DEPEW ON TIPPING EVIL. "Tipping gets worse and worse on tUp other side,” said Senator Depew in a recent interview. ——— “A New Mexican told me that at the Savoy in London he went to bave a wash before luncheon, but saw a placard on a mirror saying: “ ‘Please tip the basin after using.’ “This-made the man so angry that he rushed from the washroom muttering: ‘“No! I’ll go dirty first.’ “The New Mexican added that, after he got his lunch, he tipped the waiter. the waiter’s two helpers, the man who gave him his hat and gloves and the man who whistled fonfc taxi. The vehicle rolled out into the Strand, and our friend leaned back with a slfeh of relief, when he was aware of a boy in buttons running along beside the window. “*!frell, what do you want? said the New Mexican, savagely. “‘A few coppers, sir—accordin’ to the usual custom, sir,’ the boy panted. “ ‘Why, what did you do ?’ snarled the New Mexican. “ ‘l* you please, sir,’ said the boy, ‘I saw you get into the cab.’ ”
