What Happened to Max Whom All the
World Was Misunderstanding In the
Navy-The Snow Mans Flight.

"Looll, Maxi" cried Rob at tho win
dow. Max looked and clapped his
hands, for tho snow had come; tho
world was all white. After breakfast
Rob said, Como out, and we will mako
snow man.
Max was years old. He was glad to
go with Rob. lilo soon put on his coat
and thick boots, and they went into tho
garden. They worked for long time
ut the snow man. Then Rob said:
SEQ if you can find me some stones. -
Max ran off down tho clean swept
walks. but could find no loose stones.
But he knew that at tho end of the gar.
den there was bank and far below the
bank there was u path where there were
many stones. Away he went, but soon
stopped, for the bank and the path were
both gone. In their place was smooth
white sheet of snow. He ran on, feel
ing puzzled, when his feet sank in the
snow, and ho fell, the snow closing
over his head.
Rob went OH with his work, but Max
did not como back. "What u long time
he ISL thought Rob. Soon he went to
look for him, but ho could not see him.
Then hc went up to tho house, but no
one had seen Max. He could not tell
what to do.
AS he stood on tho doorstep Clip, his
little black and white dog, came up to
him with loud quick bark. He know
where Max was and was trying to say
so. Rob went after him. Ho did not
know why. Clip ran down the garden
till he came to tho bank, and there Rob
saw hole i'll the snow. He knew what
had happened. He ran to call help, and
soon his father and the gardener came
with spades. They dug down into the
snow and found Max fast asleep. The
snow had covered him up and kept him
warm.
Rob" said Max, 81 tumblcd into
the snow
yes" said Rob- eve have dug
you up and arc going to take you home. -
"How did you find me:" said Max.
Clip found you and told us where
you We're" said Rob.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL.
Various Causes Why Central" Is

The life and work of the telephone girl
are little known to the average reader.
and yet it is life or Interest. some
times almost one of excitement, and one
which has much to do with the extens-
i've business of a busy city.
The telephone girl is one of the most
important Dersonages in daily business
life. for without her this modern inyen-
ton. this time-saving device could never
be what it is today. Few people appre-
ciate this fact. and it is seldom, perhaps,
that the average subscriber gives her a
thought unless he has some trouble in
getting connection, and proceeds to
give vent to his temper so that SHE may
get the benefit of il.
The question has often been asked why
women are always empioyed as tele-
phone operators to the exclusion of men,
and 1t Is well-known fact that 1t is uni
versally done. 1t is because the women
are more patient. They have not the
element to fight in them which charac-
terizes many men. and when they hear a
gruff voice say ''Gimme 5T1. and be in a
hurry about it," they 90 not assume
pugilistic attitude and talk back but re-
spond promptly to the call, or If 1t is not
caught say Number. please?" with the
most interesting rising infection that is
calculated TO tone down the toughest of
tempers.
Every man is a crank when he gets on
a phone. The personal equation stands
for naught. He is looking into the blank
wooden countenance of the receiver, and
1t doesn't inspire him with respectful po-
likeness. He is in hurry: If he were not

Then he talks back: "Hi, there. o.n-

sake. walks up. To which jeremiad
the patient operator calls back sweetly.
