STORIES IN PASSING.


once in a while Quick work ia th,t line
occurs and proves mighty good thing
in the long run. Such was the case
with friend Of mine. He had. been a
mortorman in Omaha for year or more
and then lost his place and was idle for
several months. Then through an ac-
quaintance he learned that there was
vacancy in the telephone Office at Fair
mont and went after that.
Are you married or unmarried?"
asked the director at the general office
OF the Nebraska Telephone Company in
Omaha.
Summarized" replied the young man.
"I'm sorry but you won't do" said the
director. you see Fairmont's to big
town for one man to attend to the work
by himself and isn't large enough to
hire two men. So we aim 10 get married
men for such places, along with his
wife, the operator can run the Office
very nicely"
The applicant felt rather crestfallen
at this unpleasant statement. He was
not only not married man but did not
have a ghost OF chance OF ever getting
married, that he coulo gee. He never had
had much to do with young women-in
fact there was just one young lady he
knew and that slightly. She was a
stenographer in the city somewhere,
plain, sensible girl who boarded where
ne did and withwhom he had had some
CO lversation.
'Say, will you give me a chance at
that place until noon? Ill be back by
that time, he finally said to the director.
"Yes. I'll keep it open until noon"
was the reply.
In two hours the young man returned,
radiant and happy, a young woman on
bis left arm. grip in his right hand.
Its all right, you can give me the
place. he explained to the director.
This is my wife; just married twenty
minutes ago. The tram leaves at one
o'clock and we are ready to start at
once"
The couple had charge Of the Fair.
mont Office three years. Then the
young man was sent up to the Hastings
Office and has now worked into the gen.
eral office at Omaha.
One family hid their christmas pres
ents in very effective way this year.
The father brought home a big stack of
empty pasteboard boxes and piled them
up in the main hall. The children
searched them all and repeated the
operation again in day or two. After
that the boxes stood unmolested. All
the presents we're put in the bottom
boxes and remained untouched until the
Christmas tree was prepared, while the
little folks ransacked every other part
OF the house in their eearch.
what did get for Caristmas?' said
a little seven-year- girl to lady
friend. "oh. got doll and bible.
Mamma gavo me the bibls. She wants
me to be missionary, She says that
any family that talks as much az We do
for mission, and gives as much as We do
to the missionaries, oagh to have one
among 'em anyway. There don't seem
to be any OF the rest OF the children that
want to 60, 80 guess I'll have to be it.
l always did want to see those funny
little Chineessrs eat with sticks. and
then it must be nice to ride on the big
ocean and have the whole church pray
in for YOU"

UNNECESSARY IS UNJUST,

A great Democratic platform in
the past declared that "pnnecessa-
ry taxation is unjust taxation" "
The senate committee has pro-
claimed its belief that the Dingley
bill was unnecessary. 1t did so in
the first place by tearing that bill
to pieces. 1t did so even more en-
phaticaIly by reporting some real
revenue taxes to meet the deficit
which is the sole reason for ary
session OF Congress at this time,
The duty on tea, and the increas-
ed tax on beer will yield, it is esti-
mated, $23, 100000. This is within
~, 100000 of the deficiency of last
year The enactment of stamp
tax on bonds and notes would yield
more to cover the deficiency of this
year. Or, better yet, a little econ
omy in appropriations would ac-
complsh the same result.
Therefore a general tariff ripping
and increased taxes on essentials
of the manufactors and the con-
of the people are unnec-
essary. And being unnecessary
they are unjust No party can en-
dure the obloquy of such tariff as
the campaign contributors are try
ing to force through Congress. N.
