New York Sunday papers b ing from Z

ing to the capri"e of the seller At most
of the Atlantic City hotels the price for
the Sunday Tapers is 10 cents. and the
same price prevails as to many of the
New YORK papers railroad trains

In many hotels staple articles are fur

binary price. There Is a certain mineral

tie tipping now common i'll the United
States is exasperating. 1t makes one
think Of the American from the middle

rope. He had had TO pay tips every
where, and had seen hungry eyes and
greedy hands on every side. At last, one
day. he entered a Mushroom where the
bowl was hung on a pivot Above the
water was the sign, Please tip the basin"
As he looked he flushed. and then turned
and went out. saying:

That is the way one gets TO feel in trav-

The custom OF giving tips is common
that our Treasury Department has at last
agreed TO allow fees III the accounts of
government clerks who travel on Govern

restricted 10 each EN- oye in the amount
