Jhl Buttermilk House
How a Trusl Wai Biuted j By
by a Rich Young Man. M. QUAD
Copyright, 1918, by tho McCluro
Newspaper Syndicate.
Did you over hear how n hotel enmo
to bo cnllcd tho Buttermilk House? It
was first cnllcd tho Mountain House.
But n trust In buttermilk wns smashed
there, nnd thnt cJinngcd tho nnme.
When tho hotel lmd been running for
n couplo of yenrs tho buttermilk crazo
spread from east to west, and It soon
found Its wny to the Mountain IIouso.
There was only ono man within ten
miles of tho Mountain IIouso who saw
money in buttermilk, nnd his namo
was Stebblns. Ho bought flvo cows, n
big churn nnd cans, nnd ho delivered
buttermilk to tho hotel In gallons and
charged 25 cents for every gallon that
ho delivered.
Away off in Now York city was
young Carroll Harper, who held n sit
uation In his wealthy father's bank.
IIo was nn Industrious young man In
st'end of n dnwdlcr. IIo wns nnxlous
to learn the banking business, nnd,
though riclt in ills own right, he stuck
to liis work liko somo of tho employees
who wcro getting sninrlcs of only $20 n
week. By and by n crisis came Unit
is, young Harper found his appctlto
gone, his nerves nil nqulvcr nnd his
ambition nbout fnded away. Ho went
to a doctor, and nftcr being questioned
nnd thumped nnd pawed over tho doc
tor looked him lu tho fnco with stern
ness nnd said:
"Go west, young man! Qo west, slrl'
"But why?" was asked.
"To brcntho In great chunks of ozono
nnd drink n gallon of buttermilk every
day nnd to como back hero In nbout
sixty days feeling ns well or better
than you hnvo in tho past ten years."
And tho doctor, who had heard of tho
Mountain IIouso and had sent Uirco or
four invnllds there, ndviscd tho young
man to mnko straight for that spot
nnd to order a supply of buttermilk
ns soon ns ho lind registered. His ad
vlco "was heeded, and ono morning tho
young man descended from tho stago
nnd entered tho hotel. Tho placo was
off tho railroad by fifteen miles.
They generally find out all nbout you
Tory soon nt n country hotel, 'nnd It
was scarcely two hours before it wns
generally known to tho lnndlord nnd
among the guests thnt Carroll Har
per had n financial nnd socinl Btnndlng
In tho big city in tho cast. It was nlso
known to Mr. Stobblns, nnd when ho
called to tako tho order for buttermilk
ho raised tho prlco from 25 cents to
doublo that sum because ho wns deal
ing with n rich young man.
"Isn't that doublo wlint tho others
nro paying?" ho was asked.
"Oh, it's a Uttlo more," wns tho re
ply, "but you nro rich nnd enn nfford
It What Is n qunrtcr a day to n man
of millions?"
"But it strikes mo ns extortion."
"Well, you enn tnko It or lenvo it. I
nra tho only ono around hero with but
termilk to sell, nnd I enn put nny prlco
on it I llko."
Tho young mnn who wna tho victim
of nn extortioner planned to get oven.
IIo took tho lnndlord Into his confi
dence, and thero wis a conspiracy to
smash Mr. StobbliiB' tmst.
After n ten mllo nuto rldo down tho
vulley and back only ono family wns
found so sltunted that Uioy could help
Mr. Ilarpor carry out his plans. This
family ivna composed of n widow nnd
n strnpplng daughter. They owned nnd
.worked n Uttlo farm together, but thoy
did not oven havo ono cow nor nny
outfit with which to deal with tho but
termilk question. In n conversation
tho young man had with tho strapping
girl on tho doorsteps ho asked:
"Can you and your mother milk nnd
tnko caro of six or soven cows?"
"""'a, or ten of them," sho answered.
"Can you drlvo n horso nnd wagon?"
"You bet"
And what did young Mr. Hnrpcr do?
no sent an ngent out to buy six or
coven cowb, n big chum thnt turned
with n crank, smnll cnus nnd big cans
nnd n horso nnd wngon to contract for
a supply of alfalfa to feed tho cows
on during tho winter. Wlion nil thoso
had been secured everything wna pre
sented to tho widow nnd Uio daughter
ns n free gift, and thoy wcro told to
go into tho buttermilk Industry for nil
they were worth. Thoy had to sign a
contract to supply tho guests of tho
Mountnln hotel with nil tho buttermilk
wnntcd for tho next flvo yenrs, nnd
they wcro not to nsk nbovo 15 cents
n gallon. It was figured thnt nt this
prlco tho profits would bo nbout 12 por
cent
Ono morning tho mighty Mr. Stob
blns, who had run a ono mnn trust
for two yoars, drovo up to Uio hotel In
his mightiness and began to unload his
cans of buttermilk. Tho guests ranged
themselves on tho veranda with smiles
on their faces, nnd tho laudlord kindly
but llrmly announced to Mr. Stcbblns
thnt no moro of his buttermilk wns
wanted. Tho Stobblns buttormlllc trust
was smashed. It was Bmnshed ns flat
ns a pancake. It wns smashed by n
young niun, n widow and a strapping
girl.
And when Uio strapping young girl
drovo up to tho Mountain Houso for
tho Bocond timo with tho light of tri
umph In hor eyes nnd about a barrol
of buttermilk in her wngon sho saw a
painter on a bidder In front of Uio
houso, and ho wns painting out Uio old
sign prepnratory to painting In a now
ono which Bhould rend "Tho Butter
milk IIouso." And tho hotel is thero
yet nnd Uio sign Is thcrw yet, and
every guest thero Is following tho
doctor's prdors nnd Is drinking cool,
good buttermilk. Thero is a two worn
an trust, but It is a trust to bo praised
and not busted.

When n long forgotten cousin died

having recovered from tho shock, fell
to wondering whether tho faded Uttlo

fort from her eleventh hour opulence.

Coffeo With Milk.
For mnny years after coffee wns first
drunk In Europe, says tho Manchester
Guardian, no one thought of mixing It
with milk nny moro than tho Turks
and Arabs do now. Tho uso of coffeo
au lalt seems to date from 1C87. Mmc.
do Sovigno, writing to her daughter in
that year, said that a doctor much in
voguo "has taught us to mix sugar and
milk with our coffee. They mako a
most delightful compound, which will
help to support mo through tho rigors
of Lent"

Who's the
Public?
By F, A. MITCHEL
I was to write a sccnnrlo for n mov
ing picture, having received nn order
from Formnn, tho editor of a lnrgo
film manufacturing company, who had
said to me:
"I want something up to date. Peo
plo in these days are very rcstlvo un
der tho chains of matrimony. Give mo
n piny on this subject, nnd don't bo
squeamish nbout it"
I held n dlnloguo with my char
acters with a view to finding out their
feelings, utilizing n fictitious nudlenco
ns n sort of Greek chorus. This is
wlint wns evolved.
"Mrs. Trcvelynn," I said to my lend
ing lady, "you nro tho mother of n boy
four years old, Itcglnnld. Your hus
band Is n spendthrift and is using up
tho family Income, as you suspect, on
other women. John Guilford, nn old
flame of yours nnd a splendid fellow,
sympathizes with you. IIo would sup
ply the deficiency caused by your hus
band's extravnganco, but thero is a
barrier to his doing so In your having
a husband."
"Kill hlml" shouted a virago In tho
audience. (A virago is a masculine wo-
mnn.)
"Thp husbnnd?"
"Yes."
I run my eye over tho rows of filled
scats for npprovnl or disapproval, but
got nothing definite.
"Is my boy Itcglnnld to appear as ono
of the characters?" asked Mrs. Trc
velynn.
Well, yes. IIo Is ono of tho ele
ments of tho scheme. I would much
rather lenvo him out, for ho will bo tho
hnrdest chnrnctcr of all to handle."
"Ho would bo much better off," cried
tho virago, "with n good mnn for a
stepfather than his real dcfccUvo fn-
ther."
"Guilford," I snid, "how do you feel
about your pnrt?"
"Am I to bo tho villain of Uie play?"
"No; you'ro to bo tho hero I mean
tho lending gentleman."
I like thnt! How Uio dickens do
you expect mo to mnko a hero of my
self nnd nt tho snmo Umo make lovo
to another man's wife?"
"I'll tell you what you do," said Mrs.
Trevelyan. "Bring out in your play that
my husbnnd repents or turns out to bo
n good mnn nftcr all."
"In that case." bristled Guilford,
where do I como In?"
Advancing toward my nudlence, I
noticed a very lndyliko woman with nn
Impressive fnco sitting in a proscenium
box. I nsked her for a reply to Gull-
ford's question.
"IIo should never hnvo como In at
nil."
I wns not getting on. My herolno
wns not satisfied to tnko n new hus
band; my hero was unablo to mako a
hero of himself whllo making lovo to
nnothor man's wife, nnd I hnd a child
to dispose of too young to understand
what they wero all doing.
"Come; get to work," I said to tho
players, and I began to lay down tho
Bcennrlo. I labored through three acts
and succeeded in reaching tho fourth,
In which I proposed to-dispose of tho
husband and innrry his wlfo to a no
ble, good man.
I wus relloved to sco in my hypothet
ical nudlenco thnt tho wlfo held Uiebr
sympathies pretty well, but Uio wholo
scheme broko down under a sccno that
Formnn hnd suggested as being worthy
to bo handled by n genius. Tho parUej
involved wcro Trcvelynn, hi3 wlfo and
Guilford. Tho sccno wns tho culmlnat
ing point of tho break between Uio Tro
velyans. I had nerved myself up to
tho work with tho help of ten cups of
Btroug ten and wns moving on swim
mingly when lltUo Reginald must
needs como in nnd, seeing his mother
delivering nn nddrcss to his father
thnt I hnd spent much Umo and palm
on, ran up to him, throw his lltUo arm
nbout him nnd cried out:
"Mammn, AVhy do you scold pnpa7
You mustn't scold pnpn. I won't let
you."
"Shoot Uio villain ot tho play I" cried
n volco In tho audience.
"Do you refer to me, Blr?" nsked
Guilford hotly. "I'd havo you under-
stand, sir, thnt I'm Uio hero of this
piny."
"Glvo Trev nnothor chancel" cried a
countrymnn in Uio nudlenco. "Ho
didn't menu nothln'l My olo womnn
has lots moro agin mo Uinn note done
If sho only knowed it!"
"Then you'ro a bmtol" cried n fem
inine voice.
"Wlint nro you going to do with tho
kid?" cnllcd a volco loud nbovo Uio
hubbub.
"Send him to an orphan nsylum,"
suggested n womnn in tho gallery.
"That's better thnn a father that isn't
his faUier, and a hypocrlto nt that!"
"Bettor sink tho wholo lot of 'cm!"
was tho last call I henrd nbovo tho din,
which now beenmo confusing. Jump
ing up from my desk, I run to tho
telephone, called up Formnn and said
to him:
"Who wants thnt kind of n piny you
hnvo given mo an order for?"
"Tho public."
"Who's Uio public?"
"Why, th public is the the public,
of courso."
"You menu thnt tho public is Uio
creation of men who mako a living by
producing rotten plays nnd novofc!
Get somo ono olso to writo your play
for you. I'm out of It Ooodbyl"
If as clean a piny ns mlno on this
subject crcntcs displeasuro whnt should
bo tho feelings of thoso who nro not
"tho public" at seeing ono wherein tho
wlfo and mother is bad?
