presented to the treasury department
yesterday for redemption two $1,000

Of very large issue of counterfeit
notes which appeared in the principal
bond markets about 1865 and 1867 The

that many of the principal dealers in

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. Is. Reports
from the apple district of southwest
Missouri indicate that this will be a
most prosperous year for the apple
growers. Buyers from New York and
Michigan are already on the ground
contracting for apples in car load lots.
There is shortage in the Michigan
crop, and New York has not enough
apples for its own use. Local commits
sion men say that the crop will start
to move at ~ per barrel, and they ex-
pect prices to advance rapidly to 81. %
and $3.50 and perhaps higher. The
Missouri yield will be enormous and
thousands of barrels will be shipped

YoRKvILLE, S. G., Aug. l3.-The sena-

The long ng-dlstance telephone between
distant points differs from the dime-ip-
the-slot phone of the corner drug store
in that you don't pay I'LL you get the
person wanted at the other end. Then,
YOU hear better after you do get him.
And you always get him. 1t doesn't
matter whether he has Il telephone or
not, II the man Is In New York, three
blocks or three miles from the tcle-
phone. the company fastcns him TO u
New York receiver before IL begins to
| figure costs against the customer ut the
rate of S1.To per minute.
"BusIness men are the principal Gus
toners. though some courting Is done
by telephone" said Mr. Brooks.
"a few years ago young man IN
Chicago was counting an Indianapolis
young woman, and two or three even
ings week he would call her up at 81
for Ave minutes talk. They courted
for long time. and when they Were
married the telephone company gave
them present of Il beautiful little tel
ephone stand In silver.
"But TO business men the service Is
most valuable. Many man who once
went a thousand miles to transact n
bit OF personal business which could be
done In ten minutes now uses the tele-
phone. Two receivers arc riggcd to
each phone. and II witnesses are need,
ed the other receiver makes Impossible.
In law the telephone stands, too.
n
featuring house made bid by tele-
phone on an Ohio contract and got II.
whereas, save for the telephone, II
would have been lost to the company.
In such deals rs this 50 for five-min-
ute talk In New York Is not so bad.
"The great advantage of the long
distance telephone is that, no matter
at what distance the tones OF the voice
are preserved and recognizable. So
often kilograms and even letter cores
pondence cannot get over troublesome
points of difference between business
men. A personal interview must be
had. This. in most Instances, the tele-
phone accomplishes."
A great deal of telephone talk Is done
by appointment. and after o o'clock In
the evening n half-rate is available. a
man may ask the central office to make
an appointment in the day for convcr-
sation at night. yet he will be charged
for the talk at night rates only.
As far as practical measurements OF
time 20, the voice of man In Memphis
talking to a man In Boston, LOO miles
away. Is heard ut the Instant the words
are spoken. This is the longest stretch
in the system. rs 1t now is. and yet
every accent. tone and infection is car
ried with truth which makes the per
sons voice recognizable by any friend.
In general, alto voices carry best over
telephone. but this Is only compara-
tive, ns even whisper In New York
may be heard in Chicago.-Chicago

UNFORTUNATELY. just before I went my
retriever raced out into the street and
got mixed up with u drny. When

not grown over now.
But l had to go without him, and
you don't know how missed him. He
broke his heart almost when carried
out my gun case, and could hear him
yelping after me for two blocks.
Il was worried over leaving him, and
anxious about him, too, and one night
away up In Wisconsin, 200 miles from
Chicago, l whistled and called to the
dog. just as l have done n thousand
times. May be you won't believe me,

barking as naturally us l ever heard

Twenty-nine seconds OF silence fol-

'Don't you believe it!' insisted the
Chicago man.
Two OF his listeners sighed for an

Then the Chicago man sneeringly
wrinkled his nose and admitted that all
of this was by means of long-dis-

Stevens Point and called up his wife
mt home; that she had suggested put
ting the receiver TO the dogs ear. and
that at his first word the dog recognized
his voice, capering about and yelpinS
till he walked the baby.
Manager Brooks of the central office
of the American Telephone and Tele-

this story as truth. His company
charged the man 50 for the privilege
