The question Of tipping" seems

hotels says she invariably gave quar-

dinner time she was joined by her hus-
band, who always handed the servitor
80 cents.
The latter sum seemed to evenly fill

as of one who says, women are mean,
an never knows 'ow to do the right
thing by q man, but one AS to put up

1t is only in reckless, good natured
America that optional fees are so much
larger than they ought to be. A dollar,
which is common enough sum for q
man to give at dinner in fashionable
restaurant, would make a French wait

presence Of mind to pocket it quickly.
In Paris there is an unwritten scale
which apportions 8 per cent on the

ELEPHANTS iN INDIA.


No One Allowed 70 Shoot Thsa withesS
Special Permission
Nobody may shoot an elephant, says
the London Eplegraph. on the Anna
MULE or Tippefah hills or anywhere else
throughout India and Ceylon without
permission unless il be rogue,
or plainly dangerous and destructive.
The capture of the wild elephant and
his careful training are things carried
out under an admirable and scientific
system, which gives to the administra-
tion in all its branches and to the native
courts superb staff OF massive and
faithful servants. the oommissariat and
artillery elephants.
Although they will seldom or never
breed in captivity, the grand creatures
are easy to keep and manage. invaluable
for many special purposes, and at their
demise whatever tusks they may carry 60
TO the worlds stock of ivory. The older
1t is the better generally its quality. But,
in any case, how senseless it seems to ex-
tirpate the living source Of this beauti-
ful commodity, as the reckless hunters
and ignorant native chiefs and mer-
chants are still allowed to do in central
Africal When shall we see the govern
ments Of these various regions sensible
enough to perceive and proclaim that
live elephants are very much more valu-
able even commercially than dead ones,
and that the preservation Of these state
ly and serivceable animals shall be
henceforward fixed policy for African
benefit?
1t has been truly remarked that di-
rectly The native and foreign hunters
are convinced that one live elephant is
worth dozens of tusks they will be as
keen TO preserve the animal as they now
are to exterminate him. We might plead
earnestly, even upon the ground Of @s-
theticism and natural science, for the
protection in future of the noble beast,
whose majesty and tranquility of mien
80 we'll become his silent haunts and
philosophic, harmless existence. The
ears of those, however, who massacre
the innocent giant TO cut from him 20
or 80 pounds of material for paper
knives and shoe horns would be closed
to such remonstrances. The best hope of
all who understand the value of the ell
ephant for Africa is that even the most
ruthless of his assassins may come to
learn that they are destroying their own
markets. The rest is for official authori.
ties to do. But certain it is that if de-
cided measures be not promptly taken
there will be no elephants to save and,
we shall see in another continent the
shameful human sin and folly perpe-
trated which has stripped America OF
every free living vestige of her noble
droves Of bison

OFFERED A SQUARE GAME.


How . Young Lawyer Collected Bills From
Chicago Gambler.
A young attorney just starting out In
his profession in Chicago was commits
stoned to collect a number Of bills by
prominent tailor Of the town. All these
accounts were against gamblers. Some
Of them had been sued on and judg-
ment had been obtained. These judg-
Ments, however, had not been collected.
A liberal percentage was offered the
lawyer il he could succeed in collecting
any of them. The attorney had his own
notion as to how to go to work on these
accounts and listened to the tailor's ad-
vice about "going for them hot" with
dubious smile
He selected bill Of $75 for one suit
Of clothes against quite noted knight
of the green cloth and proceeded to try
his plan. Calling on this man, he told
him that he had not come to threaten
IL the bill was correct he would call ut
any time the debtor would designate
for part or the whole Of the bill; that
if the debtor would say he would not
pay the bill the lawyer would not call
again; that all he asked was a square
deal; that he would call only when the
debtor made an appointment to pay
money. as he did not propose to inaugu-
rate a system of Cunning.
The gambler heard him through with
perfectly impassive face and then said:
''That's fair The other collectors didn't
know their business. They tried to bluff
me, and they 'dunned' me. Your game
is "a square one, and I'll give it a whirl.
Here is my card. Call Tuesday, and l
will pay you half. Have you got any
more bills against the boys?'
On being told Of the other accounts
he sat down, took dozen Of his cards,
wrote across them 80. K.," and said to
the attorney, Hand one of these to each
man you go to, tell him your game and
you will get your money"
The lawyer did SO. In not one single
instance was bill repudiated, and in
every case all appointments and agree
ment to pay were kept with scrupulous
fidelity. Every account was finally paid
to the last penny, and the tailor won
dered at the collection of these, to him,
desperate accounts. - San Francisco
