Tried Being Good Fellows.

From tie New York Telegram.
When the Russian Imperial Balalaika
Orchestra arrived in New York recently
the three men in charge began imme-
diately to try 10 conform to the Ameri-
can ways of doing things. They were
good fellows and wanted to remain so
while here. First they made an effort
to find out about the tipping custom.
what was the usual tip given walters
in this country. The theatrical man.
being somewhat of practical joker, told
them it was the custom to pass out
paper dollars. Therefore the three pro-
cured buQch of paper dollars each
and began giving them away. 1t wasn't
long till the help at several of the big
hotels and cafes began TO watch for
those foreigners. When one of them ap-
peared he was fairly smothered with
attention. This went on for about three
days and then one of the New York
men interested in the orchestra's engage
ment saw what the three were doing.
He told the interpreter that dollar
tip was entirely too much.
"A dime will do usually he said.
This he told the three while they were
being groOmed by about half dozen
boys in big hotel. The tips Immediate
ly dropped to ten cents.
And now this New Yorker who set the
foreigners right is exceedingly unpopu-
lar with the help in some of the hos
telries and dining places.

| those who came from the country print
ing office were masters of the typo
graphical art. but they were certainly re-
sCurceful. Their necessities required

education of a great majority of these
printers consisted entirely of what they

The old-time printer is thing of the

methods have practically put him out OF
business. Like every one of the trades,
great advancement has been made in ma
chinery and in the higher development of
the art. 1t is my opinion that there is
not one of the old type living who does
not periodically have an itching to re-
turn to the case"
