It was evident that the Judge was a
hospitable man. The coming of his
guest was unexpected, the guest him
self was unknown, and consequently
no preparation had been made, but the
Judge's greeting was cordial, and the
judge himself attended to the wants of
the horse.
The Judge, it should be stated, was a
farmer, but it was generally under
stood in the country round about that
Be had at one time been a Judge In the
city. At any rate, he certainly had
been a lawyer, for he even now gave
legal advice to his neighbors when re
quested to do so, and so he just natur
ally became known as "the judge," al
though he said little about bis city life
and experiences, and never obtruded
bis legal learning upon any one.
No one would have taken him for a
Judge when he came forward to meet
Ernest Bullard. He wore a dilapidated
straw hat, clothes that showed contact
With the soil, heavy boots, and hl face
was tanned to a good Imitation of
leather.
"Glad you stopped," he said, pleas
antly. "Just had supper, hut I guess
there's some left."
"Why, thank you," returned Bullard.
"I was going to ask if I could arrange
Cor a bite to eat, and then I'll push on
to Gibson."
"Too far," said the Judge. "It'll be
dark long before you can get there,
and you'd stand a good chance of los
ing your way. I shall esteem it a priv
ilege to have you Btop with me for the
night"
Bullard looked at the farmer in sur
prise. He knew nothing of the Judge
or his- history, and, while be was pre
pared for the hospitable treatment one
usually gets In the country, he was
not prepared to have the Invitation ex
tended in exactly this fashion.
"I am pretty tired," be said at last.
"I'm not used to long drives, and I
lost a good deal of time by getting Into
the wrong road. Otherwise, I should
have been at Gibson before this."
"Ellen," called the Judge, and a
pleasant faced but tired looking woman
Appeared in the doorway. "We have a
guest tonight. Cau you scar up a lit
tle supper.
"I'll be ready by the time you're
put up the horse," she answered.
6o Bullard, seeing that the Judge
took personal charge of the horse,
went him to the barn and assisted so
far as bis inexperience would permit
"I have only one man," explained
the Judge, "and he's so busy with the
hores Just now that It's hardly fair
to put anything more on him. I at
tend to the little odds and ends in tbe
evening while I'm resting up for the
next day. I've reached a point where
a day of from 6 to 6 Is about my physi
cal limit I bave to take It reasonably
easy the rest of the time. I even up
With the man In the morning, when I
am fresher."
"A workday of from 6 to 6 Is more
than enough for any man," said Bul
lard. "It's too bad you can't give some
of the work to the Idle city men who
need if
"Yes," said the Judge, drily, "It's too
bad; but the farm owner finds that he
has to go the limit of his physical en
durance in order to succeed. If phy
sically able, he must work longer
hours than he can ask or expect any
employe to work. I did so as long as
my strength would permit it"
"That is equally true of the city,"
said Bullard. "There is no eight hour
day for the employer who succeeds
at least not while he is gaining suc
cess. He must work hard, of course,
but our real sympathy must ever be
tut the man who has no work to do.
There are thousands such In the cities
now."
The Judge made no reply, and pres
ently led his guest to the bouse, where
a substantial supper was then ready
for him. ' Later they went outside to
smoke. There was a pleasant .view
from the porch, and two old chairs
made them reasonably comfortable.
"You are Interested in the unem
ployed?" said the Judge, inquiringly.
"Greatly," returned Bullard; "I
might almost say that I am making

the subjict a life study. There Is
something radically wrong."
"Yes," conceded the Judge, "there Is
something wrong." -
"I do not pretend to say where the
fault lies," continued Bullard, "or
what may be the remedy. I know that
no one man ever will be able to apply
the remedy, even If he discovers It;
but one man may do much to amelior
ate conditions here and there. That Is
my Immediate aim."
"A praiseworthy ambition," com
mented the Judge.
"Not at all," returned Bullard. "A
man Bhould have some occupation, and
I was born to none merely to an in
heritance. I became Interested In this
subject, quite accidentally, through
seeing something of the suffering that
case merely opened up a wider view
follows industrial depression. I helped
a little in Individual vases, but each
of poverty and want There were
men crying for work and no work to
be had. It did not seem right. Having
nothing else to occupy the mind, I
gave my attention to this, seeking to
learn the reason and the remedy, and
helping while I sought. I Mould not
change industrial conditions, but I
could do something in other ways."
Bullard paused and looked at the
Judge rather doubtfully.
"Please believe me," he said, "when I
say that I am seeking no credit for
myself, and have no wish to pose as a
philanthropist; I am merely trying to
make my purpose clear and prove my
own sincerity." "
" Iqulte understand, and I am Inter
ested," returned the Judge. "Please go
on."
"I have built some so-called 'model
dwellings,' and with others bave in
vested in model tenements not with
the Idea of making money, but solely
with the Idea of putting a clean,
wholesome life within reach of even
the most poorly paid. I have fought
slum conditions in every way that
seemed practical, and, realizing that
even a gift home Is of small advan
tage to the starving family, I have
contributed to the Immediate relief as
sociations. I want wou to understand
that I try to be a practical, and not a
theoretical, reformer. While my aim
has been an ultimate general Improve
ment of conditions, I have not neg
lected present needs. And In these
present needs lies the great problem
the need of wsrk. There Is always
the need of work in the city; there are
always men who cannot get It, and re
cently this matter hag become unusual
ly serious. The bread line is long, the
soup kitchens are over taxed, and we
have had to establish new relief sta
tions. Our work for the future has
been suspended while we attend to the
needs of the present Even so, we Im
peratively need more money than we
have been able to get."
"And your present mission T" asked
the Judge.
"I arranged some time ago to deliv
er an address at Gibson on the needs
of the slums and our methods of work,"
explained Bullard. "I seem to be re
garded as something of an authority
on the subject, and I am glad to take
advantage of this reputation to awak
en Interest in It It is not the prob
lem of one city alone, but of them all,
and it needs the thought and help of
all the people. We should have help
from the farming districts."
"No doubt it seems so," said the
Judge, noncommlttally.
"Tbe whole country should be In
terested In wiping out the slum life
of the cities. It Is as Important as
the restriction of lmmigraton, or any
of the other measures for protection
from undesirable citizenship. And,
aside from that, there is tbe dire dis
tress of the present moment There Is
work, hard work, for you, but look at
the other side of the picture think of
the despair of no work at all and
mouths to feed!"
"You think I should give for the re
lief of tbe unemployed ot the city,"
.asked the Judge, In surprise.
"I do," answered Bullard.
- "There are many rich In the city,"
suggested the judge.
"There are," admitted Bullard, "and
I confess that they do not glvs tn pro
portion to their wealth. But how doss
that affeot us? Would you leave a
wounded man lying In the street be
cause some one else, belter able to
care for him, passed byt"
"I had not thought of that," said the
Judge, refieotlvely.
"I can quite understand why this
matter never came home to you," Bul
lard went on. "You look out over your
broad acres, and the strife and tur
moil and suffering of tbe city seem
far removed from you. There Is a na
tural contentment that makes It all
seem something with which you have
no concern. Bitting here In the quiet
of the evening, surrounded by my own
great fields, I confess that I also
might forget the misery that lies so
far beyond my range of vision. It is
an ideal life, in spite of the work, or
rather because of It a life that never
can be known to the very rich or the
very poor and tor that reason it
should Inspire a man to sympathetic)
thought and action. He Bhould look
beyond his own peaceful surround
ings." "You think I should give for tbe re
lief of the unemployed of the city?"
said the judge, thoughtfully repeating
his previous question.
"I do, although you understand, ot
course that I tm considering you only
as the representative of a class."
"I understand," returned the Judge,
"and you draw a strong and Impres
sive picture. Will you permit me to
show you the other Bide of it"
"I shall he glad to have you do so."
"It will be necessary," explained
the Judge, "to dwell somewhat on my
personal affairs, but, as compensation
for that, I will agree to leave the ques
tion of my contribution to the unem
ployed entirely to your Judgment when
I have concluded."
"That Is decidedly generous,"
laughed Bullard, "for I am an Interest
ed party, and I fear you will lose by
It"
"But the fact that you have contri
buted, not alone of your money, but of
your time, shows that you are earnest,
and convinces me that you wish to be
fair, I ask no mors than that"'
"Thank you for your good opinion,"
said Bullard. "Show me the other
side of the picture, and I shall strive
to prove myself a just Judge."
"I am of the city myself," began
the judge. "Most of my life has been
spent In the city, and I thought of
the country very much as I Imagine
you think of It I looked forward to
a time when I could enjoy its peace
and quiet, for I planned in a sort ot
indefinite way, ultimate retirement to
a farm tat would ge me the health
and contentment that go with an out
door life. The time came sooner than
I expected. I bad worked hard as a
lawyer, had been elevated to the bench,
and finally found myself the victim of
a nervous disorder that necessitated
an immediate and complete change ot
life and environment The city was
for me no more; I must have more ot
physical and less of mental labor; I
must live In the open air, free from
the mental excitement of city life. To
some men this would have been a ser
ious blow, but, aside from the natural
anxiety about my health, It was not
to me. I never had had the ambition
for great wealth, and, beyond securing
reasonable comfort, money represented
nothing to me. I had a little
enough, It seemed to me, for my mod
est needs and this merely hastened
the realisation of a dream of peace, to
which my wife had looked forward as
eagerly as I, and In the same Indefinite
way. We told ourselves, when assured
that with this change my aroufcle held
no menace, that we wets rather glad
It had been forced upon us."
The Judge rose and motioned to the
fields that stretohed away on an sldd.
"Come and see what we purchased
as a foundation for our dream of rest
ful happiness," he Bald.
Together they strolled in leisurely
fashion down a lane, the Judge quiet
ly continuing his story. There were.
a bright moon and a cloudless sky, and
the condition of the fields they skirted
could be easily seen. Some were In
fair condition and some showed evi
dences of neglect
"All this looked more enticing to us
at the time," said the judge, "and we
thought we were in wonderful luck to
got it at a reasonable price. The
owner explained that he was selling
at a sacrifice because he was unex
pectedly leaving the country. I havs
learned to look with distrust on sacri
fice sales, but this seemed to be all
right The farm Is In the fruit coun
try, the soil Is good, the rainfall Is
sufficient, and excellent fruit Is raised
here. It seemed to me that tbe for
mer owner had not made the most of
his property, which I attributed to the
fact that he .probably had not the
requisite capital.' After making the
purchase, I had a reasonable margin
left for Improvements, and I went Into
the thing with enthusalsm."
"I do not see how this affects the
needs of the unemployed of the city or
your duty to them, " suggested Bul
lard. i
The Judge did not seem to hear
him.
"Tbe man did not He to me in any
particular," he went on. "All that he
said was literally true, but there was
one point upon w,hlch I neglected to
ask Information and he volunteered
none. Possibly, be thought It unneces
sary to say anything to a city man
about the unemployed of the city,"
"What!" exclaimed Bullard.
The Judge waved his hand toward a
field.
"That was formerly mine," he said.
"The unemployed of the city took It
away from me."
"What do you meant" demanded
the mystified Bullard.
The Judge waved his hand toward
another Held.
"That Is BtUl mine," he Bald. "It
;ost me something In labor and money
to get It planted, and the unemployed
of tbe city deprived tile of the crop."
Bullard saw that it had been plant
ed to potatoes, but bad run to weeds.
Before be couid speak, the judge point
ed to an orchard.
"That represents a part of my In
vestment," he Bald, "but the unem
ployed of the city say that It shall be
nothing but a loss to me this year, as
other fields and other orchards have
been In other years."
Bullard saw the fruit rotting on the
ground and began to understand.
"The lack of labor!" he exclaimed.
"The lack of labor," repeated the
judge, bitterly. "The country boys go
to the city, and the city boys and men
stay there, even when they starve.
Aside from my own trivial troubles,
Is there no menace to the country In
that?"
"May not the fault be with you?"
asked Bullard. "There certainly Is need
of work."
' "There Is need of work, and here Is
work," said the Judge. "The combina
tion seemed to be so favorable that It
gave me no worry at first. But It
proved to be a constant and a bitter
struggle. The farmer. with the large
family of boys that he was able to
keep at home was the lucky one. My
financial resources dwindled through
losses due to my Inability to work my
farm propery. I could not understand
It. There always has been a cry for
work In the city, and here was work
that any able bodied man could do.
Tne few that came along In the fruit
season were of the restless, romantic
kind, upon whom no reliance could be
placed; they would move on whenever
they happened to take a notion. And
these conditions continued until I
found myself seriously crippled finan
cially. I sent to the city for men; I
advertised in the city papers; I ap
plied to employment agentB; but It
was always the same story; many men
were seeking work, but it was work
In the city they wanted, and the farm
had no attractions for them. I read of
destitution, of appeals to the chari
table; of the deserving poor who could
not get work and these unemployed
were taking from me every year the
little profit of my farm. I abandoned
some ot my .land, because I was un
able to use It; some of the fruit that
I cultivated proved a dead loss when
the time for picking and shipping
came; I decided that I was spreading
out too thin the work that I was able
to get dons. So I concentrated all ef
forts on the most promising fields and
orchards, and let the rest go. But this
made the margin of profits Btnnll, even
with success, and I was earning tho
load of unproductive land. I had to
let some of It go, charging the loss up
to the unemployed of the city, who re
fused to be employed in the country.' I
opened a ledger account with tbe un
employed who would not come to me
In spite of my most earnest efforts to
get their services for fair pay."
The Judge paused for a moment
"I shall not attempt to give you the
figures In dollars and cents," he said
at last, "for they would seem to you
preposterously large, but nearly a
quarter of my original purchase has
gone at a sacrifice, even as tbe farm
came to me; more than a quarter of
what is left has been abandoned, and
will soon follow; an orchard has gone
to practical ruin; a large berry patch
has become waste land; the margin
of cash I had has disappeared; my
wife works as no woman should have
to work at her age; and only the most
rigid economy enables us to exist at
a(l. This, briefly, Is my ledger ac
count against the unemployed of the
city. Now, sir, how much ought to
be expected of me?"
"Nothing," replied Bullard promptly-
"Yet, I wish to be fair, absolutely
.fair," said the judge, "I must judge of
them as a class by what their per
verseness has cost me, but I know that
many, having families and owning
their own homes, feel the necessity
of finding work where they are; they
cannot well go to the country. I try
to look at the question from all sides;
but, taken as a whole, the unem
ployed of the city are begging for help
while taking from me the little I have
left by refusing work offered. Yet L
will make this proposition through
you: I will take a small family on this
farm, provided my conditions are sat
isfactory. They must agree to remain
here at least two months, and I shall
be glod to make a more permanent ar
rangement If things turn out well. I
shall expect the man to do a full
man's work, and I shall pay him ths
wages customary for that work. These
will not be the wages of the skilled
workman In the city, and L do not
know how they will conform to the
union scale, but I furnish lodging and
the same board that we have our
selves. The woman will be expected to
assist my wife and do such work as
it Is customary for a woman to do
about a farm, and she will be paid
accordingly. If there Is a child old
enough to be of assistance in berry
picking, I shall be. glad to pay It the
rate paid ol.heiPfb.lldren about, here
for the same work. I shall be paying
full wages for Inexperienced help, but
a good deal of the work does not re
quire much experience. I shall be
giving thse people an opportunity to
make money that they can save, for
they will bave practically no expenses.
Do you think you can send me such a
family under such 'conditions?"
Bullard knitted his brow and
thoughtfully reviewed the proposition.
"I think it doubtful," he said.
"And the unemployed of the city are
crying for help," commented the judgs
bitterly. Tbe Red Book.

BEES AND BLUEFLOWERS.
English Naturalist Discredits s Fslry
Tale of 8cience,
There are few scientific theories
which have enjoyed a wider popularity
than that which ascribes the origin of
flowers to the relative action of In
sects, says The London Globe. In the
"Origin of Species" Darwin expresed
the opinion that if insects bad never
existed we should have had no beau
tiful flowers, but only such poor flow
ers as are now borne by firs, oaks,
docks and nettles, and It was his "beau
tiful theory" that the world Is indebt
ed to the bee for the blue flower. Grant
Allen expressed It that flowers 'have
become blue because blue is the favor
ite color of bees," and this evolution
has become a classic in the fairy tales
of science. But G. W. Bulman re
cords in The Nineteenth Century his
experiments on the subject, and the
results of continued watching of bees
In a garden, and he comes to the con
clusion that It would be difficult to
name any color which the bees do not
appreciate just as much as blue; not
that the bee despises blue flowers.
There are blue flowers much visited,
but these are neither more numerous
in species nor more frequently visited
than green, yellow or white. If the
bee is to evolve the blue flower for
man it must not only prefer blue flow
ers, and visit them rather than those
of other colors, but it must be con
stant in Its visits. But this any ob
server can see that it does not do,
and we can only conclude that the evo
lution of the blue flower by the bee Is,
In truth, a "fairy tale" of science.
Holland 8ea Signals.
Holland seems to be pioneering a
new development of sea signals which
may render coast lightships of double
utility to vessels In time of fog. At a
point of the North sea, northeast of
Texel island is moored the Dutch light
ship Haaks, which for some days now
has been equipped with a novel sys
tem of submarine signals by means
of sunken bells. In fog, snow or hail,
or whenever from any cause the
weather is judged "thick" enough,
these hells can be sounded once every
three seconds. The system has been
installed as a practical working test,
and If the results are deemed to be
good enough It will be adopted gener
ally on all Dutch lightships perhaps
also on those of Belgium. London

' HOME-MADE JELLY BAG.
When your favorite recipe for mak.
Ins; apple or any other Jelly tells yon
to pour all through a Jelly bag, yoq
need not feel dismayed at the though!
of "another expense," for a Jelly bag
is so easily and cheaply made at horns
that the wonder is so few women
make them. Get a square yard ol
coarse flannel already well shrunk-
and fold it across to form a triangle.
Cut off seven or eight Inches at ths 1
long side of the triangle, and slops
the sides gradually to the pointed
end, then Join the two sides very
firmly from the point to the top. Bind '
the top with broad tape this will
prevent It stretching out of shapt
when being used and sew a long
tape at the top of the seam, Joining
it to the opposite side. This loop it
for the purpose of hanging it up when
not in use. Before pouring the Jelly
into the bag. It should be dipped In
very hot water for an Instant, as by
so doing ths syrup will pass throne
more quickly. New York Journal

2.000,000 feet board measure of Ore
