WHY DO YOU HURRY SO?
©h, man with eager eyes
Why do you hurry so?
Jn your haste to vain the pr!z»
You miss mue'.i as you go;
Tou hear no song birds sing.
Nor stray In flowery places;
Tou never stay to bring
Glad smiles to weary face*—
Why do you hurry so?
Oh, stay a little, stay!
Why do you hurry so?
There are blossoms along the way
That never again shall blow;
The grave Is at the end
Of the way you are taking—
£tay a little, friend,
And soothe some heart that'a aching-
Why do you hurry so?
Oh, maiden with deep eyes.
Why do you hurry so?
A world of sorrow lies
Out where you long togo;
Tou put your books away
And coll your braided tressei.
And. turning from wild play.
Are stately in long dresses-*
Why do you hurry so?
Oh. stay a little while,
Why do you hurry so?
I see you sweetly smile,
And Heaven Is here below;
But. oh, you long to flee
From youth and maiden glory.
To grieve too late and be
The pathos of the story-
Why do you hurry so?

CHAPTER VII.—CONTINUED.
The front door opened quickly; a
•trong, firm step came through the
hall; and Mr. Morton opened the sit
ting-room door and stepped in.
"Kxcuse me, Ward, I left my
gloves on the table," he began, as he
walked in. Then he saw Barbara,
who had turned as he entered.
"I'm glad to see you, Miss Clark,"
he said, as he picked up his gloves;
•nd then added, as he remained some
what awkwardly standing in the mid
dle of the room: "How is your train
ing-school building getting on? I sup
pose it is hardly finished yet?"
Barbara made some sort of an
«wcr, and Mrs. Ward added a word
about what Barbara had been doing
while Mr. Morton had been gone.
Morton expressed his interest in
some particular item of information
given by Mrs. Ward, and told a little
incident that had come under his own
observation during his lecture tour.
Mr. Ward asked a question sug
gested by something the young min
ister had said, and that seemed to
remind him of a story he had heard
on the train. Before anyone realized
«xactly how it happened, Morton was
seated, talking in the most interest
ing manner about his trip. lie had a
keen sense of humor, and some of the
scenes he had witnessed while on his
tour were very funny as he told
them. Barbara found herself laugh
ing 'with an enjoyment she had not
felt for a long time. She was delight
«d with Morton's powers of dramatic
description and the apparently un
failing fund of anecdote that he pos
sessed. She wondered at his remark- j
able memory, and her wonder was |
■evidently shared by Mr. and Mrs.
Ward, who had long thought Morton
a marvel in that respect.
In the midst of a most interesting
account of the way he had been in
troduced to a western audience by a
local character, a neighboring clock
in one of the city buildings struck
ten.
Morton stopped talking and rose.
"1 had no idea it was so late. Par
don me." He said good-night some
what abruptly, and started for the
door.
"You're sure you haven't left any
thing this time?" asked Mr. Ward.
"I have, though," Mr. Morton an
swered with some confusion, as he
■came back to the table and took up
bis hat, which he had dropped there
when he took up his gloves. As he
did so, he glanced at Barbara, who
Towered her eyes and turned towards
the kitchen as if togo out.
"I get more absent-minded every
day,"he said, somewhat feebly.
"You need a wife to look after
you," said Mrs. Ward with decision.
6he had picked up her work, which
she had dropped in her lap while
Morton was telling stories, and was
intent on finishing it.
Barbara opened the kitchen door,
•nd went out just as Mr. Ward said
with a lauyh: "Probably every wom
en in Marble Square church has some
particular wife in view for you, and
you will disappoint all of them when
you finally make a choice without
consulting them."
"I probably shall," replied Morton,
quietly, and, saying good night again,
he went away.
Mr. Ward was silent a few minutes,
and then said, as if he had been
thoughtfully considering a new idea:
"Morton didn't seem at all dull or
tired after coming back for his
gloves. Have you thought that there
might be a reason for it?"
"No. What reason?" Mrs. Ward
looked up suddenly from her work,
startled by Mr. Ward's manner.
"I think he enjoys Barbara's com
pany."
"Richard Ward! You don't mean
to say that Ralpii llorton would
marry Barbara!"
"I not only think he would; I
think he will," replied Mr. Ward,
quietly.
Mrs. Ward was too much surprised
at the unexpected suggestion to offer
a word of comment at first. The
thought of such a thing was so new
to her that she hrd been totally un
prepared for it.
"How would you like to have Bar
bara for your minkt ir's wife if" Mr.
Ward asked, in the bantering tone he
sometimes used.
Airs. Ward was on the point of re-
plying ft little sharply. But suffer
ing had done its mellowing work in
her life. Before Carl's death she
would have resented as an unparal
leled impossibility such a thought as
that of the pastor of the Marble
Square church choosing for his wife
even a girl like Barbara, his intellec
tual and Christian equal. But many
things since Barbara's coming into
the home had conspired to change
Mrs. \vard's old habits. And, as Mr.
Ward asked his question now, she
saw a picture of Barbara and Carl as
they had been one eveifcng a few days
before the child's death. His little
arms were about Barbara's neck, and
his pale, thin cneek was lying close
against hers.
"If it should come to that," she
finally answered Mr. Ward's question
slowly, "I am sure there is one wom
an in the Marble Square church who
will not make any trouble."
Mr. Ward looked surprised. But,
as he went out into the front hall to
lock the door for the night, he mut
tered: "A man can never tell what a
woman will say or do when she is
struck by lightning."
During the week that followed Bar
bara spent all the time she was able
to spare from ner own work in se
curing facts connected with her pro
posed plans. Mrs. Ward herself went
with her to several well-known
houses in Crawford, and introduced
her to her friends. In every instance
Barbara found there was the great
est possible interest in the subject,
but no two women seemed to agree
as to any policy or plan. There was
unanimous agreement on one thing;
namely, a need of capable, Intelligent,
honest servants in the house, who
were to be depended on for continu
ous service, or for at least a period of
several years that might be reckoned
as continuous, the same as a busi
ness man could count on the con
tinuous service in his employ of a
competent bookkeeper or clerk who
was necessary to the welfare of the
business, but no more so than a
competent servant in continuous
service is necessary to the welfare
of the home.
"The trouble is," one woman after
another would say, "in the girls
themselves. They do not have any
ambitions as a class. They do not
wish to be taught. They resent ad
vice. They are ungrateful for nearly
all favors. They do not thank any
body to try to improve their condi
tion. We are tired of constant efforts
made to solve an unsolvable problem
with the material that must be used."
Still, in spite of all discourage
ments, Barbara bravely determined
togo on, and her next effort was di
rected toward the girls who had ex
pressed a willingness togo into serv
ice in the home instead of the store
and factory.
She managed to call all these to
gether Saturday evening at her own
home and with her mother helping her
she made a pleasant evening, serving
some light refreshments and enter
taining the girls with music and pic
tures.
There were eight of them in all.
Two of them had had a little experi
ence at house service. None of them,
"I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU, MISS CLARK."
Barbara found on questioning, was
really competent to manage the af
fairs of a household. Two were
American girls who had lived on
farms, and had come into Crawford
to accept small places at Bondman's.
Their experiences there had not been
pleasant, and they were ready to try
something that promised at least a
temporary financial relief.
Barbara gave a little impromptu
talk before the girls went home, and
ended by asking the girls to ask ques
tions or talk over in a general way the
prospects of housekeeping service as
she had described it to them.
"Do you think, Miss Clark, from your
own experience, that the hired girl's
loss of social standing is the one great
obstacle to the settlement of the ques
tion of service?" one of the American
girls asked. She was a bright-looking
girl, evidently a lover of fine-looking
dresses, and, as Barbara discovered,
with habits of extravagance far be
yond her little means to gratify.
Barbara hesitated a moment before
she answered.
"Yes, I think perhaps that is the
most serious factor in the problem.
I don't consider it unanswerable. I
believe that Christian housekeepers
and Christian servants can find an an
swer that will satisfy them both."
"I think the irregular hours are the
hardest part of the housework," said
one of the girls, an honest-faced Ger
man, somewhat older than the others.
"I worked two years for a family in the
west, and some d&ys I did not get
through my work until nine and even
ten o'clock at night. One reason I
have liked the store is because the
hours of labor have been regular. I
know just exactly how long I have to
work. But I cannot earn enough where
I now am. I saved over one hundred

and fifty dollars one year when I was
out working at fuur dollars a week."
"It's the dirty work that I don't like,"
spoke up a careless-looking girl whom
Barbara had found in the bundle de
partment at Bondman's. Barbara
did not know just what it was that
had drawn this girl to her; but some
thing had done it, and there was some
thing wry atractive about Barbara to
the girl, and she had expressed a cer
tain readiness to learn the work of a
servant so as to be competent.
"That never troubled me any," said
the neatest girl of all. "My trouble
was caused by not knowing how to do
the work satisfactorily. 1 found I did
not know how to plan for the meals
and cook them properly. One of my
friends, who was in the next house,
was a splendid cook and manager. It
was a large family, but she seemed to
throw the work off easfiy, because she
knew how to plan it right."
"That's it!" Barbara spoke eagerly.
"Is it any wonder that so many women
complain at the troubles they have
with servants when so many of them
have 110 experience, and yet claim as
high wages as if they had? A book
keeper would not expect to get and
retain a place in a business firm if he
did not understand the business of
keeping books; yet the housekeepers
tell me that girls are continually com
ing into their houses, claiming to be
competent for the work when in real
ity they do not know anything about it.
It is necessary for the girls to put
themselves in the places of the house
keepers and ask: What should I have a
right to expect from a girl who came
into my house as a servant?"
"There's another thing I hear other
girls complain about," said one of the
older of the company. "They say that
in most families the scale of wages
paid to servants never changes.
They say they never get any more a
week after years of working than
they got when they begun. I know one
girl who has been with one family five
years. The first year she had two dol
lars and seventy-five cents. The third
year they increased her wages to
three and a half for fear of losing her,
and they have remained at that figure
ever since. Girls who work out do not
have the ambition to get on that young
men in a business firm have. They
cannot look forward to a better condi
tion or higher pay."
"That isn't true in some families I
know," replied Barbara. "I know
some people in Crawford who offer in
creased wages for increased ability or
length of time the girls stay with them.
Of course, we have to remember that
most people who hire labor for the
house claim that they can afford to
pay only about so much for such work.
The woman who lives next to Mrs.
Ward complains because Mrs. Ward
gives four dollars and a half a week.
The other woman says she is un
able to pay so much; but all her girls,
when they hear what lam getting,
want as much, whether they are ca
pable of earning it or not. Then, be
cause she cannot pay it, they become
dissatisfied and leave her. I am afraid
Mrs. Ward has made an enemy out of
a neighbor on my account, by paying
me what she thinks I am worth."
"Don't you think you are entitled to
the four and a half?" asked the care
less-looking girl.
"Indeed, I do," replied Barbara,
laughing. "I think I earn every cent of
it."
"Then I don't see what right the
other woman has to find fault with
Mrs. Ward for paying it."
"I don't, either," said Barbara,
frankly. "But perhaps the whole
question of wages belongs to the ques
tion of ability. I don't think, though,
that we need to talk so much about
that as about the need of a true
thought of what service means. There
is practically no ideal of service in the
minds of most girls to-day. To serve
is to follow Christ, who was a servant.
To serve a family, to minister in the
name of God, to keep on faithfully
every day in the line of duty, working
cheerfully, heartily, washing dishes
clean, sweeping rooms without shirk
ing, learning the best ways to prepare
food for the household —all this is part
of a noble life, and it is this thought of
the dignity and nobility of service that
is lost out of the world to-day. It must
be recovered before we can begin to
solve the question. There must be on
the part of the mothers and housekeep
ers and on the part of the girls who
consecrate themselves to home minis
try a real thought of the real meaning
of a servant's ptace in the economy of
life. The homes of America must learn
to sanctify and beautify the labor of
the hands. Not until our social Chris
tianity has learned the lesson of min
istry, and learned that it is as noble
to minister in the kitchen as in the
pulpit, not until then shall we begin
to have any answer worth having to
the question of service in the home."
Barbara stopped suddenly, and then
said, with a smile at the little group:
"But this is a long sermon for Satur
day night, nnd see how late it is!
I can't ask you to stay any longer.
But I want you to come again."
The careless-looking girl was the
last to say good night. As she shook
Barbara's hand strongly, she said:
"I don't think the sermon was too
long, Miss Clark. I don't goto
church on Sunday, and I need preach
ing. I think maybe I owe you more
than you imagine."
To Barbara's surprise, the girl sud
denly threw her arms about her
neck and kissed her. There was a
tear on her cheek as she suddenly
turned and went down the steps and
joined the others.
"If I have such an influence over
that soul, my Lord," prayed Bar
bara that night, "help me to use it
for her salvation." It was already
becoming a sweet source of satisfac
tion to Barbara that the ambition of
her life was beginning to mean a sav
ing of other lives. She was only yet
dimly conscious of her great influ
ence over other girls.
The next day was Sunday, and she
remembered her foolish remark to
' Mr. Morton. During all his absewee
she had not been to the Marble
Square services. She had attended
elsewhere, but had not been out. ia
the evening, going to her mother's
and spending the evening reading to
her. She had at present Rev. F. B.
Meyer's book, "The Shepherd Psalm,"
and both mother and daughter were
enjoying it very much.
She was reading the last chapter,
and even as she read she remembered
that this was the night when the
Christian Endeavor society at the
Square church had the entire
service. There was no preaching aft
er the Endeavor meeting, which
closed about eight o'clock.
It was half-past eight as Barbara
finished the beautiful narrative, and
her mother had thanked her and
made comments on the clearness of
the style and its spiritual helpful
ness, when the bell rang.
They had so few visitors, espe
cially on Sunday, that they were
startled by the sound. But Barbara
rose at once and went to the door.
When she opened it, she uttered
an exclamation of astonishment. For
Mr. Morton was standing there! His
face was pale, and even stern, Bar
bara imagined, as he stood there.
"May I come in?" he said quietly,
as Barbara stood still. "I want very
much to see you and your mother."
Barbara murmured a word of apol
ogy, and then invited him to enter.
Mrs.- Clark rose to greet him, and
the minister took the seat she prof
fered him.

VARYING INFORMATION.
Dellzhtfat Dlvernlty In Itrpltei to
Uneatlona of an Intending
Ulobe-Clrcler.
A traveler who took the trans-
Siberian route across the Russias
says in "A New Way Around an Old
World" that the preliminary answers
to his questions about ways and
means were delightful in their di
versity. In America, Japan, China
and even Russia he was cheerfully
misled, in various fashions, about his
journey.
No two people agreed concerning
it, or came within sight of agree
ment. These were the comments
upon his scheme:
"It can't be done."
"You can do it easily."
"It will take two months."
"You can go through in 22 days."
"You will get stuck on the sand
bars for weeks."
"You will have no difficulty what
soever."
"The steamers run only occasion
ally, and do not begin until June."
"The steamers run daily, and the
river is open early in May."
"You will need heavy clothes and
all your winter furs."
"You will find delightful summer
weather."
"You will have to ride in cattle
cars when you have ended your jour
ney by boat."
"You will have the most luxurious
railway accommodations in the
world."
The result of experiment was, how
ever, that the journey was full of
discomforts and delays, and yet
proved well worth the trouble.
llnrold'a Pnpa \V»« "Shy."
The proud young father, after the
manner of his kind, was telling stories
about the doings of his first-born.
Many trivial incidents had been re
lated, and the little circle of listeners
had exhausted all their ingenuity in
pretending to be interested. "Tell
them the story about the penny," sug
gested the young hopeful's mother.
The proud father pretended not to
hear, then grew red, and finally shook
a violent negative with his head.
"Then I will," exclaimed the baby's
mother. "It's too cute for anything.
You know Harold will be two years old
next month, and we are now taking
him 'to church with us. His father al
ways gives him a penny to putin the
collection plate. Well, last Sunday
the plate was being passed, and some
one dropped a coin on the floor. It
made quite a loud noise, and Harold
turned to me and asked, in a voice
loud enough to be heard all over the
church: 'Mamma, whose penny are
that?' Wasn't it the cutest thing?
Of course he thought that nobody
ever gave more than a penny because
that's all his papa ever gives him."
Then the proud young father blushed
more deeply than ever.—Philadelphia

An Emergency Cane,
The doctor in charge of the school
had always laughed at the idea of our
ever making practical use of our
"First Aid to the Injured" lessons. He
had muttered something about "shoe
makers sticking to their lasts," and
then had said: "You teach the chil
dren —that's your line, and wait for
me to come if anything happens."
Therefore when our delicate little
Nannie fell downstairs we had not
merely the desire to give her imme
diate relief, but also a deep-seated
but unspoken wish to show that man
that we could do something. Nannie
had murmured: "My ankle —I twisted
my ankle," before she fainted. To
bind it then might help, and certainly
could not harm her. The emergency
bandages were produced, and, delight
ed to see that there was as yet no ap

CRIDLER'S NEW JOB.

Fitted (or Aii>- Position
of Trout.
Thomas W. Cridler, third ass-istant
secretary of state, hat/ resigned. The
announcement was made at the state
department by Mr. llay, secretary
of state. At the same time Air. Hay
stated that Mr. Cridler had accepted
a place with the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition company as European rep
resentative for the exposition. It is
believed the vacancy created will be
filled by the appointment of Mr. Her
bert H. D. Pierce, now secretary of
the United States embassy at St.
Petersburg, Russia.
Mr. Cridler has been connected with
the state department for 27 years past,
lie has' served as assistant secretury
since April, 1897. During his long
term of service he has filled many dif
ferent positions in the state depart
ment, and has met and known inti
mately some of the most famous of
American diplomats. He has traveled
on special missions for the depart
ment, and has met the leading diplo
mats and public men of Europe. His
acquaintance with method.sin the
state department is< probably not ex
ceeded by that of any other man.
Mr. Cridler was born at Harper's
Ferry, Jefferson county, Va., now
West Virginia, and entered the de
partment of state at Washington, D.
C., July 1, 1875, in the twenty-third
year of his age, receiving an annual
salary of S9OO. July 1, 1880, he was
promoted to class 1; November 1, 1881,
to class 3; February 1, 1884, to class
4, and was' appointed chief of the dip
lomatic bureau July 15, 1889. He was
commissioned third assistant secre
tary of state, his present position,
April 8, 1897. Nearly the whole of the
twenty-three continuous years of his
official service have been spent in tht

(European Representative of Louisiana
Purchase Exposition.)
diplomatic bureau. During that
period many important international
questions have been discussed and
reached a satisfactory conclusion. In
many of these, naturally, he has* borne
a conspicuous part. As assistant sec
retary of state he has immediate
charge of the consular .service, direct
ing the more important part of its;
correspondence and signing all tha
official mail addressed to the consuls.
The volume of labor required to per
form this service intelligently and sat
isfactorily is great.
Mr. Cridler unites executive and lit
erary ability in an unusual degree. He
is not only personally able to perform
an immense amount of work, but ha,s
the facility of keeping others steadily
occupied. Mr. Cridley is a positive
character, direct in his 1 methods, quick
in his judgment of men and measures,
and has the reputation of being true
to his friends. His friends are all firm
ly attached to him.
His designation by the president a.s
special commissioner to the interna
tional exposition at Paris', of 1900,
was made shortly after the death of
Maj. Moses P. Handy, and Mr. Crid
ler's visit to Paris was for the purpose
of completing Maj. Handy's unfinished
work in connection with the participa
tion of the government of the United
States in the approaching exposition.
This was Mr. Cridler's fourth trip to
Europe on official duty, his last, being
with the monetary conference at
Brussels in 1892.
Mr. Cridler, unlike most diplomats,
is frank, blunt and plain-spoken. He
seldom conceals his thoughts, and
usually says exactly what he means;
His brusque ways' are those of the
average American, and have made him
feared as well as respected by the for
eign representatives. Although there
is more red tape in the state depart
ment than in any other bureau, Mr.
Cridler dete.sts fripper}' and delay,
and would rather cut the red tape
than untie it.

Pekin, Nov. 9.—An imperial edict
has arrived Here appointing- Yuan Shi

ince) to be governor of the province
of Chi Li, and appointing Wang Wen.

foreign office and a member of the
cabinet, to succeed Li Hung Chang aa
plen ipo ten ti a ry.
A violent dispute with I'aul Lessar,
Russian minister to China, over the
Manchurian treaty, appears to have
been the immediate cause of the
death of U Hung Chang.
The diplomatic events preceding
this tragic climax have enabled Japan
for a moment to frustrate the de
signs of Russia. A fortnight ago the
Japanese legation secured an outline
of the terms of the treaty and
thereupon demanded that the Chinese
plenipotentiaries officially lay before
them the text, basing this demand
upon the allegation that Japanese in
t.rests were involved in any change
of the status of Manchuria.
The Chinese refused to comply with
the demand. Thereupon the Japan
ese government communicated with
the southern viceroys and induced
thetm to use tlieir influence with the
empress dowager against the treaty.
In the meantime the empress dow
ager instructed Li Hung Chang to
communicate the treaty, after certain
modifications, to the ministers of the
powers, and, if they did not object,
to sign it.
Li lilting Chang visited M. Lessar
and explained to him the instructions.
The Russian minister objected to re
vealing the text of the treaty to the
ministers of the other powers, and a
stormy interview ensued. Li Hung
Chang went home in a violent pas
sion and hail a hemorrhage, which the
doctors attribute to the over-exertion
of a weakened system.
While these things were happening
in Pekin, the southern viceroys sent
to the empress dowager a memorial
against the treaty. On receiving it
she telegraphed to Li Hung Chang
countermanding the order to sign.
This instruction came after Li
Hung Chang had become unconscious.
When M. Lessar endeavored to have
Li Hung Chang's seal affixed to the
treaty, Chou Pu, provincial treasurer,
had taken charge of the seals as the
temporary successor of Karl Li.
