Its officials from the general manager
down you ask why, by all that's cleo
trical. your message must wait for 18
hours before it is sent.
"Wires down west of Omaha and
south of Columbus" laoonically replies
the operator. Or perhaps he locates the
difficulty in some other part of the Un-
ion. 1t depends on where you happen to
be. Then you realize for the first time
that storm which is raging hundreds
Of miles away and which may not reach
your locality at all is liable to cause you
some personal Inconvenience and per-
haps financial loss.
After you have partially forgiven the
telegraph company and resigned your
self to the inevitable you dismiss the
matter from your mind and nevor give
thought to what it means to the men
whose duty it is to get the wires up
again. For CONVEX .Snce we will say the
break is between New York and Phila-
delphia. There are so many wires con-
Meeting these two points that only the
most severe storm would disable them
all at the same time. But the temporary
loss Of one or two important wires would
be greatly felt because the normal vol
ume of business over them is large.
The operator sitting at his desk in the
big operating room in New York receiv-
ing messages from the west suddenly
discovers that something is wrong. The
message has been broken off in the mid
die. He calls up the other end, but gets
no response. Then he sends for the chief
operator.
whats up?" asks that official.
'No. AIS down." replies the oper-
ator.
The chief first goes to the big switch
board, where all the wires come in, and
makes test of No. AZ to see whether
it is crossed or grounded. Finding it is
all right in those respects, he goes back
to the operators desk and says:
Call up Elizabeth.
Tick, tick, clickety, cliokety, click,
click, goes the sender. and in a mo-
ment the sounder responds:
"Elizabeth's all right"
'Now try Bound Brook"
After more clicking the chief hears
| from Bound Brook.
"Call up Jenkintown.
Vainly the operator rattles the call,
but Jenkintown does not respond, so the
break must be between the two stations
"That'snearer the Philadelphia end, +"
comments the chief. "I'll see if can
get Philadelphia ON No. 49,"
Philadelphia is reached and notified
| of the break.

swer. "Sent linemen out ten minutes
ago"

But she doesn't get "all rigift" She

She has lost faith in him; hope van

Her doctor, If he knew, should have

her very symptoms described and an

she wrote 70 Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,

Wednesday from his European trip
in the best Of health and spirits. H'
and Mrs. Berkey have been away fo'
four months, and had a very enjoy
able time. From st. Paul they went
to Washington and New York In
February, then sailed for Mediter
ranean ports, and stopped some
time in Naples. Venice, Rome and
Milan. They have poor opinion oi
Southern Italy, but are more favor
ably impressed with the northern
part. The people there seem to he
very poor, and the government and
Fcities levy heavy taxes In many
peculiar ways. Even beggars pay a
licence, and in Naples they were
particularly troublesome and an.
noying. After leaving Italy they
visited Vienna, and then made a
trip down the beautiful valley of the
Rhine, which Mr.. B. declares to be Il
few degrees less picturesque than the
Hudson river scenery. But along
the Rhine were the old castles, and
every foot of the mountain sides
was brought under cultivation. ex-
cept the perpendicular walls con-
structed to hold up the vineyards.
From Germany they came to Eng
land, thence to New York ON the st.
Paul, and home by the Great Lakes.
Mr.. rBe-key says that with all the
attractions prepared for tourists. 1t
is impossible to obtain the accommo-
datlons and comforts In the places
he visited that the American traveller
is used to In this country. The rail-
roads and hotels are go very different
in their systems OF management that
they scarcely supply what the
American wants. They are doubt
less we'll adapted to the desires and
requirements Of their home patrons,
but are not up to- the American
standard. He and Mrs. Berkev both
returned with a f1rlner belief than
ever that the United States is the
hest country on, earth, and that the
people here have privileges and ad-
that are afforded nowhere
