Mrs. Baldwin does not exactly bcllevo In

the Inability of her husband to find work

Invited a reportor for The Bee Inside h&r
house at t& North Sixteenth street, with
tho remark Uiat It had been a terrible hot

Ther wan a elleht, embarasslng pause.
The reporter brought with him money
that had been sent to The Be office by
reader, It was ct a a rellaf to thn
trlcken family. And some families are
aonIllvr about accepting charity. The
survivor of mrtny s'mlinr mission was at

brought up so as not tv offend Mrs.
Baldwin.

"Not today I have been so busy."

"Monty?" Mrs. Baldwin Interrupted.
Yes, ma'am-money: and they trust,"
the reporter continued, not k'ndwing what
the pext word would be, "and Jhoy triist
you will accept this offer and their sympathy-"

"But I can't take their money," she said
firmly. There It was. "You must send it
back to them." ,
"But Mrs. Balwln, we don't know who
tent the money they did not slim their
letters," the reporter lied brazenly, re.
tnemborlng that she had not read The Bee
yesterday.
"Ah," Mrs. Baldwin replied, and lapsed
Into sllcnca. The reporter fished out the
money and handed It to the woman. There
was a lone silence, finally broken by
Mrs1. Baldwin.
Sontr People Are Good.
"There are some good people tn the
world after all aren't there?" The tone
of her voice caused the reporter to find
a carpet tack" to be a particularly Inter
esting object. That tack was so bright,
so new. Atfer a while she coughed and,
following the glance of her visitor, ex
plained why the chairs were all In one
corner, papers Uttered the floor and a
cener&l ntmoepher aa of "movlnjr day."

"Isn't It strange," she continued with a
whimsical smile, "Un't It strange how
easy nomo people make money? and how
hard It Is for others to get along? It all
depends Qn how much money people are
utcd' to, when they say 'getting along.'

on the pitiful little heap of Rllver tn her

to herself: -
"I can make this go a long, long way!"
fiomowhrre from beneath a heap of
rnp.irs, clothes and chairs came the faint
tick of an alarm clock. Mrs. Baldwin
continued:
"Somo" neopte have a terrible easy tm

complaining, for I am! but what good
does It do? Nobody Is satisfied at heart.
It Booms funny that those who try so
hard, so hard, can't- havo anything that
makes life better.' Wly do you suppose
there Is such a difference between the
air I breatho nnd that n rich person

havo to bo poor and some rich, and what
Is the reason?"
"Tho answer Is beyond me," tho re

is who tolls through the day for his i
bread with honest sweat on his brow and
a suns; on his lips. But there is one re
porter willlnt: to lay a two-to-one bet,
with the blue vault of heaven as the
limit, that the majority of those rifted
wrltors never "harvested" much to
speak of. If they did, they waited until
after the wheat was all put away and
wlntor had settled down before moral

tice philosophers as a rule were content
to watch those activities from h!U-top
or else underneath a boUKh, with a Jug
of wine, a loaf of bread and Thou." and
so on.
So that lets the reporter out. He Is no
pr.lloroph-. It Is always gratifying to
tlnd out what we are not good at, so
we may culn time by leaving It oone.
He was called tied for one reason and
another by his fellow-harvesters, which
is calculated to remove vanity far from
one. And during the long, heartless
ages of the first few days, harvesting Is
calculated to cause the uninitiated to
holld lift cheaply O, so cheaply.
What "lied" Iteally Kuoiti.
Why, MUter, or Miss, when a. couple
of Atlasses and Gollah arrange them
selves on either side of an unnecessarllly
lrng high and wide wagon, each uccoro
patd with a. smirk kna a pitch fork
and when those giants casually upset the
entire Nebraska wheat crop on top of a
young and ambitious person, what chonco
hath he, no matter how young; and am
bitious ho may or may not be, it he has
never been formally Introduced to

answer came back, 'Twlxt a sob and a

land of the tree and the home of the

Never dooa a man feel more insignifi
cant and less useful In this world of
hurry and bustle as when bravely at
tempting to remember which way "up"

ceas their role as grave-diggers and he
may. If allv, mount to the top of the

When that battle was over the survivor

seemed his wagon-load had attracted con
siderable attention. Tall, bronted har
vesters gravely contemplated tho mis
shapen mass and chewed reflectively on
wheat straw. The panting author of the
lop-sided affair found he had left hl
pitch-fork, somewhere In the bot'.om or
middle of the load, and bethought him
self to search for it. He was restrained
after sixteen b'undles had slipped to ths

ambitious with a hearty appetite and a
greedy way about It of eatlntr wheat
The engine, .however, was a staid old
party, who preferred coal; and whoso one
hopo by day and prayer by night was
to be able to cast heavy, black, choking
smoke on amateur wheat-pitchers as
they tolled at the machine, a short dis
tance removed. What chance has the
young voloes calling: "More, morel"
and youth conspires against him? Age
with Its volumes of smoke, and Youth
with Its hearty appulite and tireless
young voices calling; "More, morel"
Hopes that something would break were
useless. Wishes that somehtlng would
cause a delay of an hour or co were
vanity. Ono might put wishes to better
uses. One might wish he had never
known wheat except in bread.
While unloading that first Mount Ever
ett of wheat one has the most delight
ful visions of shady nooks, of contem
plating tho moon with "Her," of de
licious, refreshing plunges In deep pools;
of Ice cream, chewing gum and thos
who aro addicted, havo amaxlngly clear
visions of something amber and cold
with foam on the top. Yea. thone unl
many, many other mirages rlso before
tho tortured person attempting to remove
mountains without faith.
Whnt I'rldc Snyeth, Also.
Then enters the vltllan of the piece,
who may be called Pride. Says Pride:
You overgrown slob, I've got you now
where I want you! Does that make you
feel betterT Yes, sir, right where I want
you. Thinking about quitting! Why,
I had a ten-year-old son, who couldn't
pitch those bundles any better than you.
I'l klolc him from here to Missouri In
one kick. A groat big sUff like you-
shut dpi I know It's hard. You tsked
for work when you came here, didn't
youT Aren't you getting what you or
dered? well, then, Just hush. You have-
no kick coming. What if you'd quit
now? What would all those folks to
whom you bragged back In Omaha say?
No, air, you're going to stay here, and
you're going to stick until you can pitch
as good as any of the rest, or some
thing will break. 1 dare you to quit,
you big stiff I double-dog dare you to
quit!"
"That belnp the case, we'll play around
some more," answers, mo; "but listen
here; you keep right still. I've got ail
I can do to dodge bundles, this machine
and wheat-beards, without your conver
sation." What n Artist May lo.
So the cruel war continued. Onco In
a whllo a Samson, with muscles the size
of a water-bucket would show Red how
to pitch the bundles into the machine
It looked BO easy! One might bo ashamed
to face tho boss on pay-day If one couid
unload a wagon with such unpersplrtmr j
ease. Ho would carelessly chew a straw,
lazllv insert a fork into tho mass, and by
some magic power keep a constant stream
of bundles describing an arc from th
wagon Into tho Jaws, as It were, of the
threshing machine. And all with such
marvelous easel It was uncanny.
And after ages tnd eons came the
sweetest words Red had heard in count
less centuries:
"Dinner Is ready now, boys."
"TUere nt the Eats."
Red may not havo proven himself a
master of wheat-pitching that morning,
but at dinner time he was gratified to
notice his appetite had not lost Its cun
n.ng. Thero Is always something to live
for, even on your first day In the har
vest field, and you forgive mankind for
Inventing work during each of those
luxurious twenty-five minutes of eating.
A deep sense of pc&cefulness fall upon
you as the potatoes are passed; for
giveness comes with the bread and gravy,
holy Joy of living arrives with the chicken
and noodles, and when the cake and pie
and lemonade and Ice tea and Ice cream
and and-O Joy; O rapture! Life is worth
while after alt Pass some more of that
chocolate pie, if you please. O, what
pleasant little world this Is. How noble
nnd generous those giants aro who cov
ered you up complotely so many genera
t'ons ago.
The becond half was played, and Red,
tired, stiff, hungry, uncomfortable and
unmentlonably glad the day hod fled,
unhitched, fed his team, washed and
staggered info tho dining room. Once
more llfo was pleasant, even If tho knife
and fork did most painfully rub against
those Inflamed blisters. Then came the
chores. It seomed to Red that the way
a farm Is run Is that a man works
until he can drag himself no further and
Jtint drops right In his tracks. But by
and by they said it was bedtime, and
Red gave one thankful glance at tho bed
Just one lingering, thankful glance.
Then out went the light and Red bur
rowed deep into that feather bed with
one of the most if not the most luxurious
sighs ever uttered In this or any other
country.
Getting; Onto the Game.
After the third day life became bear
able. Bundles are not so all-fired diffi
cult to handle when you get the "knack."
And loading a wagon becomes possible
except when the wind blew In the wrong
way and the pitchers were In a hurry
to wash up for dinner or supper as the
case may be. On those occasions things
wero very unsatisfactory. Everybody Is
in a hurry about meal time. The Idea Is
to get to the first tablo or bust To the
victor belong the spoils of a longer rest
at noon. To the vanquished It means he
must help clean up around the machine
and wait In hungry expectancy for the
.ucky to finish. Then the lucky emerge
with a gloating expression and a tooth
pick waving Jauntily tn one corner of
the Hps, while he seeks the shade to dis
cuss religion, politics and woman.
And by and by the days shortened, the
work inspired less hopes of a land that
Is fairer than this, and It became real
sport to see If Red could unload his
wagon before the opposition, on the other
side of the machine had cleared his
wagon. And the "boys" began to "kid"
tho amateur harvester, which Is a sign,
perhaps, that he could pitch a few bum
d.es If thero was no way out of It With
cheerfulness came almost regret that
tho wheat could not mst more than a
week longer. Then Is tho time for thu
philosopher to step In nnd whoop around
about tho Joy of toll; but not at the
start when tho world and all that's In it
Is against you. Then came the day when
the last of the wheat was threshed, the
last woop given, the supper eaten and
the amateur harvester and the boss' son
drove to the depot From behind a hedge
came a loud voice one of the former
demons shouting cheerfully:
'Come back next year, Red." (Accom.
panted by profanity,)
"You bet I will," yelled Red, sincerely,
with more profanity.
Don't Starve To Get

Those who havo been starving them
selves or taking hours of violent ex

of the latest scientific method of taking
off ilesh. Their relolcinir will be keen.
I not alono because of the effectiveness

On the other hand, the treatment
Is quite an agreeable one simply the
eating of a tasty candy drop, known as
the "Dorsnlum Jujube."
he Jujube Is used as a vehicle to con

The Idea originated In Germany and bid
