TRAVELETTE
Northampton, Mass.
BY NIkSAH.

Northampton. Mass, has the pecu-
liar distinction of being the most en-
dowed community in the United States.
The reasons why men and women OF
wealth have established charities in
this ancient colonial town are not
stated, but the fact is obvious. Located
in the western part of the old Bay
state, where the Connecticut river
breaks through from the north with a
burden of saw logs on its bosom, hid
den away in the inlands a hundred
miles from Boston, it's ancient build
ings overshadowed by great elm trees.
Northampton has slumbered with her
lap full of gifts for two and a half
centuries.
1t was Sophia Smith who, forty years
ago, endowed college for women
which was built in the very heart Of
Northampton. There have been many
endowments of schools for women, but
Smith College was destined to attract
to itself greater numbers of the sex in
pursuit of higher education than any
other Seventeen hundred of them each
year matriculate, and their presence
gives distinctive atmosphere to this
town of 10000.
Smith is a good name in Northamp-
ton There are the Smith Charities.
founded by a relative of Sophia. that
are among the most unique of philan-
THRONES. 1t is because of them that
any young man in all the region there
about may have $500 in cash at his
disposal when he comes to the age of
twenty one-if he meets certain condi-
tons 1t is because of them that every
native born young woman receives $50
when she marries or $3.50 at twenty
one.
But to get this money these young
people most put themselves under the
eye of the directors of the Smith
Charities to whom reports of good con-
duct must be made regularly by en-
ployers or guardians. The idea is that
a desire to obtain this money VIII
operate as restraint on the young
people of the community during the
years when restraint is needed. In
cidentally, the foundation money Is
loaned out to farmers at per cent.
which in itself is a charity.
Then there is the municipal theater.
built from an endowment and operated
by the mayor and committee OF
citizens There is Clark School for the
deaf and dumb, likewise endowed, and
in which some of the best authorities
of the nation are interested. The
Forbes Library has more money for
the purchase of books than il is able
to spend, and is consequently embar-
raised. The local hospital is endowed.
There is the Home Culture Club. which
has an endowment that enables il to
offer handsome prizes for the house
holders who develop the most attrac-
tive gardens of various grades, and
this has done much for the beautifca-
zion of the ancient town.

The MODERN SPORT OF
ARCHERY.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

| The thirty-seventh~ annual meet Of
the National Archery Association of
the United States in Chicago this
month brings to the tore again this
sport, one of the oldest activities of
man thus surviving as a popular
amusement
heaven a bent beautiful bow. so long
will the fascination of archery keep
hold of the hearts of men," writes one
of it's modern devotees. who has had
much to do with the revival of the
sport in this country. There is held
to be deep-seated fascination about
winging an arrow to it's mark. For
one thing, archery had its beginnings
in the long-ago primitive, and the man
who loves the pull and twang of a
good bow is but barking back to the
days when the race was young.
AS modern sport archery has many
advantages. Men and women may
practice it together. 1t develops sup
pleness and grace of body and skill Of
hand and eye. 1t is peculiarly associ-
ated with the open and the sunshine.
1t requires a knowledge of wind, an
appreciation of distance, to attain the
highest skill.
Despite, all its advantages, archery
remains a sport almost unknown to
the great majority, though zealously
pursued by it's few devotees. 1t is
safe to say that few, persons outside
of the circle of it's membership know
ton of the United States. while the
information that many Of these still
hunt wild game with the long bow,
like Robin Hood of old, is not widely
known.

the shooting. Compared to hunting

CHINESE EDIBLE DOGS.
They Arc Fed Mainly Upon Daintily
Prepared Vegetable Food.

| prepared teSckdUIo TSOCs
English be- vivants have tested the
merits ofAce Chinese edible dog, and
they pronounce it very good dog in
/ deed.
The dog is destined from the begin
ming for the table. Like the edible rat
Of the same country, it is fed mainly
upon vegetable food, which is often
delicately prepared and specially de-
vised. in order to give the dogs flesh
peculiar flavor and aroma. The re-
suit is something quite different FROM
the flesh of the ordinary dog Of the
western world.
The genuine Chinese edible dog is
known by its blush black tongue,
which is a peculiar mark Of its variety.
In infancy and early youth the dogs
tongue is rcd, and upon reaching ma
turity and the edible age it suddenly
becomes black, sometimes within two
weeks.
Another regularity of this dog is its
lack of the barking faculty. 1t Is said
that the dog can bark, and on &C.
casions does SO, but these occasions
are rare.
Many experiments, most Of them un-
willing. were made with the flesh Of
dogs during the Paris siege. New
foundlands and st. Bcrnards were pre-
ferred, under the mistaken impression
that they would prove more eatable
than other varieties. They proved to

DOWN WITH THE TIP.

Shelby County Republicans: The
Iowa law against tipping, which went
into effect July 4th, is good law and
should be enforced. The tip practice
Is undemocratic aid un-American; il
came from European lands of princes
and peasants over seas, and has no
place in a cuult,! where every man
is the social equal of every other man.
A number of landlords throughout
the state prior to the day the law
took effect, declared they would pay
no attention to it. and expressed the
belief that the law would not result
in materially reducing the tipping evil.
That sort of landlord is a combina-
ton of pirate and highway robber.
He is the man VINO sells to his guest
q certain grade of entertainment and
service, and then refuses to see that
the goods are delivered unless the
guest brides the servant to do his
duty. His robbery extends to both
guest and servant through his refusal
to pay the servant proper wage, de-
manding, rather, that the servan: get
his wage out OF the guest by system
Of petty blackmail
The tip system owes it's adoption in
this country to those snobs who de.
sire to buy for themselves personal
consideration and attention above that
enjoyed by their fellows, their thought
being that a certain amount of pur-
chased Difference heightens their per-
sonal standing in community where
perhaps they receive no Difference ~
cept that which they buy.
The passage of the law affords pat
rons of hotels, sleeping and dining
cars and other public service institu-
lions an opportunity to smash the
practice in Iowa. Let every patron OF
such place stand upon his implied con-
tract when he buys service, and upon
his refusal as man and a citizen to
be imposed upon. Then let him boy
colt every institution which does not
deliver the grade of entertainment and
service due to him who pays the price.
That sort of treatment will put the
"kibosh' upon any landlord who pre-
tends that the tip system is neces-
sary evil.
