EAST CANON
NEWS NOTES

East Canon as well as Lincoln Park
seems to be in the hands OF the
"Philistines, Chicken thieves); one
home in this vicinity was relieved of
thirty-two fine chickens one night this
week: another home of three. The
marauders at the last place wers
frightened away by the family dog.
Still another family lost several chick
ems through the same animal, probab-
ly. a weasel, as the bodies were
left. The weasel can be forgiven for
obeying the call Of nature to satisfy
hunger. but the man who seeks his
own at the expense of another's well
fare, should be punished severely.
People are not in the chicken busi-
ness for amusement. 1t represents
hard-earned money to the rancher

| but he has memorized the name OF
every street in Paris
So when Hep exhausts his nine or
binary words he begins to use up the
streets. He rushes, regardless of speed
limits, all over the city of Paris. Out
| to Vanguard, over to the Batignolles,
| to Clichy, by rues and side streets
to the eastern Boulevard Beaumar-
chais and st. Denis, then across lots to
| the western Boulevard des Italiens,
! then into the high and off through the
Place de la Concorde, around corners
on one wheel into the Champs Elysees
and on and on with the muller Off

However, as ] was saying some time
ago, Peaches and dined with Hep and
he handed us few lessons in the gen
tie pastime Of tipping, he surely did,
| From the very moment we entered
| the aristocratic beanery he began the
giving of aims.
The attendant at the revolving
doors imprisoned nice old lady in
cell No. and kept her there, cut off
from communication with the world,
while he waited for Hep to dig in his
jeans for the customary quarter.
A hall-boy, paging missing hus-
band, stopped short as he saw our
party approaching, arranged his face
| in imitation of a Spanish mackerel,
saluted Hep and received ten cents for
his trouble.
Battling Bill, the house detective,
doomed bulkily in our pathway and
without warning suddenly stopped
down to pick up a pin. Hep did a
hoodah over the tame Cops feet and
when they both came smilingIy to the
surface Battling Bill clutched fifty
cent piece in his Westphalia and the
procession moved on.
Then from some dark recess or
niche in the wall something in brass
buttons and with whisk broom in
its hand darted out like a pickerel
and pointed the whisk broom at Hep.
| The latter pointed a quarter at the
| something in brass buttons, where
upon the brass buttons and the whisk
broom and the quarter darted away
again, thereby bringing to a conclu-
sion the incident of the pickerel.
AS we approached the coat room
the girl in charge was seen to close
her eyes in prayer. She didn't open
them again until after Hep had ex-
planned to her that if she spent the
money he gave her for a new hat she
wouldn't have to give it to the in
come-tax gatherers. Whereupon she
was glad and showed her gum chew
ing instruments. Then she glanced
at the inside of my hat to see if it
was expensive and sighed deeply as
we passed on.
At the door of the soup room we
were met by Effend1 Bey, the head
waiter.
Hep whispered something to Eff
fendi but the Bey wasn't listening.
He was looking at Helps hand which
he knew must contain money. 1t al
ways did. Hep gave Effendi a flash
at Treasury note. With the swift
ness of thought the money changed

to hum, In my harem-my dinky
little harem!" and turned us over to
Murad Pasha, one of his lieutenants.
. Murad Pasha led US to table and
stood there counting the spoons
until Hep could find another pocket
containing money.
Then Murad Pasha, clutching his
share of the plumber. with many bows
and obeisances, faded out of our lives
and Giovanni Handsandfetsi, the ON
nibus. began to splash water into our
glasses.
Hep got rid of Giovanni by stalking
him to enough money to enable his
little brother Angelo to get through
college, and thereafter for period of
ten or fifteen minutes Hep was per
mitted to breathe quietly through his
nose, and his pocketbook enjoyed a
much needed rest
Soon. however, another coughing
fit came on and his struggles Tor

1t is all due to his knowledge of the
French language. swells up with pride
and begins to toss money into the air.
Hep doesn't know it, but while he's
splitting that Schenectady French all
over the tablecloth the waiter is get

ChocoIate Soldiers.

The soldiers weakness for sweet
meats, to which Mr.. Bernard Shaw
called attention when he wrote 1.-THE
Chocolate Soldier" has been abund-
antly confirmed during the present
war. The quantity Of sweets con-
sumed by our army in France has
been prodigious, while from Cairo
comes the news that the Australians
have absolutely eaten the place out
of chocolate. On the troopships
which brought them, too, it was the
same. Thus Capt. Bean, the official
correspondent with the force, writes:
"Our canteen had five times the de-
mand for sweets and soft drinks that
was expected and one-ffth the demand
for beer" w Westminster Gazette.

OAY! did you ever make up your
mind not to do any more tip
- ping? And have you noticed how
quickly you're forced to take the make
up off?
In a Big Town nowadays tipping
is as necessary as a traffic cop. Only
by the aid of one or both can you
make any progress or get anywhere.
And the battle cry in each case is
Hands up!"
It's so in this country today that be
fore a thoughtful man cushion-caroms
through the merry-go-round doors of
swell hotel he has to leave his pocket
book on the sidewalk if he doesn't
want to lose it.
On the other side, across the Big
Pond, if hotel employee does you q
little favor and you slip him tuppence
Iha'penny or a pfennig he will smile
back at you and be much obliged fol
five minutes.
But in this country If you tip any
body with a couple of pennies the
chances are you'll wake up in the
nearest hospital and find kind-heart
ed but not very pictorial nurse lean
ing over you and whispering "KeeI
callum, now, keep cool and callum!
The doctor says you will recover
everything except your watch if he
can find small piece Of the medulla
oblongata which was removed from the
northeastern part of your bean when
the bell-boy soaked you with the ice
pitcher!
1t takes brave man to save his
money these days.
Hep Hardy is one of those reckless
tip-tossers. He thinks that all silver
money should have a smooth surface
thereby making it easier to slip ccin
to waiter.
He is what the laurajeans would
call pepper box of prodigality.
Hep hands out backsheesh like an
absent-minded farmer sowing grain.
Helps trail through a Big Town
looks as though the cashier of five
and ten cent store was walking to the
bank and had hole in the canvas
bag.
When Hep starts out to pound a
public road with his rowdy-cart all the
walters in every hash-foundry within
sound of his siren fall fat on their
faces and yell, "Hallelujah! payday
is here again!"
Peaches and / dined with Hep at
the Saint Astorvilt Hotel night before
last. Hep likes to dine there because
the walters are French and when he
tries to say Good EVENING"" in their
native tongue he insults them so bit
terly he has to sprinkle the room with
tip-money in order to square himself.
Hep loves to squeeze into French
cafe, grab French menu card, and in
a confidential tone give an order like
this to the French waiter: "Avec lie
beaucoup pomme de terre. Donnez
moi de Peau claude; je vais me raser.
Avec get a move on you!"
In a French hour and half the
French waiter hurries back with a
culinary melodrama wherein each
swallow is a thrill and every new

One of Effendi Bey's lieutenants,
made up to look like Ivan the Terri
bic, rode up to our table to inquire If
waiter had taken our order. Hep
told him no, but Ivan couldn't believe
it. Ivan was firm in his disbelief I'M
til Hep gave him money, then he saw
the light and went joyously away from
there.
Presently a waiter arrived who in
some other incarnation must have
been a pirate on the Spanish Main.
He had a chin which was divided
against itself, and forehead which
was retreating hurriedly on the fourth
speed.
One look at Captain Kidd and
knew that Helps desire to die poor
but popular would be realized.
All the time the Captain was taking
our order he was sizing us up and
hoping in Portuguese that Helps eye
sight wasn't good SO he could short
change him.
Finally the deadly Rover Of the Seas
decided to give us our food first and
make us walk the plank afterwards.
Then he bore away, SOU by sou'east,
for the kitchen where he dropped an
Choir and sharpened his boarding
irons.
In the meantime, while we awaited
the return of the Pirate King, our
friend Hep was busy tipping.
Every time he took a cigarette from
his case four eager walters would
dash forward with lighted matches

and Hep, desiring to show no partial
ity, would slip coin to each of the
Mexican guerrillas.
One shark of waiter swan
around in the of1ing and every time
Helps serviette dropped from his knees
to the floor the shark would retrieve
it and as he came to the surface with
the serviette in his teeth Hep would
pat his head and reward him cheer
fully.
1t was one continuous orgie of tip
ping until finally we left the Prunes
Palace with Captain Kidd gloating
over the pieces of eight which Hep
had given him and singing to himself,
ooh, ho-a bottle of rum on dead
mans chest!"
Hep insisted upon taking us home
in a taxi SO that he could tip the
starter and the chauffeur
We stopped in the drug store at
our home corner to mail some letters
and even there Hep found a weighing
machine and tipped the scales.
There are ginks like Hep in every
