clothes ruined and the trip was finally
cut short in despair. Complaints
without number were lodged with pro-
prietors, but in every instance the
guilty servants were prepared with
such admirable excuses that it was
impossible to fasten upon them any
dereliction of duty.
There is no doubt that the custom
of tipping in this country, has be-
come firmly established. The evil OF
it is it's indiscriminate character and
the fact that in 80 cases out OF 100
the gratuity is out of all proportion
to the service rendered. The wise Eu-
ropean regulates his tips by the char
acter of the service and the size OF his
bill. The curse of the custom in this
country is that the foolish or newly
rich American has established and IS
establishing such reckless disregard
of money distributed in this way that
the great mass of the people are COM
PEELED to do likewise or be regarded as
misery.
In the case of the Pullman employees
this has not reached the ridiculous ex-
tert that it has with walters in large
hotels and fashionable restaurants. A
Pullman porter who provides you with
a pillow for your head, carries re-
freshment from the buffet-car, shines
your shoes in the morning and other
wise ministers to the comfort of the
traveller, is worthy of tip in proper
ton to his service. But if the Pullman
company were more liberal with its
employees, paid them better salaries,
ty bestowed was a tax, which it is in
the light of the enormous profits OF
that corpOratiOn.-Phila Press.

Justice Not Wanted.

A Nashville lawyer once had a client
noted for his INSCRIPTIONS business
methods. The client lived In a small
town and bought and sold country
produce. If the price of potatoes went
up after he had contracted to purchase
the crop he would refuse to take them
at the market price. If the price went
down. however. he was surer than
death or taxes to claim them ut the
prevailing market figure. Naturally
this policy got him into frequent and
bitter litigation.
On one occasion he had become in
volved in case based on deal In po-
tatoes. The man who owned the pota.
toes brought suit, and the case was
taken before local justice. The law
yer conducted the defense along purely
technical lines, and the case was taken
under Amusement by the justice.
The client was called away on bust

had rendered his decision. so when
the latter brought In verdict adverse
