array of stewards, all lined up and
waiting to be tipped, is somewhat
alarming.
Travelling in Europe is another mat
ter fraught with endless expense
through this interminable system of
tipping. And yet one must conform
with the customs of every country.
in Rome, do as the Romans do
which, being interpreted into modern
parlance, means that if you don't tip
more or less profusely you're going to
suffer pretty badly in the long rum"
And so we must reach the interest
ing conclusion that, since the tipping
system is with us, and is likely to be
q fixed feature all over the world for
many and many a year to come, we
had better follow the prevailing GUS
tom, and tip wherever we go. For il
we act otherwise, we may rest assured
that things will not be made at all
comfortable for us anywhere, and we
will certainly miss all the attentions
and comforts that are necessary to us.
Moreover, we will be making the n
nancial burdens of our less fortunate
fellow creatures, who are largely de-
pendent on these gratuities, so much
the harder by our neglectfulness of

| One day Johnnie Quackles said to
his cousin, Mamie Quack: I'VE have
not sailed across the pond in a long
time, and this is such a pleasant day,
what do you say if we make an ex-
cqrsion?"
"All right; l win co." said Mamie.
Johnnie ran to the pond, where he
stood waiting foreher with one foot in
ready to swim away.
Where will we go, now we have
started?" asked Mamie.
I'VE will sail about the pond first
where the grove is. We may be able
to see Mrs. Squirrel, and you know
she is always nice to US, said Johnnie.
Sure enough, when they landed in
the grove, there sat Mrs. Squirrel on
rock just as if she had been expect
ing them.

Mamie; I'VE are on an excursion"
"An excursioon,' said Mrs. Squirrel.
THAT makes me think of story my
grandmother used to tell me-
"Oh, do tell us about it." said
Mamie. If there was one thing Mrs

Johnnie and Mamie thought, she told
the best stories.

Mrs. Squirrel.

To tip or not to tip, that is the ques-
ten. =
The muehsvexed question of tippin.
is on around which endless discussion
has always conferred, and yet no one
seems able to bring about a real rem
edy. The trend of public opinion il
that this constant demand for the Civ
ing of sratuities is an unnecessary
and altogether evil imposition, and one
from which there ought to be happy
escape. But NO escape offers itself.
For conditions are such that the tip
ping evil, like the poor, is always with
us, no matter to what particular cor
her OF the globe involves such an ex-
-raordinary amount of tipping that
were We to sit down in a calm moment
and figure the whole thing out, we
should probably be so appalled, at the
thought of that endless array of por-
ters, stewards, walters, chauffeurs,
guides, etc., lying ruthlessly in wait
for us that never should we get any
where at all.
The one solution which is most gen.
orally offered to the problem is that
there should be a definite establish
ment of a living wage, and this wage
in each case should be quite sufficient
to preclude resort to the giving of
gratuities. For not only does the Civ
ing of gratuities involve inconveni-
ence, but at the same time the re-
ciipents feel that there is loss of self
respect in the accepting of what, after
all, is sort of charity The idea that
tipping is just payment for services
rendered is quite fallacious. inasmueh
as the standard is often very much
higher than it should be-particularly
in fashionable hotels, resorts and 9th

RAILROAD STEALS
 MARCH ON HELENA
Refused Permission to Construct Spur, Crews Work at Night and
 Put in Switch Track.

Helena, Dec. 17.-Property owners whose business houses have egress on Mulberry alleys between Cherry and Ohio streets, awoke yesterday morn ing. to find that. railroad construc- tion crew had been busy during the night. A stretch of spur track 52 feet long had been constructed be- tween suns.
 Investigation disclosed the fact that about four years ago the city ot He- lena granted permission to the Yazoo 6 Mississippi Valley Railroad com pany to lay a spur track 152 feet long along Mulberry alley, provided that the track be completed within one year. One hundred feet of track was laid, but the time limit expired be- fore the remaining 52 feet was laid The railroad company had, therefore, it is alleged, forfeited it's rights.
 Later the. Helena Wholesale Gro- cery company erected building along Mulberry alley, only to find that it lacked 52 feet of having enough spur trackage. The city council, having 8 higher appreciation of the value of its streets and al- leys, would probably not permit the railroad company to lay additional trackage along the alley without a substantial consideration, so the railroad company sent it's construc- ton crew in the night and the requir- ed track was laid without interfer- ence. The track has not been mo- lestcds

In the letter to the express agent, the writer states that the shipment should have been sent to Pine Bluff, and asks the agent to have it conveyed here. The agent has mailed letter to Perry telling him that the whiskey has al- ready been conveyed to Pine Bluff. and that he may learn miore about it by applying to Sheriff R. H.

 For some reason, the memb;rs of thea s;heriff's department appear dis inclined tc$ believe that Perry" will call for the whiskey. As matter of fact, they seem oregret the inn probability of making the acquaint- ance of this particular "B. H. Perry" ,"
