the great corporations and the men that direct

every epithet in the vocabulary has been called

one day Kentucky chap came into my
place and asked me to go and look at
horse he had for sale.
"I went, and the sight did me good,
for it was beauty, and, as far as any
body could see or find ont, it was in
perfect condition. The man wanted
$3.50, and 1 offered him $500, and didn't
raise on my bid. knew where could
sell such Il horse for $3.50, and 5000 was
the best could do. We couldn't agree,
and 1 went back to my Office to let it
soak. That afternoon he rode the horse
past my place, and it really was a show
to look at. Later he called on me and
tried to persuade me TO come to his
figures, but l wouldn't do IT, and he
went away.
The next morning he came to my
place of business about an hour after
had got there, and offered to split the
difference, but I held him down to my
price or no sale. Then after hemming
and having awhile he agreed TO take
my price and send the horse around

usual style l wrote out check for 5000

horse for a couple of hours, and, as it
happened, 1 was called out and didn't
get back until one o'clock. The horse
hadn't got there yet, and 1 sent boy
after it. He came back in about half an
hour, with his eyes as big as saucers.
and told me that the horse had got his
foot over the halter some way during
the night and had hung himself.
THAT was all there was to that story.
The man had cashed the check as soon
as he could and had disappeared. L
might have made it personal matter

NO TALK ACROSS THE SEA.
Experts Have Given Up the Idea of .
TrnnaatIantIc Telephone.


transatlantic Telephone.
Financial and commercial interests
between this country and European
leading centers have received a final
setback in a most important direction,
that of using the telephone between
New York and the commercial centers
of Europe.
Almost from the moment the tele-
phone service came in general use bank
ers and brokers clapped their hands
with delight. They thought that they
saw at no distant period the establish
ment of a transa tlantic telephone sys-
tenn by which they could communicate
with their agents abroad, and so ami
hilate time and distance that transac-
tions on the exchanges or bourses would
be but the matter of few minutes.
would it be possible to use the At
lantic cables as telephone medium
without interfering with the regular
work of the cable?" was the momen-
tous question the scientists had to deal
with. The fact that telegraph com
panies daily work quadruplex system,
iby which eight telegraph operators
were on the one wire at once, four 1t
either end, nourfshed4 the belief that
after all, through some yet undiscov-
cred Land connections, business men
would be able to chat with each other
without in any way disturbing the del
icate signals Consistently passing 70 and
fro ON the cable.
The most expert electricians through
out the world took the matter, in hand.
but after years of unceasing study
have decided to abandon the project.
The cable companies threw no obstacle
in the way OF the scientistsi on tho
contrary, they encouraged them The
scheme, so far reaching and beneficial
to the business world, was kept -
quiet as possible, but now that there
does not seem the least possibility OF
carrying it out the secrecy has been
abandoned.
George q. Ward, vice president of the
Postal Telegraph company, was asked
yesterday il there was any pos1bil
ity of using cables for telegraphic and
telephone purposes at one and the
same time. He promptly answereds
''I am afraid not. In fact, know that
such a thing is impossible. The whole
thing, after long study, has been aban-
| doned. 4 noted European electrical
expert, who haE given the matter his
| attention for years, says it can't be
done, and he adds that if you were ia
construct a telephone by which you
could talk to people in London, Paris,
Berlin or st. Petersburg. you would
have to use a transmitter as big as .
barrel There is still another insur-
monntable barrier in the way of txana-
atlantic telephone service. Take. for
instance, your long-distance telephone
service as it stands to-day. Look what
| it costs. Now, then, what wo0ld II
| cost, even based on the same lines, to
telephone to any of the great CONNER
cial cities of Europe. just think o1
being asked to pay $50 or $50 a minute
Where is the business man who could
| AFFORD such an expenditure? Then.
again, look at the millions OF people
who never use the telephone IT all,
1t costs money 30 manufacture and lay
| cables and to use one for telephone
services alone would never pay.-N. Y
