w0man'sLove of Social Position.
"Perhaps the fetch to which we wo-
men attach the most undue Importance
10 social position" writes An American
Mother in The Ladies' Home Journal.
I'VE set out with the creed that we are
all equal and then spend much Of our
lives In struggling to force our way
into some petty circle which is barred
against us or to bar our own against
some Of our neighbors. Nothing could
be more ridiculous than the many
foundations on which we Americans
base our claims to aristocracy. The
belief is almost universal that the pos
session Of a certain enormous number
Of millions constitutes a caste which
stands on the level of royalty. But
short of those 'stupendous heaps of
gold money does not always command
precedence here, especially in our
small towns and villages. We are all
OF us ready with our gibe at the new
rich as II our own blood had been pure
a. that of Daimio for thousand years.
Our claims to high caste are often
based upon some mythical Judge or
baronet far in the dim past or that we
live In the most pretentious house In
the village. have known the posses
sion of Grecian portico to give social
ascendency to one family over town
full of neighbors plebeian only in that
they had no porches at all. So vague
yet so strenuous are our ideas Of

Microbes on Doorknobs.

The latest lair to which scientists
have traced the merry microbe is the
doorknob. The organisms thrive on
these lnnutritlous substances, 1t ap-
pears, and In a round of calls one may
collect a variety of germs from the
doors of cabs, houses and trolley cars.
The danger may be obviated by anti
septic gloves. 1t is said; but, consider
ing the uncoBcern with which women
now gather up the bacteria Of the
streets with their sweeping draperies,
one does not expect them to be inordl-
nately nervous about the few organ
isms that may attach themselves to
their fingers.

IN those days, numbering among his ar
dent admirers the attractive and ac-
compliBhed daughter of Mrs. Paran
Stevens.
The grand duke was also smitten
with the charms Of the fair young
American girl. and during boating
party given In his honor he was con-
spicuously attentive to her.
Minnie Stevens went to England q
year or two after the grand dukes visit
to New York, and her beauty created a
genuine sensation, much to the delight
Of her mother.
Many American girls had previously
made successes in English society, but
none had ever been received into the
heart of the royal family as had the be-
witching and beautiful Minnie Stevens.
The recent cementing of Mrs. Paget's
old friendship for the Grand Duke
Alexis is frequently alluded to In high
society circles here, and the still beau
tiful matron attracts more attention
than falls to the lot Of other famous
American beauties.-London Letter.

having on board two motormen, two
conductors, two Pinkerton detectives,

where trouble was feared. The peo-
pie were kept moving, the saloons
were ordered closed and all windows
in the houses were kept shut down.

they reversed arms, smashing the
