Tipping.

Once upon time a greedy man went early to banquet, and seeing the table heaped up with good things to eat he bribed 8 waiter to let him get at it This was 8 great success. When the other guests arrived he was dead from over-eating, with smile on his face.
 From this incident arose the habit of tipping. Tipping is an attempt to get more than one foot in the trough. Orig inally, the tipper paid the waiter to feed him and neglect some other chap. After that came an era when men pald walters to protect themselves against the orig. inal tippers. Now every one tips to pro- tect himself against the walters. Some of our first automobile owners were walters.
 Tipping is very seldom sign of hog gishness nOw-it is a sign of timidity, We tip walters. porters, bellboys and bOotblacks to purchase their good opin- ion. Men who don't care a hang what their friends or their country think of them would walk home ten miles rather than endure the frown of an untipped waiter. They would refuse joyously to contribute dollar to a church fair, but in the presence of a check boy at hotel they are humble and anxious. If they do not tip the check boy as much as the last fellow did, he will think him stingy, and what is life without the good opin- ion of check boy?
 In America the tip is hold up, but in Europe it is an institution like aristocra- cy and the tourist. It is possible to go through twenty miles of blackberry bushes, but neither feat IS worth the eff fort. If one must refrain from tipping in Europe, good plan is to hire a stout young man and then pose as his valet. While he is refusing to tip and is taking the consequences, you can pick up your baggage and saunter carelessly to the train unscathed.
 In America, if you are a bold man and do not care to tip, put on your hat and walk away rapidly, so that you will leave that particular atmosphere behind as quickly as possible. If you are a timid man, send the waiter for a glsss of water and then flee. By changing your name and growing beard, you will be able to live in perfect safety and may even forget in time that somewhere a waiter would curse your name if he only knew it.
 Many nervous people do not know whom to tip and whom not to tip. The rule is easy. In the West, tip every one you are afraid of. In Chicago tip any one who has done you real service. In New York, don't bother-the tippee will help himself. In Europe do not tip any one with a crown on.
 Some Americans, who have spent thousands of dollars buying love and re- spect from tippees, have been sued for divorce by thelr wives on the grounds of general ussedness.-Kansas City Star

But Watch for Canaan's.

Hats off to our friend Wallingford
 The borough has again demonstrated a foresightedness which speaks we'll for it's progressive spirit. Last year Wal. lingford had n Fourth of July celebra- tion which was so good that it attracted very general attention. This year it iu- tends to have an anniversary worthy to come under the pure food laws SO far as genuineness is concerned.
 Arguing on the premise that super lative good thing cannot be created in a minute, the Wallingford people have be- gun already to plan for the nations birthday
 According to the present scheme there is absolutely nothing adulterated about the scheme. 1t seems to be get together in which all races. creeds and nationalities will take part There is to be a big street parade in which the children and the fraternal organizations will play an important part. Illumina- tion and decoration will be done on an elaborate scale. The patriotic spirit of the day will be enchanced by oratory and song.
 Altogether the program sounds very attractive and the previousness of the promoters is calculated to allow all the ideals to be realized. No really big problem can be put through in a night. If plan is worthy of execution, it should be considered so thoroughly as to make its consummation worthy.-Meri- den Record.

Religious Life in Wartime. !.

It was one of the humorous phases of soldier life during the civil war, that occasionally on some suspicious occasion 8 squad from some regiment or company would be detailed to attend religious worship and to thus keep up the reputation of the service. There was something of sacrifice in this for the boys, who were generally not anxious to spend the brief resting time afforded by Sunday, In that way. It entailed too much in fixing up, in going and coming, etc., and the unfortunates were com. miserated by their surviving con- rades.'
 But there were other times, and the writer recalls attending meeting at a little church in fields at Falls Church, Va, one Sunday. when Corporal Henry Lee of the New London company of the 2nd Connecticut regiment, give an imi- tation of an exhortation in the style of Elder Jabez Swan of New London, in a way that thrilled the boys who knew the elders voice and manner, and that thoroughly satisfied the colored hearers who chanced to be present, The whole service was voluntary and no collection was taken up.-Bridgeport Standard.

READY FoRTHE QUESTION:

Discussing the woman suffrage move ment, editoriallv, the Waterbury Repub- ican says: #
 Perhaps the cause may receive another setback that will drive it out of the pub lie mind, but it is more likely that it will have reached such prominent place in public discussions soon that it will have taken permanent hold on the sentiment of both men and women and force the question to the polls. There is no doubt that the next general assembly of this state will be compelled to tackle this problem seriously and from now until the question has been lad before the people for decision, this state may expect to find the suffragists busy in every line of activity which they think will aid their cause. On that account it is the duty of voters to inform themselves to their best ability on the arguments pro and con: to deliberate on it in their own minds and to be prepared to ballot intell- igently, when the question does come be- fore them.

REGRET IS DEAD.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Regret is dead, now face the front,
 And bravely forge ahead; You did the best you knew, and failed, And oh how your heart bled You say you did the best you knew Then why should you repine ? The furnace of those past mistakes
 Will future deeds refine. But lives there one who never failed,
 Who never knew regret Whose feet neer stumbled on hfe's way, Whose eyes are never wet Regret is dead now fight to win
 Wipe the tears from your eyes Fresh courage take and forge ahead
 And you will win the prize.

cANAAN'S "J'INERS'

Reference has been made to the num- Der of social, fraternal, benevolent and kindred organizations, that flourish in this bustl1ng town. A list of these or ganizations, compiled by member of several of them, is interesting. It em. braces the following

 Knights of Columbus.

 Young Peoples Society, (Pilgrim) Campfire Girls.
 Royal Neighbors.
 Rebekahs, (now Organizing)
 Woodmen of the World, (now organiz- ing)
 Here are thirty different local organ izations-and possibly there are others, that have been overlooked by the con- piler-all of which are presumably four ishlng and there is hardly an evening in the week when some of them are not in session. The suggestion attributed to Horace Holt, at the last meeting of the Wurra Wurra Club, (which for some reason was not counted by the compiler of the above list,) that steps be taken to consolidate these organizations, was pro- bably not made seriously-such merg- ing of societies would be impracticable, for obvious reasons. But the observa- tion that ''the organization business is overdone" may or may not be entitled to more serious consideration. Whether we have too many societies in proportion to population may be 8 debatable ques- tion, but it is doubtful if there is another town in the state that supports so many diversified organizations to the square inch. The showing along this line abundantly proves that Oanaanites can get together and pull together in punches, at all events.
