The abstraction of a horse and wagon, or a team and truck, from the owner appears to be about the easiest thing in the town’s activi- ties. The thief has no toil at all. He merely gets into the driver's seat while the driver is absent, gives the horse a clip of the whip or a cluck of the tongue, and the intelligent and active animal procecds to take himself and vehicle out of sight forever. ‘Texas, with all its stray ponies, hardly loses as many dollars’ worth of horseflesh in a month as we do in a week, In some dis- tricts of the city the activities of the thieves are greater than in others, but hardly any district is overlooked whol The rustlers are as impartial as can be expected of men not specially pledged to + impartiality. Disconsolate owners wish a strict police guard stationed , at every bridge and ferry to prevent the stolen horses being taken from Manhattan. They think they would not be so sad, nor feel the Joes 80 keenly, if they knew that the horses, though lost to them, were still on the island PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORT. HATEVER criticiam or complaint may be made against this or that minor feature of the service of the Public Library, the facts set forth in the annual report of its past working and its present promise amply attest that it is one of the most vital) ferces of our municipal life. Its energies radiate everywhere and serve industries and utilities ax well as for culture and ideals. The) central building itself received during the past year over 2,000,000 readers and visitors, more than 1,000 people registered daily in the reading room of the central and the branch libraries, and there were circulated nearly 8,000,000 volumes among home readers. That only 4% per cent. of the readers called for fiction is inter- esting, but probably the demand for that kind of reading has been * Jessened at the libraries not so much by an increasing seriousness | among the people as by the large amount of cheap fletion available in| magazines, Sunday papers and department stores, A like statement that the largest total circulation of books is in the heart of the east side is perhaps explainable by the fact that in richer parte of the city a large number of people buy books or are served from subscription “Ybraries. But the further statement that-there has been a heavy and steadfast demand for books dealing with economics and Socialism can hardly be attributed to anything else than an increasing popular) interest in these problems. do they appeal to the idle. something. Such works as a rule are not cheap, nor THe that reads them is searching for te THE BRESLIN TIP SOLUTION. OLUTION offered by the management of the Breslin for the | problem of dining room tips sounds well, and appears to hay worked satisfactorily for a week. ‘lhe plan is simplicity itself a The patron pays 90 per cent. of the bill as presented, The remaining 10 per cent. he may pocket may give to the waiter. ordinarily it will pass to the waiter, Virtually the plan substitutes a commission paid to the waiter by the hotel instead of a tip given by the patron, but it carefully conserves the form of the latter and leaves the patron free to refuse it if the service has been unsatisfactory, if a general adoption of the plan be not followed by such an increase in the price of various dishes as to make the tipless dinner more of a burden than the evil it was designed to eure, the results are likely to prove popular for a time, ‘There is, however, a certa human nature that supports tipping. No sane man expects to get something for nothing. If he wishes his waiter to give him a litde Detter service than is given to the general, he will pay for it in a tip above what the publie pays. He that does not expect that sy service or is not willing to pay for it gets little or no service, waiter sees to that. Of cours ial The ‘The new plan, however, is worth a fair trial, Tt has more possi- Dilities than the sceptical are likely to concede, Waiters themselves may » it effective by the ¢ ma clopment of a class consciousness that it is better to give good general service for a commission than a} sneaking special one for tips. eae | BAD CITIZENSHIP AND BAD BUSINESS.
