made up to look like. Ivan the Terri
Bile. 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 waiter arrived who in
some other incarnation must have
been 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 1
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 cigarette from
his case four eager walters would
dash forward with lighted matches

I 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 muffler off

/ However, as 1 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 a nice old lady in
cell No. 8 and kept her there, cut OH
from communication with the world
while he waited for Hep to dig in his
jeans for the customary quarter.
A hall-boy, paging a missing hus
band, stopped short as he saw ouI
party approaching, arranged his face
in imitation of a Spanish mackerel
saluted Hep and received ten cents fol
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 q
hoodah over the tame Cops feet and
when they both came smilingly to the
surface Battling Bill clutched a fifty
procession moved on.
Then from some dark recess Oh
niche in the wall something in brass
buttons and with a whisk broom il
it's 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 whisE
broom and the quarter darted away
again, thereby bringing to a conclu
sion the incident of the pickerel.
AS we approached tue coat TOOH
the girl in charge was seen to close
her eyes in prayer. She didn't oper
them again until after Hep had ex
planned to her that if she spent the
money he gave her for 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 il
was expensive and sighed deeply al
we passed on.
At the door of the soup room WI
were met by Effendl Bey, the heaC
waiter.
Hep whispered something to Ell
fendi but the Bey wasn't listening
He was looking at Helps hand which

and Hep, desiring to show no partial
ity, would slip a coin to each of the
Mexican guerrillas.
One shark of waiter swan
around in the offing 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 a dead
mans chest!"
Hep insisted upon taking us home
in 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
Big Town, going through the night
like a cyclone through the sub-treas-
ury, scattering pocket money right
and left like so much chair simply be-
cause they want to be looked upon
as High Class Sports.
And it's hard to follow their act
It's rough shedding for the Sensible
Lads who are willing to pay for serv-
ices rendered but balk at the myriad

1 was talking to Milf Patterson
about it. Milf invented machine for
removing sunburn from pickles and
made a fortune.
He has it yet, all except two cents
he paid for a postage stamp which
stuck to his pocketbook some nine
years ago. But he has the pocketbook
and he still can look at the stamp and
consider it an asset
Milf is such a stingy 1oosener he
looks at you with one eye so as not
to waste the other.
The boys call him Putty" because
he's the next thing to a pain.
If you ask him what time it is he
takes off four minutes as his commits
sion for telling you.
"Tippingi" said Milf; what do you
mean tipping?"
ITO give bit of coin to a waiter
or those who do you service"
explained.
"Oh!" said Milf; I've heard about
| it, but I don't do it. l don't know
any waiter well enough to give him
money to take home to his wife. She
might meet me afterwards and thank
me for it and my wife might hear
about it-that's risky work"
But you can't get good service IN

do bit of tipping. How do you man.

Maybe Hep is right, and maybe Milf

hands, whereupon Effendi Bey began
to hum, I'm 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 a 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 for
breath were pitiful.

GAY! 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 thoughtful man cushion-caroms
through the merry-go-round doors of a
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 a hotel employee does you a
little favor and you slip him tuppence
ha'penny or a pfennig he will smile
back at you and be much obliged for
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 Keep
callum, now, keep cool and callum!
The doctor says you will recover
everything except your watch if he
can find a 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 a 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 a waiter. q
He is what the laurajeans would
call a 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 a 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 fiat on their
faces and yell, "Hallelujah! payday
is here again."
Peaches and I 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 a French
cafe, grab a French menu card, and in
a confidential tone give an order like
this to the French waiter: "Avec lie
beaucoup pomme de terre. Donne2
moi de reau claude; je vais me raser
Avec get a move on you'll"
In a French hour and a half the
French waiter hurries back with a
culinary melOdrama wherein each
swallow is a thrill and every new

course a climax, and Hep, believing
it 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
ting a stone bruise on his palate from
holding back his Partisan laughter.
Hep would wrinkle his map with
anger if he heard me, but I've been
present when he has blurted out some
of his French idioms with the ossified
accent, and it's a scream, notify you!
On one memorable occasion he or
'dered lamb chops and a baked potato
in French. The waiter bowed, said,
I"Oui, M'sieu!" and brought him a
bowl of vegetable soup and the morn
ing paper.
That's how good that lads French is
poor nut.
AS a matter of fact Hep knows ex-
actly nine ordinary French words, in
lcluding incest pas and avec plaisir,

The plaintiffs charge that the Burley
Tobacco Company in handling, ware
housing and redrying tobacco belonging
to the 1909 pool, charged the growers ex-
cessive fees and that the profit of $780,
900 was by reason of, the excessive and
unfair charges.
Upon this we find that prior to the
organization of this Company and prior
to the organization of the Burnley To-
bacco Society tobacco growers were
compelled, under existing conditions,
to ship their tobacco to warehouses in
Louisville, Cincinnati and other large
central points far remote in most in
stances from the homes of the grow
ers. The tobacco was thus shipped in
hogsheads, the grower was required
to pay the freight, drayage, warehouse
fees, Insurance. inspection and a great
many other fees and costs. Upon the
organization of this Company it was
determined that the growers who pool
ed with this Company should be
charged a less fee for warehousing
than they had been charged under the
old system, and that this fee when
thus collected was to belong to the
growers themselves. that is, to their
company. and was to be applied in the
affairs of their company. All sums
thus collected by this company from
this source was for the benefit of the
growers who were poolers. 1t was, in
effect, as # the money was taken from
one pocket and put into the other, be-
cause If this sum had not been col
lected in this way, the expenses of our
organization would have had to have

1t Is charged at the time the factory
was purchased the annual output under
the former management was $500 900
pounds OF tobacco annually; that during
the first year the Company operated the
factory its output was 1000, 900 pounds;
during the second year 1900, 900 pounds.
1t is further charged that the sum of
$75, 900 has been recklessly and fraudu-
lently squandered in advertising the
brands of tobacco; and that tobacco of
the value of $50. 900 has been fraudulent
ly given away for the purpose of adver-
Using some of the brands.
1t is also charged that the Company is
carrying on it's books a lot of brands of
tobacco and good will as having a value
of 5000. 900; that these brands and good
will are imaginary assets and that the
book entries are fictitious and fraudulent.
We find the factorys output is
about 100000 pounds.
We do not find that there was any
part of the $4,000 used in advertising
fraudulently spent.
We find that $4,000 worth Of to
bacco was distributed for legitimate
advertising purposes, but there is alb
solutely no truth in the charge that il
was fraudulently given away.
We find that the sum of $500, 900 was
expended for certain brands and good
will, and that these are not imaginary
assets, and if this factory continues in
operation it is our judgment that these
brands and good will are proving 6
profitable investment.

been met by direct charges assessed
against the selling price of tobacco.
1t is to be noted that growers who
were not poolers with this Company
were charged fees in excess of that
complained of by vallandingham and
others in this suit, for which they got
no return benefit insofar as any re-
payment to them was concerned. We
find that the fees so charged were not
excessive, nor were they unfair.

1t is further charged that in the man
agement of the Strater Bros. factory the
Company has lost 100000 and that this
loss is steadily increasing.
This Committee has spent several
days going carefully into every phase
of the business of the Strater Bros
Factory and informed itself concerning
the nature and extent of that business
and the condition of the property We
have caused Mr.. c. w. Banta, of Louis
vile. KY, recognized as one of the
ablest and most reliable accountants
in this state, to prepare for us a re-
port showing the profit and loss ac-
count of the factory ever since its pur-
chase by the Burnley Tobacco Company
up to October 1, 1915. we file here
with as a part of this report the
Statement prepared by Mr.. Banta.
This Statement shows that the opera
ton of the factory has resulted in a
loss to the Company. but this loss has
been gradually decreasing until now
the operation OF the factory is show
ing an actual profit to the Company

shows net profit of s5.S44S4.

1t is further charged that the Com
pany paid 100000 for the Strater Bros.
factory plant and charged that the fair
market value of this property did not ex-
coed 100000, and that the property had
been offered for sale at that price short
ly before the Burley Tobacco Company
purchased it.
1t is also charged that the machinery
and equipment were old and Anticipated
and in bad shape and had little value;
that the Company continued to manufac-
ture the old brands of tobacco and crea-
ted and put on the market new brands;
and that the Company has wastefully
and corruptly expended large sums of
money in advertising said brands Of to-
bacco.
After investigating this charge we
find that the property was bought as
reasonably as it could have been, as
we have sworn evidence to prove that
other parties were willing to pay the
same price for it. We find the ma.
chinery in good condition and not at
all antiquated. In our judgment the
officers of the Company acted in good
faith in advertising the brands of to
bacco, and in no sense was there any
evidence of corruption.

In conclusion, this Committee de-
plores greatly the existence of any dis
sension or dissatisfaction among the
stockholders. We condemn the insti-
tuition of the present suit for a dissolu-
ton of the Company. The Wholesale
charges of fraud made in that suit, we
find are not borne out by the facts, and
wreckless Islander upon the officers OF
this Company. The Burley Tobacco
Company can perform valuable serv-
ice for the growers of Burley Tobacco
in Kentucky and elsewhere if the
stockholders and the growers gener-
ally will give to it their cordial sup
port and patronize the Company by
purchasing its brands of tobacco in
stead of buying the tobacco manufac-
tured by the companies formerly con-
nected with the Tobacco Trust. We
are satisfied that there Will be a great
future for this Company and within a
short time it will be possible to de-
clare a dividend on the stock. The
officers OF the Company should have
the loyal support of every stakeholder.
and we appeal to the stockholders to
do all they can towards discouraging
annoying and expensive suits against
the Company which have no founda-
