LOVE AND LONG DISTANCE.

She lived in Chicago and he lived in
Hoboken.

The distance from Hoboken to Chicago
is, let us say, 1000 miles.

100 miles for five minutes That makes
q five minutes talk with Chicago $40.
Oh, Lowell Oh, rapture!
As she walked trippingly along Wa
bash avenue in Chicago. thinking Of
Harold and Hoboken, her futtering
heart was startled by her eyes falling
on one of those familiar long distance
telephone signs consisting principally
Of blue bell.
Ordinarily bluebell reminds one of
Scotland, but in this case it reminded
her of Hoboken.
''Oh, Harold!'. she twittered all to
her dear little self. ''Oh, Harold!'
Then, without further explanation ex-
cept to soliloquize just once as follows,

hear from me in this unexpected man.

into the telephone box and rang up Ho-
bolzen.
Harold came up with it, and for ten
minutes her heart went whirling along
the wires to Harold's heart, and Ho-
boken and Chicago were one.
Then she rang off and went to her
home SO happy, SO happy, that even the
Chicago atmosphere was full Of sun
shine to her.
Ten minutes Of bliss with Harold
Why had they never thought of this
before?
Now, every day they would commune
together, and life would be joy unutter-
able.
They would talk for hours instead of
minutes.
Oh, blissl
And Harold?
All, Harold was in the ecstasies Of an
elysiac that comes only to happy lovers.
That is to say, he was until a man
came with bill.
Just what it said in detail Harold
did not know. All that he knew was
that he had been conversed with for ten
minutes at the rate Of So minute.
In an instant the whole world seemed
changed to him.
He looked at the man with the bill in
dull despair He remembered the con-
versation.
The man seemed to understand. and,
promising to call the next day, he went
out softly.
The next cay Harold had disappeared
forever.
The next day the man with the bill
called.

make this extract: 81 have no hesitation III

the results were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While I was pastor Of the Baptist
church at Rives Junction she was brought
down with pneumonia succeeding la grippe.

kLEpTomaNlAcs ARE LISTED.

Big Stores Collect the Names of Those
Who Should Be Watched.
It will doubtless be astonishing to
those who have not studied the question
to learn that kleptomania has grown so
much during the last few years that
dry goods merchants have, so to speak,
formed cooperative union of self pro-
lection against the evil. Shoplifters are
easily dealt with and disposed of, as
they are generally OF the class who can
be punished to the full extent of the
law, but the kleptomaniac is usually
woman Of refinement, good family and
possessed of ample means, which per-
nit of the qualification Of her most ex-
travagant needs.
Strange as the assertion may seem, it
Is so true and has assumed such proper
tons that in tho majority of the stores
there is a book kept in the private office
of the firm in which are written the
names Of the women who are known to
be thus afflicted, and when they are
caught in the act bill for the goods
stolen is sent to the husband, father or
the person who has made himself re-
sponsible for the things taken. 1t was
found necessary to do this after two or
three arrests had been made and the
culprit found, upon investigation, to be-
long to some well known family. It w0
not only necessary fer the protection Of
the merchants against loss by the theft,
but it was also more imperative from
the fact that these exposures endangered
his business. After such an arrest and
the consequent publicity the family Of
the accused were very loath to trade at
that particular store, and the with
drawal Of such patronage meant loss Of
thousands Of dollars to the proprietor.
This explanation was given me by the
superintendent Ct one Of the largest de-
partment stores, where, after thorough
canvassing Of the principal retail stores
in the city, found that it was no mere
gossip as to the existence OF this hook,
