How lse'a FIX the Big Snake.

Garry benson and the sea-serpent are
not congenial. Garry claims this section
of the Hudson rs his property on the ground
of prior occupation, and VOWS death and
destruction on his snakeship's head should
he dare trespass on his grounds. The dis
covery of the monster few days since just
below the city inspired many Of his juven-
lie pupils with fear of death by mastica-
ton, and it has required good deal of ex-
ira swimming and tumbling about in the
water on Garry's part to keep the young
sters from deserving him. Before that
thing showed up" remarked Garry, "the
season had been vesy good one. There
were good many cold days, but they didn't
hurt the business any to speak of. Then
the house was rather small, but there
was shallow water and fine beach Just
back of it that the lads used as much as the
bath itself. Now this snake or whale OF
old stump, whatever it is sticks its nose out
of the water down the river and the boys
begin to see snakes whenever they come to
swim. If had lots of money I d hunt the
thing with dynamite and hand his scalp ii
he has any on the bath flagstaff. "-AlJany

A Protest Against Tipping.

A gentleman from Boston, says an ex-
change, who objects on principle to the
scheme Of tipping walters i'll hotel dining
room, went to New York City the other day,
and failing to produce the customary coin
in the hotel dining groom of the fashionable
uptown hotel where he stopped, was near
ly starved. He descended on the proprietor
irate. saying: II pay high enough rate for
this hotels accommodations, but find that
in addition to what I hand across the
counter to your cashier I have also to SUBJ
NIT to a tax in the dining room, or else get
nothing decent to eat.
MY dear sir" was the hotel proprietor's
reply, II am the same sort of slave that
you are. have to ante up right here
in my own hotel. I've tried to break the
tipping up half dozen times, and every
time have been broken up myself. It is
oil wrong there is no doubt about that,
but hotel men are powerless to stop the evil.
I am willing to give $1,000 for plan that
would cure it and keep it cured. As it is
have to put down my coin at my own
plate every day."

where he had q fish. When he started
home his horse was in q hurry to leave and
rushed the buggy over some p ne logs that
We're lying on the ground. A rat had built
a nest in the top of the buggy, and becom-
ing alarmed at the jolting, jumped from the
lining into the doctors lap, ran up his
sleeve, out at the collar Of his coat, and
then back into his bosom. The doctor
didn't know what lind Of a varnint was
desecrating his person, stopped the buggy
and began to disrobe i'll o hurry. The rat
