THE SERVANT PROBLEM.

10 THE EDITOR OF The TIMES: For
It's advancement in every way, mate
rally, socially and morally, the city of
Roanoke owes probably more to it's en-
terprising and public spirited news
papers than to all other causes COM
bined. The press of our city has ever
shown itself ready to lend it's columns
for the discussion of any and every
subject that concerns the welfare of lis
citizens, and it is the knowledge of this
fact that emboldens mo now to address
you upon a subject that is seriously
engaging tho attention OF every house
holder in our city.
Inc burning question of the hour
with them, at present is: Canno remedy
be found for the almost entire unrelia-
bllty, untruStworthiness, and incf
nclencY OF those whom we are compelled
to take into our house h dc s as domestic
servants. cooks, nurses, etc.? The fact
IS our wives and daughters are simply
worn out and in despair, and the time
has come when some remedy must be
found, or we shall be compelled to aban-
don llving in our own homes and resort
to hotels, flats, etc.
These servants, ''sO-called," are now
really our masters. They come and 20
just as they please. They will not sub
NIT to being taught anything; their
manner is inSolent and defiant; thew
have no regard for con tracts or promises;
they leave without a word of warning.
and often at the most inopportunc time
without the slightest provocation; they
submit to no rcbukc, however mildly
administered. Is there no help for us,
An idea has suggested itself to me, and
as havo found on mentioning the sub.
ject to others, some Of them our most
prominent citizens, that I am by no
means the only one to whom tho idea
has come. That is, that Il united effort
to obtain-say fifty or nut rc-as the case
may require, of Swedish or German
girls for our domcstics. These girls
como to this country for the express
purpose of entering upon such service.
They have been trained at hon for
such service and they recognize the
difference in station between the en-
ployer and the employed.
The trouble is that none of us know
the proper steps to take to secure these
girls. They are arriving daily at Castle
Garden. | suppose, of course, they arc
obtained through the commissioners of
immigration, but how? Do you know?
Does anybody in Roanoke know? If so,
let the answer be given in the press of
the city. If necessary let us call a
meeting of our citizens and discuss the
matter thoroughly, and find out how TO
proceed in the matter

else to do" But us this reminded her
OF her work, she stopped fondling him,
and grooming softly, swaycd back and
forth in the crcaly rocking chair.
Baby popped his thumb into his mouth,
sucked it vigorously for moment, then
grew quictcr and quietcr. Mother
rocked more and more slowly, and at
last sure that his majesty was sound
asleep, rose and laid him carefully
down in the rough oal<cn cradle. She
tucked up the blanket and stood for n
moment patting him and gently jog
ging the cradle. Bruno came from his
place by the fire and polxcd his black
nose inquiringly into baby's rosy face.

Wadsworth babe him: mo, no, sir! Go
lie down." Then she built up the big
fire. gave knowing little poke to the
tat loavcs, took her knitting, and, with
one foot on the rocker, settled herself
for quiet afternoon.
She glanced around her coy kitchen
with a smile of approval. TO be sure,
the frontier home in the wilds of New
York State was not like old Connccti-
cut, but then it was snug and CHEEKY

this, at any rate" she said, gazing
musingly into the ruddy Goals ''Thcy
said n pioneer life would be SO hard,
but it isn't-very, and then have Jack
to myself so much, and l couldn't do
that at home" and the dimplcs crept
around the loving mouth. But with
something very like sigh the girl
mother whispered to baby: 'Tf it only
wasn't quite SO far away so that your
grandma could see you once before you
arc big boy"
Pausing in her meditations, she list
encd moment and then glanced from
the winter sunshine ON the floor to the
little Dutch clock on the shelf, saying
aloud: "Why! only three o'clock and
the cows coming home already! Jack
said he had put their fodder in the little
pasture where they would be sheltered
from the wind"
She rose and went to the window,
murmuring: Perhaps wolf has fright
ened them. Well, the gates are open
and they've gone into the yard"
Baby, reused by her exclamation, ut
tered sleepy protest at being walked
from his nap for even the most aston
ishing cause; SO, sitting down, she
hushed him to sleep again and then
went on with her knitting, saying sage
": 81 need not worry, if it is anything,
1t won't come into the clearing by day.

Beyond tho western verge OF duy,
And slowly DER the darkencd world
Tho stars como forth in bright orrny-
When Venus hides her burning face
Upon old Oceans troubled breast,
Or, weary OF his march through space,
Mars camps behind the mountain crcstt
The sailor on the moonlcss sen,
The pilgrim OF the trackless plain,
Tho bondman painting TO be FREQ,
Turn northward and take heart again;
For there, above unmeasurcd heights,
An emblem OF eternal truth.
Unchanged amidst the changing lights,
The North Star lifts her crown OF youth.
Sclf-ccntered In the boundlcss blue,
Calm dwcllcr OF thcfvast unknown,
Forever tender, strong and true
Sercnely from her distant throne
She gazcs down the voiceless deep
While worlds nre drifting at her foot
And mighty consultations sweep
Around her like I'm endless fleet;
The Northern Lights across her fling
The glory of their dancing spears.
The Morning Stars beneath her sing
The chorus of Creations years
And while the systems sink and rise
And planets to each other nod
The light streams from her TRANQUIL eyes
AS stcadfast as the love Of Cod.

w. l.. L. Quinn, of tho firm OF Peck L.
Quinn, who have been doing business as
real estate agents in this city for some
time, disappeared yesterday morning
with s3i belonging to the firm.
Quinn drew the money from the bank
where it was deposited and also col
lccted another bill due the firm. He
did not make known his intentions of
leaving to any one, and for this reason
his partner, c. II. Peck, believes he has
absconded.
Mr.. Peck went to Justice IIowerton
yesterday and laid the facts before him,
but the justice declined to issue war
rant on tho grounds that charge Of
cmbezzlement could not be substantial
ted from the fact that one member has
legal right to handle all the funds be-
longing to firm.
Mr. Peck then went to Justice Will
liams and procured warrant, which
was turned over to the chief Of police
for execution.
The warrant charges him with steal-
ing and carrying away SIT, Mr.. Peck's
portion OF the bank account.
