Unusual interest attaches to the
Thanksgiving (November) number OF

Archer, who has shown deep interest
in American subjects, nice appreciation
of American character and pocuiari-
ties, amiaple criticism of our foibles
and grasp of his subject at once
pleasing and convincing, in November
begins series of articles, which will
be read with deep interest, for, under

THEY FAVOR LEGISLATION.

Il was in the British West ladies n
few weeks ago" said a San Franciscan
recently, and | found everywhere u
most earnest sentiment in favor OF
federation with Canada. All the peo-
Pile | conversed with were unanimous
in their desire to become attached to
the dominion politically. They argued
that such n union was necessary from
u standpoint of eXpediencey; that
Canada would take burdens from them
and help them to increase the4r trade.
The singular part of It to me was the
additional statement that II this an
nexatlon did not come around pretty
soon the British West Indies would
naturally drop into the outstretched
arms OF the United States, tried to
make it clear that we were not going
into the island grabbing business
wholesale, but from the increduous
looks of those who listened saw that
my statement was not given much
weight"

New Orleans, La. Dec. 28.-The Goth
anniversary of the raising of the Amer
lean flag in this city is one of special
interest this year, for the entire west is
preparing for monster celebration of
the coming centennial of the Louisiana
purchase. Governor Stephens of Mis-
souri, has addressed the governors of
all the states formed out of the Louis
lana purchase, asking them to name
delegates to convention in st. Louis
Jan. 10 for the purpose of formulating
request to congress to sanction cell
ebration on national scale. The flag
which was raised in New Orleans IS
years ago last Wednesday had II stars
and II stripes, one for each of the
states then In the union. 1t was not
until 1912 that the flag Of 10 stripes
was declared the national emblem.

The Louisiana purchase was the
work of two famous men, Robert Liv-
in.sston, who represented us at Paris,
and Charles Pinckney, who worked for
the purchase ut Madrid. The price
paid for this vast territory, extending
from the Mississippi river to the Rocky
mountains and from the gulf of Mex
leo to British America, was SIS 900,
and was sorely needed by Napoleon.
The story of the exploration and con-
quest of this vast territory of Louis
lana is one of the most picturesque
and fascinating chapters in the worlds
history. Three nations-Spain, France
and England-had a share in it, Spain

and others that the government does
not propose to encourage the practice.
A rukng on the subject has been pro-
mulgated by the treasury department
through Acting Secretary Spalding.
In this 1t is held that tips cannot be
considered legitimate charges of ex-
pense against the government.
The last ten years have witnessed
the growth of the Tipping" custom to
a degree where it now embraces prac-
tically the entire country. Formerly
it was confined to ocean steamers and
few hotels in New York patronized
exclusively by Anglomaniacs. BUT
cheap imitators of the latter and the
shoddy new rich took up the custom.
spread it from city to city, until today
men and women who heartily detest
the custom, not because of the money
involved, are compelled to submit to
it or endure discomfort and treatment
pudent servants and seryile lackeys>
A few years ago small gratuity was
received with manifestations OF thanks
by servants in hotels, dining cars and
in restaurants. Now the tip is regard
ed as an absolute night and in many
cases is accepted without thanks or
with an air of lofty condescension.
To some men Tip" is of little con-
sequence. To commercial men and
those compelled to travel it is a con-
slant and growing item OF expense. It
is the contribution of the public to tho
cash box of the hotel, the restaurant
keeper and the sleeping car company,
because lower wages are paid to their
servants with the expectation that def
icit will paid up in tips" from Gus
toners, guests and the public gen.
orally.
One way to cripple the custom, If
not absolutely restrict it to the haunts
OF its Anglomaniac originators, is for
the various associations of travelling
commercial men to organize anti-tip-
ping societies. The effect Of sucL
movement, If persisted in, would DO
the abolition of practice that had Its
origin in the cheap and low hotels OF
Europe, where men paid the unclean
waiter sou or ha'peuny extra to Sc
cure larger piece of meat and great
er portion of vegetables than their
neighbors.

ROMANCE OF AN IRON MINE.
How a Peuniless Michigander Has Be
come Possessed OF Great Wealth.

A correspondent gives the following
as the correct story OF Charles A.
Chapins life, about whom the Tribune
printed paragraph the other day:
Charles A. Chaplin mot Chopin
was merchant in small way in a
little village in the upper peninsula OF
Michigan (wheGe alone in Michigan is
iron ore found.) In course of time Mr..
Chaplin failed in business and turned
over all his property to his creditors
and was left penniless in his old age.
At meeting of his creditors In De-
troit it was by one of them remarked;
Anyway, Charley Chaplin is an hon
est man, and l don't feel like turning
him out on the world naked. Among
the property turned over to these
creditors was quarter section or tim
Der land that, If cleared, rocky though
it was, might be made to produce
living for the old man and his equally
aged wife. This tender hearted cred
ltor proposed that they should deed
back this land to Mr.. Chaplin. This
was done, and in clearing up the land
iron ore was discovered on it, and, in
course of time, the discovery became
the celebrated Chapia mine of Crystal
Falls, Iron county, Michigan. Mr..
Chaplin leased the right to mine the ore
to a Milwaukee (Wis.) company, with
a provision that not less than $4,000
tons of ore Should be taken out each
year, and on that a royalty of so cents
a ton should be paid TO him. This roJ-
atty of not less than 100000 year was
duly paid to Mr.. Chaplin for many
years, making him very rich man,
and he finally removed to Niles, Micn.,
where he doubtless still lives. During
one of the periodical depressions that
overtake the iron business Mr.. Chaplin
reduced his royalty, and | believe 1t il
now fixed at % cents ton. The out
put of the mine has been enormous;
some years it has been over 100000
toas, and last yC~+ and this year 1t has
been over 400, 900 tons, giving royalty
of $l00, 900 a year. New York Trib

WHERE'S MOTHER?

Bursting in from school or play,
This is what the children say:
Trooping, vrowding, big and small.
On the threshold, in che hail
Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by,
Where's mother?"
From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again;
From the boy with sparkling eyes.
Bearing home his earliest prize;
From the bronzed and bearded son.
Perils past and honors won:
Where's mother?"
Burdened with lonely task,
One day we may vainly ask
For the comfort of her face,
For the rest of her embrace:
Let us love her while we may.
Well for us that we can say:
Where's mother"
Mother with untiring hands
AT the post of duty stands,
Patient, seeking not her own.
Anxious for the good alone
or the children as they cry.
Ever, as the days go by,
Where's mother?"
Good HOUSEKEEPING.
