neartless, nations without soul. But
the responsibility of combination de-
ponds on that of the individual. The
most degraded idea of man is that he
can be anything but a man.
''The practice of tipping degrades
those VINO receive.
1T is significant that a girl working
for "a a week in a department store,
declines to take a domestic situation
where the wages are higher and the
treatment better. 1t is because of the
degradation that those holding mental
positions have forced upon themselves.

That is in him; to look upon man as
the highest creature in the world,

ANTI-TIP SPEECH.
Priest Assails Tipping Evil, Listeners
Practiced Theory.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-The mat boy"
at the Great Northern hotel was dis
consulate last night. He had issued
checks for more than 100 hats that
cover the heads of members of the
Chicago Credit Mems association. At
ter the manner of his kind, he had
placed a silver tray upon the counter
to receive small contributions. BY the
time the banquet was over and the
last guest had filed out not single
coin had found lodging in the tray.
"They even took the dime that 1 put
there as a nest egg" sighed the boy.
Speech Against Tipping.
The members of the Chicago Credit
Mems association had been listening
to an after dinner speech by Father
H. E. Smyth of st. Marys church,
Evanston. The speech was directed
against the abominable practice of
tipping. 1t left nothing unspoken,
nothing further to be desired upon the
subject. 1t was final, convincing,
persuasive and made immediate con-
verts.
Sorry, old man. said one of the
members to the hat boy, but it's de-
grading to the recipient to accept un
earned gratuities"
Father Smyths subject was "Busi-
ness and the Man" The walters who
had listened with interest to the pre-
liminary remarks, full of noble senti-

corporations, and the responsibility of
mobs turned pale when the priest be-
gan in earnest. He said:

Some Courageous Maidens.

Il know one girl whose family was
a perfect bunch Of small calamities.
She waited patiently until her wedding
was delayed three times, and then she
up and married the man of her heart
one afternoon when she went out to
walk with him, and that was all there
was to it. Another girls fance was
the sole companion Of an elderly
spinster sister. To say that the sister
made life unpleasant for any girl her
brother fancied would be to put it
mildly. She had already broken up
one love affair Of his, and she had no
intention Of allowing him to marry
during her lifetime Brother, poor
soul, thought he would bring her
around eventually. Meanwhile he babe
his fiancee be patient, for everything
would come right in time, which
usually means, have found out, that
nothing will, because no one is forcing
1t to. Well, the girl stood this waiting
as long as she could. Meanwhile sister
smiled In her sleeve and was content.
At the first mention Of a wedding,
however, she would make a scene and
reduce her tender hearted brother to
abject contrition. Finally up spoke the
girl, and she said, James, you can
either marry me tomorrow afternoon
quietly without any fuss or else it is
over between u.s. upon which they
proceeded to elope downtown together
unbeknown to any one. When the
deed was done, the family of the girl
breathed secretly great sigh Of re-
lief, while the sister after the first
gasp Of stupefaction settled down in
the incest and meekest manner i'm
aginable and proceeded to sheathe her
claws once and for all. And, as the
story books say, they all lived happily
ever afterward. So much for the use
full elopement that cuts away red tape
end joins two hearts sure of each
other" MAUD ROBINSON.

Anti-American Recruits In China.

Anti-American Recruits In China.
Among the most earnest speakers in
the movement to arouse public opinion
in China against America are two
prominent Christian natives Of prom
inence among their own people. In
spired by their appeals, the members
Of the great guilds in Shanghai and
elsewhere voted for more radical meas
ures in instigating the boycott on
American goods than had been expect
ed. Indignation mass meetings were
held by Christians to protest against
Americas refusal to admit Cinnamon
to this country.
The American exclusion law bears
hard upon the very class Of Chinese
who are educated by outside Christian
influences. 1t is not surprising that
Chinese students in colleges taught by
Americans were called upon to leave
their classes and to strike against
American teachers. It seems incon-
sistent at least to impose American
culture upon Cinnamon fitted to re.
ceive it and yet deny to those very in
dividuals admission to America if they
choose to come here.

and Agriculture.

Detroit. Mich, Aug. 1.-THE annual
convention Of the International Asso-
citation OF Factory Inspectors opened
here Tuesday. About $50 delegates
were present. The speech Of Mr.. Boz
dine, who is superintendent OF COM
pulsory education at Chicago, was the
feature Of the day and created mild
sensation among the delegates. The
speaker produced federal statistics
covering the past 20 years showing
that the Industrial competition OF
women, children and machine labor
was driving the men out of the large
cities to fields Of heavy manual labor
in mining and agriculture. He de-
clared that woman was destined to be
the ruling sex In industrialism, and
continued:
Man, like the indian, is dying out.
In 1890 there were 3,914,571 women
who were employed in gainful occu-
pations In America. In 1900 the num-
Der had increased to 5,329,S07. The
birth rate among the female occupa-
ton is increasing and the death rate
decreasing. II Is Just the reverse
among the males. We are rapidly
drifting to the age Of the eternal FEM
mime, when man will be back num-
yer and forced to return to the soil
md to those fields Of labor where only
lis physical endurance will save him
in the struggle for survival"
In discussing the competitive life
FOR the leadership in society, the
speaker said:
"SIciety is dying out at the top. 1t
Is crystal maze Of glass houses
where no occupant dares cast the first
stone: the dangerous example; the
academy of divorce Society has
mothers who are slaves to the siren
calls of fashion and frivolity, who
look more often into their mirrors
thon into the faces Of their children.
With a fashionable mother gadding
about at social functions and a fash
ionable father at his club. the result
will be that within decade the ques
tion of the neglected children OF the
rich will become as great a social
problem as that of the neglected chill
dren Of the poor"

Best of the Nations
Fighting Craft.

Philadelphia, Aug. 13.-The battle
ship Kansas, the largest war vessei
ever built in the east, was launched
at 12.47 .. m. Saturday at the yard OF
the New York Ship Building company
in Camden, N. J. The launching was
witnessed by Gov. Hoch of Kansas,
whose daughter, Miss Anna Hoch
acted as sponsor for the ship. Along
with the governor was a christening
party Of 80 Kansans.
An unusual feature OF the Launching
was the fact that the vessel was chris
tened with water procured from John
Browns spring at Ossawatomie, Kan
instead OF the customary bottle OF
champagne. This was the first time
that water instead Of wine has been
used in launching vessel in Ihih
vicinity. Gov. Hoch Of Kansas made
the suggestion and he made the an
nouncement after the launching that
the christening bottle contained only
water.
The battleship Kansas is sister ship
of the Vermont, now being built at
the yards Of the Fore River Ship and
Engine Building company, Quincy.
