SUPT. LARABEE, of the Electric Light
and Telephone companies, does not pro-
pose to be outdone in his department.
Aside from fitting up his office, in the
Putnam House block, in the finest style,
he has erected therein booth for the
transmission of telephone messages that
ensures the strictess privacy. 1t is an
attractive addition as well as a satsfac-
tory arrangement. We have tried it and
know whereof we speak. The long dis
lance telephone service is growing, and
our people hardly know how much it's
use will facilitate business until they
avail themselves of it.

LAST evening the "harvest" moon,
rapidly nearing the full, was particularly
radiant, and many who could improved
the opportunity to be out of doors.
Rainy evenings have been so frequent of
late that Luna has developed her Sep
TENDER phase in the privacy offered by
heavy cloud banks and astonished the
world with her radiance when yesterday
evening came. There was an unusual
