A snob is a pest
to society and
should be regarded
as a natural enemy
by every one who
has the good of
mankind at heart
And yet almost
all of us have a
touch of snobbery
In our natures. We
must all be vejy
careful not to let
the plant grow into
a tangle of weeds
that will choke all
the sweetness and
and human kindness
in the garden of our
Snobbery is cruel vanity and means
caddlshness. It is a desire to shine nt
some one else's expense. It means a
wlßh to contrast one's own superiority
with some one else's inferiority in a
way that will hurt and degrade them
wantonly and unnecessarily.
It is bad enough to be ashamed in
your heart if your mother is a washer
woman and your father a coal heaver.
But if you fight this touch of snob
bishness and teach yourself that the
further you rise the more pride you
must have in your humble beginnings,
this touch of snobbery will only help
you to be stronger as you conquer it.
The supreme quality of snobbery is
a parade of wealth or family in the
vulgar, selfish and even wicked desire
to humiliate those who are less fortu
nate. To the pleasure of the genuine
enob it is essential that some one else
be hurt and humiliated.
Take stock of yourself. Are you one
of the human pests? Are you a cruel,
selfish snob?
Are You Unkind?

Mike Kearney was satisfied. His evi
dence was all In shape. He left the
cracked, dirty, criminal courts build
ing on Center street and threaded hia
way into the lower east side. On Ol
iver street closo to the old Cherry hill
Bectlon, he came to a three story brick
building that had been a fine residence
In the days when Canal street was the
city's northern boundary. It had been
made over into flats, and his home was
on the top floor.
At the head of the top flight of stairs
his mother stood waiting for him. She
kissed him and, with a hand on his
arm, escorted him into the kitchen of
the flat She pulled a chair up to the
kitchen table and hung up hia hat and i
coat |
The room was spotless and had a |
wholesome, homely aspect The only j
picture on the kitchen walls—and the j
kitchen was also the dining room for j
mother and son—was that of the Sav- !
lour.
At the two open windows a gentle i
breeze of the autumn evening made '
crispy scrim curtains rise, flutter and ■
•" fall. Kearney tilted his chair back |
against the wall and sighed his con- j
tent as he sat In his shirt sleeves and (
glanced about the room. He had as I
yet said nothing.
"Ye're that solemn, Mike," protested !
his mother, "that ye'd give a good '
fairy th' blues. What's ailin' ye, lad?" j
"Nuthin'," he replied. "I gotta case '
on tomorrow, and I don't want to j
make a slip up."
"A big case?" she asked.
"No, but it's murder."
"Murder!" she echoed with awe In |
her voice.
"The Montgomery case I told ye
about"
"Oh, an* he's only a broth of a boy!"
"Crooks start young,"
She spread a clean cloth In the rear
of the little, old fashioned house, crept
to the scrim curtains and darkened
them. Kearney closed the windows
and lighted the gas Jet over the center
of the room.
The mother placed bread and butter,
boiled beef, potatoes and cabbage on
the table, and they sat down for their
evening meal. Mrs. Kearney made the
sign of the cross, and her son, from
long habit bowed his head and touch
ed his breast in three places.
They were eating In silence when the
electric bell beside the kitchen door
tingled feebly. I
"Who's that I wonder?" asked Kear
ney. reaching behind him and pressing
the button which would open the street
entrance. They had resumed their
meal when there came a light tap at
the door.
"Come In," called Mrs. Kearney.
The door opened. The light over
head flooded the frail figure of a wom
an In black. She was old and a little
bit of a creature with the frame of a
mere child. Her clothes were of poor
quality, but were wonderfully neat and
tidy. She wore an old fashioned bon
net trimmed with stiff, white rnching.
Her bands were ungloved, and they
showed small and thin and heavily vein
ed. Her face was very pale, and in
her faded eyes was a light of dreadful
; anxiety.
j "Come in, ma'am, won't ye. and have
J a seat?" asked Mrs. Kearney, leaving
her chair and going to the visitor.
The little old woman entered and
sat on the edge of a chair offered her.
"What can 1 do for you, ma'am?"
asked Kearney, half turning from his
plate.
"Ton can do everything for me, sir,"
■he replied, with a quaver in the sound

If you forget to "honor your father

Are you silly enough to wear jew

so the people who meet you in street

In this showing yourself ignorant of

Do you laugh at the blunders and

Do you Insist on having all sorts of

you go off for a day's shopping, and

Do you sneer at some one who

of every word. "I've come for my boy,
Jim—Jim Montgomery. He's In trou
ble. I just heard of It through the pa
pers." |
A wave of pity flooded the heart of
Mrs. Kearney as she looked from the
pathetic little mother to her big boned,
stolid son.
Kearney's jaw dropped, and the
knife and fork fell from his hands. He
turned cautiously and took a sly look
at the face of the mother of his quarry.
He saw that she was a woman of re
finement and not of the vigorous, as
sertive, Independent motherly type of
the east side. Her dress and her com
portment told him that she had come
from the country.
"I would have been here sooner." she
explained, "but I live on the other side
of the Hudson, you see, near Nyack.
nnd I did not know what had happen
ed. I thought my Jim was hunting a
job In the city, and when 1 did not
hear from him 1 went Into the village
to ask the advice of some of the friends
of my husband, who is dead these
many years. I then heard of my
arrest"
"Why didn't yuh go to see his law
yer?" asked Kearney.
"I went to the Tombs prison," she
told him, "and they said it was too
late for me to see my son. They did
not know the name of his lawyer, but
one of the keepers felt sorry for me
and told me that you knew all about
the case. He got your address for me."
Mrs. Kearney began clearing away
the dishes.
"He's innocent sir," the frail visitor
pleaded eagerly. "He has been my
support since he was a boy of fourteen,
and a better son no woman ever had.
He knows nothing about crime, Mr.
Kearney. He's just a country boy.
His father was a good man before
him, and I brought him up In the fear
of God. You've got a good mother, sir,
nnd you e-c-c-an"
"What can I do, ma'am?" demanded
Kearney sharply. "I'm the chief wit
ness for the prosecution. 1 gotta do
my duty, hard as It may be. The law
tells me what I gotta do, and 1 must
do It If you got witnesses bring 'em
to courts in the morning."
"I have several friends in Nyacflc
who will testify that my boy Is a good
boy," she sobbed. "They promised to
come to the courthouse tomorrow."
Kearney looked at his watch, pushed
back his chair and reached for his hat
and coat
"That's all I can tell you, lady," he
said as he departed abruptly.
Mrs. Montgomery called after him In
a thin, frightened voice, but if he beard
he did not reply.
She started up from her chair and
sank back, sobbing bitterly.
Kearney's mother brought her a cup
of tea and solaced her as best she
could, the tears flowing from her own
eyes.
•••••••
Eugene Garrett, a lawyer of Insignifi
cant attainment at the bar, but with
a certain degree of political Influence
in his assembly district was the man
chosen by the court to defend Mont
gomery. The fee he would receive
from the public treasury was a part
of his reward for his political Industry
In and out of season.
Garrett welcomed the arrival of th®
mother of his client and with the voice
of a dove assured the frightened little
countrywoman that he would move
heaven and earth to free her son. He
inquired very gently as to her proba
bility of securing funds for taking the
case to the higher courts on appeal,
should a verdict against him be reach
ed by the Jury.
Aside from the prospect of getting a
fee from her as well as from ihe court,
the lawyer took a genuine professional
interest in the mother of the defend
ant He would use her to work on the
sympathies of the jury. ' She brought
to the criminal courts building three
men and a woman, old friends from
the country about the town of Nyack.
Ail would be willing character witness
es for the accused.
They entered the courtroom with the
young assistant district attorney, his
witnesses and a flock of men drawn as
veniremen. They were hardly seated
when the door of the chambers of the
presiding justice was opened by a
court attendant and a henvy, drowsy
man in a black silk gown strode across
the room and made his way laborious-
ly and with much panting to tin daia
before a mural painting of Justice,
flanked by another of the three Fates.
A jury was quickly secured from the
panel, and twelve men who had de
clared that they were not opposed to
capital punishment, that they had not
read the newspapers, that they had no
opinions whatever and were perfectly
competent to give Montgomery a fair
trial and order his life snuffed out,
took their seats in the jury box.
The annalq of New York's courts are
packed with cases where hysterical
editorials, articles of "human interest"
by special men and women writers
forcing sympathy for murderers and
murderesses, have brought about ac
quittals. But in the case of the peo
ple or the police against James Mont
gomery there was no outcry for mer
cy. There was not enough of sqrdld
ness in the crime to give the public a
real thrill. He was not of the real
murderer's type—the kind that slays
for selfishness or hnte. He was not a
minister of the gospel nor was he the
dissolute son of a Pittsburgh million
aire.
The watchman of the bank in the
west side hud been cracked over the
bead with nn iron instrument. His
end wns ns prosaic as hsid neeu hia
birth and life. •
There was no crowd in the court
room as Garrett rose nnd announced
that the defense was ready for trial.
The policeman who tind caught the
prisoner running away from the scene
of the murder with a kit of tools sat
on the left of the prosecuting attorney.
Three other witnesses sat near them.
They were to testify that on the night
of the murder they had seen the pris
onr lurking In the Hell's Kitchen sec
tion of the city on the North river
front. One of these was a stool pigeon
of long service to the detective bureau,
a man hired to betray fellow criminals
and one whose own crimes were over
looked because of his usefulness.
There was one other witness, a man
who combined a knowledge of bacteri
ology and chemistry with a knowledge
»f the science developed by Bertillon—
anthropometry. (iarrett looked at him
curiously and wondered what part he
would play In the case. The police
had not produced this witness until
the trial was begun. It was an old.po
lice trick.
The indictment charging murder was
read, and the prisoner pleaded not
guilty.

MODISH TOUCH GIVEN
BY POINTED GIRDLE
Net, Mull and the Thinner Fabrics
Are Especially Adaptable
to This Design
8280 Fancy Blouse, 34 to 42 bust,
The deep pointed girdle makes an
attractive feature of many of the newest
and smartest gowns. This bodice shows
one with a combination of the drapery
over the shoulders that seems especially
well adapted to the present season for it
provides admirably for combinations of
thin and thick materials. In the illustra
tion, brocaded silk makes the girdle while
net makes the shoulder drapery and
straight lace banding the under portion of
the bodice, but there never was a time
when_ it was easier to make changes in
combinations and fabrics than this one
when there is almost a limitless variety.
While net is a favorite, any thin, soft ma
terial can be used for drapery and, if
something less transparent is wanted,
cripe de chine makes a good choice, or
net or lace arranged over chiffon. There
is a foundation blouse over which the
drapery and trimming of banding are
arranged but the girdle is boned to pro
vide its own support.
For the medium size, the blouse will
require I yd. of material 27, 36 or 44 in.
wide with % yd. any width for the
drapery, yds. of banding, yd. 27
in. wide for the girdle.
The pattern 8280 is cut in sizes from
34 to 42 inches bust measure. It will be
mailed to any address by the Fashion

WHSTE OF MONEY HERE'S THE WHY
TO BUY THE OHAN TO PLUCK A DUCK
That Is if You've Good Supply of
Alfalfa or Gover
Hay
One who has plenty of good clover
or alfalfa hay for the hens need not
buy wheat bran; to do so is almost the
same as throwing away money.
Alfalfa Is virtually as rich a feed as
bran and good clover hay Is almost as
rich. In some respects these feeds are
preferable to wheat bran, for they are
not so irrltatirig to the bowels. Wheat
bran Is full of gritty particles and
sharp-edged scales, which irritate the
Intestinal passages and causes the food
'to be evacuated before It is fully di
gested. It is also, frequently, the cause
ol Intestinal disorders. But even If it
had none of these objectionable quali
ties one is not warranted in buying a
feed that can be replaced by a cheaper
home-grown product.
Hens cannot, of course, be fed ex
clusively upon clover or alfalfa hay
and be expected to give a profitable
egg yield; it is too bulky for an ex
clusive diet and needs the addition of
concentrate grains to make a perfect
ration. However, in their proper place,
clover and alfalfa hay are among the
most effective and economical of egg
producing feeds. When feeding a wet
mash, finely cut clover or alfalfa, or,
what Is better, the leaves, heads and
seeds which break off and shatter out
when being handled, and may be
swept up from the feeding floor in thb
barn, should form about half of the
mixture. It Is good practice, but not
really necessary, to have such a mash
thoroughly scalded, if not cooked.
Pluming Mite 'll
Get You if You
Don't Watch Out
More inquiries as to the depluming
mi*« have been made this spring than
usual. Whether this pest has become
more general or whether poultry keep
ers are becoming more particular is
hard to tell, but it does look as if
poultry keepers, especially those not
extensively engaged in the business,
are waking up to some of the factors
that make for failure. The depluming
mit<; is in this class.
This is the time of the year when
the depluming mite is most heard of;
the pest is most common in early sum
mer and is gone in the fall and winter.
It lives among the feathers and seems
to like to eat the quill and soft part of
the feather near the skin. It produces
an irritation that causes the hen much
restlessness. The half-eaten feathers
break off, fall to the floor, leaving the
ben with a half-bare head or neck.
A careful examination of the birds
will show a collection of "dust" near
the seat of the trouble that under the
microscope will show plenty of small
mites that are none the less busy be
cause they are small. T'le skin may
bo red from irritation, but seldom is
there any scab as in mange.
On general principles the poultry
man should wage war on the English
sparrow: not only does he spread the
depluming mite, hut he is a carrier of
many poultry troubles, to say nothing
of his being a filthy bird.
Electricity Is the
Ideal Service For
Heating an Incubator
While the electric, current is rather
expensive, it. is the ideal method of
heating the incubator. Once adjusted,
there is nothing further to be done but
turn the eggs and wait the twenty
days, since the uniformity of this heat
gains a day. There is no fire risk and
no odor. On the other hand, the cost,
which depends directly on the cold
ness of the room in which the ma
chine is operated, may run as high as
10 cents per day. But peace of mind,
safety and certainty are sometimes
cheap at any price. Each person has
his own idea about added moisture,
but where there is no flame in the
room the air may be far dryer than
normal, and a wet bulb thermometer
will show that more moisture Is needed
than when a flame is used.

There Are Ways and Ways to Do
It—But Here's the Proper
Method
If ducks are killed for home con
sumption they can be slaughtered in
any way and scalded. Ducks and geese
should be left longer In the hot water
than chickens, or wrapped in an old
blunket or sack to start the- down.
If they are to be killed for market the
heads should be left on and not dis
figured In any way.
Some cities demand dry-picked
ducks and those selling In such mar
kets should acquire the art of picking
them dry. They should be killed with
a pointed knife, sharp on both edges.
This may be thrust Into the roof of
the mouth so as to pierce the brain,
then turned so as to cut the arteries
and cause profuse bleeding. Another
way is to Insert the point of the blade
just back of the head with a sawing
motion that cuts the two main arteries
and then thrust into the right eye
socket back of the eyeball till the
brain Is touched. A rap on the head
with a short club before sticking will
stun the bird and prevent much flut
tering. The secret of successful dry
picking is to get the feathers off while
the bird is dying, for as soon as the
duck is dead the muscles contract and
hold the feathers tight. After killing
the duck may be hung by the feet at a
convenient height or laid on the lap
with the head between the right knee
and the feather box.
Whatever the method followed, the
most important thing is to strip off the
feathers with all the speed possible,
with a pall of water near by, Into
which the right hand should occasion
ally be dipped in order to make the
feathers stick to it. The fingers can
get a better grip on the feathers than
when dry.
The left hand should hold the car
cass and when necessary pull the skin
taut to prevent tearing, as the right
hand pulls off the feathers by the
handful. Much of the down can be
rubbed off by the wet hand. The rest
must be pulled out separately or
shaved off with a knife of good steel.
The long flight feathers of the wings
are usually left on, as are those for
an Inch or more from the head. The
latter is not removed. Any tears of
skin should be sewed up.
More Pheasants Than
Ordinary Folks in
Merry Old England
The people of England are outnum
bered by England's domestic pheas
ants, but In Canada and the United
States the laws are not such as en
i courage the raising of game birds. In
New York the law provides that
anyone may rear and sell game birds,
but makes it a criminal oftense to ship
them. Indiana allows the rearing a*.d
selling of pheasants, but forbids ex
press and railroad companies to re
ceive them for shipment.
Unfavorable laws Is the only obstacle
to the growth of domestic pheasant
raising' In this country; otherwise the
business looks attractive as a commer
cial proposition. Ilingneck pheasants
are very hardy. They thrive In an
open field in zero weather without
protection. The birds mature In about
six months; hens lay on an average
8. r , eggs-each In a season.
Pheasants are easier to raise than
chickens. The eggs hatch in about
twenty-three days and a good' old
Plymouth Rock hen can safely be en
trusted with this job. The weight of
a mature bird is three pounds and in
the leading markets the price per
pound is sl. When It Is considered,
therefore, that a pheasant requires
only one-tenth the feed consumed by a
chicken, that it Is practically free from
diseases, and that it is the farmer's
friend because it eats the ruinous In
sects and seeds OT objectlonabe weeds.
It seems likely that pheasants would
be seen on many of our farms were I
the objectionable laws out of the way.
Gain of Twenty
Eggs a Week in
the Storrs' Contest
The feature of the thirty-third week
of the international egg-laying contest
at Storrs was a gain of twenty eggs, or
a total yield for the week of 3,309, as
compared with 3,289 for the preceding
week. This gain of twenty eggs in a
production of more than 3,000 eggs is
small, to be sure, when figured on a
percentage basis. At the same time
the price of eggs Is now steadily rising
and the cost of producing eggs at this
season Is perhaps as low as any time
of the year.
The lighter breeds are usually
thought of as nonsitters. The general
rule Is that a hen that lays white eggs
will not incubate them. There are,
however, some exceptions to this rule.
In going over the records at Storrs for
the past week it is found,.for instance,
that some of the Leghorns are broody,
though they are relatively fewer in
number, to be sure, but broody never
theless.
The ten leading pens to date are as
follows: White Wyandottes, Kngland,
1,373 eggs; White Leghorns, Connecti
cut. 1,307; White Wyandottes, Con
necticut. 1,21; White Wyandottes,
Rhode Island, 1,206; White Leghorns,
England, 1.169; White Leghorns, New
York, 1,119; Rhode Island Reds, Con
necticut, 1,111; Rhode Island Reds,
Pennsylvania, 1,088; White Leghorns,
Pennsylvania, 1,079; Barred Plymouth
Rocks, New York, 1,067.
