FOR HOTEL INSPECTION.
T.. ". Dorsey, Formerly of Ellsworth,
Suggest an Anti-Tip Law.

Among the measures which will be pre-
legislature will be one to provide for
the inspection of hotels in regard to sani-
tary conditions, fire escapes and other de-
tail, by an inspector appointed by the
State. committee OF the Maine Hotel
Mems association and the three councils
OF commercial travellers in the State, is
now drafting such a bill.
At least one hotel proprietor in the State
thinks that such a measure is not radical
enough, and believes that IL there is to be
inspection OF the hotels OF the State and
reforms made in hotel management, this
control should be carried one step further,
and an amendment made TO the bill,
which should abolish the tipping of hotel
help.
"Let them go one step further" says P.
5. Dorsey, proprietor of Hotel North, Au-
gusts, formerly OF Ellsworth, ''apd compel
the payment by the hotels OF sufficient
wages TO their help so as to do away with
tipping, and make the giving or receiving
OF tips a misdemeanor. The adjustment
OF tips, in my opinion, would be highly
satisfactory to all concerned, in the end.
The hotel employees would receive better
wages and the landlord and the travelling
public would both be better satisfied.
Every tip given in hotel diningro
costs the landlord double the tip in
waste"

The Cruelty OF Youth.


In the January American MagaEine APP
pears new Emma McCbesney story by
Edna Ferber. Emma McChesney is a
travelling saleswoman, and her only in
innate friend in the world is her son Jock.
IN the story she is in hotel in Columbus,
Ohio, just before Christmas, finishing up
her business, preparatory to going on to
New York to meet her son Jock who is
planning to come dowE from college and
spend Christmas with her in the metropo-
lis. The story then goes on:
"She was CHANGING through her mail.
Two from the firm one from Mary CUT
ting-one from the Sure White Laundry
at Dayton (hope they found that corset
cover) one from why, from Jock
From Jock And he'd written only two
days before. Well!
Sitting there ont he edge OF the bed she
regarded the dear scrawl lovingly, avor-
ing it, as is the way Of a woman. Then
she took hai-pin from the knot of bright
hair falso as is the way OF oman and slit
the envelope with quick, sure rip.
Nm NIT vast much as TO length. g Just
scrawled page. Emma McCbesney's eye
plunged into it hungrily, a smile OF an
ticipation dimpling her lips, lighting up
her face.
dearest Blonde it began.
"(fhe nerve OF the young Imply
"He hoped the letter would reach her in
time. Knew how this weather mussed up
her schedule. He wanted her honest
opinion about something straight, now |
One of the frat fellows was giving Christ
mas house party. Awful swells, by the
way. He was lucky even to be asked
He'd never remembered real Christmas
in home, you know, with a tree, and
skating, ana regular high jinks, and a
dinner that left you feeling like stuffed
goose berry. Old Wells says his grand
mother wears lace caps with lavender rib
bons. Can you beat it! OF couse he felt
like hog, even thinking OF wanting to
stay away from her at Christmas. Still,
Christmas in New York hotel--i But
the fellows had nagged him to write.
Said they'd do it il he didn't. OF course
he hated to think of her spending Christ
mas alone-felt like bloody villain
Little by little the smile that had
wreathed her lips faded and was gone.
The lips still were parted, but by one Of
those miracles with which the face ex-
presses what is within the heart, their ex-
preston had changed from pleasure to
bitter pain.
''She sat there, at the edge OF the bed
staring duly until the black scrawls
danced on the white page. With the let
ter before her she raised her hand slowly,
and wiped away hot, binding mist of
tears with her open palm. Then she read
it again, duly, as though every selfish word
OF it had not already stamped itself on her
brain and heart.
"After the second reading she sat there,
her eyes staring down at her lap. Once
she brushed an imaginary fieck of lint
from the lap Of her blue serge skirt
brushed, and brushed, and brushed, with a
mechanical, pathetic little gesture that
showed how completely absent her mind
was from the room in which she sat.
Then her hand fell Idle, and she became
very still, crumpled, tragic, hopeless
look rounding the shoulders that were
wont to hold themselves so erect and con-
tident."

THE EAGLE

Gaay monarch of the upper air, II like 10 watch you floating
 there. You ea beyond my sights
 dim reach, Then gorge on carrion on the
 beach. II like to watch you loop the
 loop Or gaze upon your dizzy swoop When from your station in the
 sky You see a rolling salmon lie. When e'er the lawns faint
 bleat is heard, It wakes to life the noble bird. He follows up that timid bleet The king of birds is out for
 meat. The plunging fishhawks joy
 full scream, Awakes the eagle from his
 dream. He steals the fish the ospey
 caught, He is the king why should he
 not? To learn your dizzy spinal glide Hokie, Moissont and Johnstone
 died. While for rapacity and greed, You match the Rockefeller
 breed. For noble looks and actions mean No finer bird was ever seen, Your flight is fine beyond be-
 lief, Bald headed scavenger and
 thief.

 Nature kicks as her breast he bricks, and scatters him gally west. II have conquered the sea, l think" says man, with a cheerful wink; "watch the oc- can wilt! For I've gone and built a vessel that cannot sink!" He showes us his rare design; all perfect his plans and fine, and we softly say as we go our way that the sea should take in it's sign. lie launches hls mighty bark, that's safer than Noah's Ark; it's slick and clean in it's lines, I ween, and swift as a trotting shark. "It simply can't sink" he claims; Sits bulkheads and mighty frames will defy the knocks of the bergs and rocks and the oceans wild est games." He sends it a-sail- ing then, this triumph designed by men; God gives a twist of his mighty wrist, and the sea is on top again.-WALT MASON.
