Joshua Slcum Is officially dead. The
Century Company announces that after
eight yoars, during which the nuthor of
"Sailing Alone Around the World" has not
been heard from. It has paid over the ac
cumulated royalties on the book to his
widow.
Tho Incident reveals an Interesting story.
It was In September. 1908, that the Century
Company nent its last royalty check to Mr.
Hlocuml Tho check came back undelivered,
and upon Investigation It was found that
Slocum had set forth on another of tho soli
tary voyages described In his book. He
had sailed from New lledford In his little
boat, and was said to have been bound for
South America. Word came back some time
later Uiat ho had arrived In Hrltlsh Hon
duras. A further report, never eubstan.
tlated, was that he had been seen tolling
up the Amazon. This was tho last that
any one ever heard or seen of Slocum,
though all these years have elapsed before
U has been regarded as safo to assume
that he Is no longer alive.
It la Interesting to note the rumow. re

"The 1'oet Of Energy" this phrase has

was killed In Itoucit on November 27 while

O. S Gordon, when In 10H ho presented
Verhaeren for his dfgr nt Leeds I'nlvtr

sentative poet of Belgium, "born nnd bred
In tho heart of Flanders." Ho was born In
1555 at Halnt Amniul, on the Kscnut. In
thn ne.ghborhood of Ternionde. and received
his education frum tho Jesuits nt the Col
lege of Halnto llarbo In tlhent. There
Oeorges Ilodenbach wits his schoolfellow
nnd Intimate, and thither n, few yenrs later
came two other boys equally destined to
literary fame, Maurice Maeterlinck and
Charles an I.erlieigho. I-atcr Verhaeren
studied law nt the University of Lnuvnln.
but literature had already claimed him nnd
he flung himself with enorgy Into his des
tined career,
Verhneren's first published volume was
"I,s Fla.nnmles." nnd of tho poetry Mr.
Krnncls Illckley says: "It was such ns wmild
have arrested tho attention of the weariest
critic. Violent, sensuous, Implncabty real

can never bo denied a hearing." Since then
several other volumes of poetry havo been

Mr. Scott tells us that there are 5,000,000
liersons In the United States who derive
their Income In whole nr In patl from
tips, and that they receive between 1300,
000,000 and tSOO.000,000 n year In this
way. He attacks the custom from the
economic and moral point of view and re
views the history of legfctallon to bring It
to nn end. The antl-tlpplng laws of such
States as have them are given, along with
the Massachusetts law. Intended to prevent
the division of cnrnmltfalons between pur
chasing and selling agents. Mr. Scott Is
convinced that tipping should bo nholtshed,
ns It la undemocratic nnd demoralising. He
asks that thoso who ngrco or dfsagree with
him address him nt his home In Padiicah,
Ky., giving Uielr views. He evidently thinks
that he has made n contribution to tho dis
cussion of tho subject which will lead to a
reform of our social customs. Ho has rer
talnly produced n book which contains
much Interesting Information not to be
found elsewhere. Whether It Is possible to
prevent the giving of tips Is not certain.
