The Deep Disgrace of Being Useful.


 Alma Servine is the daughter of reasonably we'll. to-do Nebraska people, who sent her to Omaha to study music, for which she had talent. She grew in musical skill, and was invited to the homes of her fellow students, un- till
 It was discovered that Alma Servine was tiding over a scarcity of funds by working for wages and the use of a piano in private family in Omaha.
 And then those daughters of western republicans" and 'democrats' gave the world d proof of the deep disgrace it has become, even in the laboring west, to be useful. They dropped her from their visiting lists. They cut her with all the cruelty of girl bar barism. They objected to her con- taminating presence in the studio, and the music master for self protec- tiop told her and asked her to come at times when they were not there.
 Then Alma Servine gave her demon stration of the awful thing "socety" is prone to deem the crime of useful ness. That is, the poor girl went mad actually insane-and between spells of destroying the written music, i'm provising on the piano, declaring that she was musician, ''not hired girl" sine raved and baboied, and finally went to the state insane asylum pro- nounced incurable.
 So the story goes, of life ruined by the consciousness of crime-the crime of being useful. There is not one American family in million which is even one generation removed from shirt sleeves and kitchen apron, save among southerners and they are re- turning to the regalia of labor.
 We as a people are descended from the poorest of European peasantry. The lime of toll is in our bones, the weight of labor in our tists-and the common sense of labor should be in our brains. It is not aristocratic blood, nor proud descent, that makes us such snobs and fools and cads and toadies as we must be to rear girls that would drive fellow student crazy with scorn for her serving. It is-it must be- that, conscious of our own peasant or igin- and ashamed of tive drive our selves to hostility against social equality that people of descent from real "gentility" would not feel. We have no capital in ''society" save what We ourselves have scraped together in one generation, and if we lose that by association with Servant girls" we lose all. In ''descent" we are so near bankrupt that we must be tex elusive" or the world will suspect.
 Suspect. Why, the world knows that those Omaha girls-and the same would have been true in any other American city-are themselves the daughters or granddau ghters of women who worked In kitchens, and scrubbed and mopped and washed-and did it for wages if they got the chance.
 The sad thing is that even in the democratic west the virus of snobbery seems to have gone so deep. For every step along this aristocratic road will l. I. i,1 l.n day when all will serve, and when the ones who refuse to serve will be the outcast and espised.-Globe Silver Belt.

Southwest Mining and Smelling Company's
 Property Will be Sold.

A special to the Daily Mining Rec ord from Orogrande, New Mexico, says: Notices of the sale of the smell ter, mining claims and all other assets of the Southwest Mining and Smelling company, under the receivership, have been posted in Orogrande and Otero county. Sale will occur Jan. 6.
 This sale notice is given under the name of Frank P. Divilbliss, commis- sioner. The sale notice recites the fact that the Southwest Smelling and Refining company has been adjudged indebted to the Collins Bond and h. vestment company to the extent of l36, ,OOOS, with interest on same from April. A. D., 1907, at the rate of 5 per cent per annum.
 The property offered for sale in- cludes long list of lots in the town of Orogrande; buildings on the townsite; mining claims, and leases on mining claims; buildings at Brice; buildings at Lucky mine; shelter plant equipment, mining plant equipment, hot plate furnace, water rights, reservoir sites and shelter site, water plant equip. ment, supplies and St. Joseph (Mo. J office equipment.
 The Southwest Smelling and Refin- ing company was thrown into the hands of receiver and all work stop ped last spring. The panic was large ly responsible for this condition of the affairs of the company. As an addi- tional hardship the fact that the smell ter had only been blown in the latter part of 1907, and that the camp was nearly in the preliminary develop ment stage was sufficient to put the company to the wall.
 For some time there was hard struggle made by the president J. G.. Green, to put the company on its feet again and to resume operations, but the long drawn out depression right in the face of the national election proved too strong force against him, and through friendly arrangement Mr. Green was appointed receiver, since which time he has been endeav- bring to straighten out the affairs of the company with the final result of the sale order as noted.
 The mining men of the district are naturally very anxious to see the bus mess settled up, the property shaped up and again started, as the closing down of the shelter and the mines of the Southwest company have been a serious handicap to the district.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE

Warning of Trouble to Come.

When it is the morning after the
night before you do not have to look
at your tongue to know that the
stomach is upset the head is aching
with dull RI, thin and that all the
world looks black and drears.
1t may have been lobster Newburgh,
Welsh rarebit or some other tasty disn

the morning If er. There is no need
to look at the tongue thermometer
then for symptoms of trouble. You
naturally go to your box of Miona
,tomach tablets and with one of the
little TT levers bring JOY and gladness
to the physical system.
Tie real time to watch the tongue
10 all of the time. II 1t is coated with
white fur or possibly with dark
trimmings even though the stomach
does not tell you by tile acute pains OF
indigestion that il needs help yet the
coating shows that you are getting

Some remarkable stories are being
told about town and among the
country people coming in'Of this sim
pie homemade mixture curing Rheu-
mstism and Kidney trouble. Here is
the 'ecipe and directions for taking
Mix by shaking well in bottle one-
half-ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon. three
ounces Con round Syrup Sarsaprilla.
Take rs dose one-teaspoonful after
meals and at bedtim'.
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty Of good
water. This mixture, writes one
authority in a leading Philadelphia
newspaper, has peculiar tonic effect
upon the kidneys; cleansing the
clogged up pores Of the eliminstive
tissues. forcing the kidneys to sift
aud strain from the blood the uric acid
aud other poisonous waste matter,
overcoming Rheumatism. Bladder and
Urinary troubles in short while.
A New York druggist who has had
hundreds Of calls for these ingredients
since the first announcement 10 the
newspapers last October stated that
the people who once try it "swear
by it," especially those who have
Urinary and kidney trouble and
suffer with Rheumatism.
The druggists IN this neighborhood
say they can supply the ingredients,
which are easily mixed at home.
There is said to be no better cleansing
agent or system tonic, and certainly
none more harmless or simple to use.

CITY LIFE A DELUSION.
Old lnhsbitant Thinks Country Town,
Offer More Happiness.

She' "S'o ''aPPHHSoos
up at the depot just now" said one
Of the old inhabitants. Il saw severa
Of the boys get or the train to spenC
the holidays at home. They've come
back to the old town from the city
and I'll bet my bull pup against their
turkey dinner with thS home folks
that most Of 'em would remain right
here In town II they were not asham.
ed to say that city life is not up to
their expectations. And between you
and me and the barn door | am
strongly inclined to think that nine
out Of ten OF the boys who go from
any country town to a big city would
make better winning in the race OF
life If they would stay at home and
grow up with their own community.
81 went to the city when | was n
cub and stayed several years. But |
was homesick all the time. The young
fellow in a great city holding Job
and working so many hours a day for
somebody else is not by any means in
such an enviable position as some of
the people still In the country towns
are inclined to think.
IL recall that when | was living in
the city many years ago. working on a
salary for famous establishment the
local paper here once printed notice
about me that made me laugh out of
one side OF my mouth while cried out
OF the other. According to the home
paper, was on the highroad to for.
tune in the city was holding n
highly responsible post with a great
concern and making good, and all that
sort OF thing. The facts as to my re
sponstblc position were all right but

to live there as 1t did back home, and
at the end OF the year | usually found
my bank account no bigger than II
would have been had | remained at

Finally | resolved to face the mu.

but one thing is sure as shooting-l
would not have had SO many good
friends nor half SO high a standing in

My advice to the boys" concluded
the old lnhabtant, "is to think two or
three times before they leap into
