Making; a Show of Wealth.
The tips received vary from 10 to 26 cents
per person, but these are ofteni increased
by liberal spenders' and on special occa
sion.. Women pay the smallest tip. and
the privilege owner dependa. on the men,
who are striving to make a show of wealth,
for his principal revenue. The "good old
summer time" would be bad for him but
for the faot that he has got an Iron In the
fire at some big summer resort. For about
seven months, however, things are all his
awn way.
The bootblack privileges are divided in
different hotels. In some the shoe stands
are owned by Italians, who are gradually
vetting a monopoly of them. In other ho

that the oorter must go, that la, retire

Which Is quite enough for him aa a money

serted, to sell the shoe stand to an Italian,

Green Hands In Favor
The bellboy privileges Is also drifting into
the hande of one man. although thla ays-
tem ia not yet general. Where a man buya
the bell hop privilege from a hotel he must
take In green boys and train them for their
duties ln order to cet the tip they re
calve. No experienced boy who haa been
acouatomed to receive tlpa would consent
to work for mere wage.. Some day, it ia
believed, all the latter olass will be run
out of hotels and the new regime will take
possession, so that when one fees the boy

while not taking all the gratuities received

Crop Conditions

Average and Corn Full
Average.
PIERRE. 8. D.. July 2J (Special. Su
perintendent Moulton of the Chicago A
Northwestern road haa Just made a trip
over all the lines of that road ln thla state
and hla opinion is that the state will har
vest about 75 per cent of an average wheat
crop and barring hall or early froats, will
harvest fully an average corn crop. In
fact, in his estimation, a better one than
for last year. While there are a few spots
east of the river where the drouth has
been severe and the crop very short, they
are small In extent, as compared with the
whole state, and In many other locatlona
the crop la ahead of what It was last year,
which will go a long way toward keeping
up the average. The eastern and southern
part of the state is reported to be good. An
area between Iroquois and Desmet has been
hard hit. North of Redfleld, toward the
state line, the crop will be short except ln
a circle about Columbia, where It Is above
the average. While the straw Is short In
that part of the state the grain heads are
well filled and the grain of good quality.
The wheat yield for last year wa 40.000.000
bushel, and 7$ per cent yield will put it at
30,000.000 bushels.

the state the oat harvest I. on, some good

ENFORCING THE ASHPAN LAW

That the federal government proposes to

ing, on lta line In South Dakota, violated
