FORTUNES MADE IN TIPS.
One Man Averaged $1,000 a Year for
Twenty Years.

In some restaurants in New York
the walters put all their tips in a
box and divide equally. That is a
very general plan in Paris. As rule,
in this country, however. what each
gets is his own. In one cafe, with
three distinct sets of patrons the tip
ping is so constant that the walters
serving there pay handsomely for the
privilege. There is, however, only
one such place.
At another well patronized place
some of the walters have served many
years. One of these the other day
said he had kept account Of his tips
for twenty years. The lowest on rec
ord was $500. the highest 81 800, while
the average was 81 300. This means
that in tips this worthy man had
