GOD BLESS THE sToRK
God bless the stork.

God bless the stork.
 Last month it brought nearly forty little bundles of life to Globe homes.
 Think of the happiness that came with each tiny gift. Joy to the fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grand mothers, and to the little folk whom the stork had brought before into chose same households--fo who rejoices more over the arrival of the thew baby" than do those who hail it as brother or sister? a. tss
 Yes, and in some places death follows fast upon the stork and carried away the good birds gift and broke moth CTS heart-and sometimes took away the mother, too. And sadness came.
 But how much the happiness brought to the world outweighed the grief! Mother Nature, always wise, has made the stork s visit safe for those who fol low her rules, and has made great joy the reward of those mothers who bear her burdens.
 Birth! Life! How common, how sim pie, to Nature! How wonderful how mysterious, how far beyond the com prehension of man!
 And little baby-YOUR LITTLE BABY! How tiny and yet how bigi How weak and helpless and yet of what power!
 Truly, the man and woman have not lived who have not heard that sweetest sound in the world-the cry of the little creature, of their own flesh and blood and who have not held the warm body in their arms and said, My own! My ownl' Life's greatest happiness has not been felt by those at whose door step the stork has not left gift. That heart has not yet been thrilled if it has not been moved by it's own blood in an- other body.
 Yes, of all the joys that come to mankind there is none as great as that brought by the stork.
 God bless the good bird!

WHEN WOMAN IS AT HER BEST

Editor the. Silver Beltr-tsg .ni.f
 Will you please state, to settle, a dis cussion in which several regular readers of your paper are involved, at which age a woman is at her bests s.5s -s,
 A. D. $.
 This is a discussion that will never be settled. It has gone on from the be- ginning, and will go on until the end.
 It is as difficult question as that of a woman's beauty. Different men have different tastes; and it is well that they have, else all would want to marry the same woman
 Ask any man at what age a woman is at her best, and he will name the age as near as he can guess it-of the woman in whom he chances to be most interested at the moment.
 So far as any man is concerned, 3 woman is at her best when she most at tracts him.
 So far as women judge, woman is at her best when she gives them the most sympathy and the least rivalry.
 A woman is likely to be at her best with women when she is at her worst with men.
 There is no general best aga for any woman. It is wholly a question of in dividual judgment. And even the indi. vidual judgment changes from time to time.
 And it is matter of individuality in the women themselves. One woman may reach her, zenith of charm at 20, and thereafter steadily decline into the hope lessly commonplace. Another may grow more attractive each year, until at 45 or 30 she is the quintessence of charm Many women fail to 'wake up'' un- til they are in the sos. And, on the other hand, there is many girl who, until she is 25, gives the greatest prom ise of charming personality. Then she declines into the most uninterssting of women. If some man marries her at her best, he is apt to repent his rashness all his life. I hk
 It is utterly impossible for several persons-even regular readers of this paper--to' agree upon this intricate question. Bach must decide for himself, and is privileged to change his mind as often as he pleases.
 Any woman is at her best to any man whenever he most admires her, whether she bs l6l or SO. iItfis nothing peculiar to the woman at that particular time which puts her at her best in his eyes; it is his admiration does it.
 A woman attains absolute perfection in mans eyes only when he loves her. The change is not in her, but in him.

THE DEEP DISGRACE OF BEING
 USEFUL e

Alma Servine is daughter of reason ably well-to-do Nebraskan people, who sent her to Omaha to study music, for which she had talent. She grew in mu- sical skill, and was invited to tho homes of her fellow students, until
 It was discovered that Alma Servine was tiding over a scarcity of funds by working for wages and ths use of piano in private family in Omaha.
 And then those daughters of western republican" and "democrats" gave the world 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 tho cruelty of girl barbarism. They objected to her contaminating presence in the studio, and the music master for self protection 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 society" is prone to deem the crime of usefulness. That is, the poor girl went mad-actu- ally insane-and between spells of de- stroying the written music, improvising on the piano, declaring that she was musician, "not hired girl" she raved and babbled, ana finally went to the state insane asylum pronounced incur able. ,.., .'
 So the story goes, of life ruined by the consciousness of crime-the crime of being useful.
 There is not one Ameriacn family in a million which is even one generatio on removed from shirt sleeves and kitchen apron, save among southemers-al,d they are returning to the regalia of h- bor..
 We as people are descended from the poorest of European peasantry. The lime of toll is in our bones, the weight of labor in our fists-and the common sense of labor should be in our brains. lit 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 woald drive a fel- low student crazy with scorn for her serving. It is-it must be-that, con scious of our own peasant origin-and ashamed of tive drive ourselves to a 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 'des- cent'' we are so near bankrupt that we must be exclusive" 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 granddaughters 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 dem- ocratic west the virus of snobbery seems to have. gone so deep. For every step along this aristocratic road will have to be retraced in coming to the day when all will serve, and when the ones who refuse to serve will be the outcast and despised
