THE TIPPING EVIL

Editor Day Book: The tipping evil
as practiced in hotels and cafes is
one Of the most pernicious and de-
grading habits in this country. The
waiter not only pays the head-waiter,
but also the chef, pantrynlan, bus boy
and, in many instances, the bar
tender
In order to pay all of these people
he must, in most instances, over
charge the patrons. And in this he is
protected by the head-waiter In fact,
the head-waiter oftentimes so fixes
the patrons check that a goodly por-
ton of the graft goes into his own
pocket The proprietor not only
knows that this system exists, but
encourages it in every way.
The restaurant owner knows full
well that if the tipping and grating
evil were abolished he would have to

enactment of even such an made
quate law.
And the union of restaurant keep
ers are at the present time fighting
to prevent the mattresses from OBJ
tanning the same inadequate mini
mum wage.
If we were ever blinded by the ar
guments the employers union put
forth against this proposed So mini
mum, if we ever were foolish enough
to believe them when they stated that
the enactment Of such law would
hurt their business and was not nee
essary for the girls in their employ,
the very fact that the Massachusetts
Wage Board has agreed that a sum
much exceeding this is necessary to
permit a girl to live, without includ-
ing one cent for medicine, dentistry
or expenses when she is idle, should
certainly make us realize now that
we were blinded and we were fool
ish, and we should renew our de-
mands that these employers be fore
ed to pay living wage.
And now is a splendid time to do
it when they are united in their effort
to defeat the waitreessses from OBJ
tanning even the inadequate So mini
mum.

not accustomed to.
/ And there is still another evil which
arises form the tipping maitland
that is this: We will say two patrons
come into a restaurant They both
spend the same amount of money,
one tips, the other does not The
one who tips gets the service and at
tention, and the one who does not
tip is the one who suffers. He is kept
waiting, is treated with incivility, and
in many ways shown he is not a
welcome patron, and before he leaves
the restaurant every employee in the
place knows he is a cheap skate"
No self-respecting waiter likes to
receive or accept gratuities, but the
proprietor cOmpels him to do so. be-

pays him, which is rarely over So per

BARABOO'S HITCHING STABLE
Accommodations for Over Fifty Teams,
Popular With Farmers

Black River Falls journal: The city
of Baraboo has feeding and hitching
stable for farmers teams, the like of
which would be fine thing for this
city, and in all probability one would
be just rs much of financial success
here as 1t Is there. The stable at Bara-
boo is about 60 by l25 feet in ground
dimension. 1t has only a small loft for
hay, holding about three or four loads
of loose hay. but the entire building is
put up in substantial manner and
still with an outlay much less than
would be required If it had been fitted
up in the usual manner of barns The
walls are of brick, but are only about
10 feet in height at the sides, the roof
center. The floor is of concrete and so
made as to make it easy to keep clean.
The stalls are along both sides. and
each stall is 10 feet square, large
enough to hold two teams with vehicles
There is room in the center space to
permit wagon to turn, and during
rush days it also allows more teams to
be accommodated. On some days rs
many as IS teams have been taken care
of. In each stall is a collapsible man
ger, made of iron, and invertible feed
troughs. The whole building is put up
In manner which will make it last for
years, and with but small outlay for
repairs. The stable is very popular
with the farmers, who pay a fee of ten
cents for standing their teams therein
while they are attending to their busi
ness matters about the city. I'm one
corner of the stable is commodiouS
waiting room, with storage space for
parcels, which is also Ut great convent
ence to the patrons. The stable has
running water, and at the top of the
roof is sky light which lights the
whole interior. If any of our public
spirited citizens would hike to do n good
stroke Of business foS the town and ut
the same time find n profitable invest
ment for their funds, it would pay
them to take u trip to Raraboo and look

QUEER WILL PUT ON RECORD
BY Cyrus Woodman Early Resident
of Mineral Point

| OF mIneTal FOInt.
Mrs. Catherine Priestley of Madison
recently received copy of Freeport
paper which gives a report of the plac
ing on record of the will of the late
| Cyrus Woodman, at one time resident
of Mineral Point. The Woodman fam
lily lived in the residence now owned
and occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. w. B,
Shepard, adjoining the Priestley home
stead.
The preamble to the will recites that
his debts at the time of his death would
be less than $4,000 and for which he
had made ample provision. He be-
queaths to his wife, Charlotte Wood
man, $4,000 and the homestead 1t
was his hope that she will spend the
income instead of saving any of it for
an investment. He gives $4,000 to his
daughter Mary, and $500 to his sons
Frank, Walter and Edward.
The daughter is given the armchair
which belonged to his mother, also a
clock which belonged to his grand :
mother, but, the testator says, Il would
give it to my son Frank were it not
that l prefer to keep it in New England.
If he should come to New England to
live, wish it may be given to him"
The will provides that the daughter
is also to receive "Sainte Cecilia" an

which it hung. He bought it in 1854.

Another bequest to his son Frank is
1.-The silk stockings in which he and his
brothers, my father and myself were
married" He also gives to Frank "she
slippers in which / was married and
which l have never worn except upon
that occasion; a poor pair, bat the best
l could then conveniently get" A
further gift to Frank is a small COM
pass which Mr.. Woodman carried hum
dreds of miles in examining lands in
Illinois and Wisconsin.
Another provision of the will is set
forth in the paragraph that the BAN
boo watch chain which nay old and
dear friend, John Albion Andrews,
was wearing when stricken by death, l
do not give to either of nay sons. For
it they must cast lots, as, perhaps. they
will do for varioas things that each
must want
A paragraph of interest is as follows ::
