street man. "The other day | was
waiting with man on an u sta
ton to go downtown. He saw a
friend on the opposite platform and
called over to him to come across
and go down with him to his office
on matter of business. The man
said he would, and after asking the
ticket chopper to pass the word over
that his fare was paid he handed
out cigar to the chopper and came
over to our side. He was greeted
with laugh by the man who had
called to him and naturally asked
what it was for. Didn't you give
that ticket chopper a fifteen cent
cigar?' asked the friend. The man
admitted that he gave the kind he
usually smoked. WELL said the
other, why didn't you just come
across without saying anything
about it, pay your fare and save q
dime?' The man rubbed his chin
| and looked serious. He had become
so accustomed to tipping everybody
for any sort of favor that he never
