THE TIP AND THE b LIB E
Continued from rage y

that has not had trouble over the tip
ping of assessors, smoke inspectors and
other officials. the tip growing easily to
the Importance of bride.
In business life men have not hest
tated to tip purchasing agents and others
who happen to be in a position to in
fuence or give business, and many men
owe the loss of their positions to the fact
that they have accepted such tips. Yet
the very man who discharges an employee
for accepting a tip may not hesitate to
invite business by giving a nice little
present to another's employee.
There you have 1.-THE sinister in
fuence of the miscellaneous tipping
habit The man who buys or sells
trifiing favors in this way is naturally
somewhat tolerant of the man who does
the same thing on larger scale. And
the man who does it on larger scale
justifes himself by asserting that, in
one way or another, all do it. Of course
that is not literally true, but there are
enough who do business on this principle
to make the unthinking accept his asser-
ton, and they are then ready to excuse
themselves in the same way. 1t is the
moral influence that is doing the harm,
leading us to talk lightly of graft that is
less than one degree removed from down.
right bribery; and the whole pernicious
miserable system is founded on the tip
the plain, plebeian promiscuous tip,
that we accepted from abroad as a
nuisance and with our usual prodigality
transformed into burden and menace.

a consciousness of the falseness and
danger of his position; on the contrary, it
will be SO slight that he will hardly notice
it, and the chances are that he will be
betraying the interests of his legitimate
employer in minor ways for long time
before he really appreciates it. Then-well
then, even if his conscience has not be-
come so warped that he does not care, he
may find it difficult to extricate himself.
The railroad rebate, that has been re-
ceiving SO much attention recently, IS
nothing more than a tip to get business.
The Lexow Committee unearthed a ire
mendous tipping system in New York
some years ago, and other cities have
been troubled similarly. 1t is bribery,
of course; but it begins with the tip
In some cities a substantial tip has been
found necessary to stimulate the interest
of detectives in particular case, and the
patrolman's bar-room tip is notorious.
1t paves the way to graft of other kinds.
The Standard Oil Company built up its
monopoly by exacting tips in the shape
of rebates.
One of the principal charges made
against the packers combine is that it
has carried the tipping system to its logical
conclusion, and that it differs from the
waiter only in the amount of the tribute
that it exacts for its business favors.
The notorious Sam Parks merely let
the habit of exacting tips get the better
of him, and various other labor-union
officials have been concerned similarly.
There is hardly a city in the country

had climbed to the top of the 1ronwOrk,
thrust one front paw through between
two of the bars (bears are the greatest
busy-bodies on earth), and when he
sought to withdraw it, the sharp point
of bar in the overhang of the tree-guard
had buried itself in the back of his hand,
and held him fast. 1t seemed as if his leg
was broken, and also dislocatcd at the
shoulder-no wonder the poor little chap
squalled for help! His mother, on the
other side of the partition, was almost
frantic with baffled sympathy, for she
couldn't do anything to help him.
1t did not take more than a quarter
of minute to have several men running
for crowbars and other things, and within
three minutes from the discovery we were
in the den ready for action. The little
chap gave two or three cries to let us
know how badly it hurt his leg to hang
there, then bent his small mind upon
rendering us assistance.
First we lifted him up bodily, and held
him, to remove the strain. Then, by
good luck, we had at hand stout iron
bar with U-shaped end; and with that
under the injured wrist, and a crowbar
to spring the treacherous Overhang, we
lifted the foot clear, and lowered little
Brownie to the floor. From first to last
he helped us all he could, and seemed to
realize that it was clearly mo fair" to
bite or scratch. Fortunately the leg was
neither broken nor dislocated, and al
though Brownie limped for ten days, he
soon was all right again. After the Incl
dent had been closed, | gave the men
brief lecture on the language of bears,
and the necessity of being able to recog-
nize the distress call.

In 1902 there was startling exhibition
of monkey language at our primates'
house That was before the completion
of the lion house We had to find tenn
porary outdoor quarters for the big
iaguar, Senior Lopez; and there being
nothing else available we decided to
place him in the big circular cage at the
north end of the series of outside cages
at the primates' house. 1t was May, and
the balloons, red faced monkeys, rhesus,
green and many other of the larger
monkeys were in their outside quarters.

turned into the big cage; but | heard
it. Down through the woods to the
polar bears den, a good quarter of a
mile, came a most awful uproar, made
by many voices The bulk of it was a
medley of raucous yells and screeches,
above which it was easy to distinguish
the fierce, dog-like barks and roars of
the balloons.
We knew at once that Lopez had
arrived. Hurrying up to the primatcs'
house, we found the wire fronts of the
outside cages literally plastered with
monkeys and balloons, all in the widest
excitement. The jaguar was in full view
of them, and although not one out of
the whole lot, except the sapajous, ever
had even an ancestor that had seen
jaguar, they one and all recognized
hostile genus, and hereditary enemy.
And how they cursed him, and reviled
him, and made hideous faces at him!
The long earned yellow balloons barked
and roared until they were heard
half mile away The ugly-tempered
macaques and rhesus monkeys nearly
burst with hatred and Indignation. The
row was kept up for long time, and the
monkey language that was lost to science
on that occasion was, both in quantity
and quality, beyond compare.

Yet the majority of housewives are COM

The modern method is to have your yeast
sent every baking day, just as you want it.
1t comes direct from the factory-clean, pure
and fresh. A simple method of supplying
yeast in this manner has been worked out by
the Fulton Yeast Company OF Richmond, Va.
This is certainly a boon to every woman who
values the health and happiness of her family.
