The terms "walking stick*’ sad
“ cane” ere practically synonymous.
Some one has said, "A t twenty we
oarry a switch, at thirty a cane, and
at sixty a stick.** The word “ cans“
cane**
originally meant a reed, in which
the whole is made up o f segments
or parts, ss in rattan or bamboo»
but through usage the original
meaning has been lost and the word
has come to mean a walking stick.
Just why do men oarry canes?
W ell, there are various reasons. The
cane still retains some o f its origi­
nal usefulness, bring a weapon of
defense, i f need be, as well as an ac­
cessory o f attire.
A well known doctor has said:
“ Carry a walking stick and you will
never be round shouldered or have
your chest in your back, instead o f
in its proper place. I t stands to
reason,“ he continues, “ that a walk­
ing stick pulls your arm back and
your chest forward, whereas those
who do not carry a stick o f some
sort don't know what to do with
their hands, So they pot them in
their pockets and simply slouch
along anyhow.*’
Aside from its use as a support
and guide for the lame, the halt
and the blind, therefore, the cane
has a distinct reason fo r being.
Even from a psychological stand­
point, i f we agree with L ots« in his
“ Microcosmes,“ the cane fu lfills s
tpiseion. L otie says, “ Every stick
which we uss not as s support, but
as a toy to be carried in toe hand,
awakens the same consciousness o f
a prolongation o f our personality to
its extremity.1**
In other words, our personality
goes out to the tip o f the cane and
to the top o f the hat, and we al­
ways feel dressed up i f we curvy a
