Hezekiah Bean and his wife, Miranda, are greatly vexed with the servant problem. Each servant wishes the best room in the house, three nights a week off, and breaks so many dishes that the kitchen of Hezekiah sounds like a shooting gallery and resembles a battlefield. They employ a midget, but she is in a class with the rest. Miranda engages a beautiful young lady who suits Hezekiah's eye very much. The same young lady, however, takes an electrical treatment, which completely magnetizes her so that all needles, hardware, etc., are attracted by her presence and cling to her like a loving parent. The servant girl with the magnetic personality is unfortunately sent to the hardware store and comes very nearly putting that emporium of tins and steel ware out of business. The entire stock laying on the shelves jump from their place as one piece to greet her, and she retires from the shop looking like a cross between a hardware exhibit and a well-furnished kitchen. When she returns Hezekiah gently tells her that she will have to find some other field in which to exercise her drawing powers.
