FRON OTHER PENS
TIPPING

L
Tipping in England has long been an
institution: 1t was the fee paid by the
lordly to the humble for the distinction of
his homage. 1t kept the humble in its
place; he did not aspire to more than
what he got by voluntary contribution,
and he was thankful to get anything.
The English kept their system well in
hand until the advent of the purse-proud
American, anxious to scatter his dollars
in lieu of his nobility.
As the cat learns to crave raw meat
from tapping her own wounds, the Ameri-
can acquired taste for the adulation of
lackeys in England, and could not endure
without it when he returned home. With
his disdainful pittance he bought the
fawning free Americans. Now he himself
is rapidly becoming a creature cringing to
his bootblack or to the compelling eye of
his barber or the sly hint of his waiter.
What was respectable institution in
England becomes insolent holdup when
brought to this country.
The temper of this country is such that
any such practice. when brought here,
must either become an institution and,
therefore, be subject to legislative regula-
ton, or become monster of prey. If
tipping is to stay. let it by all means be
regulated Post.

for comment 1.-THE Lackawanna Ches-

recently issued as a circular by the
Delaware & Lackawanna railroad. The
principles therein laid down are of
vital interest to the public. No home
should be without them. If needed,
they point the way to health, wealth
and happiness.
In the first place. it is to be under
stood, from the circular, that the rail-
road business is "highl-- complex and
technical" and it is not to be expected
that the public will comprehend it
without asking questions" There
fore the questioners should be borne
with as courteously as possible, and all
inquiries should be answered without
any suggestion of superiority borne of
greater knowledge" Good advice.

VETERANS IN THE CITY.

B. F. Howard, 9Th Ohio Battery Gulf
port, Miss. Comrade Howard, who has
been in the real estate and hotel busi-
ness, went to Gulfport some years ago
for the benefit of his health, and has
seen the town grow from an insignif-
cant fishing hamlet to a busy port with
port is on that part of Mississippi which
projects to the Gulf of Mexico, and is
nearly midway between Mobile and New
Orleans. 1t fronts on the Mississippi
Sound, which has been always a good
harbor for gulf vessels. Il. was the
place where Packenhams fleet took
shelter in the expedition against New
Orleans, and again Commodore Farra-
gut assembled his fleet there for his
expedition against New Orleans. The
remarkable development is due to the
enterprise of Capt J. r. Jones, veteran
of Buffalo, n. Y, who had made for
tune, but whose health had failed, COM
pelling him to seek a warmer climate
He could not be idle, so he took up a
railroad scheme to tap the great virgin
forests of Mississippi. Gulfport is now
one of the great ports of the world for
lumber and naval stores. The lumber
is mostly the long-leafed pine, which
grows to such magnificence in that sec
ton. Turpentine, tar and rosin are also
brought in in immense quantities, and
it is expected that the town will develop
into a splendid city. 1t is calculated
that the available timber supply will
last at least 20 years. and in the mean
While other Industries will develop.

The Department of Michigan, Ladies
of the G. A. R., is in more prosperous
condition than ever before III its his
tory. The membership has materially
increased, and interest is awaking all
along the line. The Department Con-
vention will be held at Hastings May
1920, and large attendance is prom-
ised. The various Circles report ex-.
tensive relief work, both in money and
personal effort. The Department ex-
poets to do more work on Memorial
Day than at any previous time. Special
pains will be taken to observe the deco
ration of the waters, which ceremony
originated in Nebraska in 1899 in honor
of a Nebraska boy, who died at sea and
was buried near Honolulu, while the
regiment was en- route to the Philip
pines. The Ritual was prepared by
Mrs. Carrie NJ. Peters, of Omaha, and
has been in general use for two years.
The largest Circle in the State is Gar

the Confederacy in raising monument
to Wirz. In return the Circle voted to
contribute for statue of 3. F. Butler
