TIPPING,
why and to Whom Gratuft;es A..
More or Less CheerfulIy Given.

"oTe oF Less SheeffHiIy Given
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The real foundation for the Ginning"
habit finds its root in the custom of man
kind which is as old as history to bestow
some monetary qualification upon persons
who act in a purely mental capacity.
That this Is the true reason is plain. If
can be seen on the railroad train. which is
the happy hunting ground of the betipped
porter No one thinks of Tipping the
brakeman, though his pay Is hardly more
than the pOrter's. Nor does anv one deeno
1t proper to offer gratuity to the sleeping
car conductor, whose income is not eyactIv
munlfcent, The reason is that the brake
man and the conductor are approximately
on the same level with the traveller They
are servants, not of the passenger, but II
the company, and it is felt that to offer
them tips would constitute an affront
rather than n benevolence The porter
however fills double role He Is the EN-,
ploye of the company. but he is likewise
the servant of the traveller, and in the lat
ter capacity it is deemed proper to reward
him for his services.
Take a hotel. Nobody "tips" the clerk
heaven help the man who should trv it,
no one chucks quarter or half dollar
10 the CASHIER ana nobody would take such
a liberty with a bartender These are ali
servants in a way, but they are not me,,io
servants. They are as good as the guest
outside the desk or in front of the bar.
But the walter and the chambermaid. thu
barber-even the dignfied and impressive
head waiter-Will take tips without a blush
they expect them. What is more, the guest
who is considerate Of his personal comfort
will not disappoint the expectation.
The distinction, therefore is easy to ho
made. The servant whose duties are me-
nial-quasi domestic-the man who directly
ministers to ones personal comfort
brushes his clothes, serves his food, shaves
him. this servant always has been s.tinned"
and always will be tipped" despite ali the
'anti-tipping'' efforts of officials and indi-
viduals. The money qualifications he re-
the loss of personal dignity which his Of
fee involves.

Jobson.
"Oh, well, if you've got so pulled I'D over
the pair of accidental. fiukey games you've
won, why, just to take you down a peg,
I'll"
1t was Mr.. Jobson's first move. Instead
of massing his forces in the center he be-
gan playing that fragile game from the
sides, and before he had made five moves
Mrs. Jobson had two of his men for one of
hers, and no chance of his getting his man
back. Mr. Jobson's forehead began to per-
spire, he leaned his chin in his hand and
painted heavily, and he regarded Mrs. job
sons face out of the tail of his eve with
cold suspicion. Mrs. Jobson gradually wore
him down until she had two kings to his
one. Then she cornered him.
Mr.. Jobson didn't say word as he ar
ranged his men for another game He
started in, however, as If he had thousands
of dollars at stake, and he moppcd his
forehead constantly. Despite all the male
intellect he could bring to bear however,
Mrs. Jobson got into his king row twice
before dozen moves had been made. Then
Mr.. Jobson rose with a stately air.
Madame" he said, 81 think it would be
wise for us to come to an understanding at
the earliest practicable moment. It is not
enough that, anticipating my Inauguration
of the game of checkers in this establish
ment, you have been practicing the game
necessarily during my absence, to the ne
glect of your household duties; 1t is not
enough that you have probably sought out
some expert IN the game of draughts, and
had him teach you a mere mechanical ex-
cellence in it; but when, madame, I detect
you in the very act of surreptitiously remov-
ing my men from the board, call q halt!
Perhaps you don't think 1 saw you tipping
two of my men off the board during the
progress of each of these two last games,
but 1 did, Mrs. Jobson-I did And by the
time 1 return from the fiery, untamed night
which intend putting in down town, may
be you'll"
Mr.. Jobson grabbed his hat and coat and
shot out, slamming the door, just then. He
returned, dumped the checkerboard and
checkers into the latrobe, and went up
stairs to bed without a word.

No Need Of legislation.

At every session of the Legislature

with a charming smile, enquired Of NE II
her hat in any way intertered with my
view of the stage and apologetically
pleaded Il cold as her excuse for wearing
it,. At first i was TOO staggered to frame
an intelligent reply, but finally managed

that the hat was a most becoming thing
and then for a few moments | think
must have lost consciousness"
Did this happen in the Carson Opera

The Fish Commission er.

MIR. McGOwan of this county has intro
duced "A bill to provide for a Fish Com
missioner for this State, with his duties;
etc.
There are many reasons why the bill
should pass and become a law and Il few
are set forth as follows:
Last summer the streams within the
State in many places almost went dry
killing the fish that had been placed there
bys Fish Commissioner of the State
years before. Other water ways We're
used for irrigation to such an extent that
the fish were killed. and what few
streams did flow last year were almost
depleted of the tinuy tribe by the people
who visited the various mountain
streams.
The State of California has asked for
cooperation i'll this matter III the True
keo river. aud such cooperation can only
DC had by the active work of a Commits
sioner. 1t is not the people of this sec
ton of the State alone that enjoy the
sport and usefulness of fish, but there
are a number of streams in the Eastern
part of the State that have been we'll
stocked and have furnished abundant
food for many people.
The act only asks for $1,000 for such
purposes, which by the way should be
doubled, and if the State of Nevada
cannot support a measure of this kind it
ought to retire and be compelled to 60 on
an army ration, such as was used during
the last war.
The bill should and will probably pass
and the APPEAL hopes that every mem-
Der of the House lends Mr.. McGowan as
Sistance on his measure.
The bill provides for the introduction
of both foreign and native fish in oul
streams, lakes and rivers, the building o
ladders and other necessary measures Il
gain good results from fish propagation
1t also requires the builders and owner:
Of dams and instructions in water way!
to provide fish ladders.
Section of the bill provides for thu
taking of fish only with line and hOok
