Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 186, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 August 1910 — A Tip. [ARTICLE]

A Tip.

The person with the long hair and the flowing necktie sits at the table and reads and rereads a typewritten note. Finally he turns to the waiter who has brought his luncheon and says: “Can’t help feeling happy today, my man. Just got a note from an editor accepting the first poem I have ever sold.” “Yes, sir,” says the deferential waiter. “Makes a man feel joyful—more than joyful. I can’t describe the strange thrill of exultation that possesses me.” “Yes, sir? Something, 1 should presume to say, like a pusson feels when he gets his first tip.”
