St. Louls, Mo,, Jan—A story of | Fritzl Scheff ina gay mood behind | the scene in private life has come to light through the suicide of Alfred R. | Woodford, one time favorite waiter jof the spenders in the high priced cafes {n St, Louis, who killed himself New Year's eve by hanging at | Hot Springs, Ark. Woodford had ‘red hair’ and freck- les that made him conspicuous any- | where. He wore perpetual smile. | Fritz! Scheff was hostess afa din- | ner party at a downtown cafe while | she was playing in St. Louls on one joccasion. Woodford served the din- ner. “Count the freckles on your face” exclaimed the actress and I’ll give you a quarter for every one.” Solemnly the waiter began count- ing. The process was prolonged. The actress-hostess and her guests laughed uproartously and then grew bored. “Oh, forget about {t,” cried Miss Scheff. “Here, take this.” And she tossed him a $50 bill. That was the biggest single tip he ever received, say other waiters who knew him best, but he recelved in tips during his 15 years work more than $25,000 which he spent as magnifi- cently inthe saloons he liked as any millionaire ever spent money in the Farmers Bank Building, Butler, Missourt. | FARM LOANS.
