AN UNCOMPLETED STORY

At women's suffrage meeting in Brooklyn the other day the wife of a wealthy manufac- turer told a peculiarly interesting story-or rather she told part of it. The tale was to il- lustrate her assertion that 'wealth and false pride alone make the social barrier" Here 1t is
 "I brought two young tablespoon girls from the East Side to my residence last week, and after dressing them in most beautiful gowns introduced them into a select and aristocratic Iassemblage that had come to my home for the evening. Although members of the poor, self supporting class, the two young ladies, genteel and nicely educated, deported themselves during the reception so charmngly that two of the gen tlemen present, who like the other guests pos sessed no knowledge of the true social position of the girls, were much smitten with them and requested permission to call upon them at their homes One of them was a count staying at the Hotel Majestic, Manhattan. A gentleman pos sessed of riches to the extent of $2,000,000 was also charmed by one of the young ladies, both of whom looked extremely beautiful, dressed out as they were in some of my most precious jew els'
 Very interesting, indeed; but it stops there There should have been much more to complete that story. As it is about all anybody can do
 
 the relation of apparel to the person, of how beauty often isn't even sEilf deep but lies in the outward apparel, and of how absurd are the barriers that shut out persons that have beauty in all its forms and shut in others who may have no beauty at all, but who do have money.
 But what one would like to know about this story is whether or not this social experiment ended as the story ends. Did the Lady Bounti- fu who dressed these poor but beautiful girls of the sIums up in her own best bib and tucker and diamonds her guests of their real social status? And if she did, what happened then? Did the count declare his devotion and insist upon visiting the working girl whom he admired in her rich gown, or did he faint in hor- TOT over his unconscious association with a poor oirl? Did the millionaire boldly declare that lack of money made no difference and immediately call upon the poor working girl in her East Side boarding house? Or did he stiffen in amazed in-

 If the truth was told at the reception, what did the other guests do? Did they crowd about these charming daughters of the working class and clamor their admiration for their beauty, their self-possession, their correct carriage and their charming manners? Or did the crowd that had lately been warmly admiring freeze into protesting groups, demanding that the butler be summoned to throw the two working girls into the street?

THE CHURCH GoER's ATTITUDE

What person gains by attendance at any church depends very largely, if not wholly, upon what he takes there. The most important factor is his own attitude. If this is merely perfume tory, he usually has an excellent opportunity to sleep or think over business matters.
 If he is antagonistic or critical, he will usual ly find what satisfies that state of mind, and come away less lovable and less admirable than when he entered the church doors. It is too much to ask of any minister to overcome these self-imposed conditions; he seldom can give more than his congregation will accept
 No man can be considered intellectually broad spiritually catholic and temperamentally liberal who cannot go to any church and gain from its services much good, or, indeed, all that it is meant to give of uplift and helpfulness Those who go in the other spirit if capable of discrimination, might, as rule, as well stay away.
 It is necessary, here as elsewhere, to grasp the others point of view, to. appreciate the spirit and intent, to free oneself from egotsm and self-centered attitude. Then the Protestant can enter Catholic church feeling it as much the house of God as is his own denominational structure; he can enter into the service and feel the reverent touch and the same pervading sancity which reaches the heart of the devout of that faith. And vice vesra.
 This is more than tolerance; it is brotherhood. But it is no other nor greater>requireme than that made of men in their social and business re- lations, if this world is to grow in grace and kinship; if we are to live together understand ingly and in kindly fellowship.
 Certainly, there can be nothing more un- Christian than the belief that nothing good ex- ists outside our own. That the other man, the other minister, the other church is actuated by motives less lofty and unselfsh than our own {; uses methods less worthy, is intellectually dis honest or spiritually lost because it does not .confOrm to our ideals theories or theological de- ductions.
 It seems strange, yet it may be most natural, that the man who has no church affiliations, who is wholly unattached as a.rule can gain from any church service much the same spiritual tonic it gives the regular attendant, while this same regular attendant will as often take, from any other than his own church, only thankfuness that he is not as they.
 On the other hand, both out of the church, as well as in it, we meet that extreme of bigotry in those who can find no good outside of them selves and theirs, and to whom all others are as lost sheep to be pitied when not despised. Truly this is big world, and yet most of us do but grope about as if wandering in the snuff box.

WHAT THE SCHOOLS COULD DO

Am employment agency which has dealings all over the country has issued the following statement:
 The skilled men and laborers are all
 getting work. We ant supply the de-
 mand for laborers and mechanics.
 Clerk labor is drug on the market
 There are simply not enough jobs to go
 around.
 And so it will continue to be so long as the public schools continue to turn out pupils un- fitted for any occupation whatever, but spoiled for honest labor in which hand and brain com bine by absurdly distorted conceptions of the so- cial distinctions between labor of various kinds, says the Duluth Herald.
 The reason there are so many more clerks than there are jobs for clerk, and the reason why pay for such employment is so small is that the schools, hampered by habit and actuated by a misdirected academic purpose, are training children away from honest labor. The purpose of the average public school curriculum is to fit its pupils for college and the professions. That is not its expressed purpose, of course, and many educators will deny with heat that it is their objective Yet the public school courses that still prevail were framed at a time when the whole purpose was to make "gentlemen and scholars" and the result is the outrageous con ception that labor with the hands is socially in ferior to labor that permits clean hands and white collars.
 So it is that so many of the public school pro- ducts, abhorring mechanical pursuits, become clerks of various sorts. So it is that the market for clerk labor constantly is congested, and that clerk labor wages are low.
 The fault lies in the public schools, and cor recton of this condition must begin there.
 The country calls for educated farmers, edu- cated artisans and educated housewives; it gets a few doctors, lawyers and would-be writers altogether too many of each-and a horde of un- trained boys and girls who fly from work that soils their hands and crowd the poorly paid places where the work will permit pretense of gentility.
 The spectacle is pathetic and it constitutes a serious indictment against the public schools. The children that go to them should get out of the years they spend in school something that will be of value to them in life. The academic purpose, for the great majority of pupils, should be the subsidiary feature, and the practical courses in agricultural, manual training and do- nestle science should be the main feature. The schools should begin answering the country's $ demand for farmers, mechanics and housewives, and cease turning out too many professional men and too many ill-equipped clerks, doomed to lives of paid labor and skimped living

Theatrical Managers.

Quiet Way In Which He Bullied the
Theatrical Managers.
Here are the methods which Dumas
the elder and Victor Hugo employed
when they had new play to offer to
the theater. Dumas would write to
the director of the Porte ST. Martin:
My Dear Friend-I shall bring you on
Monday play in five acts. j shall need
Mile. Georges, Nine. Dorval, Bocage LOCK-
roy, Provost and five new scenes.
This extravaganza would alarm the
director, who would put off the pro-
duction of the play till better days.
Then Victor Hugo would appear and
shyly draw manuscript out of his
pocket. He would agree to everything.
The stock company would play his
piece admirably, since 'all he wanted
was a good ensemble; no new decora-
tions would be needed nor any change
at all.
So the piece would be read, and as
the roles were distributed Hugo would
say musingly, "Dieu, how fine Freder-
ick would be in that partw "That IS
true" Horel would murmur, and a few
days after he would announce that
Frederick was engaged. Hugo would
then demonstrate that this destroyed
the equipoise of the cast, and Raucourt,
Laferriere and Mile. Georges would
be engaged. Then Hugo would attack
the stage setting. Old scenes that
the public had tired Of were almost
an insult to these great artists. If
Horel showed reluctance at this, Hugo
would threaten to withdraw his piece.
And so the game would go on till,
little by little, Hugo had obtained ev-
erything he wanted, even to the
changing of the paper hangings in the
stage boxes

Australia's Stony Desert.

The great stony desert Of north Aus
tralia was discovered by Captain Sturt,
an Australian explorer, In 1886. 1t
is north Of the river Darling and is
about 300 miles long and 100 broad,
consisting of sandy dunes or ridges.
Its want of trees, except along the
creeks, gives the country sterile ap-
pearance. These ridges were probably
formed by the joint effect of winds
and a gradually retiring sea. Accord
ing to Captain Sturt, these waters
were gradually lost by evaporation OF
carried to some undiscovered sea. The
only vegetation, growing scantily, Is
prickly acacias in full bloom, all OF
stunted growth Water is scarce ex
cept in the creeks which are sheltered
and this is generally brackish. Few
travellers care to traverse this inhos
pitable desert.

Twenty years ago, says the Chicago
Advance, a discouraged young doctor
In large city was visited once by his
old father, who came up from rural
district to look after his boy.
"Well, son." he said, "how are you
getting along?"
"I'm not getting along at ALL" was
the disheartened reply. "Im not do
ing thing"
The old mans countenance fell, but
he spoke of courage and patience and
perseverance Later in the day he
went with his son to the free dis
pensary, where the young doctor had
an unsalaried position and where he
spent an hour or more every day. The
father sat by, a silent but intensely in
terested spectator, while twenty-five
poor unfortunates received help. The
doctor forgot his visitor while he bent
his skilled energies to the task, but
hardly had the door closed on the last
patient when the old man burst forth:
II thought you told me that you
were not doing anything! Why, If |

"There isn't any money in 1t,

ed, still scornfully. Money! What
is money in comparison with being of
use to your fellow men? Never mind
about money. You go right along at
this work every day. I'll go back to
the farm and gladly earn money
enough to support you as long as |
live--yes, and sleep sound every night
