lest has entered Buckingham Palace and
showed itself In a recent demand of the
naidservants for easier conditions of
service. As matter of fact the eondl-
ticns of service obtaining in the English
royal residences have always been ex-
tremely easy, though they have been
re ther lighter for the men than the
women, because the staff Of men has al
ways been proportionately larger than the
staff of maidservants, having regard to
the work each has to do.
The normal strength of the maidser-
was maintained at 45 During the past
Z months. however, four of the servants
riarried and left the royal service and
six retired on pensions after IS years
service. No girls were engaged to re-
place these TO- so that the maidservants'
staff was reduced TO 81 and in order TO
get the work of the housemaids properly
done Mrs. Clerk, the chief housekeeper
at Buckingham palace, had to resort to
what appeared TO the maids to be a
"speeding-up'' process.
Discomfort soon manifested itself among
the royal 'cap and apron" STAFF; their
work was inefficiently performed and ii
vas not long before Mrs. Clerk was
called upon by Queen Mary for an expla-
nation of so strange a phenomenon as
dusty rooms in the royal establishment.
Mrs. Clerks explanation was simple If
not entirely satisfactory to her majesty.
THE girls, explained Mrs. Clerk, 'jn
consequence of the staff being reduced,
have to do moro work than they have
been accustomed to do and they don't
like 1t and it is my opinion they won't
do IT.
Mrs. Clerk has been Queen Mary's
housekeeper since her maiesty's marriage
and is a privileged person, but Queen
Mary did not quite like the result of some
of the new economies that are being
practieed in the royal establishment put
besore her quite so bluntly.
Her majesty declared she must have
the whole matter inquired into and Lady
Bertha Dawkns, who is one of Queen
Mary's most intimate friends and for
many years a member of the royal house
hold, was commissioned to tackle the af-
fair, which, truth to say, required rather
delicate handling, for 1t would have been
decidedly awkward to have precipitated
anything like strike among the royal
maids.
Lady Bertha is, personally, extremely
popular among the royal maidservants,

always happening out here
William Watson just back from the
United States has a lot of nice things
to say about us, and is one of the first
foreigners that one remembers as having
a good word for the American interview
er. The famous author of The Woman
With the Serpent's Tongue finds the
sometimes embarrassing attentions OF
the American newspaper man merely a
manifestation of the intelligent interest
we take in things. Here is how he ex-
pressed his view to an interviewer of the
British variety, day or two ago.
II am afraid our public is still long
way off, he said from even the Amer
can level of appreciation of poetry and
literature An author in the states, or a
new arrival of distinction In any field, is
made an object of interest to an extent
that is disconcerting at first; but the mo-
tive at work is pure intelligence after all,
and allied to vital interest in men and
things. In America they are alive to
IDEAS in any form, and are willing to in
cur trouble and expense for the privil-

Literary Gossip of London
Everybody who has read Murger' S
novel, La Vie de Boheme," will be sor-
~ to hear that an old building in Paris
which once was the faVorite haunt OF
the novelist and the gay companions
whom he pictured in his famous romance
is doomed to destruction. This building
which stands in the rue des Pretres-
Saint Gernain-p Auxerros and is now
with its neighbors in that much-namec
tLoroughfare, to be torn down, was once
the "Cafe Momus,'' of which Murger and
his friends were habitues for a long
time.
Among the then youthful patrons of the
"Monus'' who under other names were
irlmortalized in La Vie de Boheme, y
were the philosopher, Jean WALTON
known to Murgers readers as Collins
Schawn, the musician and painter, the
original of Schawnard, and many others
whom Parisians found 1t easy to identify
The games these young men were up to
moreover, were exactly on q par with
those described in Murgers masterpiece
When they were 'broSe," they would
spend the whole morning in the restau
rant without ordering more than singl,
cup of coffee, which, with the milk anc
sugar provided, was portioned out among
seven or eight of them. Once to thu
scandal of the proprietors and the Other
guests. they invited six undertakers' as
sistants and six nurses in uniform to tn,
"Momus'' and insisted on converting tn,
billiard table into a catafalque. All this
happened over so years ago, 1t being hal
a century since the Cafe Momus" closed
its doors.

Beautiful Little Child
Born Under influence
OF DEADLY NARCOTIC
DRUGS.
The Mother of This Innocent Little
Child Was, Through sickness.

the Child Became
Addicted

Whlch fact should impress our women
with the terrible fate of the offspring of
those VINO are drug users, and with the
Importance of Kidding themselves OF the
disease before it has been Impaired to
their innocent little ones. The mother of
the little child was, through sickness,
iorced to use an opiate, and unfortunate
~ was allowed to continue its use until
she became an addict. AS a consequence
her whole system became poisoned with
the drug, and as result the nervous
system of the child was through its
mothers milk involved to such an ex-
tent that when the mother tried to weau
the child it would at once show signs
OF dysentery and pains in the stomach.
Fortunately for this little child, the mother
did not persist in her efforts to wean 1t.
As soon as 1t would nurse the mother.

came to the James Sanatorium for treat
ment but when the physician gave the
treatment to the mother ne observed that
the child needed treatment Although
the child received its treatment internal
ly, 1t would when ii came time to give
the mother hypodermic treatment come
to the physician and bare its little arm
TO receive the hypodermic. The ply ysician
of course, pretended 10 administer the
hypodermic treatment to the little three
year-old. and as soon as the operation
was over she would roll down her sleeve
and apparently be satisfied Mother and
child We're successfully treated and are
now enjoying good health
a number of cases where the mother
and child had become addicted to the eff

treated at the James Sanatorium. In
some cases the children We're not over

Mr.. Belden was. as you know,
probably the richest man in the cen

an extraordinary skillful and adroit
business man. don't think he pos
