TO BE OF USE ~ THE WORLD

TO BE or USE IN THE WORLD.
When Barbara started that after
noon with Mrs. Ward for Mrs Nane's
to meet with her in conference, she had
no plan OF any kind worked cut. even
in the yacuest outline. She had told
Mrs. Ward what Mrs. Nane had said be-
fore and asked her whether she was
willing 10 go with her. Mrs. Ward was
very willing. and Barbara gave her
credit for being as much interested as
any woman might be expected TO be in
anything that was not even Thought
out far enough 10 be rightly called
+confereuce.'
Mrs. Nanc met them with her usual
bright greeting, and again Barbara
Felt the sharpness of her look.
I've asked Hiida 10 come in for a
little vhi,c this afternoon. She docsn',
want TO stay very long. and had rath-
r hard work to persuade her TO come
4 ALL She's shy. Mrs Ward. how's
your headache? Or maybe this isn't
your day for having one. don't won-
Ter your girls have trouble with YOU.
You're $50 nervous with your head
aches that wouldn't venture 70 work
for You short of ten dollars week in
dvauce. ! wonder Miss Clark has
stayed as long as She has"
All this the old lady said with as
'onishiug rapidity and with a frank
ness that amazed Barbara and made
Mrs. Ward laugh.
Miss Clark is learning TO put up
with me. think, Mrs. Ward said. with
n kindly look at Barbara, who was
pleased.
40, ! should think So" said Mrs.
Vane, looking sharply from one TO the
other. You don't either Of YOU have
many grievances, imagine Sit right
here, IIilda.' she exclaimed as the
girl Barbara had met on Sunday came
into the room. You remember Mrs.
Ward and Miss Clark, Hilda? We met
them last Sunday"
Hilda sat down awkwardlv- in the
seat indicated by Mrs. Nane. and there
was a moment Of embarrassed silence.
Hilda was dressed 20 go out. and Bar
bara could not help wondering hoy- far
the girl understood what the meeting
was about. She began 10 feel little
angry at Mrs. Nane, without knowing
inst why, when that good woman very
frankly cut across the lots Of all pre-
,iminaries by saying: "Now, then.
iiilda, you know well enough what /
sked you TO come in for. We want 10

Ward house. 'ai IRA was surprised 70
find, when she came in 10 serve the
first course, that Alfred Ward had UNI
eXpcctcdly arrived. He had spcnt two
months of his summer vacation with
college assmates on the lakes, and
had returned sooner than his mother
had expected, 10 stay until the term
opened again.
ARTHUR, this is Miss Clark, about
whom | have written YOU Mrs. Ward
said, little awkwardly.
The young man looked at her with
interest. and bowed politely barbara
returned his bow simply, and did not
speak. She felt a little annoyed as
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1901-09-27

a tone that barbara did not think
very encouraging. They walked ou a
distance without speaking. Then
Barbara became conscious thatacross
the street, nearly opposite, the young
man who had come into the store
was walking, and Hilda knew il as
we'll
Barbara looked ar the girl again
and the look determined her next
question, even at the risk OF loosing
what little hold she might have on
Ililda.
Il am going 10 turn down here 10
Mrs. Wards. She said as they reached
corner and stopped A. they
stopped. barbara saw the young man
linger and finally stop in his course.
'Ihope YOU won't misunderstood me"
Barbara continued. looking into Hill
da's face with great frankness. But
does your young gentleman friend
visit YOU frequently al Mrs. Vane'S ?'
Hilda turned red. and at first Bar
bara thought she was about - give
an angry reply. Instead of that she
began to laugh a little.
ayes. he calls sometimes. He's in
the packing-house ON night force"
Barbara looked at IIilda earnestly a
moment. then abruptly turned. saying
"Good-bye." as she left. She did not
look back, but was as certain rs if she
had that the young man had instantly
crossed the street and Joined Hilda.
and what business is it OF mine if
ne has?" Barbara vcXed herself with
the question as She walked along. 81
am glad she said h. called. Mrs. Nane
must know it. What business is il OF
mine If the girl meets him this way7
He probably has very little other time.
Shall 4. girl out at service have no So
ciety, 40 company? O. the whole thing
is OF a miserable piece with the entire
miserable condition of service. What
is TO prevent girls like IIildG throw
ing themselves away on young men
like this one? And who is either 10
blame her or care one way or he other
if she does? And what possible pros
pcct is there for me or any one to
change the present condition OF
things p"
Barbara walked slowly back TO her
work. depressed by the events of the
afternoon. What. indeed. could she do,
if, as Mrs. Nane said, the very people
that needed 10 be helped into better
ways of living did not care TO be
helped; if, like IIilda. they saw no far
Their and cared no more for better
things than the little episode Of the
store and the young man suggested.
She felt so helpless in view of future
progress that when she went up 90 her
room that evening she was in great
need Of comfort. and i'm her search for
the passages having servants in mind
she came upon that one in Titus, sec
ond chapter, ninth verse:
"ENhort servants 20 be i'm subsection
to their own masters and to be well
pleasing 10 them i'm all things: not
gainsaying; not purloining; but show
ing all good fidelity; that they may
adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour
in all things."

A Rare Treat.

The people Of Junction City were
treated to an intellectual feast last night
By Prof, John P. Meakin, Of salt Lake
City, that viii long be remembered by
those who heard him. We doubt II
there was one in the audience, Tu4n,
woman or child, who did not 90 home
feeling better and happier for having
heard the lesson Of life from the lips Of
this ncble and gifted man.
The North Yamhill Record has this To
say Of Professor Meakin:
lie is gentleman, an orator,
scholar, an artist ard warm friend to
all mankind, and his beautiful word pie
tr1es stir the intellect, quicken the soul,
touch the heart and arouse TO action
those qualities Of goodness which lie
dormant in so many human hearts.
Would there were more John P. Mea-
kiEs."

Correspondence
HARRISBURG.

TO the Editor;
Harrisburg NJ this time, On the sub.
ject of electric lighting, has eliminated
10 d great extent, the drawbacks
which have heretofore operated with
such sitting effect We have had 30
contend with an element Of obgtruetioh
Oh the inside, and exactions from tbe
outside that has had almost paralyz'
ing effect on those disposed 10 try for o.
bettcrment Of conditions. Now. We
have new plan upon which slccess
seems possible and that Harrisburg peo-
pie desire 70 discuss with the people Of
Junction City, viz: That the people oi
the two cities organize a company 70
build and operate lighting plant. IL
In pointed out that this plan would in
sure 10 the Subscribers, light ct the cost
OF production, and, too, under such ar
arrangement the absolute control would
he with the congumer. This would GER
tainly afford better protection on lines
Of economy than could be expected from

would be TO make profit off OF con-
sumers. This Is plain business prop0-
