the Work Is Done.
LONDON', Jan. 7. Every American city
big enough to hnvo olio of thoso municipal
Bores called n slum will doubtless bo In
terested In tho hugo experiment Blow old
London Is undertaking. And parenthetically
It may be observed that a city that Is spend
today more- millions on municipal Improve
ment, building moro miles of up-to-date
underground ulectrlc roads and going In
for probably more municipal trading
ventures than any other city on earth Is
not ns slow iih It is usually painted.
The slum experiment now on Is nothing
lcrs than tho expenditure of 110,000,000 In
wiping out and robulld'.ng the homes of
about 40,000 people. A further program
that tnciins an expendlturo of probably an
other 110,000.000 Is now being discussed, and
oftcr theso projects nro well under way now
(.chemes will bo plaunod to tho sarao ond
and moro millions spent until tho necessity
for spending money In this way In London
lhall havo disappeared and tho city havo bo
como a landlord on an unprecedented scalo.
That will, of courso, be nt tho tlrao when
tho last of London's world-famous slums
has been wiped out and rebuilt. When that
day will dawn no ono Is prepared to tay.

Today tho "housing" problem Is tho worst
thai London has to fuco, but Its powerful
county council, which has dono several
rnther rcmarhnblo things already and which
has prnctlcally unlimited wealth to draw
upon, has determined that over-crowded,
unsanltnry niid slum nrcas must go. Tho
council has alrcndy nttneked, razed and re
built ono of tho worst sluniB In London:
several other notorious ones nro now being
torn down and still others aro doomed.
Medical inspectors In tho county council's
employ nro penetrating Into tho city's
lllthtest corners nnd condemning them. The
wretched creatures who swarm In them aro
paid a Btnall sum of money nnd turned
out. after which tho slum comes down.
Tho "before tnklng" phnso of tho coun
cils heroic remedy Is a mass of closely
pai Ited hovoln, suuaUd, unllghted and un
ventilated, reached through grimy, winding
alleys, in which tho pollco dnro to go only
In force. Tho "after tnklng" Is blocks of
trim cottages or apartment buildings, each
Hopurnted from tho other, equipped with
literally "every modern convenience," In
cluding n perfect system of draluago and
every essential for cooking. Tho apart
ments aro well lighted by day with largo
windows; nl night either by gas or elec
tricity, on tho Blot Hyfltom, whero a penny
dropped In produces gas for six hours. Near
nt hand Is a pari; or playground for recren
tlon, and baths nnd washhousca for clean
lineBS. Theso "model dwellings," more
over, nro to rent at prices which even very
poor pcoplo can afford to pay. As soon
us thu county council thrown open a new
lot of Its dwellings they aro Immediately
tenanted to their full extent.
So far, on worklngtnen's homes of this
pattern that occupy tho place of former
bluin dlstrlctB. tho London county council
hnH spent n llttlo over J3.000.000. Following
out Us program, It Is now building houses
of tho same kind which will cost over
5t.ri00.000, nnd to clear tho now districts
which tho councll'H Inspectors havo con
demned nnd which nro to be rebuilt will
cost J5.500.00!) more. Tho houses nlready
built nceommodtito moro than 10.000 people;
thoso now building nnd thoso arranged for
will glvo dwellings for 30.000 more. They
will bo finished and occupied in flvo years
from now.
i:viniMlliiK Ilt'Vonil Loudon's Hound.
Tho second scheme which tho council Is
laying out takes another way of curing tho
mmo dlacnBo of overcrowding. This Is by
nrrpilrlng trncts of land In tho country Just
out of London, building model dwellings
there, nnd connecting them with tho work
ing centers of tho city by light railways.
The dotalls of this scheme havo not been
Bettled. but members of tho council tell mc
that perfecting It will cost probnbly $10,
000.000. Of courHe theso operations, gigantic as
they nro In tho amount of money they co9t.
nro only tho beginning of tho work of get
ting rid of London's slums, but everything
points to this vnBt undertaking being enr
rcd out to tho end. Tho best reaBon for
this belief is that tho council la no longer
divided on this subject. Until n compara
tively short tlmo ago n large number of Its
n embers had llttlo faith In tho schemes thnt
the body was In tho net of carrying out.
but success has converted theso doubters,
nnd hereafter tho council will work ns u
unit In this direction. Nnturally. It Is not
planning to spend tho millions of tho city
of London without expecting to get them
back again. Tho power of money-spending
that was granted to tho council by Parlia
ment 1h on tho condition that their opera
tions shall bo so conducted that nt tho end
of sixty yenrn every Iioubo built shall havo
inld for Itself.
This housing of tho needy classes Is not
nn especially new part of tho London
county council's work, but Un grent Im
portnnco todny lies In tho dimensions to
which It has grown and Its great promise
for the future. Tho council began to re
houho on u modest scalo In 1SS3, but realized
whnt It could do only nfter It had under
taken and successfully accomplished tho
fent of tearing down tho "Old Nlchol," In
Shoredltch, one of tho worst slums In Lon
don, nnd Installing n model village, with a
pnrk and n recreation ground In Its place.
Work In (lie Worst Slums.
This district was known n8 tho "Houndnry
Street Area," and It camo to bo purified
largely through tho efforts of u Blnglo ro
markablo clergyman of tho Church of Kng
land, named A. Osborne Jay. Almost fresh
from Oxford, ho took this living, in which
eory ono of his predecessors had been
absolutely helpless. Thoso worthy men hnd
organized "culture clubs," distributed soup
tli hols with liberality, nnd dono what par
ish vlsltlug they dared, hut they never got
nearer to tho pcoplo of tho district than
was necessary to bo most humlllatlngly
victimized by them. It was a tough place.
Tho last policeman who had entered It
alone, while In pursuit of n sncakthlef. had
had his skull crushed In by un Iron grating
deftly dropped from n second-story window.
The first thing that Dr. Jay did when he
"took over" his new parish was to show lw
Inhabitants thnt ho wasn't afraid of them -that
he could, on occasion, be a militant
Christian. Then ho set to work to find out
what sport they liked best of any kind and
discovered thnt It wns boxing. So ho opened
n largo room with every facility for tho
I practice or. tne mnniy an, inciuuing gioves,
nnd Invited tho men to como thcro and spar.
They flocked to It, an honor which they
had never paid to tho old "club rooms,"
whero dominoes, checkers and chess con
stituted tho attractions. It was no drawing
room boxing that subsequently reigned In
that room. A bloody nose was among tho
preliminaries; no ono regarded the loss of
a tooth or two, and tho bouts almost al
ways "went" tilt tho knockout came. Kvcn
tho parson's strict rule of no swearing or
bad languago scarcely affected tho popularity
of tho place. Ho was nlways there, and, as
tlmo went on, even tho m6st hardened men
In the district recognized tho fact that their
preacher was no "softy." as they put It.
And so ho got his first hold on them. The
story of how ho won tho wholo district to
respect nnd almost to love him Is too long
to bo told here, but now In the spot whero
stood tho worst part of tho "Old Nlchol"
stands Dr. Jay's famous church with n
boxing room In Its basement! Dr. Jay It
was who egged the London County Council
on to rebuilding tho slum. Tho story of
his long fight was told by Arthur Morrison
In his novel, "A Child of the Jago," of
which Dr. Jay, or "Father Jay," as he Is
now affectionately known In tho "Jago,"
Is a prominent figure, and which Is dedicated
to him.
Whnt n Tjplcat .Slum Is I.IUe.
A picture of this part of Shorcdttch as It
was before Dr. Jay's crusado gives a fair
Idea of tho other congested London districts
with which th? county council Is cither
dealing or gottlng ready to deal. Tho houses
were built bo that their ground floors wcro
sometimes mora thnn a foot below tho
street level, ni.d In building them a cheap
sort of mortar, known ns "llllly sweet,"
hnd been used, n distinguishing feature of
this BUbstanco being that It never dried. In
tho district there was no street moro thnn
twenty-eight feet wide. Most of tho
thoroughfares were mero alleys. No house
boasted a front door, no house was over re
paired nnd such backynrds as had onco
existed had been roofed over to make now
dwellings. Pcoplo slept out on the slde
wnlks to avoid ono kind of vermin In tho
houses and burned cnndlo stumps to scare
off another kind. Tho death rato In tho
district wns forty per thousand, and It Is
no exaggeration to say thnt every man In
tho slum was nomo kind of a criminal. At
ono tlmo thcro wero sixty-four tlckct-of-lenve
men there, nnd when onco a criminal,
cither a thief or murderer, had slipped be
tween tho two posts thnt marked tho en
trnnco to what Arthur Morrison called tho
"Jago," tho pollco gave up tho pursuit.
In tho slum thcro wns what wns known us a
"royal famllv." who kinged It over tho
district, but there wns also n pretender and
his gang, and when tho two cliques met
In battle, which they often did, tho district
literally ran with blood.
Ihe nverngo rato of population per aero
In Loudon Is nbout fifty-seven In somo of
theso slum districts In renches 316. In one
of them thero nro fifty-four dwellings, In
which 1,600 people llvo or die. In tho rooms
of such hovels the principal article of fur
niture Is generally tho bed, which nearly
tills tho apartment, nnd which serves for
tho wholo family, no matter how numerous
It tnny be. As many an can, generally tho
father, mother and any "guest" who may bo
enjoying their hospltnllty, with, say, thrco
of tho older children, occupy tho top of
the bed. The rest of tho family sleeps
under It. Generally every article of cloth
ing recks with filth. The windows of the
room, concealed behind grimy curtains, nro
never washed, and tho room Is In practical
darkness. Sometimes two families "go
snooks" on the same room nnd bed, tho
first using It from 7 until midnight nnd
then decamping, when tho second retires
In tho warm bed. Children of bucIi dis
tricts, sent to school and falling asleep In
their seats, complain that they had no
sleep the night before, ns thoy had to flght
"tho bugs" all night long. Threo rooms
in such a dwelling wero visited. In the
first lived n mon, woman nnd six children,
who rented a llttlo cupboard nf an annex
to two moro grown persons; In tho second
lived n father, mother and threo grown-up
children, while tho third wns occupied by
tho parents nnd four children, to say noth
ing of an adult "lodger."
I'lmi nf Action.
This is tho sort of thing that tho London
County Council is now prnctlcally unani
mous In endeavoring to get rid of. The
principal criticism that has been made of
tho countilmcn's system Is that when they
pull down ono of theso slums and build
model dwellings on tho site, tho people who
como Into tho new are not thoso who were
driven out of tho old. I asked a prominent
olllclnl of tho council his opinion In tho
matter.
Ho said: "It Is true, wo don't get back
tho pcoplo wo turn out, but our theory Is
that ns wo aro gradually wiping out tho
worst slums, tho refugees from ench will
havo to locate In a district thnt is a little
better than that from which thoy nr
evicted, nnd bo, ns wo work nlong, rebuild
ing district by district, we expect that oven
tho lowest of them will bo raised gradually,
little by llttlo, to cleanliness, and order,
and decent living."

CInro Mcntagu'B great dark eyes glowed

"I am benutlful, 18 ard worth $11,000,

Then a shadow flitted across her glorious
countenance.
"If ho Is all thnt he claims to be," she
mused, "how docs It happen that ho need

Gradually her misgivings undermined thus
tho sweot vision that had risen before her,
until It lay In ruins at her feet.

If ono may Judge from the newspaper ac
counts, the Omaha messenger boy differs
materially from thoso of other cities espe
cially from thoso of New York and Chicago.
Thcro tho boy with the lettered cap talks
with a marked Chlmmy Knddcn Jargon
that Is most bowilderlng and which, In Us
printed form, Is made up mostly of apostro
phes. In Omaha, however, It Is different.
Hero ho spenks much llko other people.
Though ho uses slnng, ns do nil healthy
boys, ono doesn't hnvo to call In an In
terpreter In order to carry on a conversa
tion with him.
Whatever ho may lack In plcturesriucness
by reason of his respect for tho queen's
Kngllsh ho Is well abreast of his kind In
tho larger cities In tho matter of unique
oxpcrlcnccs. He "goes up against" situa
tions every day that could bo woven Into a
novel with good effect. He gets hard
knocks; ho works nil hours of tho day and
night; ho mingles with all classes, from
tho highest to tho lowest, and beforo ho
graduates from tho "business" becomes nn
excellent Judgo of human nature, all of
which Is In Itself a good capital for be
ginning tho broader dealings of later life.
In n .School of Ills Oivn.
While other boys, generally considered
moro fortunate, are nt school getting high
per cent marks on nlgcbra and psychology
ho Is nttcndtng a little college of his own
which tenches how to parry tho blows In
life's prize ring. And If ho is a ecnstble
boy ho comes out of the ordeal much Im
proved by tho hard lessons ho has learned.
Hero aro a few actual experiences re
lated by Omaha messenger boys:
Jlmmlo McNeill ("Mlckle do Kid")
Well, I've gono up against lots of quonr
ones. Ono tlmo I went out to Shccly sta
tion for a bloke at tho Karbach hotel. It
was ft 25-cent run, nnd when I got back ho
handed mo a dlmo and told me to keep tho
change.
Hay Van Warmer I run over a dog one'
tlmo at Nineteenth nnd Douglas streets
and killed It. It pretty near killed mo,
too, nnd I wns laid up for a week, but tho
woman thnt owned the dog wanted to have
me arrested.
Earl Dennis ("Ham, Jr.") One time
about 3 o'clock ono morning I had to tako
a lunch enrt from Sixteenth and Farnam
streets down to Thirteenth and Harney. Tho
man that owned It wns sick or something.
I started with It, trying to draw It along
behind my wheel, but tho blame thing got
away from mo and went rattling down tho
hill, throwing lunch every which way. Just
ns I was overtaking It n copper camo out
of a doorway and wnntcd to arrest me
said I'd stolen tho cart, and I had to put
up a pretty stiff spiel to keep out of tho
station.
Shnrkey'n nie Tip.
Ficd Sharkey Did I ever tell you of the
time I worked a guy for n J:' tip? Well,
you aee. It happened this way. He'd only
been going with tho girl about a week, and
I took a note out to her house on Kranklln
street, near Thirty-seventh, to ask her to
go to tho theater. When I rung tho bell
an old dnme with spectacles and spit curls
down the sldo of her faco camo to the door
and I glvo her tho note. She read It, and
I could seo sho was mad ull right. She
asked mc to come In und wait, and in about
twenty minutes sho came back with a bllllo
docks In a little pink envelope nnd told
mo to tako It to his nibs. Well,
I wnn dead wlso that the old girl
had scribbled that noto herself, nnd I was
wlso that she told him to steer clear of
thnt house, but I kept It under my hat, and
dohvered tho pink envelope. And say his
nibs was sore. "Who did you glvo tho
noto to?" ho says. "I don't know a thing,"
I says, "Did you seo Miss er tho young
Indy?" ho says, and, "I'm deaf and dumb
and blind," I says. And say! I worked
him that way till I mado him cough up a
cartwheel; then I told him, and ho was so
tickled ho gavo mo nnothcr bone. That
was tho biggest touch I ever made.
Then the manager told a story of Arthur
Tinker, a messenger boy who was too mod
est to tell It himself. Ono night Inst week
Arthur wns delivering a message In nn
eastern suburb, when his wheel fell In n
rut nnd ho wns thrown violently to tho
ground, dislocating his thumb. Although
ho wns suffering lntcnao pain, ho bravely
continued his trip, delivered tho message
and roturned, nnd not until ho passed his
ticket to tho clerk did his nervn fall. Then
he fnlntcd, nnd wns sent homo In n hack.
Altogether tho life of a messenger boy
Is not envinble. Thero Is n bright spot In
It onco In n while, but on tho wholo It has
almost as many ups and downs as tho career
of an elevator boy.

dlvldunl lunch pail has not proved entirely
sntlijfnctory. In ninny rltlca lunches nro
prepared nnd served In tho school building,
and this nrranKcmcnt seems to havo met
with considerable miecrsH. lloforo this
8crvlco wns provided ninny of tho children
bought lunches consisting of pics, chocolate
cclnlrs, doughnuts, etc., from tho nenrhy
bakeries, articles hardly suitnhlo for ,n
child's midday meal. In tho school lunch
rooms hot purees nnd cream soups nro
served, milk, cocoa nnd sandwiches, with,
somotlmcs, fruit and light desserts. These
aro sold nt tho lowest possible prices, some
times no charRO nt ull belnit mnde. In somo
schools tho children bring fruit nnd sand
wiches and aro served with ono hot dish
from tho school lunch room.
An experiment has been mado In sovernl
places combining tho lunch room und cook
ing classes, but hns been found most unsat
isfactory, uh justice cannot bo dono to tho
cooking classes if they nro obliged to fur
nish food for tho luncheons. It hns been
fdund most expedient to engngo n capable,
Intelligent woman, ono understanding tho
rolatlvo values of foods, v ho has chnrgo of
tho lunch room, prepares tho menus nnd
has n general oversight of tho children dur
ing tho luncheon hour.
Sufficient tlmo for luncheon should bo
given and tho children should bo obliged to
eat slowly, Instead of rushing through tho
meal In llvo minutes, as many of them feel
inclined. Hero Is n thance to tnculcnto tho
rudimentary principles of good table man
ners nnd to emphuslzo tho valiw of con
sideration for their fellow pupils.
After nil, thero Is n grent fascination In
tho old-fashioned lunch basket or lunch
pall. Kvery child likes to curry his own
lunch and likes to hnvo tho delight of
opening It nnd being surprised by somo par
ticular tidbit which mother has slipped In
for tho child's delectation.
In preparing n child's portnblo luncheon
pnrtlculur efforts should bo mado to havo
It dainty In appearance People think hun
gry children will eat anything-and so they
will, most of them but, 1b It not better to
nccustom them, to seeing food ncntly nnd
carefully served?
Sandwiches aro nlwaya suitnhlo for lunch
bnskots, because they can bo so easily enr
rlcd. To keep them from drying, wrap In
paraffined paper. Meat sandwiches nro not
ns wholesome, whero children havo meat
at dinner, ns thoso made of fruit, eggs or
fish. Delicious Bandwichen aro thoso mado
of wholo wheat bread, with cream cheese,
with tho addition of n few chopped nuts, a
llttlo orango mnrinaludo or n bit of Jam.
I.etluco sandwiches with n llttlo tnayonnnlso
aro crisp nnd refreshing. Nut nnd tig
j sandwiches nro nlways liked by children.
Krult Is easy to curry nnd pleaBes tho llttlo
! pupil. A baked custard in n llttlo cup 1b n
'nutritious luncheon dish. Cookies nnd sim
ple enkes may form pnrt of tho contents of
tho basket.
In putting up the lunch do not pack tho
articles too closely. I.lno tho basket with
parnfilncd pnper und wrnp each urtlclo sep
arately. Do not havo tho snndwiches so
lnrgo that they havo to bo crowded In nnd
nro mndo mussy in consequence. Place n
clean linen napkin or n new paper one Just
iusldo tho cover.
After ench time of using tho basket should
bo nlrcd nnd frequently scrubbed with
soapsuds nnd dried In tho sun; In this way
tho basket will keep fresh nnd sweet until
It is worn out.
With n llttlo thought on tho part of the
mother tho child's dally school luncheon
may bo mndo very attractive nnd suited to
tho needs of tho little growing frame
llPrliit.
Trifle Cut stnlo spongo enko into thin
