1t ie well enough for agricultural
journals and social workers to talk
about the beauties OF country life;
but I notice that most OF the editors
and other writer's live themselves
where they can have the comforts
such as city water, electricity and
rapil transit. In other words, we all
theoretically believe that It is mis-
take to live in cities and that people
should move out into the country;
but most of Us want the other fell
low to do the moving.
Although | am convinced that the
great need of the present day is 10
get the people out of the city into
the country, yet my sympathies are
with the men and women who refuse
to go. especially with the women,
who, under present circumstances,
are the drudge of the farms.
In fact. there is only one modern
convenience which gives the farmer
a square deal, namely, the postal
service. With the rural delivery sys-
tern the farmer has tho same postal
privileges as the city man. He can
send a letter to any part of the coun-
try for the same price and on the same
terms, even though he lives miles
from postoffice, as the city chap
who lives next door to the big CEN
trail office. In other words, the city
man is obliged to pay the government
more than Ii costs to do business for
him in order that the government may
handle the letters of the country
people on the same terms. That Is to

Granting that the cashing OF checks
In saloons and the consequent coulte-
sizes in such a place are not good for
anyone. and granting that cash kept
on hand Is most easily spent-is 1t
not worth while for the banks and
employers to cooperate in an effort
To secure the desired results? Two
really fundamental things are essen
tisl to gain q maximum of such de-
posts. 1t must be made very simple
to have the deposit attended to, and
the bank must carry Understanding
savings accounts subject to check.
The bank must take little trouble
In the matter and the employer must
also assume some extra work.
The percentage of employees who
would become depositors would vary
in different factories, but 1t is fair to
estimate that in the machine shops
of the country an average of better
than 60 per cent of the men EN-
ployed would welcome such q plan.
The procedure should be something
on this order: The bank should put

MAKE. THE CITY MAN PAY
FOR CITY CONVENlENCES

sav the city man is made to bear
nortion of the burden of the farmer
an that the farmer can enjoy tne
same postal terms and privileges tllat
the city man enjoys.
Now the farmer should receive the
same treatment in connection with
electricity, running water rapio
transit and host of other things, as
the city man receives The muniel-
palities and corporations supplying
electricity and other convenience
should be compelled TO supply iignt,
heat water etc, to the man on the
little farm on the same terms az "
tbe man in the city. Of course, this
would mean charging the city man
more than he now pays; but only by
such an arrangement will the con-
gestior of our cities be relieved ana
fha people move to the country ana
live as God intended they should live.
Yes. I am convinced that the solu-
ton of our city problems VIII be
solved only when our corporations or
the government itself supplies light.
water. rapid transit. heat, etc, to
the farmer on the same basis as TO
the city chap. This will enable the
tired woman on the distant farm 10

washing, cooking, sweeping, the heal.
ing of her irons and the running OF
her sewing machine for quarter of
the cost of the energy at present.
Take 1t from me that SO long as the
farmers wife must trim Kerosene
lamps and carry every pail of water
upstairs 1t will be impossible TO make
much Roadway in relieving the con
gestion of our cities or in reducing
the cost of living.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Some "reminiscences Of Minnie Hanck

ming. In due time some one appeared
from the wings leading a young girl
by the hand. He bowed and then
withdrew and the maiden was left
there alone before a great audience.
The first thought of every one was
probably this: Whether she can sing
or net she Is an extremely pretty
maiden, of very modest denleanor ana
most tastefully dressed Her gown
was of some simple white material.
She had not sung three bars of her
first song before every one in the
house paid the tribute of listening in
tently and silently. 1t seemed in
credible that so young girl should
have such wonderful command Of her
vocal organs, so that every modula-
ton and every tone was perfect, and
the quality of the tones were beauti
full
In the audience was the wealthy
New York gentleman. with members
of his family. who had discovered by
chance that this girl possessed a very
beautiful voice. He heard her sing
ing to herself in garden attached
to her modest home in New Orleans,
where she then lived. He was him
self a patron of music and lover OF
/ art. He was one of the Jerome
brothers.
/ 1t is my recollection that this con-
| cert at New Haven was the first and
| only one given by Minnie Hauck be-
/ fore her departure for Europe, al
| though / afterwards learned that she
/ sang to a company of friends of Mr..
| Jerome in the little private theatre
which Mr.. Jerome had built adjoining
| his house.
I can never forget how great diff
/ ference there was between my first
experience in listening to Minnie
! Hauck and the last. She had gained
| a great reputation as the creator OF
Carmen. in the opera of that name
She was engaged to sing this part in
the metropolitan Opera House in the
early '90s. Her last appearance was
to be in this opera at a Saturday
! matinee To her horror she discov-
cred when she came from her dress
ing-room to the stage that one of the
! company who was to take an inn
portant part in the opera had come
to the opera house sadly intoxicated
They were trying by shampoos anc
various treatments to get him into
condition so that he could go throuet
his part. for there was no one else L
take his place. and II was too late e
change the opera. He did stumble
through the part, to the great EN-
barrassment of Minnie Hauck. ant
SO greatly was she affected tina
when she went to the wings she burs
into tears, deploring the fact tina
possibly her last appearance in Amer
lea was marred BY such an unfortun
ate episode. She did, in fact. return
to Europe shortly after.

Some time in the early seventies
Mrs. Charles Moulton visited New
Haven, Conn. and while there sang
in concert. She was a celebrity at
the time 1t was said that she was
the only American sirl, excepting
Clara Louise Kellogg, to become mis-
tress OF the highest artistic demon
stration OF the exquisite melody
which sometimes is In the human
voice If it be carefully trained, who
had received practically her entire
instruction in her native city of Bos-
ton.
But there were other incidents of
her career in Europe which made her
conspicuous. With her husband, she
was welcome guest OF the Emperor
Louis Napoleon and of the Empress
Eugenie in the heyday of the empire.
She was often spoken of as the most
beautiful woman in Paris and there
were many persons who wondered
how Il was possible for q girl of
American birth and early life to have
become such a perfect mistress of all
of the exactions of the utterly arti-
fetal and yet brilliantly spectacular
social life of the empire under Louis
Napoleon.
Mrs. Moulton's prestige in France be-
came somewhat dim, but she was
cordially welcomed by a great mum :
Der of friends when she visited the
United States, and in her occasional
appearances in concert she demon
strated her possession not only OF
beautiful but also of q very highly
cultivated voice.
To her friends in New Haven Mrs
Moulton said: II have always been
very glad that at least two American
GIRLS. who were exclusively taught
| in the United States, have shown
that II was possible to become great
| singers and to be numbered amone
the worlds great artists OF tux
operate and concert stage.
"You know, Of course, to whom
refer Mrs. Moulton is quoted a.
having said zone is Clara Louise
| Kellogg and the other is Minnie
Hauck. Both have gained grea
| triumphs in Europe, and have
| heard both, but there are MANY
1 people there who do not believe thai
| these girls received their entire train
ing, before they went upon the con
cert or operate stage, from American
| teachers"

versation was repeated to me
