always clamp the hobnail heel on friend
Salesman's tender adams apple when
ever he wigglss up with nickel that he
has squandercd in tips.
1t has got so now, that ~ Salesman
cannot even get on the spuor of a
Hotel without somebody expecting a
Tip. And when he once gets inside the
place they've got him handing out more
coin that n philanthroplst at news

For the slightest service friend Sales
man has to dig up II bcllhoy helps
him on with his little imitation Chin
chilla it costs ten cents. with five cents
extra for reaching up under and pull
ing down the underCoat where II
doesn't belong. \ few assists like that,
and comrade Salesman might as well
give the hoy the overcoat and be done
with the expense Of its upkecp.
Some times these services are so tri-
fling that you wouldn't know YOU had
been the beneficiary IL the bcnefactor
didn't keep hanging around you with a
portcntous CLEAN in his eye.
\ Salesman of our acquaintance.
whose father became a gallant Union

beats the Tipping Game so far as the
Dining Room brIgandage is concerned.
At the end of each meal. just when
the last mouthful of pie Is tobogganing
its way down the Grand Gorge, he sends
the waiter out for a glass OF milk

tice at the Foreign Game he tried to
track off from a Hotel in Rome without
divvying according to Rules and Reg
ulations passed by the Senate. Prof
thought he could save the hundred dol

five-cent cigar with It,
Everything went all right until Prof
reached the front door T the Hotel
Among those present at the front dooi
were: His Whskers The Manager. the
Room Clerk. the Cashier. the Head

Whenever YOU see that long hungry
lineup in front of foreign Hotel door
you know there Is about to emerge
some poor hunted down dub who thinks
he can get out OF the Works without
oiling the machinery.
Another way TO shorten sail on this
Tipping thing is to give the BELL Boys

YOU happen to have--not counting, OF
course, the suit and necktie you have
on your back, and on your neck. respec-

state of preservation, including the
vests. you will get the same attention
as If YOU gave the boy dime In cash.
And now we are going to give you
little round tip, thoroughly reliable
and containing no benzoate of soda, on
how tc beat the Tipping Game. the Ho-
tel Game and the Railroad Game all in
one sme! foop. All you've got to do Is
to get OFF the Road and live in "A nice
it'll" cottage somewhere off in the
pushes OF oblivion, where the chickens
mouit the year around, ana the cows
come home tc roOst at sunrise.
