While the storm was raging, In
Richmond Sunday afternoon two
ladies took refuge in the hall of a
residence declaring that 1T was the
safest place in the house. There was a
deafening peal of thunder and a
vivid flash of lightning. In a mo-
ment there was scream. Inc
ladies' were mother and daughter.
When the thunder clap came the
younger of the ladies threw up her
hands in excitement, and as she did
so she struck her mother in the face.
The latter thought she had been hit
by lightning, and she-it was whe
screamed. They were both badly
scared, but not in the least hurt.

TIPS AND WAGES

The excuse for federation of the
tipping system has commonly been
that walters, porters and other ser
wants are paid such low wages that
they must have liberal tips in or
der to live. With this in view, many
men nowadays in city restaurants
hand out a half dollar tip. The trav-
cling salesman or impecunious ira
weller who can't play the game on
this level is subjected to many an
noyances.
Pullman sleeping car porters testi-
tiOns committee the past week, re-
ported very liberal wages as the re
suit of the tipping system One
man said that his salary was $42
month and his tips averaged SIS.
Other cases we're similar.
The average man employed in Pull
man car porter work throughout the
country could not probably earn
$117 a month in other employment. A
frequent result is that by flattering
and ObseQuiously waiting ON wealthy
people, while neglecting others. they
win a wage above the average level.
Thus they gain money at the cost of
a loss of independence
If the tipping system were held
down to a reasonable level it would
not always increase the cost of ira
vel. If all the customers of the
average hotel should at once stop
tipping, the hotel managers would
have to increase wages. Probably
then they would increase prices.
But the tipping. system annoys the
public with growing size of tips,
feeling that they are Victims of a
graft, yet bothered by the fear of
being unfair to work people. The
man with the threadbare clothes is
sighted and sneered at, while the
one with the costly tailored suit is
fawned upon. 1t lis undemocratic and
contrary to American principles.
The tipping system thrustS on the
traveller services which he would pre-
fer to perform for himself. If he
walks with a light grip a few
blocks to the station. he is made to
feel that he is a ''tightwad'' for not
scattering his quarters. Hotel and
restaurant keepers should see that
their employees are paid enough SO
that their hungry arioC for coins
is not too burdensome.

noLpn AL THlRTY-svEEN

The defeat of Jack Johnson by Jes
Willard is generally attributed to
his age. From the standpoint of ath-
letics. he is going down the decli-
yity of life at the ripe age of thir-
ty-seyen. He exceued Willard in
science and skill, but got tired quick
er.
Baseball constantly gives these in
stances of some loss of physical
power at an early age The great
majority OF the successful players
are under thirty. Under that age
SOME lack OF elasticity and en-
uurance commonly begins to unfit a
man for the fastest play.
Ii would be a melancholy reflection
for the average man, if he had to
admit that at the age of thirty-four
he was going down hill. In business
the years from forty to fifty are
commonly called the prime of life.
The man who shows decided signs of
physical decay al fifty has usually
abused himself either by dissipation
or OyerWork.
Many men start with a meager
equipment of physical strength, but
by rational exercise and sane liv-
ing are stronger at fifty, capable
of greater physical exertion, than
they were at thirty .
Young people take pride in their
seeming ability to defy the stupid
lJws OF health. They bolt their food,
cut short their sleep, and indulge
in harmful vices. The spirit.of youth
keeps them going, until one day
something snaps. 1t may take years
to recover.
It is often said that the way to
live long is to have some incurable
diseas,. The man who starts out
With a slender equipment Of physi-
cal power, careful outstanding of his
forces often lives into the eighties.
Meanwhile physical maryels like JAG
johnson or the, ball players throw
the cream of their power into mo-
ments of supreme strain.
There may be more physical loss
in such an hour than in years of
ploddfng effort of daily life 1t is
yet to be proved that athletic prov
ess assures either long life or a
healthy old age.

THOSE WHO WALK

It is generally believed that more
automobiles viii be used this sea
son than ever before. Many people
feel that it is a sign of social in
significance not to own a machine
Yet there are tens of millions of
good people in this country who own
no automobiles. Have they wholly
failed in life?
There are of course many people
perfectly able to buy motor cars, who
do not care for them. The medita-
tive PAGES of the old family horses
suit them better. Or they may have
no gumption for machinery. The
possibility Of finding themselves
stranded on a lonely road twenty
mIes from nowhere is the deter
rent.
Still automobiles are the twentieth
century's most popular toy. In
nine out of ten cases, failure to
own one results from a feeling of
inability to afford it. What solace
have these people for lack of a
convent ence that a great many peo-
pie now find to be an absolute nee
essity?
To the philosopher, the possession
of two good muscular legs, able to
walk considerable distances with
out fatigue, is very good substi-
tute. It is compensation which
many people do not understand. Ev-
en- before the days of automobiles,
one often used to hear farm PEG
pie, who had the use of several
horses, speak rather contemptuous-
" of city persons who used to come
into the country and spend a good
deal of time walking. 1t never seem
ed to occur TO the horse owner that
people walk for the mere pleasure of
he stride and the close contact
with nature.
The use of motor cars is weaken
ing muscular power for a great

so YEARS AGO AT APPomATTox.

so YEARS AGO AT APPomATTox.
The 50th anniversary April 9, Of
the SURF render OF Lee at Appomattox
is not being observed much by pub
lie celebrations. It is one of the
great historic events OF American
Life. Yet few northern men care to
rub in" these memories. They can
only have sympathy for their tragic
desola1ion OF the south.
To the Older people the memories
of that portentous day will never
grow dim. The gulf between the
two sectio ions seemed as high as hea-
ven and as deep as hell, CHASTITY with
skeletons, ruined homes and for
tunes.
Yet time heals all wounds. There
are scars visible, but flowers have
grown over the graves and the
ruins.
Perfect harmony can never be K
pected between widely separated sec
tions OF any large country. The fact
that differences exist does not
prove that the relations are not cor
dial. The East and the West have
their sharp conflicts, almost as much
as South and North.
A nation that spreads over SO vast
an expanse as the United States. has
many divergent interests to recon
Gle. 1t can never be as harmonious
as a small and compact country. 1t
gains all the power and freedom of
bigness, but it pays for it with the
diversities of ideas and points OF
view. Thes diversities are often
sharp, yet they need never be ser
ious or threatening.
Ii it WAS only possible for the
great mass of the people to travel
freely all over the country, fric-
ton between sections would be re-
duced 10 small minimum. Most OF
the differences referred to result
from lack of personal understand
ing of the people and problems OF
other sections.
The heroism of the two armies
that finally joined hands at Appo-
mattox is the joint heritage of all
the people. Their endurance, and
their daring are am expression of the
idealism and determination of.Amer
lean character. Any man who had
an ancestor ON that field has a
right TO rejoice in the glory of his
| blood, regardless which side he
fought on.
