KNOW HIM

Tarrytown, N. Y.-The elusive
William Rockefeller is laughing at
the activities of the Puio committee
process server in his attempts to land
the oil magnate as a witness before
the Money Trust Investigators at
Washington. About two weeks, ago
the process server passed Rockefel-
Ter in his automobile on Orchard
street and did not know him. The
Washington agent tried to get a po-
iceman from headquarters to go
with him to the Rockefeller estate,
lockwood Hall, but the policeman
refused, so the process server had to
go alone and without success. Rookie
Teller has been at lockwood Hall all
fall, it is said here, and has often
been seen about the streets in an
automobile.

Of house worker. Back where the

aged to do her own work.
While the "hired girl'' was sust

which the small town offers to it's

But the girl found it was differ
ent in the city. She had applied
only at homes Of modest means, and
realizing the paucity of her equip
ment, did not pose as a highly de-
Teloped maid" she understood
general houseWork; she could scrub,
wash clothes, cook plain food whole
somely, and keep house looking
tidy besides being gifted in knowing
how to make a bed properly.
1t was only after having tried to
be ''saleslady" at five dollars per
week, and keep herself as a good
girl, that she despaired of being
anything but a "hired girl'-and
she made the rounds of the Young
Women's Christian Association
rooms until she was "placed.''
And then her story begins.
If you want to realize the depth
and the breadth of the brand of
snobbery that girl was up against,
you will have to read her tale From
the wife Of the clerk who was living
up to every one Of the twenty dol
lars q week which her husband
made, to the wife of the man who

to the hospital by her anxious CD
mistress; here she was splendidly
treated, and one of the young in
terne3 became interested in her. AS
soon as he learned she had been a
"hired girl" he vanished.
At one Of the homes where the
girl was employed, she was given

but the unexpected happened, and
he returned earlier than usual once
and while the girl was not kept
long enough afterward for her to
learn developments, it is quite likely
another domestic tragedy was ad-
ded to the statistics.
The women who fill the baskets
Of poor people on Christmas Eve
with lot of stuff which probably
makes said poor people ill, and the
women among whom this girl
worked, all belong to the same
brand of American snobs.
Without the centuries of culture
and refinement which it has taken
to make the European dame of high
class, the newly rich American has
adopted some of the outward and
visible signs of what they are pleased
to consider as standing for these
things.
The result is-when the dollars
of a family begin to pile high
enough, the family will not be able
to see over the bulwark they make,
and consider themselves in a new at
mosphere.
Can there be anything more re-
two free born Americans lined up
on sidewalk with baskets, waiting
for the dole which is to be given
them by bejewelled danes and cads
of men, who take the misfortunes of
the poor for a holiday?
If there is any sincerity in this
sort of thing, would it wait for a
year to express itself?
While I may not be my brothers
keeper, it strikes me most forcibly
that feeding him to the point of
acute indigestion one day in the
year, is not going to relieve me of
the responsibility of looking after
his larder for at least a part of the
other 1854.
And the pity of it is our newspa-
pers are engendering this spirit of
snobbery in the shallow minds of
the wives Of the numberless clerks
and brokers. The very rich ape the

try to get in line, and the newspa-
