NO TIPS FOR HIS WATERS
New York Restaurant Man Makes a Discovery-Then Came Change
 in His System.

My walters get very few tips" !" said a downtown restaurant man, "and I don't have to print notices to my customers that they are not expected to tip the waiter. It is really very simple and within the power of a restaurant manager to stop the custom if he wants to do so, says the New York Times.
 "You see, when a customer tips a waiter regularly he expects to get extra service or to have his check sealed down, and the res taurant is beaten by the game. In other words, the tipping of wait CTS took money out of my pocket.
 q said nothing, but kept my eyes open for few days, and l saw that it was in handing the check to the customer that the walters got their tips. When they were doubtful of a man they actually made him ask for his check. That observation made it simple.
 ssWithout a word about tips I made rule that when a GUS. toner was served the waiter should immediately lay down by his plate the check for the amount ordered and change it subsequent- ly if he ordered more. That left no opportunity for the waiter to dumbly suggest that his hand was open, and it made it easy for the customer to get away without giv- ing coin to the man who had served him.
 ssIn week tipping had practic- ally ceased in my restaurant and the checks began to increase to the right size. All paid for what they got and others increased their orders as soon as they were relieved of paying tribute to the waiter. It worked admirably and helped my business. Restaurant men are foolish not to stop the tipping imposition. They can dc if if they want to-"

Cuban Fishes.

An interesting addition has re- gently been made to the Natural History museum, South Kensing- ton, London, by the receipt of specimens of some of the blind cave-fishes of Cuba. The special interest of these fishes lies in the fact that their alliance is with saltwater forms which exist in the neighboring sea, and not with fresh-water fishes, as is the case with Amblyopsis and it's allies of the great cave of Kentucky. There can be little doubt that the Cuban caves in which the blind fishes are found were formerly in communication with the sea, and that the ancestors of these fishes entered the caves from the adja- cent ocean.

ADVICE TO THE sHlFTLEss
Hard Sense, If Persisted Tn, Will Over come Hard Luck--Don't Tell
 Your Troubles.

A very keen politician going abroad for an extended tour ad- vertised for a man to relieve him of the smaller worries of travel ing, says the London Post. He re- duced the applicants to one, and was about to complete the negc- fiations when the fortunate per son began to tell him of his ca reer, his ambitions, opportunities and misfortunes-ag genuine hard luck story. The politicianlist for awhile, and then suddenly in terposed: q find that 1 do not want you," and when pressed for his reason, added: q never hire bad-luck people, especially the kind who talk about it."
 There seems to be an injustice in this, and there doubtless is. At the same time this politician was judge of men, or he would not have been a successful pollti- elan. Most persons who have achieved success are obliged to lis- ten to bad-luck stories, despite their efforts to avoid them. The main reason the modern merchant or manager protects himself with "a guard of doorkeepers and ante rooms is to escape callers who want to take up his time by nar- ratives of their misfortunes.
 Every large center of popula- Ition has it's army of bad-luck sui ferers, and among them are men of education, men who are almost, but not quite, strong enough to reach success. Their point of view is out of compass, their bear ings are wrong; their attitude is that some one who has succeeded must make amends for their own shortcomings. These unfortun- ates are probably the most hope less persons in the world-hope- less not so much in their own ideas as in the possibilities of their reformation. When man places his own inadequacy on ill luck he is not worth anything to anybody-not even to himself.
 Luck. is the tide, nothing more. The strong man rows with it if it makes toward his port. He rows against it if it flows the other way. Fair or foul, flood or ebb, he rows. And the world has very lit tie time to waste on the man who complains that the tide did not turn at every bend to suit his course.

Children Labeled for Travelling

The practice of labelling chil- dren and sending them across the Atlantic, addressed as parcels, would appear to be getting rather general. A number of children so labeled have passed through Queenstown from time to time lately. From the Dominion liner New England, which has arrived there from Boston, was landed a little boy not quite nine years old. He was addressed to his uncle at Kilkenny. He had travelled from Chicago unaecompanied, and had been transferred just as a parcel would be by the various forward ing companies through whose hands he passed.

GLOVES FROM RAT SKINS.
Only One Pair Was Ever Made and That Was Very Small-Inter-
 esting Glove Lore.

A report comes from Copenha- gen that a great rat hunt has been organized there, and that the skins of many thousands of the victims are to be used in making gloves. If the rat hunters in the Danish capital cherish any such hopes, says the Pail Mall Gazette, they are doomed to disappoint- ment.
 Rat skins cannot be made into gloves fit for commerce. The be- lief that a valuable raw material is being neglected here survives only in the minds of the inexpert. The glove maker knows much better. A Norwegian merchant once came to England and in- formed we'll known glove maker that he had collected oyer 100, ,000 rat skins and was prepared to re- ceive offers for them. He was fully convinced that the skins were suitable for glove making. But the manufacturer found that the largest skin was only some six inches long, and he held up kid skin for the smallest size of glove, a child's, which was eight inches long, and asked how he was to cut such q glove out of rat skin.
 Then he took up the smallest kid skin for lady's glove, II inch es long, and when he asked how that was to be cut out of rat skin the Norwegian merchant laughed at the idea and went away disap- pointed. The best offer he got for those skins, which he had col lected with so much care, was five sbillings a hundredweight from a man who was willing to boil them down for glue.
 A famous glove making firm has a collection of curiosities relating to the trade, and one of them is the largest pair of gloves ever made out of a rat skin. The be- lief that such skins could be made into gloves was laid before the managers so confidently that they resolved to put it to the trial, and they ordered a number of skins of the largest rats which could be found in Grimsby. But the rat is fighting animal, and bears the marks of many battles on his body, and it was found that the skins were so scared and torn that it was with the utmost diffi- culty that perfect pieces large enough for the purpose could be obtained. In the end, after ten skins had been used, a pair of gloves was cut and made, and they are retained in the collection to this day. But they are so small that they would only fit the small est of small boys. Thus it was shown that, however cheaply rat skins might be obtained, they would offer no advantage to the glove maker. The rabbit skin is equally useless for the purpose, and humane people may also dis miss from their minds the fear that the skins of pet dogs are made into gloves. The dog skin glove of which we used to hear is made of nothing but the skin of the Cape goat.

Tennessee needs Senator Carmack al
St Louis, and though he has the gooG
taste not to seek the honor of dele,
gateship, the party will, doubtless,
award it to him. Should occasion
arise at the National Convention for
the South to voice its opinion and i'm
press its counsels, no man could
meet that demand with finer concep-
ton of its significance md responsi
bilitv. end no man could more fully
measure to the necessities of the oc-
casion in courage, candor and states
manship. A generation has passed
since Tennessee played more than a
perfunctory part at a national gather
ing. We confess to a pride which
would rejoice were it heralded that q
Tennessean, son Of the soil and bred in
its school of manhood had challenged
and won the ear of the Nation through
some powerful and quick response to
opportunity in a National Convention.
If Carmack were on the floor and the
South needed champion, he would
rise to the emergency and reflect honor
upon the State. Franklin Review

many bright and beautiful castles in

faults and his weaknesses and his vir-
tues; and. withal know him to love
him. will demand something more
than the charge they win demand
the proof, that the bad temper, which
renders the incompatibility unendur-
able, is his, and not hers who makes
the charge. Gov. Taylor has enemies,
as all public men have; and this mis-
fortune OF his will be sweet morsel

the conclusion that he is not what he

Judge Hart, of Nashville, die
exactly right in ignoring the "mitigat
ing circumstance" alleged to have
been found by the jury in the Tom Cox
verdict, and in sentencing him to
hang. Cox was guilty of a dastardly,
cold blooded murder, for which there
was no extenuation or excuse and he
deserves death. Thursday Judge Sam
Holding, in the Circuit Court here !,
rendered decision identical to Judge
Harris. A negro phosphate miner at
Mt. Pleasant shot another nergo to
death in cold blood. and the jury found
him guilty-with mitigating circum-
stances. - Judge Holding over ruled
a motion for a new trial. and taking
no notice of the alleged mitigating
circumstances, sentenced him to be
hung Tennessee needs just such fear
less upright judges as Judge Hart and
Judge Sam Holding.

wife were strained. and that they have
not been living together
This afternoon the expected hap
pened when Mrs Taylor filed bill for
absolute divorce and alimony in the
/ Chancery Court, through ]. W. Cald-
well. of this city, and Jones & Fits,
of Tuscaloosa, Ala.
In her bill Mrs. Taylor states that
their relations became unpleasant six
months ago, and charges that her hus-
band had abandoned and failed to sup
port her. She claims that she has
written him numerous letters asking
him to resume his relations as her hus-
band, but he failed to comply. She
knows that he is the owner of consid
cradle property in Knoxville and
Memphis, and asks for suitable alimony
and an absolute divorce
Gov. Taylor and his second wife,
Mrs. Alice Fits Hill, who now sues
him for divorce, were married at
Tuscaloosa, Ala, Sept %. 1901. Mrs.
Hill at the time was planning trip to
California. but the eloquence of Gov.
Taylor persuaded her to marriage.
After the ceremony they left on a we'd
ding trip to Louisville, Ky, and other
cities, reaching Knoxville two weeks
later.
Last October Mrs. Taylor went on
visit to friends in Alabama and since
then she has been in Knoxville but
once, spending few days at the Inn
perial Hotel, while the Ex-Governor
was absent from the city
Mrs. Taylor is daughter of Hon.
James H. Fits, prominent banker,
in Montgomery and Treasurer of the
State University.
From inside sources it is learned /
that in all probability the ex Governor
will not fight the bill but will allow a
decree pro confesso to be entered and
pay the amount of alimony that the
court directs
ExGov Taylor has spent the past
three months preparing his new lecture,
Castles in the Air, y which he will
give for the first time tomorrow night
at Greeneville. Tenn. Then will fol-
low an engagement of one hundred lee
lures which will take him away from

that is dangerous and sinister in

unsparing absolutism in the exercise
of power: for mad-cap ambition and
overweening self-confidence. revealing
in surprise and doting on spectacular
effects; for the disregard of both the
letter and the spirit of the written
law for wasteful. criminal profiigacy

cloak can be drawn about the corrupt
adventurer and the blatant organizer.
