long continued hours. Tho minimum sal ary Is $20. Tho greater part of tho In coroo ot ono ot theso men, however, Is derived from tho general public and tho earnings ot tho porters on tho best runs, tho transcontinental trains, often reach $100 or $150 per month. Mll.t lln Diiiio Jim Illttht. Feeing or tipping a porter Is a dellcato proposition and Is becoming qulto an art. To know Just when tho tip will count for tho most and when It will bo most appre ciated U tho problem. Thoro nro men In tho service from whom a small feo given lii tho right way will bring moro favors than a much larger olTeriug given another man. What In more, tho Intluenco ot tbo right action Is long continued, for the roclplent will remomber tho glvor for many a long day thereafter. A good story Is told of ono ot tho por ters on tho Union Pacific Overland, show ing tho extent to which tho custom has gone an tho part ot tho public and the good effects that nro to bo derived. A prominent Omaha man had a flno dog which ho was sending to San FranclEeo as bag gage Colling at the buffet car, for tho ilog was In tho baggago and ot tbo car, he asked tbo porter It ho would kindly give tho dog some wator thrco times a day and a little ot tho dog bread during tho trip across tho cputlnent Now this particular porter has charge ot the lunch and tho cigars which ore Borved in tho buffet cur. Sometimes ho la kept rather busy attending U the wants of tho customers who wander in. "No, sir, I haven't tlmo to water dogs," was tho curt reply he gavo tho Inquirer. In tho samo car Is a barber's chair and the ownor of tho valuablo cnnlno turned to tho white-faced tonsorlal artist with the same request concerning his four footed pot. "Yes," he unswered, "I guess I can find tlmo to do that for you." "Well, It you will do it I will glvo The Leading Dress Goods House of the West The largest,, the most complete and best selected stock of Dress Goods ever seen in Omaha.

"And when you deliver tho dog to the man, who Will cull for It in San Francisco, ho will glvo you flvo more." Tho colored porter Is said to have turned almost whlto as ho saw this fat tip Blip post his hand. "Great Scott! Ten dollars for watering a cur twice a day, and I missed It." Kraft U a Itlch One. A man who has to deal with Pullman porters said the other day that It is no unusual thing for somo of tho richer class of passengers to spend from $5 to $10 on a porter while Journeying across tho coun try. "Frequently," ho said, "a man will put his wife and perhaps a child or two on the car In Chicago and then, hunting up the porter, press a $5 or $10 bill Into his hand and ask him to look after his family. I tell you, that family Is well cared for after that." Tho service stripes worn by tbo men are matters of no small honor. Tho com pany has arranged for tho placing of a silver band around the eleevo of n porter who has been in tho service flvo years. Another strlpo is added tor ovcry half decado In tho empldy.

There Is the usual number of odd names In tho now directory. A man named John NJ1, for example, Is not likely to got his mall mixed to any great ox tent. It may be said, too, that his name Is never taken In vain, though soveral havo tried to pronounco It in vain. Tho same Is truo of Stophen Ilyltzo, Dora Opdcnwlnkle and Jacob Ezechanowskl. Tho name of Stovo Wawrzenklewlcz, however, has be come a household word In South Omaha recently, as he has Just been elected to tho city coubcII.

QUAINT FIIATUIU-.S OP 1,1 FG. A printer working In Emporia, Kan., went houso hunting and found difficulty in so curing a desirable placo because he had three young children. Then ho advertlfjd for a house, adding by way of a 1"!.e ihat ho was prepared if necessary to kill two of tho young ones.

Half a dozen leading artists In New York have planned a twelve-story studio bulldlug, which is Intended to bo tho center of Bo hemian art circles. Thero aro to bo a dozen studios with living apartments and two dozen with bucholor quarters attached, Tho project grows out of tho difficulty In securing kitchen accommodations In connec tion with studios. Phil May, the London artist, tells how at tho ago of 12 ho became timekeeper In a largo Iron foundry. Says he; "I was de lighted with the onice, but tho foundry masters were not quite so satisfied. At first they wero surprised at the greut punctual ity of the cntlro staff of workmen; later they simply marvelled at Its continuance, and Anally they discovered that I kept tho time book on a system of my own." When Mrs. Nation was let out ot tbo Topeka club by one of Its membors sho turned to him and said: ' You were so nice to mo tho other day, Instead of which I now And you playing seven-up," This Is closely akin to tho raro logic of tho moj Istrato who was called to pass sentence upon a youthful offender. ''Young man," said the Judgo, "I knew your parents and they are worthy people. You havo been brought up In a Christian homo, and havo had tho sort of training that ought to have mado you a good boy; Instead of which you prowl around the country stealing ducks."
