DROVE TEE LASSIE INSANE.

Snobbery that led to tragedy that is
the story that comes from Omaha,
Neb.
Alma Servine, the daughter Of
well to do Nebraska farmer, went to
Omaha to pursue her musical studies.
She had talent and was a lovable
girl who made many friends in Omaha
until
One day it came out that Alma, being
short of money, was doing domestic
service a part of her time for wages
and for the use of a piano for prac-
tice.
"W-h-a-t7" said this girl coterie.
"Why, who would have thought it?v
urged this shoddy aristocracy. "If we
associate with this girl we are likely
to lose our social standing"
And so they snubbed the poor girl
savagely.
They drew their skirts aside and re-
fused to speak to her. They served
notice on the music teachers that I'M
less she was barred from the studio
they would quit. In self defense the
teachers refunded Alma's tuition and
dismissed her.
| And these feminine snobs did this
act of barbarism in the name of ''gen-
| tility.''
One wishes that were the end of
their malicious snobbery, but it wasn't
One wishes Alma Servfne might have
considered the source of the gross in
suit and gone on her way oblivious
| But she was a girl Of tender suscep-
Utilities, and when her friends turned
their backs upon her the iron entered
her soul
She went insane!
Convicted of the crime of being use
full to society as well as ornamental
she was sent to an asylum. And there
she babbles betimes and raves.
She is pronounced incurable.
And this in America-in America
where most of the people are descend
ed from a peasantry In Europe tina
was so poor it had to emigrate Il
make living!
Poor Alma Servine!
Did she not live in a country whert
orators prate SO much concerning thu
dignity Of laborr
Had she not heard much about tn
''real aristocracy of serviceT' Was
not urged upon her that in our da.
the highest duty one can aspire to
the duty of helpfulness and that onl,
the useless idle should be the outcast
of society?
Beautiful ideals these.
But they were only dreams tina
Alma Servine could not make com
true.
She was guilty of doing what tn

! been proud to do-working in a kitcf

law. He has discussed his proposed
amendment with some of the members
Of both houses, and they seem to be
favorably impressed with it.
The three-mile road law which is to
be the basis for one of the most spirit
ed fights of the session. provides that
whe nifty freeholders sign a petition
for road three miles or less in length
the county commissioners shall order
the road built, the expense to be as
sessed against the entire township. The
law was enacted in 1907 for the pur-
pose of promoting highway improve

1t is the purpose of Governor Marsh
all, as announced Saturday, to do

commission until after the close of the

governor wishes to await the action of
the legislature and see whether it does
anything toward amending or repeal
ing the railroad commission law.
| Governor Marshall takes the position
that the law under which the railroad
commission is working is in such a
muddled condition that the entire law
ought to be repealed and new law
enacted creating a new commission.
Only in this way, he says, can the sit
