CURRENT COMMENT
The First New Hampshire.

The First New Hampshire infantry Is
again in the camp at Laredo, after
weeks work on the rifle range. II has
increased its knowledge Of the way they
handle a rifle In the regular army, ana
its members have made some very cred
table scores. incidentally, they nave
captured a genuine southwestern rattier
and heard the morning concert oi the
coyotes. They are getting aeelimated
and they are getting used to the border
manner OF life a. well as the barber
climate.
II is matter OF sincere congratula'
tion both 10 the regiment and the state
which sent il forth that the command
has borne itself 80 well ever since u
was modified at the call OF the presi'
dent. The long delay at Camp Spsuld-
ing was strain upon officers and men,
and camp life at Laredo has had lite IN
evitable trials for thousand northern
ers But the delay here served TO com
plete the preparation OF the regiment
and send il out fully equipped; while
the training begun at Concord has been
carried on and amplifed under the con
ditions of the regular service prevailing
in Texas. II is regiment OF when the
state Justly is proud. Its journey south
was marred by none OF the disorderly
proceedings which reused public eriti'
cism of National Guard organizations
from other states, and everywhere u
showed that il deserved the welcome IL
received At Laredo its conduct has
won official praise and the good will OF
the people of the city, as has been DIS
PLAYED in the newspapers OF the city.
The Unions special dispatches show
that the New Hampshire boys are Keen
" interested in the numerous and con
lieting reports about the probable length
of their service and the duty to which
they may be assigned. II is an interest
which the folks at home share with
them. In many instances the men are
serving with the colors at heavy pc
cuniary sacrifice or at a loss because OF
the disarrangement of plans for profes'
sional or technical training due to the
service. They would, naturally enough,
be glad to return to their occupations IN
civil life; but it is to their credit tnat
we have heard little murmuring. They
went out prepared for fight or frolic,
and they may have found deal OF work
and drilling instead OF either, but they
are not complaining. They are, showing
the true New Hampshire spirit, as, in
deed, the state was confident they would

Tips Again.

The question Of tipping has come up
again; not whether there should be tip
ping, for the evil is firmly established;
but there is discussion concerning the
proportionate amount to the bill in a
restaurant, the expected percentage. The
oracles are consulted. One OF them,
head waiter in a celebrated New York
hotel, says that any waiter should be
satisfied If be were to receive on the
average a tip of 10 per cent. Having
made this statement, the excellent head
waiter, Mr.. Tossatti, student OF hui
man nature as BELTS his calling, com
ments on the foolishness, the extrava-
pance of men. He knows one that gives a
waiter dollar and half for serving
him drink 1t seems that the race OF
splurging idiots did not become extinct
with the death of Coal-Oil Johnny. But
another waiter expects from 10 to 20
cent tip for breakfast, the same for
luncheon, and from 40 to 90 cents for
two persons at dinner.
Since the evil of tipping is now wide
spread, there should be uniformity IN
the practice. As Mr. Tossstti says, the
ostentatious and foolish Upper spoils the
waiter and does grievous injury to other
guests. The extravagant top, however,
may be only an exhibition of shyness on
the part of visitor from small town.
He is in the great city and wishes to be
taken for a citizen of the world. Above
all he is unwilling to be considered igno-
rant or mean He therefore errs on the
side of generosity. His case Is different
from that of the bounder, who wishes
to attract attention, to be constantly in
evidence, and so throws his money right
and left The bounder begins by tipping
the moment he enters the restaurant;
even before that, by tipping the boy
that opens the carriage door. Crossing
the Styx, he would insist on Charon
accepting more than the imposed fee. 1t
is he that causes walters to wax fat and
kick; to be negligent and even inso.
lent towards guests of more modest
bearings Herald.

Gov. Gates emerges from the contest
without loss of prestige or money. He
put up fair and square fight, if fight it
can be called when a man does not enter
actively into the scramble for votes. He
is just as strong with the people of Yer
mont to-day as he was the day before he
cast his lot as senatorial candidate
and, if anything, he has gained in their
respect because of his forbearance under
some ugly insinuations which had no ba.
sis in fact and which were. therefore, un.
warranted. The appearance of Gov.
Gates in the senatorial contest elevated
the contest to a certain extent, or as
much as it was possible to do under Sc.
rous handicaps. Hence his candidacy
was not in vain.

Produces i52 Bushels Wheat Per Acre by
Skillful Cross Breeding.

In Farm and Fireside, there is an ar
ticle about Prof. B. G.. Buffum, who is
taking rank with Edison and Marconi as
practical scientific producer of results.
Prof. Buffum, by disqualification, has
caught and harnessed nature to such a
degree that he has solved the problem of
producing more wheat to the acre. The
writer says:
'In the summer of 1907 Prof. Bufrum
obtained two quarts of winter emmer
from lie [. s. department of agriculture.
In the spring of zoos he found that only
~ plants had survived. among the sur
vivors being few which seemed to be of
different type, with large coarse grow
ing straw and very large composite heads
which were different in appearance and
of darker color than the ordinary ones.
These plants were used by Prof. Buff
FUN as the basis of an improved strain
of winter emmer. With this as basis
the seed was replanted and subjected TO
many experiments to increase its drought
and winter resisting qualities. 1t is per
haps the most drought resistant and pro
life OF all small grains and has been sue
cessfully raised from Montana to Mexico,
and Is being planted IN Louisiana TO re-
place oats because it is not affected by
rust.
Some of the yields recorded are enor-
nous, varying from 40 to lO4 bushels to
the acre under dry farming, and as high
as l52 bushels per acre under irrigation.
In appearance the grain somewhat re-
sembles barley. as il Is bearded and the
berry is held tightly in the hull. which
further increases its feeding value. The
hull is dark in color and the heads large
and heavy. in some instances six or seven
inches long and containing half an ounce
Of grain. The improved emmer is plant
ed in the fall. which enables it TO take
advantage Of the winter moisture and
mature with the minimum amount Of II
rigstion OF rainfall the next season

She led him out into the parlor.

Maria" said the lady, ~ wish you

"Yes'm," said Maria, and her young
man rose and stood In presence OF

parrot on his forefinger and said
number OF things TO him. which the
bird doubtless understood, for he be-
gan to chatter. Then, suddenly fixing
his attention on the lovers, he said
Maria. give me kiss"
Maria colored, and her young man
started
Then followed some rambling talk,
during which the parrot seemed TO
have forgotten the lovers. They were
recovering from bis pertinent remark
when he broke forth anew:
Maria, will you marry me?"
BY this time Mr.. Harkaway had
come through the hall and stood IN
the parlor door, evidently DESTROYS OF
satisfying himself that the parrot was
worth the price asked for him. He
was In time to hear the last words.
"Of course I'll marry you," were the
parrots last words.
Harkaway, pretending that he sup
posed the proposition and acceptance
TO come from the lovers. marched up
10 Maria and congratulated her. Then,
turning to her young man, he said;
you've got mighty good girl, and
she'll make you a mighty good wife.
The young man, instead of looking
disgruntled. seemed pleased. He was
not much OF talker, and smile was
his only response to the congratula-
tions. 1t is quite likely he felt CRATE

Mrs. Harkaway hung back for a
time, not pretending that she had mis-
taken the parrots voice for that OF the
lovers but. seeing that the young man
was disposed to avail himself OF the
birds proposal. she went to Maria and
offered her congratulations.
The Italian was sent away with his
parrot and a FIVE dollar bill to pay for
his exhibition of ventriloquism, for he
had been hired and coached by Hars-
away to bring about what had oc'

Mrs. Harkaway to her husband. J

A Balky Lover
By EIlNOR MARSH

Mr., and Mrs. Harkaways daughter,
Maria, was the one being on earth who
absorbed their interest. All went well
till Maria's affections became centered
on young man, and the young man
was so slow In proposing that Mrs.
Harkaway feared some other girl
would steal him away from her daugh-
ter. The mother kept her fears TO
herself as long as possible, then reveal
ed them TO her husband.

that young fellow who is coming TO
see Maria should either propose to her
or be told not to come TO see her any
more
How do you know that he hasn't

Because when went into the
parlor last evening after he had gone
| asked her, and she said he hadn't"
Does she want him to proposeT
"Of course she does. Do you sup
pose she would let him come and sit
with her twice a week-sometimes
three times unless she expected that
he would ask her to marry himT
Maria is good girl, Do you know
whether he Is a good mani"
Maria says he is as steady as

What do you suppose he's waiting
for?"
Maria says he's natural putter on

some way to help her out

day fatty asked me why didn't mar
~ you or take myself of? l know
verv well that he had taken the words
from your fathers mouth, and 1t
brought me to the scratch. We must
Law some such plan for this young
lover"
That's easier said than done
One evening when the usual spark
ing was going on In the parlor there
was a ring at the front door bell.
Maria went to the door and reported
that an Italian was there with par
rot he said the gentleman had asked
him to bring to him. The man was
admitted TO the living room, and MT
Harkaway said to him:
"You think you have found bird
that will talk, ehT'
"You beta I have"
what is he WORTH
Fifty dolla'."
"Well. let's hear what he can do"
The Italian took the parrot from his
