TIPPING is LIKE GAMBLING.
Walters Prefer 1t to Higher Wages With
Elements of Chance Omitted.

An up town caterer, when speaking OF
the tipping evil the other day, said that he
would like to abolish it In his place, but
that this couldn't be done.
II give my walters S25 month and
their board" he continued. IF l were to
offer them $50 with tipping prohibited,
they would one and all go away. Yet
doubt whether they average 81 day,
which is less than the difference in tips.
My place Is modest one, you know, and
few tips are higher than 10 cents. Many
of my customers, too, are women, who
seldom tip at all.
"In my opinion the attraction In tipping
TO a waiter-that Is, the reason he prefers
it TO higher wages with it prohibited-is
the element of chance. He'd rather have
s. day and the possibility Of making 50
or SO more in tips than certain 81, not
SO much because of the additional gain in
yolyed as because of the uncertainty. 1t
has the zest of gambling. He counts each
dime he gets during tho day, AMI when
tho aggregate reaches the higher figure just
named, if not the lower, he feels all the
triumph of a gambler who has broken the
bank. Take away tipping, and you re-
move this stimulus which has added inter
est to his days work and deprive him OF
| what has made his toll comparative
| pleasure. Even when he gets less than the
! sum l think my walters average, 81, he
| feels like the gambler who considered that
next to the pleasure of winning was that
| of losing. New York sun.

He was man well known in town. and people
called him Bing.
de could tell another person how to do most
anything,
And, strange as 1t may seem to you, for none
OF his advice
Would he exact of friend or foe even the small
est price.
And though he never owned house he could
another show
Just where the rafters and ridgepole ough!
properly TO go,
And though in naught he ever tried was he
great success.
He always thought that his advice was far
from valueless.
He could tell another person just when to buy
and sell,
And IL they followed his advice he knew they
would do well,
And though TO aid somebody else he often
used 10 yearn
When Ger he acted for himself things took n
losing turn.
Ie could tell big contractor just how to dig
ditch
| And could map out for merchant the sure
| way to get rich
| lie knew Just whty q man should sleep and
when girl should wed,
| And yet he scarce had brains enough to earn
his daily bread.
de could tell railroad magnate how best to
| build his road,
| And the way to run a paper an editor has
| showed,
1 And as to give doctor points one day he
kindly tried
He suddenly fell sick himself and very shortly

The Toilet Table.

Here are few things which the woman
who is thoroughly careful of complexion,
teeth, etc., will always keep on her toilet
table.
she should have an array of glass stop
ped bottles containing alcohol, alum, cam
phor, borax, ammonia and glycerin or
yaseline. A little camphor OF water may
no used as wash for the mouth ard
throat if the breath is not sweet. Pow
dered alum applied to fever sore Will
prevent it from becoming very unsightly
and noticeable
Insect stings or eruptions on the skin
are removed by alcohol. A few grains OF
alum in tepid water will relieve people
whose hands perspire very freely, render
ing them unpleasantly moist
Be careful in the use of scented soap. In
many cases the perfume Is simply dis
guise for poor quality. A good glycerin
or honey soap is always preferable vi
course ono may rely on scented soap from
a high class manufactures. In addition
to tho soap for bathing, white CASTLE should
be- kept for washing the hair.

FATE OF THE SHIPS PET.
= Fourth Of July Celebration which Enc-
Ell Ia Disaster.

"That billygoat the boys had for a
mascot on the New York" remarked
the paymaster' clerk, suggests mon
key that my father used 90 tell me
about that they had on frigatc in the
times before the war. This monkey the
sailors had picked up somewhere i'll the
Indian ocean countries.
Tho ship was stationed in the China
ports for a year, and during that time
the monkey was the light and JOY OF
the whole crew. When the Fourth OF
July came around, permission was ask
ed from the harbor authorities Of the
port where they were TO fire n salute,
aud preparations We're made for doing II
in style. The regular salute was fired,
and then 1t was proposed that the crew
sing The Star Spanglcd Banner and
fire IA gun for chorus. The gun was load
ed and everything was left ready while
the crew went 10 the main deck, where
something to drink the health of the
nation was 10 be served before the song
was sung, and the gunner was 10 be
sent back TO shoot off the chorus.
Inc lIOAIsiiniht WAS ctIIi'u out w
the letter Then the men scattered, and
somebody thought of the monkey. But
he was not to bc found. The cook hadn {
seen him, nor had the cooks boy, nor
would he respond to any of the calls
that usually brought him flying. What
had become of him no one knew until
o'clock, when a boats crew went
ashore TO IA big spring for water. The
ship lay OF from this spring about a
quarter of mile. and over il was IA big
shade tree. When the men came to the
spring, they noticed i'll the branches of
the tree something that had IA familiar
look 10 it, and knocking il out with
sticks and stones they found the pink
nose of their poor little pct attached 70
few shrcds and patches of monkey
skin.
THAT told the story of the disappear
ance OF Mug the monkey He had in a
spirit of sport chased himself into the
mouth of that saluting cannon and wher
they fired it Mug went ashore. -

LINCOLN ESCAPED.
A Vain Attempt to Inoculate Him With
Smallpox In 1861.

During the exciting period of 1861
great fears were entertained for the
safety Of the president, and every pre-
caution was taken TO insure his person
al protection.
One morning there appeared at the
White House woman. closely yelled,
demanding an immediate interview
with Mr.. Lincoln. Approaching Mes
senger Perkins, who guarded the door
of Mr.. Lincoln private Office, the Wis
itor make known her request and plead
ed earnestly that She be admitted to IA
personal interview The doorkeepcr's
orders were, however, very strict, and
finding her eloquence all in vain she
finally compromised by confiding her
message 10 the courteous but firm en-
ployee Taking him to one side, the
yelled lady seized both his hands i'll hers
and tenderly rubbed them az she ex-
tracted promise that he would imme-
diatcly deliver her request to the prcsi-
dent Perkins was almost overcome by
a most peculiar odur that appeared e.
emanatc from his companion and has
ttiltb W Etb il'A VI I'LL NAAiout 'A'tAAtF-
scene.
No sooner had he accomplished this
than he confided to one of the official
household the effect produced upon him
while in conversation with the impor-
tunate visitor. A physician who was
present promptly OWNED the truth and
instituted search for the woman, when
it was learned that she had driven rap
idly away in carriage, and all trac,
was lost Perkins was Immediately or.
dcred to return to his home and await
developments.
Within the usual period he was taken
4 i'll with one of the worst cases of viru
lent smallpox on record. and for weeks
lay at the point Of death. Upon his re
covery the faithful messenger, who's
devotion to duty doubtless saved the life
Of the president, was appointed by Mr..
Lincoln TO permanent position ON the
