From the Louisville Courier Journal.
About the worst mob yet was that one
at Lima, o., which outraged Sheriff
Eley whose only offense was that he
had been man enough to do his sworn
duty as an officer Of the law. Those
papers which specialize on mobs in the
south might make note that Linn. O..

rHE old question, "How much to
j tip the waiter?" has been the
theme of endless arguments, but is AS
brisk and as hard to settle as ever.
People who habitually dine in restau-
rants don't agree among themselves,
so there is lit
Concerning the Size tie to guide the
of Walters Tip occasional pat
ron who, being
somewhat dazzled by the environ
ment in which he finds himself, loses
all sense of discretion and hands the
waiter five times as much as that
worthy deserves.
Expert opinion, however, hovers
around 10 per cent of the bill. The
average waiter will be satisfied with
that amount, in majority of cases.
But there can be no fixed rule. A 10
per cent tip in one place-unless the
bill is very large-will be swept off
with the bread crumbs in another,
more gilded resort.
And when person of moderate
means has given all he can afford and
more to placate Henri, his table is
apt to be taken next by flashy gen.
tleman with double chin and several
huge diamonds sprinkled about his
person, whose lavish donation makes
his predecessor look like a veritable
tightwad and spoils the waiter for life.
x RATH E. distressing story
IA comes from Estes Park, Col,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes were
guests of certain hotel. The break

particular hostelry. The distinguished
visitors failed

Kitchen"
After some argument, pro and con,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes were given
scanty breakfast, of the LEFTOVER"
variety, it is said. To make matters
worse, the gentleman managing the
Hughes tour says the party was given
an INSIDE" table so that it was i'm
possible for them to get glimpse of
mountain scenery while eating.
If the story is true, the manager of
the hotel is evidently not Hughes
admirer. Maybe he would have
treated Mr.. Wilson better, but it is
even more likely that he would have
turned his house upside down for Col
onel Roosevelt, whom westerners still
find irresistible.

Destructive criticism is easy but it
should make little impression on men
who think. Constructive legislation is
what the country needed and no party
has ever written SO many constructive
acts on the statute books in the short
space of three and half years as the
democrats of the Sixty-third and Six
ty-fourth Congresses have done.

said Joseph Saks, a prominent bust
ness man of Tuscaloosa, who was at
the Burt hotel yesterday. Those peo-
pie in that section of the country as

until the war ends, but then / expect
