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

in industry, and all the grains, fruits

i The Dignity of II
Labor
A Story Showing Its Change I
In Half a Century
By JOHN Y. 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.

more and more to dispense with hired I tion was granted wltb alacrity, and

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

hearing of Miss nroadnax'n remarks

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,

during her Inspection she caught sight
of Charles Treat In a pair of overalls
helming over a machine.
"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
