one does not see on the part OF the
American stan officer, no matter what
the rank OF his superior may be. Be

WITH THE MOUNTAIN FOLK.
Class of People Who InhabIt tho Appa
lachian Mountains.

Among the social virtues or the
mountaineer hospitality has a high
place, says William Goodell Frost In
the March Atlantic. This virtue is to
be found in solitary places the world
over. Its two blending motives are
compassion for Il stranger and curl
0sity to learn whatever news he may
bring, and both motives are credible.
While we cannot here trace all the So
cial codes of mountain life, 1t is i'm
portant to note that there are social
codes and moral standards which are
most strictly observed. Herein the
mountain white" shows his genus 1t
is his social standards and his inde-
pendent spirit that prove his worth or
at least his promise. He is not II de
graded being, although. to tell the
truth he has not yet been graded up.
The poor whites" were degraded by
actual competition with slave labor.
The mountain whites" had little con
tact with slavery, and retained that in
dependent spirit which everywhere be
longs to the owners of land. Mr.. John
Fox, .Ir., is responsible for the sta a.
ment that when n man was sent with
n sum of money to relieve distress In n
hlSllHl III lht
tains of Kentucky he could find none
who would confess their need. and
rode for days without being able to
execute his commission. The noun
taineer Is not suppliant for old
clothes. Even when bestowed they
are likely to prove too short in the
sleeves. And this reminds us that
when John Fox gave II reading from
his Cumberland tales in Bcrea the
mountain boys Were ready to mob him.
They had no comprehension of the
nature of fiction. Mr.. FoX's stories
We're either true or false. If they We're
true, then he was no gentleman" for
telling all the family affairs of people
who had entertained him with their
best In the mountains. If they were
not true, then. of course, they We're
libelous upon the mountain people.
Such an attitude may remind MS of the
general condemnation of fiction by the
unco' guide II generation ago.

ANOTHER NOVELTY,
TELEPHONE FOR FARMERS.
Lines Connecting Farms Can Be Strung
lsy Anyone,

Lines Connecting Farms Can he Strung
By Anyone.
There will soon be few districts in
which the isolation which has so fire.
quently been n drawback to the life of
farmer need longer exist. Even
where better roads have not brought
the farms nearer to the poulated cen
ters. the running of telephone lines has
been much simpliiied. In many states
the entire farming class can now com
municate with each other without be-
ing influenced by the condition of the
roads or press of work. In one section
OF New York state ten farmers got to-
gether and constructed a line for inter-
communication. They furnished the
tools and did the work themselves, the
expense for wire. Instruments and
other npcessaics. which was equally
divided among them, being only about
Sl4 share, Lines even cheaper than
this are now being installed by using
the ordinary bnrbed wire already on
the farm fences. A good sample of
this system. which Is run by Califor-
MIA land company. Is about ten miles
long. Telephone instruments of the
hest quality are used. and care is taken
that no wire shall have n ground CON
nection. In crossing roads and gates.
where possible, high posts carry the
wire clear overhead. hut in other cases
three-eighth inch water pipes are laid
under the gates or roads and well in
sulated wire is run through them to
connect the bnrbed wire on either side.
The ends Of the pipe are bent up at the
sides Of the gates or roads and filled
in with putty to keep out water. Such
lines will work. in good weather, up to
100 miles. The objection to them, how
ever, is that when it is raining the eur
rent has n tendency to run to ground.
SO in rainy districts Interruptions of
the service may happen any day.
