But that waa only an Incident This boy, who ought to be Im school, testified that his father died 28 months ago, owing the coal company $50, The boy was working on thie account. He had worked four months and had not received a cent More, His due bills showed that he was deeper in debt than when he began. James Gallagher, an elderly miner, testified.

It ie a servile system that makes the man of weman whe expects and often asks for & tip slavish. But it can't be stopped by law of educated owt of extst- eube se long a* the public is willing and anxious to pay for extra com forts. ‘Tips are the fruit of prosperity and love of lumury. The traveling public and others who come in contact with these who wait are will- ing to pay extra for the thousand ittie things that make life pleasant. ‘They are not chary about making trouble, They fret and grumbie and make life a burden for the small-ealarted Sole who serve them.

You can't upset a custom and negiect to pay the fiddier. The man who starts out to fight tipping finds hie good resolution slipping away from him.

Mie wants are anticipated and he tives Uke @ millionaire. When you feel bad about the money invested in tips, think of roy- aity. ‘The czar of Russia spent a wee at Windsor castic, and slept tm the best bed. He distributed $106,60 among the royal servants Emperor Wiliam attended the funeral of Queen Victoria and was the guest of King Edward, Me left $25,000 for the servants at Windsor and Osterne. When « caar and a king are foreed to bow to custom, what chance haxe ordinary mortals to stop tipping? _ “THE Here are some hammer blows from the pen of Elbert Hubbard, Mr. Hubbard is the great American crank, whe bas done things, and hasn't eared much what the world says about him. In New York state he rune a book shop, with 200 employes, on the Golden Rule plan, and has made it “ge.” What he has to any, coming from 4 successful man, hae weight. Here it is man @ curmudgeon, it may be well for you to ge to the old man and confidentially, quietly and kindly tell him that he is « curmudgeon. Kx- plain to him that his poticy ie absurd and preposterous, Then show him how to reform his ways, and you might offer to take charge of the con- corn and cleanse it of all ite secret faults. “Do thie; or if for any reason you should prefer not, then take your choles of these: Get out, or get in line, You have got to do one or the other—now make your chotce. “If you work for a man, in heaven's name, work for hi If he pays you wages that supply your bread and butter, work for him—speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him and stand by the institution he represents. I think if I worked for a man I would work for him. I would not work for him @ part of the time, and then the rest of the time work against him. I would give an undivided service or none. “If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. “If you must vilify, condemn and eternally dieparage, why, resign your position, and when you are outside, damn to your heart's content, But, L pray you, so long 44 you are @ part of an tnstitution, do not con- demn it. Not that you will injure the institution—not that-—but when you disparage the concern of whieh you are a part, you disparage your- oot.” If you are not the man Mr. Hubbard meant, read it again, anyway.
