"Ticpina" In Europe.

According. to immelnorial usage. Eu-
ropean servants are entitled to tips as
an Assured part of their income. At
the hotels the theory is that the land
lord furnishes a guest a private room
and the use of the public rooms, heat
and light. food and dishes, but not
mental service. For convenience he
keeps at hand a corps of servants who
will respond to the guests summons,
but at his expense. In old times trav-
eiers We're attended by their own serv-
ants to wait on them. The modern
custom echoes the ancient. The tray-
eler no longer carries with him a ret
inue of servants. because he can hire
temporarily those of he landlord. The
customary fees are the payment. To
avoid fleeing is really to cheat the serv-
ants, who need all they a get, heuv-
en- knows. A chambermaid at the best
hotels receives as wages only about 81
a month. Tipping servants in America
Is a regrettable imitation of the Euro
pean custom without its resting on the
reasonable basis OF the foreign institu-
tions.-Travel Magazine.

Senator Tillman sees more with his

his misfortune. Not long ago he clap
ped his hands for a page from the

responded.

The page ran on the errand, on his

where Senator Clay sat. Then he ask

X Was Too Much.

Brigadier General Andrew S. Burt Of
the United States army is an enthusi-
astic sportsman, says the Detroit Free
Press. His hobby is baseball. Prior to
1898. when he became Il brigadier, he
was the commanding officer of a negro
regiment Of regular infantry. Each
company had its ball team, and the
colonel was an enthusiastic rooter at
the games.
One day q contest was on which was
married by the poor playing of q mem
Der Of n of the company teams.
Burt, disguised, volunteered to take
the place of the incompetent. No one
objected. AT the bat the colonel was
given a base on balls. He noted that
the men on the coaching lines kept
silent while he was on the bases, and
after he had made the circuit be re-
monstrated.
See here" he exclaimed, slipping
out Of his coat, I've taken of my
shoulder straps now, and you fellows
want to treat me Just as If l was a
prtvate!"
Again Burt was at the bat. He hit
the ball and started for first.
Run, you gimpy legged, sawed off
mud turtle! Run, run, run, run!' howl
ed one Of the coachers.
Burt reached first safely, turned and
regarded the coacher for an instant,
then left the base, walked over to
where his discarded blouse lay and put
1t on. He said nothinp hut tho neproas
understood. 1t was too much.

One afternoon. says the author Of 1.-The

her, but the teacher dismissed it with
the request that it should return at

still unlearned. The carriage came
again and was dismissed. At the end
of the second half hour the lesson was
committed, and Miss Nellie was per-

usual hour the young lady arrived, &C.

belonged to lawyer down in Boston

What rent do you pay?' asked the
amused owner.
