Hardships of Telegraph Poles.

eyes" said Joseph Bonner, superin-
tendent of telegraph for the Southern
Pacific railroad, telegraph poles along
the line have a hard time. Particularly
is this so out west, where the poles are
costly and stations are few and far be-
tween. Now, out in the Arizona desert
the poles are played the deuce with gen
orally. There is a sort Of woodpecker
that picks the posts absolutely to pieces,
thinking there may be insects inside of
the wood. They hear the humming and
haven't sense enough to know what
causes it. Then near the hills the black
bears imagine that each pole contains a
swarm of bees and they climb to the top
and chew the glass insulators to pieces !;
but the sandstorms are the things that
create the most havoc. When the winds
blow strongly, the sand is drifted at q
rapid rate and the grains cut away the
wood at fearful rate. 1t was a common
thing to have an oak pole worn to a
shaving in days time, while have
seen poles just ground to the surface of
tho earth during q single storm. Things
got so bad out there that tho company
decided to substitute steel poles for the
oak and cedar, bat tsat didn't remedy
the evil at all. The pRnS iurt were away
the metal on each RGs Of she pole until
the center was IA sharp RS razor, and
all the Indians used to shave themselves
on the edge. We finally managed to fix
things-just painted the poles with soft
pitch. The pitch caught the sand, and
now every pole it about two feet thick

IL Means saying Ola Things In a New
and Charming Way.
Takers are not those who have news
to tell. Their mission is, as Pope de-
scribetl the poets, to pat into words
what oft was Thought before, but not SO
we'll expressed. The mind is unequal to
the strain Of taking information as such
all the time. We read just as we dress
in new garmcnts---nCt because we are
naked, but because we want to vary our
garments We read poetry for inspira-
ton, science tor the laws of life and
nature, newspapers for general informa-
and the basis of knowledge. Any one
we'll read in these must be an entertain
ing companion, if the faculty of impart-
ing tho sum of them be given. In other
words, if he or she be good talker.
Lord Macaulay, ono of the best in
formed men OF his time, was so irresist-
ible a talker that whole companies sat
for hours to listen. His love Of talking
was so inordinate that cessation of his
wondrous outflow was loosely alluded
to as brilliant flash of silence "
They had, it is true, more time to talk
in other days than we can set aside now,
and there were other occult influences
not less conducive to engaging garrulity.
In those times the streets were filled
with picturesque shapes and colors-the
namolcss grace of costumes and equi-
pages now seen only on the stage. No
wonder that surrounded by birds of
such brilliant plumaSe. courts and kings,
robes and plumcs, clashing swords and
rustling silks, our fathers and mothers
talked well. But III revenge we have Il
vaster field to draw on for sprightly con.
versation. The schoolboy of today has Il

learning life's needs than the best edu-
Gated Of the ancients But he should be

DOANE SQUELCHED.


AS was mentioned In these COL
umns week before last, Ex-G Governor
Samuel ]. Crawford and Mr.. A. W.
Abrams went to Washington, d. c.,
to have Agent Doane's order to the
white lessees to move off of the
Quapaw reservation rescinded.
In this they have been succ cssful
and all parties interested have
reason to feel thankful. Following
is letter from Ex-Governor Craw-
ford to friend in this city:
Washington, d. c., Nov. %, '96.
We have secured stay of execu-
ton in the Quapaw matter, which
will protect the lessees, tenants and
employees until that lease question
is permanently disposed of. The
questions involved in the case had
never been properly presented to
the department, and as a conse-
quence the secretary and commits
sioner both got off wrong in their
Interpretation of the law, and as a
further consequence their instruc.
tions to Agent Doane were misun-
derstood, and hence his foolish
order and the trouble and annoy
ance that followed.
The department officials are wont
to do right in the matter. and now
that the case is fairly before them 1
have not the slightest doubt as to
the result. The orders which went
to the agent on Monday by tcle-
graph and today by letter virtually
settle the question in so far as the
white people on the Quapaw reser-
walton are concerned. They will
not be troubled further by Agent
Doane's eviction order nor by the
Indian police.
We unraveled the treaties and al
lotnient and lease laws and pre-
sentcd them TO the department to-
day in such way as to make their
language, intent and purpose per-
fectly plain.
