TIPS

Tipping is a habit, a neces-
sity and damnable outrage
; engendered by a germ. The
germ is employed by hotels,
mostly; and is known by vari-
GUS names such as bellboy, hat
checker, waiter, etc.
This germ is bred and rear
ed in uniform. 1t attacks all
ages and conditions of men
alike. 1t feeds on small change;
and its appetite is constantly
improving.
Tipping is an example of
something for nothing. You
give the tip germ something.
He gives you nothing And if
you don't give him something,
next time you go there he gives
you less than he gave you in
the first place.
The tip germ is everywhere
and in everything, particular
ly in hotel. There is only one
thing aroung a hotel you
mustn't tip. That's your soup
plate. 1t ism t polite to do that.

He had written several volumes
OF poetry before he "awoke to ind
himself famous" after the pubIica-
ton OF the first part Of his famous
poem, "Childe Harold" No poet
ever sprang into fame more rapidly,
all London. social and artistic, was
at his feet.
He was eccentric to7a degree. At
one time he affected the Turkish
dress. But some of his afectations
had q good reason behind them.
For a long time he dined on moth
ing but potatoes and vinegar. But
the real reason for this was that
he was trying to avoid becoming
as stout as his mother. who was 50
enormous as to excite laughter.
His lameness prevented him from
taking much exercise. but he was
very strong and well developed. He
frequently played cricket. some
other man running for him.
Next to his devotion to literature
came his devotion to the cause OF
