HARRY LAUDER.
Harry Lauder, the great Scotch comedian, who is visiting Australia next year, is (says the Australasian) well known as a canny man, and many are his shifts and devices for avoiding unfair exactions of tip-loving servants. The sleeping car attendants on the American railways are the comedian’s particular bane, and in his own Scotch fashion he has succeeded in defeating the ends of these pestiferous gentry. When Harry Lauder goes a travelling in America he does not carry one pair of shoes, but several, and when going to bed at night, not only puts a pair of shoes under his own berth, but distributes the others under the berths of his neighbours. In this wise the ingenious Lauder gets tbe sleeping car man to polish all of his footwear for the price of one tip.
