Dr.' Brougher said: , " '. Ta Servmav OlrL ' 1 ; ,- ' , "To serve la' honorable.' There la no 'title uoro highly honored In ' both the Old and Kew ' Testaments than the -" presaton. 'The aervsnt of .the" lord." r In uplte of thia fact, men and women have attached a eort of stigma to the word errant. Many people think that It la derogatory to human worth and dignity to be a servant. Thla - thought rune through all classes of aoclety. The so ciety girl thlnka she la a little bit better than he atore girl.' The atore girt la - Inclined to think that she la the social superior of the servsht. , - . "One young woman aaye, Off)c. girl corn to associate with aerrant girl.' She declares that there ar girla work ing in the etorea who eonalder house work as .too degrading for them. In stead of staying at home to work, they hire a aerrant for-tha home, and go to work ln the' stores themselves. Thla aeema abeolutely Idiotic. When working . girla raanlfeat auoh a- ridiculous snob bery. what cap be expected from o there? The flrat and great leaaon that men and women muat learn 1 that work la hon orable. Every girl ought to be a trained cook and housekeeper. t1 ; . Ooaeldaaat Tioalmeat Baa.

Thla may aeem ideal and Impracticable, but to a greater or leaa degree, the re lation of servant and mlatreaa can be regulated by It If thla principle were applied, the following reaulta might be expected: . .. "A mlatreaa 'would ' give her aervant juat wagea and oonalderate treatment. She ahould be paid wagea commensurate with tbe work required. .Although many aerranta are not paid enough, very little complaint on thla Una haa been made by thoaa who hare written me. The chief complaint from aerrant girla la concern ing their treatment. One young woman aaya 'In many famlllea a pet dog la treated better than the aerrant f girl. - Many aervant girla bar to . aleep In eome out-of-the-way attlo room, which. In winter, la cold and otherwle disa greeable. They-mnet do their reading and sewing by candle light When It cornea to eating, the aervant girl geta whatever la left, and, frequently, enough haa not been bought to. go round.' An other young woman aaya: 'I waa taken -to what waa called my room. ; In fact. It waa nothing mora than an ordlnary slsed clothe closet, a email corner of tbe attlo. In It waa a canvae cot, a pil low stuffed with cotton, a amall cracked mirror, a chair, a amall rug and a few hooka on which to hang clothing. That waa nty room.'

I replied I was rearing. 8he aald. "Who la mlatreaa bare, you or JT" Being a young. Inexperienced simpleton of a girl, I went and washed the windows I received the princely sum of f 19 per month. 1 stayed there about three tnontha and became 111. Ohf the Injustice of It! Because I was young and Inex perienced I waa paid leaa and given more work than a mature girl.' .''' A StlagT adstreea. "Here la another experience: They ex pected tbe girl to rlae at 4:0 In the morning, clean the aldea of the houa with broom end hose twice a week, and get the laundry out before breakfaat In order to do other things. If 1 ahould make a cup of coffee to auataln me un til the family breakfaat, the next morn ing I would find the oof fee under lock and key. One morning I fried an egg. When the mistress -came down she looked ' with horror and amaaement at the abell and aaked me how It got there. I replied. "I was hungry and had to have something to eat" She answered. "A piece of toaat or a biscuit was enough.' I cannot -afford to feed you on eggs." Eggs were then 10 cents per doien. I was to get til per month. I stayed there three -week. flh -refused to pay me. but finally did give me t4.lt tot the hardest three weeks'' work I ever did.

Aa for myself, I think the sitting-room ought to be at her disposal up till 10 o'clock on tbe night when her 'freckle-faced Reuben' comes to ae her. 'One. girl,' writing on thla point says. "Most people aeera to think that a aerrant girl ought not to have callers.) Naturally.-ahe will meet them on the atreet or In other places.

Father Mo Devltt added that he would rather see his sister married to a good, true and consctentloua non-Catholio than to some Catholics whom he knew, who were little less than brutes. He contended that tbe pledge taken by the non-Cath-olte before th wedding la often hard to keep. . ' ' - ; ; - - AT CALVARY, CHURCH. A. . rattaUo Olre AM Address oa. th eottlak Ooveaaaters.

HAS BEEN TRUE TO Y HfS OATH OF OFFICE When Sworn In, Says ; Mr. Allen, , Gambling Was Open and Notorious ; Bribes Could Not Influence Fear ' less Sheriff.' : Y ' Y ' In a prelude to. his sermon at. the Cumberland Preabyterian church last evening. Rev. K. Nelson Allen, the pas tor, gave an eloquent eulogy of 8herlff Tom Word, and called upon all good cltisena to. stand by him. He reviewed In detail the sheriffs career. In part Mr. Allen aald: . i:---.-,.. . "Leas than two. yeara ago, by a popu lar uprising led on by th Municipal association, ' the commercial travelera and - th Independent - voters of Mult nomah county, Tom Word waa awept Into th sheriffs offlc by m handsome majority. - Upon taking his oath of of flc he declared, It to be his purpose to- enforce th law as he found them without fear or favor. He began at one 1 th prodlgous task of enforcing the aatl-gambllng law a For the faith ful manner In which he has discharged his duties of office - he deserves the lasting gratitude of -all good cltlsens and nothing ahort of a triumphant re election will be sufficient to repay him. "When he came Into office gambling was open and notorious. A conservative estimate at the time placed the num ber of habitual poker player In th city alone at l.fOO. - Inoludlng . thoa who played occasionally, the number was augmented to 1.500. In "th regular gambling-houses - there -were . employed a total of S71 men. There were S00 men employed In poker-rooms - located In saloons, cigar atorea and other placea. Th average weekly aalary of these em ployes waa $11.1 a$, or about $52,000 per month. NO estimate can be placed boon th thousands of dollars Jost in these gambling places. - -- The Ttart Big Bald. . . : "Being an immensely lucrative enter prise. It Is not surprising tnat tney con tested every inch of the ground. - Th first big raid- was mad by th ahertf f and hla deputlea on tbe Mas care. Auruat Krlckson's concert hall and Ed and Eugene Blaaler'a- concert hall and cores of the players were placed, under arrest Every effort was put forth to Indue Sheriff Word to deslst-in hi anti-gambling crusade. -He was offered 15.000 a month, to allow the games to continue. Failing In their attempt at bribery, they threatened hla lire, to this he paid no heed. No sort of pres sure eould turn him aald-from hla de termination to enforce the law. "They 1 tried through legal .techni calities - to defeat him In the courts: Judge Frsier and Judge George, in all their Judicial decisions, upheld th latter and the spirit Of tbe law. - Too much cannot be aald In Praia of these scholarly and conscientious jurists In their legal interpretstlons. Th gam blers then brought suit against th sheriff to recover damages aggregating 150.000. In tnls they also failed, in pit of every opposition he continued hla raids, hartna at one time $7 gam bling caaes pending In court to be tried upon separate charges. At last th big gambling-houses, beaten at every turn, decided to ' capitulate. Coming into court they pleaded guilty and paid their flnea, ranging from I50-to &oo. unus ended th great battle for th suppres sion of public gambling. Aa Xooaomloal Administration. "For this heroic service Sheriff Word deservea the gratitude and support of all patriotic cltlsens. And - there are still other reaaona why he should be returned to office. The economic man ner In which he has administered the affairs of the office Is worthy of con sideration. ' Contrary to the custom of hla predecesnore. Sheriff Word has al waya turned over to th county treas urer - all - f eea - received - from outside leountles for the service of legal papers In Multnomah county. These fee alone will aggregate 12.000 net gain to the county. Comparing the - expenses of the tax department for a period of six months with those of his predecessors for a like period the county auditor's books ahow a saving of - f 1.021. II In fsvor' of the present encumbent At this rate there would be a saving of over 14,000 for the two yeara in this department alone. Expense in conduct-: lng the jatl haa also been greatly re duced. A comparison covering a period of five months shows a aavlng of 1137. IS. In all departments, together with tbe - fees , not heretofore turned Into the treasury, there haa been a aavw lng of " at - least - 18,000. During - his term of office the county treasury haa been aupplemented by flnea for gam bling to the amount of eome 11,000. Tru to Kis Oath. "Notwithstanding th economic ad ministration of his offlc and th large sums which hsve come Into th treas ury through feos and fines, the eounty court has seen fit to refuse the pay ment of legitimate expenses of the of fice to the amount of 1855. These were expenses Incurred In the suppression of gambling. Judge Webater haa per sistently refused to pay these bills. The people demanded the enforcement of law. They are willing to pay the legitimate expenses for its enforcement. A county judge ought to be elected who favors tho enforcement of the antl gambllng laws and who la willing to pay the legitimate expenses Incurred thereby. "Sheriff Word 1s a man of high moral Integrity, true to bis friends and Just te hla enemlea.
