THE HELP PROBLEM.

the first place each maid has her par
ticular duties, and each maid is en-
tirely Independent of the other. Then
allow them to entertain their friends
in the back porch, which is glass in
closed In the winter and screened IN
summer. or course not everybody Is
blessed with this porch comfort, but
utilize mine to great advantage. for 1t
seems a crime to force your maids
onto the pavement for their social life.
And that is what you do II your home
Is closed to their company.
When we have guests the maids re-
cieve so much extra head. 1t is only
a trifling sum, but it helps more than
you would believe in smoothing over
what would otherwise be irksome stu
ations.
Yesterday marked the end of four
years that Lizzie had been with us and
gave her a pretty pin in reward for
her faithful services. 1t was by no
means valuable, but Lizzies face
flushed with pleasure. Another thing.
I always try to be on hand at the hour
which is appointed for dinner, unless
give ample notice, for know from ex-
perience how discouraging it is when

I'm crazy" said Madge with the sweet
smile for which we all love her so.

Yesterday Ethel gave a tea. All the
girls of our old school clique were
there. How we did talk as we nibbled
at the dainty sandwiches and slipped
the delicious tea from her wedding
china.
Then the talk touched upon servants.
oh, what trouble we all had on this
subject. Phyllis complained about her
butler, needless to say Phyllis married
very wealthy. Ethel, who does her own
household tasks, was worried about her
laundress. In fact everyone had trou-
bles of particular kind.
Only Madge sat quietly by, listening.
Finally she, too, spoke. Really, girls, +"
she said, Il can't see where your COM
plants have a great foundation. Are
you sure that you are fair? AS you
know, l employ two maids and have no
trouble whatever. Perhaps l have to
thank the working system which Robs
mother suggested to me before l mar
ried. Would you like to hear about it?'
There was no question about this, for
we all had at least heard of the excel
lent luck Madge had with her maids
Here we all proceeded to settle back
with a sigh of relief. Perhaps we were
going to have our mystery solved after
all.
CHOW don't interrupt until I'm
through, then you may ask all the
questions you WISH" she continued. "Ir

Marian, trying to restore her hus-

Morris stalked into the living room
and picked up a book. A loud wall
descended the stairs and increased in
volume every minute till Marian
called from the kitchen door:
Morris, please take the baby. He
is not at all well today. He has not
slept over half an hour at time the
whole morning"

When Marian descended the stairs
some minutes later carrying the
baby, he was eating these viands
with an injured air.
Il will dish your tomatoes. see
you have none" Marian put the
child In his high chair and hurried to
the kitchen. She dished the dinner
and called the children. Morris ate
his dinner in sullen silence.
Are you ready for your dessert?"
asked Marian after she had served the
children. Morris indicated the affirm
alive by bob of the head. and Marian
removed his plate and brought in the
pudding. AS she passed the baby on
the way to the table the little fellow
reached out his arms and began to
cry. The mothe. drew the high chair
close to her and tried to get chance
to eat her dinner. but it was of no
use. She had to take the child to quiet
him.
why do you humor him that
way?" snapped her husband.
He Is sick, have told you, and /
cannot let him heat himself all up
crying" Marian showed some signs
of irritation. Morris snorted,
"He is always sick when he cries,
according to you"
Il have had the care of him all the
morning l may be able to judge
better than you are as to his physical
condition" She gave her husband a
meaning look and glanced at the
children.
Morris poured himself a glass OF
water; drank it; pushed back his
chair and left the table. He did not
lie down. though it was fully half an
hour before the first bell, but marched

Morris, if you want dinner today
you will have to take up the baby.
He is not well and | cannot have him
cry So Morris sat still. Soon Mar
ian left the kitchen and assembled the
stairs. The wailing stopped for a mo-
ment, then began again in subdued
little moan.
Marian, am l to have my dinner
today?" called the irritated voice of
the husband.
The potatoes are done in the oven
and the chops must be ready to take
up by this time" answered Marian
from the bedroom.

There is an apron hanging behind

Il guess it will not hurt him to be

MUSINGS OF MOSES


Did you ever consider what a law
lis? I'll tell you: 1t is something that
the men who make it do not them
selves understand. That is why we
require judges to decide what the Gre
ators of the law were driving at. We
take legal question to one court, and
the verdict is highbobalorum. Then
we appeal to another court, and the
verdict is lowbobahighrum. On fur
Their appeal the verdict is divided be-
tween highbobalorum and lowboba-
highrum, and thus becomes highlow-
bustem. And when it goes to the SSu-
preme Court of the United States we
have to wait so long for a final YER
dict that we are reminded of the days
when committing on the Erie.
Many laws are not intended for the
good of the public. their chief end be-
ing to supply incomes for disputatious
lawyers. A vast majority of lawyers
will take either side of the question,
and be damn glad to get the job. On
each side of the controversy prece-
dents are quoted going to show that
both the plaintiff and defendant are
right, and consequently both are
wrong. And to carry out all these in
termnible squabbles and Jarndyce VS..
Jarndyce affairs, legions of judges.
prosecuting attorneys. lawyers, juries,
clerks. bailiffs, subpoena-servers, court
officers, detectives and plain clothes
men are required, and taxes keep on
rising with the passing of more and
more laws. Laws are very beautiful
to us when we can find one that fits
the fellow we don't like, but Nemesis
never fails to find a law sooner or
later that will fit us. The man intent
upon getting the law on his neighbor
is preparing for his neighbor to get
the law on him. Be bit patient. and
you will get what you give-it is mere
ly question of time.
Laws are necessary, of course. but
by the cunning and the tricky mach
nations of lawyers themselves the law
is so pulled and hauled and manipu-
lated that convictions are few and ac-
quittals are many. Fame and reputa-
ton flow to an attorney in proportion
as he succeeds in keeping criminals
out of Jail. Guilt is almost as immune
as innocence if you have the price in
your clothes.

1t is to be hoped that the veil of

STATE sTockMEN TO
FIGHT HERD LAW

Denver, March 25.-Stockmen from
every section OF the state met at the
Albany hotel Wednesday night to plan
against the herd law. which certain
interests propose to initiate for pass
age at the next general assembly
The cattlemen present included
those appointed on a permanent COM
mittee named at the annual meeting
held in January in Denver. with Frank
Squires, president, presiding.
After the meeting the committee
men announced the campaign was be-
ing organized on the theory that the
proposed law would put the cattle in
dustry in the state out of business.
an industry that represents oneeighth
of Colorado's taxable property.
The statement was made that the
campaign would be well organized and
financed.

tions by Congress and legislatures,
new laws and constant uncertainty,
business hesitates and progress halts.
There are evils, of course, and we
recognize the duty of legislatures and
congress and the courts to see what
can be done to better things, but it is
little short of insanity to burn up
wheat field to destroy a few this
ties. Every day we read of new de-
cisions by the courts that affect some
of us seriously and make quick and
radical changes necessary. Every
day we read of investigations for ey-
erything and everybody. Nobody is
any longer immune from the inquis.
itors. Nobody is good except those
who get on the investigating commit
tees. Rarely indeed do these in
vestigations that promise so much
really accomplish anything more than
ephemeral sensations for the news
papers and salaries for the investi-
gators. plus the cocktails, the cigars,
the theatre tickets and the other
joys that go with Peeping Tom job.
The situation today recalls this story
of doctor who met a man and said:
do you remember Jinks?" Yes"
answered the man; 81 remember links
very WELL Il cured him. said the
doctor You cured him." gasped the
man. why, Jinks is dead!' "Ah,"
If the business doctors keep on, they
may cure business, but the chances
are that it will be dead by the time
the cure is effected. Thomas Jeffer-
son said: THAT country is governed
best that is governed least" Would
it not be we'll for US to try and catch
up with Thomas jefferson?
