THE TEMPLE OF FAME.

.sHow far away is the Temple of Fame?'ss-
Said youth at the dawn of day; .q,E
And he toiled and dreamed Of a deathless
name;
But the hours went by and the evening came,
That left him feeble. and old, and lame,
To plod on his cheerless way.
For the path to Fame is a weary climb
Up a mountain, steep and high. ~t-
There are many who start in their youthful
prime;
But in the battle with fate and time,
For one who reaches those heights sublime
Are thousands who fall and die.
The youth who had failed could never guess
The reason his quest was vain;
But he sought no other help or bless;
He followed the glittering prize, Success,
Up the narrow pathway Of Selfshness,
And this had been his bane. H-szs
How far away is the Temple of Good?''
Said youth at the dawn of day;
And he strove, In spirit Of brotherhood,
To help and succor, as best he could.
The poor and unfortunate
He likewise strove with adversely !.
To- climb to the heights above;
But his dream was ever of men made free,
OF better days in the time to be,
And self was buried In sympathy
He followed the path Of Love-
He was careless alike Of praise or blame;
But after his work was done
An angel Of glory from heaven came st
And wrote on high his immortal name,
Proclaimng this truth, that the Temple OF
Fame szE ss32,3 - i :.
And Temple Of Good are one. :
For this Is the lesson that history
Has taught since the world began:
That those whose memories never die
That shine like stars in our human sky
And brighter grow as the years roll by,
Are men who have lived for Man:

An interesting papyrus recently discovered

irdulging In the most frivolous pleasures, an |
that you spend good deal of your time in

and shun that insidious liquor
From other sources learn that students
IN the land of the pyramids enjoyed their
beer, and were quite as fond OF playing prac-

loved on festive nights to assault innocent
watchmen, and many a peaceful citizen have
they aroused from slumber by laundering on
the door of his house,
From the diary of an Egyptian lieutenant
who nourished about 1000 years ago we oD-
tain the interesting information that qua. i
of beer cost about cents, and there are
various entries in the book which allow us
to infer that the average Egyptian never
dreamed of quenching his thirst with less than

their own and for. which they got no
extra compensation from the road or
sleeping car company. There used to
be time when many cars were run
by .Porters-in-c charge" who perform
ed all the duties of both conductor
and porter True, under such cir
cumstances, a little advance was made
in the wages but nothing like il
should have been. When a change
was made and regular conductors
were placed on these cars and the por-
ters-in-charge were retained as por-
tiers, their wages were lowered and
the conductors were paid twice as
much wages as a porter-in-charg was
paid. Why this unjust discrimination
existed we are unable to state, unless
it was in view of the fact that the por-
tiers were Afro-Americans and the
conductors white, and that it was
thought not proper to pay an Afro
American the same wages a white
man receives for rendering even less
service. If the railroad companies
will pay their Afro-American en-
ployes as well as they do their white
ones there will be time enough to
make rules against receiving tips. The
man who has started this crusade in
all probability receives as much pay
for each days service as a porter re-
ceives for months work. It is true
that generally the tips more than ex-
coed the wages paid and but for this
fact the porters could not make a liv-
ing. It is shame that railroad Of
fetal should start a crusade against
tipping which was started because the
roads so poorly paid their Afro Ameri-
can employees that generous public,
out of sympathy, undertook to help
remedy the evil. Let the sleeping car
companies pay good wages to the por-
ters and walters and then we will
favor the stopping of tipping. ..

SATURDAY NOVEMBER, Is, 1899.

The general passenger agent of the
New York Central railroad has sarted
a movement tending toward the abo-
lition of the prevailing custom Of tip
ping railroad porters and dining car
walters. We are opposed to tipping
on general principles, but when serv-
ants are not paid living wages we APP
prove of the present custom of the
generous public of chipping in to help
out. We remember when Pullman
porters were paid but SIS per month
by the Pullman company for their
services when, if they ate three meals
per day it would cost s22.50 per month
to pay for them alone. How were
they expected to support their families
or pay other necessary expenses if
the travelling public did not pay for
the numerous personal services per-
formed for it? There are very few,
if any, porters who cannot perform
the duties of sleeping car conductor
and there are very few of them who
have not at some time been compelled
to perform such duties in addition to
