She frowned little while Collecting her
thoughts, and then wrote:
Dearest Charlie-You do not knof how
much | miss you while away from home,

and cradles, and table Chairs for little Mary.
l was tempted to buy all three of them but
only took the carriage. Be sure to scald
bottle every meal, and that the milk is
fresh and sweet before it is warmed for
baby; bless her little heart, she is her
mammals darling dear, so she is and when
she cries it may be pin sticking her, and
not the colo at all, remember. Give her
drop of camphor on a nice big lump of sugar
if that cough returns, and two drops of pep
permint or paregoric In sugar and water in
a teaspoon if she has cramp in her poor
little stomach. The key to the cake box is
under the corner of the mat IN the front hall,
and if the icing sticks to the knife but ter it,
and don't give baby any; besides, be sure to
crumble the crackers well in her cruel.
Auntie wants me to stay all week, but l
don't feel satisfied away FROM you and baby
SO long, dearest, and will come home
Wednesday. 1t seems like year since l
saw you, love, though it was only yester-
day evening, SO now you see how much

roast from Sunday, or else cut it down real
thin with Chill sauce to eat over it, and to
see that the bread does not get musty in the

ANTIQUITY OF THE TELEPHONE.

The Instrument Was Used 1000 Years Ago
BY Hindoo Priests.
English travellers and officers in India
who have managed, through favoritism
with the priests, to gain access to some
of the half-ruined temples of PAM, a
city about 200 miles from Madras, have
learned that the principles of the telephone
have been known in that country for thou
sands OF years, says the st. Louis Republic
In the city of PAM there are two temples,

Then, upon Immediately repairing TO the

enough, but to the superstitious natives of
India it is proof that the priests are super
natural beings.
Those who have visited these telephone
connected temples say that the transmitters
are of wood, and that they are about the size
of the head of -four barrel. The wire is
said TO be of neither steel, copper nor brass,
but of substance closely resembling the
latter metal. Old worm-eaten transmitters,
said to be 1000 years old, have been shown
thoss fortunate enough to gain admission
TO these temples.

Mary Anderson says that Sarah
Siddons was one Of the greatest
actresses who ever lived. How does
she know? We can tell that Homer
was a great poet. because we can
: read his sublime epics. We know
that Micheal Angelo was a mas
ter painter, because his work still
exists TO attest that fact. We can
testify that Edman Burl1 was a
great orator, for every school boy
has read his brilliant impeachment
of Warren Hastings. But we
know OF the merits % the actors
and actresses OF the past only from
tradition. The mummers of
century ago would probably not
be accepted to-day. They were
false to nature and untrue to art.
From what we can learn OF them,
they were suited ranting, affected
and mouthing. They ignored
Shakespeare advice and tore pas
sions to tatters. David Garrick
and Edman kean to-day would not
pass muster by the side OF our own
Incompatible Edwin Booth Bee.

MORNING APPEAL
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER +
AN IMPARTIAL GOVERNOR.

The interview in yesterdays ap-
PEAL with Governor Colcord in re-
gard to Pine Nut has established
him in the eyes of thousand
readers as an exceedingly fair
minded man. He has studied the
possibility Of over anxious people
going off the track Of investiga-
ton in their excitement.
His remarks were all carefully
weighed, and showed that he in
tended all for the best interests of
the people.
His conservative manner ia ex-
planning the case to the people of
this State will do more for the
mines in the future than thous-
and widely miscalculated rantings
during temporary excitement.
While the san Francisco press
quoted him broadcast through
out the country, an impression
prevailed that the Governor had
been in Pine Nut recently.
Many people knew that he had
not been there and hence wonder
ed at his explanation OF the case.
Had the reporter used the first
words Of Mr.. Colcord when he
stated that he knew nothing about
the present discovery, then an en-
tirely different face would havs
been put on the opinion.
Since the appearance of his in
terview in the APPEAL he is thor
oughly understood, and any intel
ligent man recognizes the advant-
ages of his care in the matter and
appreciate the desire on his
part to give the world G little
good advice.
Pine Nut, by this time, is known
throughout the United States, and
developments will be watched with
interest by many thousands of
people.
Should the reports be verified
when some depth is reached, then
the time for true excitement will
commence and be lasting.

handiwork was faultless and invaluable, the
proceeds of which she used not for her own
needs, merely, but also for the convenience
or pleasure of the young sisters, gifts to the
mother, adOrnments of the home. As the
population of the village increased, the
number OF the sick and needy called
more and more for the sympathies and
services of others, and here a field
opened for the exercise of Mrs. Kings
talents, in which to her latest days
come worker. Physicians felt a sense of
relief when they could leave their patients,
even for a night, in her watch and care, and
many and many patient has found there
could be luxury in pain, when soOthed by
the gentle touch of her hand. A few years
of happily welded life removed her from
this to another state, but on the death of
her husband she returned to share with
her sisters the loving care Of her aged par
ents. With more plentiful means she re-
sumed too, and with redOubled energy and
generosity, her interest in the poor and
needy. She found no home too squalid for
her efforts to improve, no distress too re-
voting for her to relieve. She saw that
" the worst but need the most" and to her
as to her Master, call were dear" No
record here shows her expenditures, but in
that above what an amount stands to her
credit as " lent unto the Lord''l At about
the age of eighteen she united with the
Congregational church, living a life of
unquestioned consistency with its rules,
and Jealous to an extreme for the
promulgation of those phases of Chris
tianity she deemed the Essential TRUTH
In later years she sought for higher
attainments in holiness, apparently never
seeing, the dear soul, that the holiness OF
helpfulness was the highest test Jesus used
in describing the separation of the good and
bad-a holiness-while stoutly almost in
dignantly disclaiming all merit in her good
works-she had so well exempifed her life
through. However rigid in self exaction,
however firm in her maintenance of the
truth as she saw it, her love was greater
than her faith, her heart was right ;"
toward all humanity. A friend says, I" she
had not an enemy in the world" More
all the world had no tenderer friend, no
more earnest follower of the greatest exam
pie of unseltishness and self sacrifice. To
whom, if not to her, will be said " Well done,
good and faithful servant, enter into the
joy of thy Lordl' NJ. w. f.
