Colliers. Railroading and Letter Writing The trial of the former directors of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad dragged its slow length along without any nerve-racking thrills. And yet wherever Mcllcn fig ured, there was bound to be interest Mellcn's evident zest in the game was brought out by the reading of an old letter written by him to one of his un derlings in regard to refusing credit to the New England Railroad, then one of the New Haven's chief compe titors. Here is a part of it: "Write just as l ice a letter as you know how, expressing all manner of regret that you 'arc obliged to take this action, and that it embarrasses 1 them, but ask them to give some con sideration to tho railroad situation and try to put up with the situation as not , being an unreasonable one, but rather one necessary for the proper protec ' tion of our property. "You can fix up a good letter I have ! no doubt one that will draw tears to I the eyes of the people to whom it is I addressed and convince them that you urc only driven to this course by dire necessity." That the recipient of this thorough ly understood the Mellon method is in dicated by his reply WHAT SHALL OUR LAND BE? Amid tho flood of government do cuments the recent report of Frank lin K. Lane, Secretary of the interior is a real landrrtark. Here we have again the American sense of creative power nnd creative purpose, the mis sion of our country to build a grcnt free sttatc in n now land. As re cited in this glowing report, the bare facts of our nntional resources nre as thrilling as any romance. On this continent we have the basis for a civi- llzaticm that if necessary, can lio mndo independent of all others; for wo pro duce practically every mineral needed in industry, and all the grains, fruits vegetables, and fibers of tho tcmpcr ato zone. We can build up our soils nnd keep them fortilo with our own chemicals, while the running waters of this country can be mndo to yield r.omo sixty million horsepowor.

Did they draw out from their savings bank tie count? The furniture man and the banker have refused to say.

LARNED During the past half century a great change has come, over what wo call tho dignity of lnbor not thnt labor Is n more honorable cnlllug than formerly, but It Is ho regarded. Iu America wo took originally our Ideas concerning trade and labor from Knglnnd, wbero neither woh then regarded as a fit oc cupation for n gentleman. Fifty years ngo one might not lu America sell goods nt retail and mnlntaln a first class social position. The daughters of gentlemen and IiiiIIph could not earn money without being (iiboo by persons of their own sot. Today our merchants nnd social princes aro retailers. The daughters of well to do persons prpfpr to work rath or than wnlt for hiistinuds, and many a young man with a taste for mechan ics prefers to iiialso his start iu tho machine shop rather than In the count ing room. Nevertheless snobbery has not died out It will never die, filling its ranks mostly from the get-rlcli-qulek ele ment Modern high social life Is n combination of rollnod persons and snobs. For the snobs nothing Is quite good enough. Itellned men think little of taking off their coats and doing a bit of carpenter work about their homes. Their wives are every day cominu more and more to dispense with hired I tion was granted wltb alacrity, and BfcK, h vo m pcl8jty gracious to him. When asked for a rensoa for not approving of him she said thnt no one knew anything about him. lie might tic a plumber: he might be a "counter Jumper;" he might be n car lentor. Since Mlxs Bronduax's father had made his money out of the bones of rotting animals the strictures In volved lu her denunciation of these oc cupations did not come with good grace, A certnln Miss MncKnlght, wuomc fa ther hnd been n Judge on the bench, on hearing of Miss nroadnax'n remarks snld thnt the world hnd Improved In Its cutlmnto of iersons In separating those of refinement from their occupa tions; thnt It was possible for a plumber, n "counter Jumper" or a enrponter to be a refined man and It was ixxsslblo for n gentleman to engage iu the manu facture of fertilizing material. This bit of repartee was appreciat ed by those of tho old school who were not especially pleased wltb Miss Itrod mix's assumption of the right to turn down persons on account of their occu pations. However, Miss Ilroadnax from her own stnudolut won a signal vic tory. One day nn automobile drew up In haste In fnt of Mrs. Bradbury's house. Mr. Treat got out, hustled Into the oar and was carried away. It so happened that Miss Broadnax was passing Mrs. Bradbury's at tho time In her limousine nnd, M'olng the departure of Mr. Treat, took It hito her bead that ho had been carried away by a philn clothes policeman. Resolving to innko sure of the matter, she ordered her chauffeur to follow. Twenty miles from Gleudnie the auto containing Treat drew up at a largo factory. The young man alighted and entered ono of the buildings. Miss Broadnax drove up to the olllco und.

One August day n young man knock ed at the door of Mrs. Bradbury, who lived iu a small town called Olendalo, situated In a beautiful valley, and said to her: "I am looking for a place to spend a month lu which to regain health im paired from overwork. I have leen told that If I can get you to tuko me In I will be very pleasantly situated." The lady looked tho young man over and consented to takb him to I ward and treat him, If he so wished, iih a member of her family. Ho gave his nnmo ns Charles Treat, but concerning his antecedents or his occupation said nothing. Tho accepting of Mr. Trent ns a member of the family meant moro to him tlmii would nt llrst appear. Olcndalo society was jnoro than usual ly pleasant, and Mrs. Bradbury, whose ancestors had been Its leaders lu for mer times, though sho w-iis now poor, retained her membership. Many good men and women had of late years been admitted to social companionship, but the snob had not been kept out. Nev ertheless Oleudale social life was suf ficiently progressive to take persons for their Intrinsic worth. For the first week of his sojourn In Glendnlo Charles Treat divided his day between sitting on Mrs. Ilrndbury's porch nnd taking Walks In the country round about -Then Mrs. Bradbury, dialing that he was growing Impatient to get back to work, suggested thut ho would be better satisfied to remain If he had some companionship and offer ed to Introduce liltn to tho young men and young women of Uiw place. Trent consented and becaino n member of the younger social circle of Glendnlo. There wero tennis courts there, In which those devoted to outdoor sports gathered, and Trent found the gamo both attractive und of advantage to his health. Ho was well liked, though not whnt is culled popular. Popular young men and women In society aro usually ephemeral Unless they huvo sterling qualities tluyy 'ire liable to drop out of tho esteem lu which they nro held, taking a back seat Among tho more rellned young men nnd wom en Treat was considered an equal; among those whose parents had re- eutly got rich ho found little favor. They required some Information as to what was his occupation, and he did not seem inclined to gratify their curi osity. Treat took more especially to tennis- than to tho other methods of recrea tion. Ho played a good game, though at the time, his health having been Impaired by overwork, bo did not play strong one. It was noticed that ho was dreamy that Is, ho was Uablo to be thhlklng of something else thnu whnt be was doing. On severul occa sions while at tenuis, struck by n mid den thought while a ball was to be sent back, ho would let It go by with out seeing It. This wan not acceptable to his partner when ho hnd ono nnd gained him tho uiiiuo of "woolgnther er." One of tho young men who no ticed this Idiosyncrasy declared that Treat was either mad or a genius, mill ing that geniuses were part lunatic and, after all, there was not much difference between tho two. But the olliers would not agree to this, In these days wealth counts for ho much those ponKCHwing it naturally be come Hocltil leaders, Among the young ladlex ut Olendiilo wait Mln Martha Broadnax, who wo father had mndo a great deal of money lu iiiaiiiifaeiiirlng hohcn lulo forllllxlng inntciliil.

"Greasy mechanic!" sho exclaimed to herself. "I knew there was something tho matter with him. If he Isn't a criminal he's n common laborer, and that's not much better." So Miss Broadnax was driven buck to Glendnlo and tho next day gave out that what ever the others of tho social circle did In the premises she would no longer countenance Mr. Treat There was u timo when her state ment thnt she had discovered that n member of the social clrelo of Glendnlo worked lu overalls In u factor would have been sulllclent to eject hlin. In the twentieth century there Is a broad er view of such matters. Mr. Treat was not turned down by Jils associates, but was treated by different ones In different ways. lie returned to them In n few days without mentioning where he had been and soon noticed that something hnd happened. Borne of his former associates scarcely no ticed him, some treated him as usual, and he noticed that Miss MnelCutght was unusually cordial. No ono felt obliged to tell Mr. Treat he had been trucked to a factory and hnd been seen lu overnlls, and since ho was Ignorant of this fact some timo was required for him to realise that ho was among certain persons personn non grata. Naturally Miss Maclvnlgbt's cordial treatment of him drew him to her, ho supposing that liu was attrac tive to her. The young lady, unwill ing that he should mistake the causo of tho favor sho showed him, finally told him tho story of Miss Rrondnux following him to the factory, which explained Uio coolness shown him by certain members of the nodal circle. Trent held his ground In Glendnlo till the last of August, when ho depart ed, and n few ilnyu later every ono of his associates there received an Invi tation to Inspect n new ennnon he had Invented at tho Duckworth Arms com pany on an early day In Keptemlier, tho day after Iibor day. It was the Duckworth Arms company's factory where Mr. Treat had been si-en In over nlls. Naturally the announcement that Treat was an Inventor and had per fectedas ho hnd done his own work manship n new ennnon created ijulto a stir lu tho Olemluli; social circle. There wero girls in that circle who wero looking out to marry an estab lishment and would bo only too glad to marry a man in overalls If ho wero a successful Inventor mado rich by Ills inventions. As to the young men, they had long passed beyond Uio nurrow Ideas of their forefathers, and thcro was not one of them who would not gladly have stepped Into the shoes of a man who was capable of even trying to Invent u gun, The Invitation was generally accept ed, tho only girl declining being Miss Broudunx, she nut having the face to BANDON.
