There is one more thing l must tell

A Decision F@voFably Received by
the POrters In Pullman Cara.
Far out on the prairies, in the depths
of the Rockies, beside the mixed drinks
Mississippi and in the greenwood re-
treats to the north, the other morning
a glad word was being passed from
mouth to mouth by the dusky porters
of the Pullman cars. says the Chicago
Inter Ocean. The colored wearers of
natty blue uniforms and white caps
were calling one to the other, as long
trains halt parallel at sidings. that the
government at Washington has decid-
ed to allow porters' tips in the expense
accounts of United States employees
travelling on duty by rail.

knight of the Pullman summed up the
situation. He added: "Ev'ry man wot
travel on de sleepahs be glad dat new

The government had never until the
other day allowed a tip in a travelling
expense bill. Then the comptroller,
after worrying four months over a con-
tract nurses bill for so cents for fee
after a trip from Chicago to San Fran
cisco. allowed the item. The contract
nurse had in the meantime asked, beg
ged and even prayed that the remain
der of his expense account be allowed
without the so cents. His answer was
