HOTEL TIPS.

"There's a man who has been EN-
ployed as a waiter in one of the hotels
of this city for nearly twenty years, y
said a veteran policeman yesterday,
and the reporter, to whom the remark
was made, took the hint, and, follow
ing the cOlOred man, asked "Where
are you employed now 2"
"Just now | am working in the din
ing room at the Third street station.
You see, I've got two weeks vaca-
ton, wages go on just the same, and
Pm earning double wages by putting
in my work at the station for friend
whose wife is sick"
this 2"
''Oh, yes, he's willing"
"And the friend for whom you are
working 2"
ale gives me half his regular wages
for filling his place for him."
"DOn't walters make n good deal out
of tips from guests they serve?"
"SOme do and some never make a
cent. You see, there are very few hO-
tells or public dining rooms where the
giving of tips is not prohibited con-
sequently man has to be pretty slick
10 iHdho any IuluS OildO way WltuOuG VIC
head waiter gets on to him."
"YOu draw out tips by serving the
customer slowly Or"
"That's where you are wrong. No
waiter can serve a guest faster than
the boss of the carving table will al
low. Where a dozen walters rush in
on the carver and the other serving
table assistants are at work, man has
got to wait his turn. 1t won't do to
get your vegetables first and then
wait five or eight minutes for the meats
and a minute or two for the tea or
coffee, cause by that time the vegeta-
bles would be chilled through"
"HOw does a waiter, then, repay a
'tip' by quick service 2"
"By knowing his business. He
must hustle for the best place in the
line and he must remember each ar
ticle in his order. Lots of walters get
ratified and forget half they are sent
for, and have to make two and some
times three trips before they fill an or
der"
"What would the head waiter do
with a man caught accepting tips
from guests 2"
"Some one thing and some another.
With some it would mean q discharge,
and with others it would mean a
'whack-up.' I've known cases where
head walters demanded third of all
gifts to walters; and I've known, too,
where a third went to the head waiter
and third went to the boss of the
carving ROOM"
ga sort of pool 2"
"That's about it but there's lots of
tips taken even that nobody gets OH
to but the fellow who gets them"

Bad for Western Nerves.
NeaU York Tribune.

The New York correspondent of the
indianapolis Journal states that Ros-

ly undone" and his baked potatoes
"very well DONE" 1t is such thrilling
items of intelligence as these that are
doing so much to undermine the ner-
vous system of the West.

Atlanta Constitution.

In October, 1888, it will be Cleve-

it will be Cleveland by an increased
majority. Those who feel that they
cannot become reconciled to either of
the above events with satisfaction have
just two years and one month in
which to move out of the country.

Music's Soothing Power.
NeaO Orleans Picayune.

A minister named M. c. had a
circuit in southern Indiana. The horse
he rode was spirited animal, and
would not let blacksmith shoe him.
The preacher was great revivalist
and singer of revival songs. A smith
in the county seat, the center of the
circuit, learning that the preachers
horse would not be shod, meeting the
divine one day said:
"If you'll bring that horse to my
shop tomorrow, and follow my in
structiOns, I'll shoe him all round, and
it won't cost you cent"
Accordingly the preacher was on
time at the smiths shop with his re-
fractory steed, aud after the animal
had been Invested of saddle, blankets,
and all but the bride, the smith said ::
"Now, hold your horse by the rein,
close to the bride bit, and sing one of
your liveliest camp-meeting songs,
and when that is ended strike up
another, and keep OH singing until |
finish shoeing the horse"
The preacher obey ed, and, to the as
constituent of all, the animal was pas
sive until the work was completed.
AS the blacksmith clinched the last
nail he dropped the animals foot, ex-
claiming:
81 knew you could sing religion into
that horse"

THE GOVERNORS INAUGURAL.
Some Practical Suggestions to Legis1a-
tors.

Some Practical Suggestions to Legisla-
The inaugural address of the new
governor is lengthy document, but
we make space for some of it's excel
lent suggestions and recommendations:
Finances.
From the treasurer's report it APP
pears, that, at the close of the last fis-
cal year, July 81, 1886, the state liza
bilities were S199, 223, and the re-
sources S475,9 The items making
up the liabilities include SI57 AS, not
subject to call, which sum deducted
from the total liabilities leaves, sub
ject to be paid presently, Sal ,769.05,
showing an excess of resources over
current liabilities of 1894 ,2O5.92.
That misapplied or withheld funds
of the state have largely found their
way into the treasury is cause for con-
graduation, but not an excuse for re-
Taxation of vigilance. 1t often hap
peus that there is the greatest danger
in fact, when quiet and seeming pros
perity abound. An empty treasury is
far from being an unmixed evil; it
prompts and encourages care and
economy, while an overlooking one
often leads the way to extravagant APP
preparations and waste of public funds.
In the matter of the management
and investment of savings banks funds
the governor thinks every other con-
sideratiOn should be secondary to and
yield to that of safety, and heartily
approves the suggestion of the inspect
or of finance that the present limit 1854
per cent? within which savings depos-
its may be invested in western mort
cages, be reduced to 40 per cent.

The question of re-submitting To the peo-
pie OF the county again vote upon local
option is one of the important topics of the
day. Our people are very much against
the passage of such an act, and are very
energetic with their petitions. A counter
petition has also been in circulation, but its
reception here was exceedingly cold, and
its bearers, like the boy who stuck his finger
in the hole in the hornets nest, left abrupt.
ly with disgust.
The Independent Order OF Good Tenn
plars, of this place, now numbering over
one hundred members, are doing an excel
lent work, and, Judging from some of the
material which constitutes part of its
membership, we may expect the good al
ready begun by them will continue. A
number of the conversions in the NJ. T..
Church South during the protrac;ed meet
ing held here last Fall were members of
that order.

Mary Had a Little Kid.

Mary had little black-eyed kind,
An rphan-cosset-brou up by hand ;
Whatever he saw that Mary did,
To try that feat this dear kid was bound.
Dick would climb and play yes he would
butt,
And one day pitched Mary in the pond -
But eating was the kids strongest point,
And OF tarts and stamps alike was fond.
Sometimes he would try tempting shoe,
An apron.string or tomato can,
Or old hoop skirt; anything would do
For this sportive young barbarian.
Poor Dicks eyes with wonder opened wide
When Mary took some Castoria Drops
So he smashed the vial by her side
And Tapped the dregs before he stopped.
Bounding out Of doors when feeling we'll,
Mary found Dick sullen on the grass -
Because he liked It's taste and smell,
lie ate iheco and munched broken glass.
