TIPPING IN FRANCE.
f One Dossnt Pay Up. Then Life Is
Made a Burden.

WAa0 6AFaSus
Why do we pay pourboires in
France? Simply because If we didn't
life wouldn't be worth living. Here
is what happens to the man who gives
no tip to the waiter: After a cognac
and eau-de-seltz he summoned the
garcOn and gave him the exact price
of his consummation. Then he rose
to go. but before he had time TO leave
the cafe the waiter tripped over a
stool and emptied on to the nOntipper's
handsome fur coat a glass OF sticky
sirup which he was carrying TO an
other customer. The clumsy waiter
begged a thousand pardons and i'm
mediately made things worse by seiz-
ing a greasy cloth and rubbing the
sirupy substance into the coat. Sup
pose a tenant does not tip his con-
cierge. What is the result? This-that
he or she brings up the letters at all
hours except when they arrive; that
callers are told you are not at home
when as a matter of fact you are
waiting for them. II you grease the
pOrteFs hand from time to time there
viii never be any difhculty In allow
ing the tradesman to go up to your
fat. But as soon as the tips are stop
ped a host OF Irritating regulations
you never heard Of will be enforced
to prevent the grocer's and the butch
er's boys taking up your orders, and
everything will be done to make your
life a burden.
Your servants may go out every
night in the week and all night. but
If they tip the concierge with your
own coal or wine you will never know
It. When it is not the concierge or
the servants that make your existence
unbearable it is the blanchisseuse, who
brings home collars that don't belong
TO you. somebody else's pajamas and
ragged edged handkerchiefs. But the
tip makes all these annoyances van

FEATHERED TYRANTS.

All the Fowls Of the Air Dread thO
Museieapa Birds.
Police work is the strangest OF the
work done in the world of birds. In
France and central Europe the musci-

telegraph wires. Black. with heads
decorated with orange 6llets. these
notable hycatchers are dreaded by
the brigands Of the air. Eagles. fal-
cons and all the feathered strong men
OF the ether shrink from an encounter
with this tyrant. When the tyrant
cannot find wires to perch on he
perches on "a pole. When stationed in
a prairie or a pasture he perches upon
the back OF an OK. He lives by hunt
ing insects and attacks all birds. even
the strongest. using beak and claws
in the unequal struggle. All the fowls
of the air fear the police bird, and
even the most active pillagers Of the
nests feign honesty when under the
sharp eye Of the Muscicapa tyrannus.
In winter the tyrant takes posses
sion of the warm shelters priced by
birds. In spring. when the young are
twittering in the nests. the tyrant
turns "thief" and sows terror among
friends and enemies alike. Even the
sparrOws banded 10 fall upon a field

and orange fillet of the policeman"
The tyrant holds his power by his
audacity. All animals yield to- the
influence of courage, a quality special

is small. but his attitude commands

State Teachers Association

Having been selected as attend
ance solicitor for this county to the
State Teachers Association at Little
Rock Dec. 27-8-9, take this means
to reach the teachers of Sharp
county.
Realizing that this is an oppor-
tunity that comes to us as teachers
but once a year, and also that so
few of us avail ourselves of this
splendid treat, | feel that something
needs to be done to arouse us to a
sense Of our duty.
This great meeting comes at a
time when we are at leisure and
opens to us an opportunity to i'm
prove our vocation and better our
position There we come in contact
with the men and women that have
given their lives to the great work
and who have really accomplished
something in their fields. This en-
ables us to get a broader view and
a more noble conception Of our field
of labor.
Why not put Sharp county up
toward the front? If your board
won't allow your salary, 90 ON your
own hook" and thus show them
that you are interested in your
work and not dependent upon them
absolutely, You will be repaid for
your sacrifice.
