FEFTNG THE WAITER.
fastidious young men like it to smoke
10 their brisr pipes. They enjoy it
much more because it has the London
brand on it, though IL is not really so
good in nv own estimation as 10 Is right
from Kentucky and before it has been
favored with various drugs, paints, oils
and varnishes.
The American cut plug tobacco, when
proDerly cured and before Is has been
doctored, is the best and least injurious
tobacco for smoking OF which l know
Paducah has been conservative, as the
south generally has since the war, aud
for that reason the panic Of the past
year hiss had less chances to nip inta-
ted business than would have been the
case.
Very beautiful hard wood OF all kinds
is grown in the vicinity OF Paducah,
and every year here where these four
big rivers come together vast quaint
ties OF useful and ornamental woods are
prepared for the market. Three and
half millions OF spindles and oobbins for
the factories of England are turned out
each year.
The first hotel ever built ia Padueah
was built Of logs, aud the guests washed
their faces In the kitchen, using soft
SOAP and wiped their features dry on q
communistic towel. The odor OF fried
sYrK-dwelt most OF the time amid the
rafters OF the roof, aud the man who
asked for 8 finger bowl got shot.
This hotel was erected In 1881 re-
yardiess OF cost. the ground alone on
Whice lt stood. costing over s12. As II
beran 20 pu5 90 mOrs airs ia 1882, the
Indians we're not allowed 10 eat az the
first table unless they came from Vir-
ginia.
For breakfast, the menu was tea or
eggs. Lunch consisted OF bear meat
and rhubarb pie. Fresh rhuOarb was
sent ia each week by q Louisville

Now beautiful hotel run by Colonel
Reed is one OF the ornaments Of Pa
iucah. Colonel Reed is leading spirit
N the city's onward march, having
been mayor several times, with his pOr-
trait 10 an annual ''writs up" OF the
city. lie not only made Us happy, but
introduced US IN Paducah society with
out hesitation.
This shows that the old spirit Of chiv-
airy is not dead in Kentucky, even
though Colonel Breckenridge has retir-
cd after being betrayed, having left the
honor Of Kentucky In other hands.
Any young woman who sodght the
overthrow OF Colonel Reed would find
him ever standing uD for the right.
Rather shan 90 down forever with the
silver tongued orator to life OF shame
he would get OUT OF the carriage and
walk home through the mud.
Paducah has good schools, good news
papers, good streets and good car
service. Occasionally one sees few
berkshire hogs strolling down the
street. but they do not bite unless pro-
yoked, and human life Is as safe in Pa
ducoh to-day as it is In the hands OF the
New York police.
Coming oOt OF Paducah we passed
through a small town where We threw
off a mailsack aud caught another one
without stopping. 1t was asmsll town,
consisting Of a set Of scales and Mug
wump hog. There was also little store
containing two clay pipes and stick
OF candy. Over shis was the sign Ward

OF the firm, or where does ne come in?

that was taken from good man last

We stopped al very nice hotel yes
terday called the Rudd House. On the
bottom OF the menu were these words:
"Do not fee the waiter. We pay them
enough 70 ensure good service, and
guests will confer . favor by giving
them nothing more, IS it interiors;
With the service"
Ii would be fine thing If all hotels
would indorse this. In many places now
8 decent attendance is only obtained by
tipping the waiter AID IL is thoroughly
un-American in every respect. May
we not hope that some day every man
who runs hotel or other business will
make such arrangements with his help
that we need not while travelling here
DO an the time feeling for quarter 10
give an underpaid employee?
OF course in this matter poor Mr..
Pullman is not considered. He would
nav his porters if able TO do so, but
