THE MODERN T
A Product of the Times, IL Is Made by
the Guests.

Nv NoSSAS
Among the silly and absurd articles
appearing from time to time concern
ing hotel and tavern keeping, one tells
us again and again how the modern
hotel is shown TO disadvantage when
compared with the inns of colonial
days. In these articles the writer di-
lates and eXpatiates on the hospitality
OF the old time tavern, and the cold,
Indifferent and almost cruel treatment
received from the hands of the modern
hotel OF course every N knows
if he will drop sentiment Fl a moment
and give the subject a little sober re-
Election that the modern traveller, tour
list or hotel guest would absolutely re-
fuse the accommodations afforded by
the inn of a hundred years ago. The
only advantage of a hotel of those
times lay III the fact that the lack of
material comforts drew from the trav-
eler a warmer fellow feeling and great
err SOciability-a condition in which one
man was more his brothers keeper
than prevails today. Again, the travel
by coach and the small number thrown
together, en- route or at the hotel, made
closer acquaintanceship not only posi-
bic, but far more desirable than in our
day of big hotels and big crowds.
The modern hotel is Il product of the
times. The wants, desires, whims, fads
and, on top Of all these, the imperative
demands of those who travel have
made the hotel of today what 1t is from
the standpoint of food, accOmmOda-
tons, method of service and manage
ment and from every point of view.
The hotel keeper of today responds to
the bidding of the guests. One might
almost say of he man and woman who
travel: Here is your hotel. You have
planned 1t, furnished it. You have out
lined its methods of management, and
it is what you believe should be COM
pretended in the modern hotel"
The colonial tavern, which would not
be tolerated for a moment in our days,
was adapted to its times. To speak Of
1t as being superior to the modern hos
telry is to claim that the old stage
coach, which left you more weary and
worn at the end of a hundred miles
than the palace coach does today at
the end of a thousand miles. was q su-
perior vehicle Of travel to those used
the modern railrOad.-Hotel World.

August.

august" the name Of the month, is
accented on the first syllable. eau,
gust" the adjective, is accented on the
second syllable. This is due, no doubt,
to the fact that, though both started
from the Latin augustus" they have
arrived by different routes. The adj
%jective Is the French "auguste," while
August" commemorating the Roman
emperor's title, is the French "aout'
and the middle English "augst' or
"aust." July" used to rhyme with
duly" even in Johnson's time, as It
had done centuries earlier and as It
does In southern Scotland to this day.

Going down the Rhine you get d, les

a farm in America you would go out
with a pick and spade and dig holes
all owe a 100 acre tract to make sure
the soil was so and SO and that there
was not more than one stone to the
rood. On these cliff vineyards along
the Rhine it looks to you as if there
was not more than a bushel Of earth
to the rood and that the rest was all
stone.
In America you wouldn't buy a farm
on the perpendicular surface Of the
Grand canyon, yet you imagine the
bluffs of the Rhine seemed almost as
impossible before the erterpTieing
g~rapevines got a start there. There
may be a few inches of space on the
cliffs where some German has not
made a terrace big enough for a bunch
of grapes, but if any such spot has
been overlooked you failed to discover

of the methods of farm practices with
the object in view of outlining the

that by studying the practices of
the best farmers it will be possible
to obtain some material which we can
present to the farmers of this state
that will lead to improved methods
and raise our standard Of farm prac-
tices.
Accordingly, we would like very
much to hear from any who have
been unusually successful with crops
or live stock in this or preceding
years. In making report of the
crops. state value of land per acre.

New York, Jan. 3.-Twelve hundred
union printers, the employees OF forty
four book and job printing concerns in
New York city, went on strike during
the day and began the struggle for the
e%ight-hour day which had been de
clared to go into effect during the day.
Members OF the local Typothetae,
against whom the strike was declared,
asserted at night that hundreds of
%nonunion printers from various parts
of the country are hurrying to New
York to take the places OF the strik-
ers and to secure the high wages paid
In this city. Representatives OF the
Typographical union say that the eight
hour principle has already been won
in New York and that the percentage
of men compelled to strike is very
small.
Seven hundred men are out in Phil

a dozen to fifty in various other cities
in the United States where the eight
hour day was not secured.
