learn to talk TO telephone intelligently
Not one person in ten can do SO at pres
ent, and the most of them attribute the
inability to do so 10 central" when as
matter of fact the trouble is with them
selves. In most cases the speaker i'm
agines he must yell, which is entirely un
necessary. The best results are obtained
by speaking in an ordinary, natural tone
of voice, it is always well to bear in minG
that the telephone with which you are
wrestling is not the only one connected
with the system. That "there are others
is very much in evidence about tele-
phone exchange. - Bhzzdrd. Hello

Will some of our neighboring eX-
changes kindly tell us the number of the
law which they claim passed the last leg
islature requiring BARRIERS to take extra
ordinary sanitary precautions regarding
the business of their shops? AS fact no
such law was passed in this State and the
item probably releres to a New York
State act. Pennsylvania BARRIERS need
not buy towels by the case nor soap by
the box even if some of the newspapers
do say so.-TIdioiIe News. About the
best we can do for Bre'r White in the
way of information on this subject is to
state that the bill applies only to BARRIERS
in cities of the first, second and third
classes, and us country dudes will have
to struggle along in pretty much the old
fashioned way, which has done us very
well usually, in point of cleanliness, and
if the average barber will see that his
razor now and then gets in contact with
the hone all will be peace and joy. Next !!
The REPUBLICAN is in receipt of a
copy of DR.. Meningitis Pioneer History
OF Jefferson county, and we find 1t one of
the most fascinating volumes that has
come into our possession in many day.
II is handsomely bound in half Turkey
Morocco, with gilt edges, containing up
ward of so very fine steel engravings il
Illustrative of the subjects treated and a
number of colored plates, the whole
printed on very fine quality of enam-
eled paper. Among the subjects treated
are-pioneer settlers and social habits
the Indians of an early date; our land
purchases pioneer animals, birds, rep
tiles, etc.; roads, turnpikes, modes of
turnpikes; the educational and relig-
ious history of this section, with no end
of sketches and personal mention of old
timers. In fact, the Doctor has given
to the public wonderful collection of
facts gathered from the most authenti-
Gated sources and personal knowledge,
a work which cost him over five years of
ceasless toll to gather up and put in shape.
The book does not contain material
fact which has not been verified over and
over again by ihe indefatigable author.
Much of the contents relates to Forest
county, large portion ofwhich belonged
to Jefferson at one time. The book is
sold at $3.50 and $3.50, according to bind
ing, and as only limited number were
printed, and the supply is now nearly
exhausted, it will be necessary to order
early if you would like copy. Address
