Not as Bad as Fighting.

A veteran of the war, who was not
particularly remarkable for his bravery
in the ranks, but who, nexertheless. is
in receipt of a comfortable pension. was
relating his experience as soldier.
"Were you ever taken prisoner?" he
was asked.
Il guess was," he replied, emphat-
ically Il was prisoner of war for
eight months, and slept on the ground
in the open air all the time. Some
days would get something to eat, and
some days I wouldn't. Inearly starved

Reduces His Independence.

In estimating the rates of wages, the
prevailing habit of paying gratuities,
known as trinkgeld Drink money-in
France, pourboire) should be consid-
cred. This vicious custom, which let
US deyoutly hope may meyer take root
in this country, bears the stamp of the
ancient feudal system, which made the
employer a master and the employed a
serf, and is one of the most degrading
and demoralizing influences which af-
feet German labor. Not because the
drink money is actually spent for
drink, or otherwise squandered, al
though the laborer is naturally prone
to be more prodigal OF that which he
receives Us gift than he is of mis- regu-
lar pay, but the practice Of making
part of his compensation favor to be
conferred at discretion reduces his in
dependence and manhood, and converts
his honorable toll into a sort of licensed
beggary. ALFRED L. Lee, IN the Cur
