SERVANTS MUST BE GRATEFUL.
Servants Who Receive Tips Should
Express Their Thanks.


Walters in the most exclusive of the res
taurants have come to look upon the tip as
so certainly their right that they have
come TO assume an air that is offensive in
the extreme. There is no acknowledgment
from them for this courtesy on the part
of the diner now unless he gives them a
bill. when. of course, the waiter is obse-
quious in the extreme. and generally Of
fensively so when the bill is Of an excep-
tionalIy large denomination There is now
no Thank YOU for a tip in silver The
waiter merely grabs il as a thing that
belongs to him.
Naturally there has come revolt on
the part Of the diners. and several walters
in fashionable resorts have been receiy-
ing a mueh-needed lesson within the past
week or two. Men have begun to call wal
tiers back TO them when there has been
no Thank YOU in acknowledgment of q
tip, and on one pretext or another have
asked that the tip be returned, as if to
examine the change or increase the tip
Then these men. who only demand that
a waiter shall ut least profess to be thank
full for the gift, have quietly pocketed the
coin after telling the waiter that as he
had neglected to return thanks for the
pour boire he was. therefore, not entitled
to it.
This plan has worked well, though il
has made the walters who have thus lost
their tips through lack OF courtesy surly
and inclined to break erockery as a means
of relieving their minds, which latter is

His first letter, which he sent about
three months after he set foot on Ameri-

The walls OF the Tartar City are Of N
average height of fifty feet, but portions Of
the north wall reach the height o. 81 feet,
Their average width is about 10 feet, but
they have been built so irregularly that in
places a width Of 81 feet is found, In others
a width of only % feet. The outer face OF
the wall is perpendicular, while its inner
face slopes. in some places very consider
ably PaTapets are erected on both inner
and outer faces OF the wall, that on The

intervals OF about 90 or so yards are large
buttresses, every sixth being OF much
larger size than the others; the smaller
ones are about - feet 20 20 feet square
Part Of the inner brick lining having fallen
away from the north wall. IN opportunity
wes afforded Of observing its construction.
Near the gates the walls are occasionally
faced with stone. but in other parts by i'm

facings is filled UP, first by a solid founda-

then by a layer Of well rammei earth, an
other layer Of concrete. and another OF

large blocks OF granite, which form the ter

GUTENBERG's FIRST PRINTING.

IN connection with the Gutenberg CON-

generally known that the first book ac-

THE FIRST STOP

PLYMOUTH, Ind, September 49,
Mr.. Bryan made his first stop of i'm
portance at this point. A good crowd
was gathered at the railroad station and
Mr.. Bryan addressed them briefly from
the rear platform of the car.
Mr.. Bryan said in part:
We have every reason for the support
Of the ticket than we had in 1896 and
new reasons which have arisen since
that time. The Republican party have
shown it is not willing to destroy the
trusts The Republican party is at
tempting to increase the standing army
from $4,000 to 100000. Is there any
reason why the public at large should
favor such an increase? The Republi-
can party is trying to fasten upon the
country militarism and Imperialism
The Republican party wants to engraft
upon our country colonial policy. In
1896 they said we could not have a dou-
Bile standard of money, no wthey say
we can have a double standard of gov
eminent. There is no reason why you
should vote the Republican ticket if you
believe in the principles of self-govern-
ment and are willing that the Filipinos
shall govern themselves as well as de-
sirous that we shall govern ourselves.
