The Reconstructed Snob Bsag’jEsrre By ANNIE HINRICHSEN (Copyright, 1913, by Associated Literary Press) Dr. George Moultrie looked up from his hook at the maid who was dusting his study. Severn times it had occurred to him that she was unlike his mothers’ other maids. The tightly fitting black dress showed the lined of a slender, erect young figure. Her hair was brushed tightly back into a hard knot. Her head, with its unbecoming hair arrangement and the white cap of service, was held well back on her shoulders as if the firm, round chin had all the girl’s life been tilted at a pronoufiteed angle. Her hands were small, with long, tapering fingers. They had the roughness of labor, but not the distorted joints of excessive hard work. She ” turned and met his curious scrutiny. Her face reddened and a look of apprehension flashed in her eyes. She whirled around and resumed the wielding of her dustcloth. . That afternoon wild, frightened screams rang sudednly through the house. Dr. Moultrie, bounding down the stairs, saw in the drawing room a cloud of smoke, through which he could distinguish several figures. On the floor near an overturned tea table, whose alcohol lamp had started the Are, lay a woman covered with a rug. Beside her knelt Jane, the housemaid, pressing the rug close about the woman and beating with her hands the flames that shot from under the rug. Around them screamed his mother ■ and her friends. In a moment the fire was extinguished. The injured woman Was the cook, who had ben assisting the maid ,In the drawing room when the table had been overturned. When the cook had been made comfortable in her own room Dr. Moultrie went in search of Jane. He itwir mMiil "TXAWE Q Resumed the Wielding of Her Dustcloth. bund her in the kitchen rubbing oil »n her blistered hands and arms. ~ “What does all this mean?’’ he ask»d abruptly. “What does what mean?” “Who are you and what are you iolng here?” “I am Jane White, a servant in rour mother’s employ.” “You are a servant only through tome whim of your own. I want an explanation.” .for several minutes the maid did lot hpply. Finally she dragged her reluctant eyes up to the man’s keen, rendering ones. “I am Coral Nielson—yes, the Coral Nielson who inherited the great Niellon estate. My parents died when I ras a baby. An aunt brought me up. She was a hard, selfish woman, imbued with the belief that wealth Hakes a class which has no obligations to less fortunate beings. I did jot realize that I had grown up to be t selfish, self-absorbed woman, utterly irithout sympathy for the troubles of romen in other walks of life. “The revelation came to me from a lousemaid. She was the daughter of t farmer, a rosy-cheeked, happy girl, rith no knowledge of class distinctions. One day, when by a particularly cutting remark I tried to show ber the difference in our stations, she lared forth/ All her wholesome pride, her innate self-respect, declared i ier Indignation against any selfish inlolence. She spoke with a dignity ind a grief that uwed me—and awakened me. I saw myself as I was, a sallous, heartless snob. There was me chance of reformation for me, I thought. That was to rouse my heart " to sympathy and love for other wom-

DEFY THE EFFORTS OF MAN Moving Sand Dunes Are the Bane of the Life of Peruvian Railroad Builders. For miles on either side of the track, ts far- as the eye could reach, there was not a green thing to be seen. Although there was no animal or vegetable life, it is not exactly correct to say there was not a living thing, for this Is the home of the medanos, those extraordinary crescent shaped sand dunes that travel across the hard ground of the desert floor (Desert of Arequlpa, Peru), driven by the prevailing southwesterly winds. Each hill Is a perfect crescent, exquisitely drawn, the delicate horns tapering off toward the north away *rQm the wind. They cause the railroad no end of trouble, for, when a medano approaches the track, it must get jacross some way or other. It is of no use to shovel back the horns of the "crescent as they encroach on the rails. lor the main body oi the mound, twenty feet high and sixty feet or ■ more wide, r ill advance just the same !

en.. I determined to see life from th* workers’ side, to know their labors and sorrows. The housemaid taught me her work, and I went out in the world to do it. I have been a housemaid. I shall be a factory girl and learn what they have to suffer. 1 shall be a clerk in a great store where women as cruel as I was shall treat me as a soulless, bloodless automaton. Through the experience of mutual I hardships I shall leam love sympathy for other women.” “You have made a good beginning. It was a working woman whose life you saved at the risk of your own.” “I am glad it was the cook,” she said, simply. “It is a joy to me to .know that I have been kind to at least one working woman.’ .» Several Weeks later Dr. Moultrie, the physician for the Merrivale Mills, found in the room of a patient an amazing transformation. The patient was a young factory operator. For days she had lain In .her poor, bare, little room, ill, discouraged, without hope to stimulate the feebly flickering vital flame. But a change had come to both the room and the girl. There were new white curtains at the windows, rugs on the floor, pictures, flowers, snowy linen. On a table and overflowing on the bed were dresses, hats, shoes and lingerie, dainty, inexpensive clothes carefuly chosen. The sick girl’s cheeks were pink and her eyes were like stars. ■ “I am well,” she announced joyfully. “It is Miss White who has done it.” The girl, unused to a delineation of her deeper feelings,, struggled for words to express the change in her inner being as well as in the externals. “She brought me good things and good cheer, and took away the horrid, dark ugliness of this place, and the bitter, sad thoughts I’ve had all the time. I’ve been working hard. I had to help mother and my younger sister, who was not strong enough to work. All my money went for board and rent, never a dress nor a hat, and never a good 1 time because I was too shabby to go anywhere. Then I got sick and was too discouraged to get well. Miss White worked in the same room with me at the factory. She came to see me and found out all my troubles, and then the sun of good fortune sure began to shine in this poor hut. She knows some rich woman who don’t like to mend their own clothes, and she asked them to bring their things to my mother and sister to be mended. There will be all the work they can do —pleasant work with good pay. She brought me these clothes. She said they had belonged to a girl who could not wear them. It isn’t hard to get well when there’s somebody to make you see that there are kindness and goodness even down 1n this poor suffering corner of the world.” When the employes came from the factory Dr. Moultrie joined a plainly dressed young woman. “I have just come from Mllly Smith,” he said. “You have made her a happy girl and given her a chance for recovery.” “Poor litle Milly. She had a family to support and she also had a sweetheart. She was too good and too unselfish to withhold from her dependent mother and sister any of her wages. She was too proud to go. about with her sweetheart in her rags; neither woiftd she tell him why she would not go out with him. He thought she did not care for him, and he began to look at other girls. Hard work, small wages, dependent rela- i tives <md faithless lover were more than Milly’s strength could bear. Her mother and sister are now self-sup-porting. The next time she sees her young man she will be wearing pretty clothes and showing him that she is willing to go to picture shows and beach dances with him.” “And Coral Nielson has done this,” said Dr. Moultrie. “The woman who had no love nor sympathy for poor women, who knew nothing of ‘their sorrow’s and desires, has done this for a poor factory girl. Coral —Jane —I have been watching you ever since , you left my mother’s house. I have known the work you have done among these people. But, Coral, there is a better work you can do, one which will rouse to the greatest activity all the womanly virtues you are so anxious to develop. This work is to love a man who loves you and marry him. I love you, Coral, dear. I have loved you ever since I saw you extinguishing the cook’s fire. Do you think you could learn to care for me?” “Jane White, the reconstructed snob, has learned many hard things. I think she can learn one beautiful easy one.” Many Planets Added to List. During the year 1911 fifty-eight small planets were discovered, but eight of these were found on examination to be identical with bodies previously observed, so that on balance there .are fifty asteroids to be added to the family that circulate around the sun between Mars and Jupiter. Os these, more than thirty were discovered at Heidelberg, the next largest contribution coming from the Transvaal observatory at Johannesburgh.—The Athenaeum.

and must be helped along.—From “Across South America,” by Hiram Bingham. Adopting a Child. There was a touching humility in the case of an elderly unmarried lady living in New York state who felt that she was handicapped for the role of foster-mother by what she believed to be her unprepossessing exterior. On applying to the association for a child to “love and leave her property to,” she asked that the youngest baby available be chosen for her. An older child, she explained, might be repelled by her plainness of feature, but a baby would easily learn to love her. Even more sharply defined was the motive of a Cambridge spinster who wanted a child, not to satisfy a senti« / mental yearning, but quite simply “to educate” —perhaps a not uncommon pasclon. —Harper’s Bazar.

IS 1 BIGJUILOER Forty Thousand Dollars a Day Spent for Structures. Uncle Sam Invests Sum of $12,000,000 Outside City of Washington on Construction Work—District* Dotted with Edifices. Washington.—The sum of $12,000,000 a year is spent by the national government outside of the city of Washington, for the construction of public buildings. Sandy, a frugal person in red whiskers coming down from the lakes, complained that he bad not been in Glasgow four hours when bang went a sixpence. Bang goes $40,000 every working day in the year for new postoffices and courthouses, and Uncle Sam actually smiles as he foots the bills and signs his good name to fresh contracts. Prudent men in Congress, having dotted their districts with free edifices, say that it is time the orgy were halted. Many a fierce watchdog of the treasury goes suddenly’ blind and mislays his vpice when his constituents evince a healthy deisre for an appropriation. But the “orgy” as a matter of fact has just begun. There are thousands of towns in the country with grass-grown streets that are demanding postofflces of their own, on the steps of which, at once an exchange and a forum,; the male citizens may congregate in pleasant weather. Nor the members of Congress hailing from large cities consistently deny public buildings to what may be called the rural regions. So far, since the organization of the government, the National Capital excluded, $160,373,000 has been spent on courthouses, customhouses and postoffices, and $44,000,000 for land on which to put them. Most of the money has been expended in the great centers of population. The customhouse in New York, for example, cost $7,140,000— $2,240,000 for the land and $4,900,000 for the building. Os the two hundred and odd millions of money spent altogether, twen-ty-five and a third millions, or about 12% per cent, has been distributed in the Empire State alone. Nor can Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Denver or San FYancisco grumble and put a good face on it when Hell’s Oven, out in the iron and steel country, asks SIO,OOO for a postoffice. Neither can Cleveland, where $4,000,000 was spent on a single building, $146,000 going to a private architect for plans and supervision, $14,000 to John W. Alexander for mural painting, $30,600 to Frank D. Millet, who was drowned in the wreck of the Titanic, for decorative painting, and $12,000 to E. H. Blashfield for putting pictures on the walls and ceilings of the Circuit Court room. Small towns will keep on asking for appropriations and. the money will be voted. The rivers and harbors bill is not the only pork barrel in Congress, Moreover, the enemies of a greater navy rather shrewdly say that the sum spent for a battleship, about $lO,000,000, would pay for 200 buildings costing $50,000 each. The naval establishment, they declare, requires about $140,000,000 annually, which is within $20,000,000 of the total cost of all the public buildings in the country, those In Washington not included. There are 175 buildings under construction at this time, and 250 more, the cost of which will be $35,000,000, have been authorized by Congress and will be started as soon as the $12,000,000 a year set aside for the purpose becomes available. In the opinion of Secretary MacVeagh of the Treasury, no more than $1,000,000 a month should be expended for building purposes in the present state of the nation’s finances. It will require three and a half years, consequently, to complete the buildings already authorized. Meanwhile, Congress will have legalized the construction of many others. Since 1906, three bills providing for buildings to cost $102,000,000 have been enacted Into law. Therefore, while Congress authorizes an expenditure of $20,000,000 a year, Secretary MacVeagh is only spending $12,000,000. NEW FOOD POSSIBILITY. “Eat sparrows; when boned, broiled, buttered and served on toast, they are as fine as quail.” This is the latest advice of Uncle Sam to help his nephd'ws. and nieces reduce the high cost of living. The' department of agriculture has Issue a comprehensive pamphlet on the English sparrow, condemning him as a harmful pest, and concluding with a number of recipes for his preparation for the kitchen. Most of the pamphlet Is devoted to demonstrating the harmfulness of sparrows and telling how to kill them. “English sparrows,” says the report, “are noisy, filthy and destructive. They drive’ native Birds from villages and from homesteads. Though they are occasionally valuable as destroyers of noxious insects, all things considered, they do far more harm titan good. Practical methods of dealing with then* include destruction of nests, shooting-trapping and poisoning. Os these trapping is unquestionably the best. English sparrows are good to eat and their use as food is recommended because of their nutritive value and as a means of reducing their numbers.” in specifying methods of preparation for the kitchen, the bulletin gives the following directions for dressing the little culprits: “Cut off the legs, the wings at the outer joint and neck close to, the body; strip off the skin, beginning at the neck; make a cut through the body wall extending from the neck along the backbone till the ribs are severed, .then around between the legs to the tall, and remove the viscera. Sparrows may be cooked by any one of the methods employed for reed bird and quail.” DO NOT KNOW FLAGS. An example of how little women l«aliy use their eyes is found among tlL' D.. A. R. A particular test was i

applied the other week to them, which probably holds good In any other organization of the same number of women. The President of the United States honored them highly by speaking from the platform in Continental Hall, and, as Is the custom when the President is to appear before an audience, his flag flanks the Stars and Stripes upon the wall at the rear. A half dozen of the D. A. R. were asked by the writer afterwards if they had noticed the President’s flag, which brought an answer from every one of them that they did not know that such a flag existed. Notwithstanding the fact that this great scarlet -flag, with its star-shaped wide band, inside of which is the great seal of the United States and in the indentations around which are the 48 stars, representing the states, hung a whole day above the platform. Each and every design on this beautiful flag Is done In the most exquisite embroidery, the flag being some 15 feet long. How on earth so unusual a banner could hang before the eyes of two or three thousand women one whole day and Its presence not be noted is more than one is able to say. It shows, however, that patriotic women are not so very patriotic after all. It they were really what they try to make believe so unusual a thing as a flag or banner absolutely unknown to them could not wave before them throughout a long day without their making some inquiry as to what it represented.—Exchange. “ARTICLES OF WAR” REVISED. A general revision of “the Articles of War,” under which the army has been governed for more than a century, has been completed by Judge Advocate-General Crowder. Secretary Stimson approves the work and is anxious to see the ne'w “articles” put into operation by act of Congress. Gen. Crowder has retained provisions of the old code which have withstood the test of experience, correcting unsystematic and unscientific features. One of the most important changes is an Intermediate disciplinary court to deal with cases midway between offenses calling for dismissal, dishonorable discharge or court martial and minor offenses. CLIFF DWELLERS. The Smithsonian Institute is virtual, ly a clearing house for the information of the world upon the subject ot cliff dwellers. Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, who, perhaps, knows as much about cliff dwellers and cliff dwellings as any man in the world, has compiled a fund of interesting information upon the subject. This information shows that the cliff dweller is not a thing of the past. Today he exists in many parts of the world, and Ithe monuments that he has left show that in times past his habitat has girdled the earth. Within the bounds of our own country and in Northern Mexico he is found still as of old, with his-life, his character and ideals little different from those of his forefathers who lived thousands of years ago.

AIRSHIP COMPASS. The government has applied for a patent on what it is believed will be a practical compass to permit the safe and accurate navigation of an airship either in fog or at sea. The Instrument is the invention of Capt. Washington I. Chambers, in charge of the aviation work of the navy. “This instrument,” said Capt. Chambers yesterday, “Is another of the class which deserves special attention in advancing the interests of safe flying. Cecil Grace would have appreciated such an aid in his unfortunate channel flight." Details are withheld by the Department for the present. The Determined Revealer. The late A. L. Williams, of Topeka, general attorney for the Union Pacific, was once on a trip with a party of friends in a private car. While in Denver one of the party, a man of convivial habits, came in the car late one night and found Mr. Williams playing solitaire. The convivial one was enough under the influence of liquor to be talkative and proceeded to tell Mr. Williams a long story of his domestic unhappiness. The next morning, when sober, he mentioned the fact that he had talked too much the night before and requested that anything he might have said would not be repeated. Mr. Williams, in order to relieve the man’s embarrassment, said: “That’s all right; I never listened to you and have no idea what you said.” That night the man returned in the same condition. Looking sternly at Mr. Williams, he said: ( “Now, durn you, you said you didn’t listen to me last night, so I’m going to tell you the whole story again, and you’ve got to listen.”—Kansas City Star. “Love Me, Love My Dog.” The women who believe In these sentiments will be made happy by one of the new luxurious valises in which to place the pampered pet while traveling. The valises are lined with white goat fur and are real nests of comfort. A series of holes in the side admit plenty of fresh air, while at the other side of the valise is a species of grill or wire lattice work which enables the dog to see all that is passing. Usually the valise Is of leather, with its owner’s name and address on an engraved brass label, and there are leather handles to enable it to be car< ried easily in the hand. Did His Duty Nobly. When the meningitis epidemic broke out in Texas it was necessary that the serum to combat the disease be administered by one familiar with its use. Dr. Sophlan—the physician chosen—was sent to the field from New York. A few days later he was in the midst of the epidemic, working twenty or more hours a day, bending all his energies to the humanitarian work he was sent to perform. “When medical men work like this and fall a prey to disease, exposure or strain w« honor them as martyrs,” says the Journal of the American Medical asao elation.

Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTOHTA lias met with, pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tho result of three foots; First— The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second— That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio and does not stupefy., It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health, i The day ( for poisoning :innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end.
