PLEASANT EVENT
FOR PYTHTANS
Ocala knights Entertained the Lady
Members of the Order

If you want to- meet with a real
disappointment just attend one of the
Ocala Knights of Pythias meetings
with the expectation that there won't
be big time when the word is pass
ed down the line by the entertainment
committee that there will be.
Monday evenings meeting at Cas-
tie Hall was no exception to this rule,
when the Knights entertained for the
Pythian Sisters and the other ladies.
The guests were welcomed by
Judge William Gober, grand outer
guard of the state grand lodge in a
short speech. Beautiful piano music
was furnished by Miss Ethel Hay
craft, while Misses Louise Rentz and
Mamie Gross rendered most interest
ing recitations.
Under head of "good of the ORDER
DIR. J. NJ. Gross of the Methodist
church, and Mr.. George Rentz adj
dressed the audience on the excellent
features of such organizations as the
Knights of Pythias and the kindred
organization, the Pythias Sisters.
After the literary portion of the
evenings program was completed re.
freshments were served in the hall
the Pythian Sisters assisting the
committee who had this feature in
charge. Three kinds of sandwiches
pickles, punch, etc., were served. The
committee of the Knights on this oc.
casion was composed of Messrs
George Rentz, Henry c. Raysor anc
Charles Goddard, while Mrs. George
Rentz and Mrs. Charles Goddard rep
resented the Pythian Sisters, and tt
find how well they carried out the
work of entertainment it is only nee
essary to mention the affair in the
presence of anyone who was so for
tunate as to be present at Castle
Hall last evening. A string banc
furnished music during the banquet.
After refreshments had been serv
ed the guests were treated to an IL
Illustrated history of the story o.
Damon and Pythias, upon which Thu
excellent order is founded. Ster
eopticon views were used while Judgt
Gober followed the scenes with de
scription of this pretty story from
beginning to end.
Among the lodges represented
from out of the city were those o.
Reddick, Fort Mccoy and Martel.
Standing room as Castle Hall wa
at a premium last evening, and thu
whole affair was one grand success
from beginning to end
Not only is the lodge of Knights
constantly growing in membership
but the Pythian Sisters are also (.
lively bunch of workers and this aux
iliary to the lodge is increasing it
membership each month.
Those who attended last evening"
joint social session will long remem
Der it, and eagerly look forward to ;
repetition.

''The best razor strop ever had was
piece of glass" said the boss barber,
as he sharpened the razor with a pull
in it. AN old barber gave it to me,
and / tell you it worked fine. I'm
fortunately I let it fall and broke it,
and have never been able to get one
like it. There's some kink in the
grinding which / can't seem tofigure

is mighty bard thing to find, and l
would give good deal If could only
get that piece of ground glass back
again. It sure did put a cutting edge
on the razor. "-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

A WONDERFUL ANTIsEPT1c

Germs and infection aggravate all
ments and retard healing. Stop that
infection at once. Kill the grms and
get rid of the poisons. For this pur-
pose a single application of Sloan's
Liniment not only kills the pain but
destroys the grms. This neutralizes
infection and gives nature assistance
by overcoming congestion and gives
a chance for the free and normal flow
of the blood. Sloan's Liniment is an
emergency doctor and should be kept
constantly on hand. 25c., SOC. The 81

Thrash Out a
Seattle Case

On a change of venue from

day recited in superior court a
story that would make out her
husband at once slick j. Rufus
Wallingford and a domestic mis-
| fit.
She charges that before mar
riage, she had considerable prop
erty, and he very little. Togeth-
er, she says, they bought the wa
ter system which supplies Pacific
City, King county, and some real
estate.
Then, she declares, their do
nestle troubles began, all on his
account, and when they no longer
, could live together or operate
their little general store AMIGA
bly,, he took over the water plant
and instructed none of the custo-
mers to pay her rents.
The case has been worn to a
fragile in King county, and now
has come here for further deci-
sions.
Slyter says he was a good hus-
band, but was driven from home,
and that he merely took over the
water plant to protect his rights.

Thinks Local
Men Will Land
Cement Order

Although still determined to see
that the county shall have rea-
sonable price offered 1t for the i'm.
mense quantities of cement which
it uses on road and river improve
ments,~ Chairman Slayden of the
county commissioners said today
he was confident that ultimately
local dealers would get the order
for 100000 barrels.
This order is for the joint use
of the city, Pierce county, the city
of Seattle, and the county and
port district of King.
A short time ago, the county
commissioners became convinced
that they were compelled to pay
$1.71 barrel for cement because
Of a dealers combine, and there
fore the various municipalities
met, at invitation of County Com
missioner Reed, and decided to
open bids for this immense order
to the whole country.
Slayden believes that when the
local dealers find out that the
various municipalities mean bust
ness, they will bid themselves on
a more reasonable basis, and prob
ably land share of the business.

Chairman Walsh then said: 81
want to ask you as to your por-
tiers. They get s27.50 a month, |
understand, and supplement it by
Gratuities from the public in order
to earn a living wage. Don't you
think this has a bad moral effect
on them?"
Lincoln answered.: II do not
think 1t affects the morals of por-
ters at all; they would get tips
whatever their wages were, in my
opinion. The colored race, as
We know, were subjected to great
limitations in the past to obtain
employment in this country, and
I believe that outside of the learn
ed professions they got into, the
one large element which has done
most to uplift them is the service
In the Pullman company"
f'Do you think" snapped back
Walsh, that their service in the
Pullman company on the wage
they receive, $3.50 month,
which has had to be supplemented
vi gratuities has done much to
Elevate them?"
thinks They Might Get Too Much.
Fl Lincoln replied: IF there had
been no tips, of course their wages
Hpuld have to be paid, undoubt-
Oily; but the tips are paid with
fAtvregard to the amount of their
wages. My feeling is that II you
increase their wages without in
some way stopping their tips you
simply make a larger income for
them, and the question arises
whether that is desirable to do.
They might soon be earning more
than skilled labor"
Robert T. Lincoln's father an
,swered his objections over SO
years ago in these words. in de-
batting with Douglas at Quincy:
"The negro is not my equal in
many respects, certainly not in
color--perhaps not in intellectual
and moral endowments; but In
right to eat the bread. without
the leave Of anybody else, which
bis own hand earns, he n my
equal and the equal Of Judge
Douglas and the equal Of every
living man."
Commissioners Carretson then
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-05-13

asked: you also testified that
If tips were abolished the COM
pany would have to raise wages
to keep its men?"
Undoubtedly" replied Lincoln.
Commissioner Garretson: IF
that is the case, are not the stock
holders of the Pullman company
the real tip takers?"
To which Lincoln replied: Gas
a mathematical proposition that
would be so.'
Can't Answer, But "Old Abe" Did.
Commissioner O'Connell asked:
"Mr. Lincoln, this commission
has been authorized by congress
to ascertain IL possible the cause
OF industrial unrest. You have to
do with large financial affairs and
the employment of large number
of people. What, in your opinion,
are the underlying causes?"
THAT, of course, is very large
question:" replied Lincoln.
Have you any special opin-
ion?" pressed O'Conneli.
IL would rather be excused
from answering that" said Lin
coin. But the great shadow that
lowered over that room-the only
Lincoln-did it for his son and us
long ago. He said:
1.-The world is agreed that labor
Is the source from which human
wants are mainly supplied. The
strongest bond Of human sympa-
thy outside of the family relation
should be one uniting all working
people of all nations and tongues
and kindred. Every man, black,
white or yellow, has n mouth to be
fed and two hands with which to
feed it, and bread should be al
lowed to 60 into that mans mouth
without controversy. THANK
GOD, WE HAVE A SYSTEM OF
LABOR WHERE THERE CAN
