a LAW AGAINST TIPPING.
Already wisconsin Has Statute on
Books Regarding Evil.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Tipping should be discouraged and dis
countenanced for the reason that Il Is a
species of petty graft Ger
tailly It IS contrary 70 public policy for
the State, through its Official servants,
10 give a status to tipping. That IS 70
strengthen the position Of a class who
are taking sdvsntage Of the necessities
Of individuals 10 levy on the public and
grow rich with the proceeds OF extra
compensation for services for which they
are or should be otherwise fully paid.
Instead Of fostering the tipping evil.
the state should do everything possible
10 put il under a ban. There IS already
law on the statute books Of Wisconsin
which looks askance AT tipping. Il is
Chapter CXXIX OF the Laws OF IS6-'An

penalties for any agent, employs or ser

tuities Of accepting such gratuity with
an understanding that ne shall act in any
particular manner in relation 20 his prin-
cipals. employers or masters business"
The object OF this statute. whose ex-
istence. however. does not seem 10 be
generally known. IS obviously the pro-
lection OF the employer, not Of the Gus

Polly, Put the Kettle On.

We respectfully but firmly Insist that
It was Polly. and not Molly. OF Johnny.
OF Jerusha. or yet Jenny. who put the
kettle on. certain esteemed contem-
poraries 10 the contrary Notwithstanding.
OF all the various disputants incident
to this debate. the Charleston News and
Courier alone has caught a glimmer OF
the truth, though il most obstreperousIy
seeks 10 muddy the waters by rendering
an unheard Of exhibit in respect Of
Jerusha.
Let Us see where We stand: The Char
lotte Observer says the old song declares
that Johnny put the kettle on; the Mont
gomery Advertiser says It was Molly;
we insist it was Polly; the Spartanburg
Herald ayers It was Jenny. and the
Charleston News and Courier thinks IL
c!aehes the matter By submitting the
following 10 prove 1t was Jerrsha:

Unquestionabfy, somebody has furnished
the Charleston paper with e near-ver-
sion OF the song as II really should run.
AS It appears, It Is few lines shy, and
il most certainly substitutes for Polly,
who really put the kettle or, one Jerusha,
an alleged party 20 the performance here
tofore unknown and undreamed OF.
We think. however. We shall have small
difficulty in convincing the older and wiser
heads that It was Polly who put the ket-
tie on. Il we can intelHgentIy refresh their
memories. Taking the last two stanzas
as supplied by the Charleston paper. re-
arranging them as they should 30. we
submit as the true version this:
