In an EFFORT to discover whether the
waiter. barber and brusher really expect
ed such tips. whether they were really
harpies preying on their fellow man or
patrons for their livelihood, a searcher
after light visited numerous places, high
and low. and sought the truth.
The first place visited was thoroughly
typical restaurant of the second class. q
place where, II you order g. meal costing
more than fifty cents, the proprietor looks
at you askance and insists on the waiter
showing him your pocketbook before be-
ing served.
EXPECT it?' said the waiter. nav. We
don't expect no tips here. The guys that
come here as rule amt making the
money that we are. I'm gittin' 81 a week
a broke dub to give me his las nickel SOS
to show me that he's been used to livin'
at high places.
I'VE don't expect It here. tries to give
good service and If don't suit the man
I'm waitin' on he can register his kick to
the proprietor. I don't think that no
mans any better than / am. If guy
wants to slip me the coin then Of course
I'll take 1t same as you or anybody else
would. and call him a sucker for givin'
it to me. But don't expect it from them
that eats here. The guys here 10 too
broke
This was a cheerful and philosophical
view to take of the matter. The waiter
was evidently honest in his declaration
that he did not expect tip from the pa
irons of his place. AS he said. he was
: about on par with the poor impoverished
. creature who ate at hts restaurant and he
therefore felt bond Of good-fellowship
that precluded the requiring of tip for
his services. In other words. he would
wash his finger nail in your soup and
rinse his hands in your coffee without
charging you extra.
He Expected Tips.
Quite different from the view taken by
this philanthropic servant Of needy pub
lie was the attitude of a waiter in res
:. taurant of similar caste. saving only that
it was attached to a bar. Whether 1t was
the fact that his patrons were men who
drank or a natural grasping disposition

that the structure cost more than 5000

wasting OF tissues, as in the case
of little Miss Dillon, OF Albany.
Here is a letter from her father:
"My little girl had catarrh SO
badly that the disease had begun
to eat into the cartilage of the

according to directions. I want
to say right here that Mucu-Tone
