Early Protest Against Tipping.

The word Tip" is said to be derived
from the initial letters Of the phrase
ITO Insure Promptness," but as tips
usually follow, instead of preceding,
service, they insure nothing, and as a
consequence anti-tipping crusades are
constantly being threatened. But pro-
tests against tipping are by no means
of modern growth. George /. COM
planned about it when he first came
to the throne-and England. "This is
a strange country" he declared. "The
first morning after my arrival at st.
James I looked out of the window
and saw a park with walks and a
canal which I was told were mine.
The next day Lord Chetwynd, the
ranger of my park, sent me a fine
brace of carp out of my canal, and
/ was told / must give guineas to
Lord Chetwynd's servant for bringing
me my own carp out of my own canal
in my own park"

about Gen. O'Hara, who, as governor

Frost Forests.

One beautiful use his window had,
one glorious use, one enchantment.
In the depth. of winter sometimes of
mornings when he got out of bed and
went to open the shutter, on the
windowpanes would be forest of gilt
tering trees. The first time he beheld
such forest, he stood before it spell
bound; wondering whether there were
silvery birds singing far off amid the
silvery boughs, and what wild crea-
lures crouched in the tall, stiff FROST
grass. From the ice-forests on the
windowpanes his thoughts always re-
turned to the green summer forest on
the distant horizon.-James Lane AL

be formed contemporaneously with the treaty of

fought this war for nothing except treaty OF

United States. OF course, fool who enters upon
the discussion of the problem with the expression

will not unlock any door that was ever even ap-

serious difficulties in forming this federal nation

GOVERNOR LOWDEN AND THE PRESI.
DENTAL NOMINATION NJ "~r

Governor Lowden has invented no mouse trap
and he does not dwell in the woods, but there are
numerous paths leading to the door of his political
domicile, and they are becoming more and more
distinct as they are traversed by persons who see
in him an ideal candidate for the Republican pres-
dental nomination.
One of the latest trails leads from North Da-
kota to the Illinois executives office. 1t was
blazed by a country sheriff, who turned up in
Springfield with faulty requisition papers. He
insisted upon conference with Governor Lowden,
who received him with accustomed cordiality and
in his usual genial way advised the puzzled official
how to correct the errors in his papers so that
they could be recognized by the state of Illinois.
r. Instead of being compelled to go back to his
native state for new papers, the sheriff was en-
abled to revise his legal documents, making sure
Of his prisoner, at great saving Of time, expense
and embarrassment. Naturally, he appreciated the
democratic courteses which were so freely ex-
tended to him.
That's the commonest governor ever met, "
was the sheriff's delighted comment Il wish l
could go back home and vote for him for some
thing. He ought to be nominated for president" +"
It was only an incidental bit of routine in the
days work of the executive office, but it marks
the character of the man who presides over the
destines Of the state of Illinois, and it accounts
for the wonderfully strong impressions Governor
Lowden's personality is making upon the people
with whom he is brought in daily contact.
Whether it is the farmer, the merchant, the
professional man. the working man, the capitalist,
or the humblest individual, all get substantially
similar Impressions of this great Illinois leader.
All alike appreciate his very evident capacity and
availability for the highest office in the land.
They not only realize it. but they persist in talk
ing about it and spreading their infection.
That is why the Republican presidential nomi-
nation seems to be seeking Frank o. Lowden and
beckoning to him. It invites him to come out into
the open and become candidate. Il offers On
opportunity to him which pursues few men He
