into the background Of former casual
acquaintance. | never expected to meet
either of them again, unless in the chance
crossing OF our trails by some future
coincidence.
Ii happened that in the early spring of
the following year the crusade against
the white plague was extended to my
own State. where it was prosecuted Wig
orouSly. Public meetings were held in
cities and towns all over Massachusetts :;
leading physicians took the platform to
preach fresh air and hygicnc living
and public spirited men of foreign birth
translated to their people Of their own
race the new rules for the treatment Of
tuberculosis Every factory in the State
was placed under district medical
inspection, and rigorous measures were
put in force 70 prevent the spread Of
tho disease among working men and
women.
But we soon discovered that in GER
tain cities. where the local health depart
ment was in the hands Of mcrccnary
politicians. the most dangerous breeding
places Of all the infected tenement
blocks. were still immune to the crusade
and showed no decrease in their death
rate. It became necessary to create sem
timcnt against such conditions by pub
licitv.-a work in which the newspapers
and magazines stood ready to cooperate
where the facts were found TO sustain
our contentious.
1t fell to my lot to examine into con-
ditions in the city where the IandScams
lived. though | was not aware of this
at the time: and in the course of the
week Fate directed my footsteps to one
Of the slums that was occupied almost
entirely by immigrant families.
BY this time | had become very ia
mliar with the genesis of the slum and
lis process of development. Behind
every dilapidated, reeking tenement block
was \ landlord who had acquired the
secret of making his money earn a
greater profit than the richest trust stock
in the country could offer. Much of the
property had been well built originally,
but il had run down and finally been
bought in al a sacrifice. And this was
where the slum landlord came in. He
never repaircd unless forced to do so
nv fine Ia st stages of disintcgration; but
he subdiyided tcncments, divided rooms
Of decent size into two or more rooms
Inv nartition-often leaving one Of them
without windows-and added ugly upper
stories where none were ever intended.
The newly arrived immigrant, finding
uncertain employment and forced to hus-
hand resources, was driven into these
tcnements. He was charged a HIGH
rental in proportion to what he got and
what the landlord paid to the city IL

There appeared to be a recognized cti-
quette for the entertainment of visitors.
Manucls arrival had been greeted by The
shouts of half a dozen brown-evcd chill
drcn, and his wife. a good-looking pcas-
ant, had followed and made a shy
courtesy, after which she had withdrawn
within the house, calling the children
after her But upon our return, from
an inspection OF the gardens we found
that refreshments had been spread upon
a rude table that stood beneath a prim-
tive grapearbor, and we were urged,
with a hospitality that could not be
turned aside, TO partakc of fruits and
native wine and few precious waters
in an American tin box. Neither Manuel
nor his wife partook OF the rcfreshment
with us, but stood and served, happy in
the service of foreign guests
"No u'vc got fine place here" said
Mr. Landscam when he had refreshed

on our behalf was necessary.

not much to be said for the missing

he ran away to escape service in Portu-
gal; but the aged Maria had left a
vacant place in the none too large cot

Manuel himself had never had the fever
of immigration; he loved the island and
his little farm; but he also loved his

the consul had investigated the case, but
without obtaining any information Of

We expressed deep sympathy to Man
uel and his wife and offered one or
two pcrfunCtory suggestions: but there
did not appear to be anything that we
could do to help them, and, after a
polite interval, we asked to be driven
back to the city, as there were still the
shops to be visited and there was no
great time to spare before the steam
ship sailed, Even as it was we came
very near delaying too long in Ponta
Delgada. One by one the boats that had
brought the other passengers ashore
had put off from the messy sea-washed
stairs at the landing, until only our own

Some Rules for the Don't Worry Club -

It is a well-known fact that an
ounce of worry is more destructive OF
happiness and often of life than thirty
nine pounds of real trouble. The
Don't Worry Club has. therefore. been
started by the unde igned, for the pur-
pose OF Graduating this vicious prac-
ming. venture the following rules
harmless, and to contain no traces OF
formaldehyde or other deleterious
matter:
l. If you are caught out in the rain
eleven miles from home. don't worry.
but sneak into the first open door you
come to and borrow any umbrella that
you may find in sight. Lest, being a
perfect stranger, your request for the
umbrella be refused do not ask for it.
but just take it, writing the announce
ment OF your appropriation with a
promise of its immediate return on the
hall mirror with a cake of soap.
?. II you have a heavy bill falling
due tomorrow, don't worry, but let
it fall. If you can't pay it when the
collector calls, invite him smilngly
into the house and play Under the
Old Apple Tree to him softly on the
pianola, and every time he mentions
the account laugh merriy and tell him
he ought not to talk shop while max
ing social call. In short while all
your worry over this bill will be trans
ferred to the shoulders of the man to
whom you owe the money.
3, II you are disappointed in love.
don't worry, but think of old Blithcrs
up the street who was not disappoint-
ed in love, but was very much discon-
certed by marriage, Reflect how his
devoted wife always sits up for him
whenever he goes to the club and
takes so deep an interest in his affairs
that she opens all his letters and
makes a practice of going through his
pockets during the wee small hours
while he sleeps.
T. If you have been sent to ial for
twenty-five years, don't worry, but try
to figure out how much you will save
in that time on living expenses, bad
cigars, and uncomfortable vacations
in American summer resorts. Con
slider, also, that having been sent to
prison, the chances of your going INTO
politics are materially diminished that
you are likely to be spared the neces-
sity OF voting for a party candidate
whom you intensely dislike, and re-
