Must Be Polite.

General Manager Underwood, of the
Baltimore & Ohio road, has issued the
following general notice to station
agents and train men:
Your especial attention is directed
to the treatment of patrons by en-
ployes of the company. Complaints
have been made from various sources
of discourtesy Ito freight and passenger
patrons on the part of our agents, or
their representatives, at several of our
stations, and also inaaention of con-
ductors and bralIemen to properly
care for the comfort of passengers.
There should be no cause for such
complaints. It is "A part of your duty
to see hat our patrons are treated all
all times with politeness anl courtesy,
not only by yourself, but by employees
under your charge. One of the valu-
able assets of a railroad company~is
uniform politeness and courtesy from
all ITS employees to its patrons, and this
capital must not be encroached upon.
II is proper for you 20 understand that
uoes not depend wholly
on your efficiency, but in other direc-
tons also, and Will be measured n a
great degree by the treatment accorded
Eatrons."

The Breaking Of the Funnybone.

IF there is any truth in the story
that Bob Fitzsimons has had his funny
bone fractured it is really a serious
matter" said a Newark man yesterday
The displacement of the olecranon is

for months, and then DR.. Henry Fish,
of Fargo, told me. 1t was too late to
do anything then except exercise to

"A new development set in then and
the lower part of my forearm became

At present l can pull or lift as much

Kansas City Company Keeps Rec
ord of Phone Conversations.

There is a young woman in the en-
ploy of the telephone company at its
central exchange who is aid to be an
eavesdropper. She is a stenographer
and her duty is to sit at tesk at CEN
tral office and take down in short hand
all that passes over any telephone line
that is to be investigated. She sits all
day with a trumpet at her ear, and She
hears both sides of any conversation
that is held over any wire with which
it is desirable that she be "cut in."
This is done only at the request of the
subscriber whose telephone is investi-
gated.
While the stenographer or telephone
detective is making a report of the
conversation on any one telephone
line she hears nothing that is said on
ether lines. She sits at desk apart
and every word that she hears is jot-
ted down in stenographic characters
and then copied by her on the type
WIlltI. 1hlS VI blC WI
versation is then submitted to the
manager of the telephone company
and by him to the subscriber who has
asked for it. If the typewriter report
conveys any information to the sub
scriber he acts on it according to his
own ideas and the matter is secret
between him and the telephone mana
ger. The telephone is in such case a
private detective.
The telephone company is often call
ed upon for verbatim reports of CONVEX
sltions over subscribers telephone,
so the young woman stenographer who
is an eavesdroper by employment, is
kept quite busy. There are subscrib-
ers whose telephones are unaccountab-
ly in almost constant use; there are
oOners whose wires are used for pur-
poses not exactly Legitimate. These
men apply to the telephone manager
for a report of days or a number of
successive days conversations. The
telephone company uses its discretion
about giving the information asked.
While Smith, however, may get a re-
port of the conversation on the tele-
phone for which he pays, tine company
win not tell him what passed over
JCnes's telephone.
A young married man with a tele-
phone in his little home one day had a
solemn and earnest conversation with
the telephone manager. His telephone
at home, said the married man, had
been very busy for several days and he
couldn't account for it; neither could
his young wife. The recently welded
man, however, entertained a very dark
suspicion. The young woman with the

receiver and pencil and pad wen to
work one morning on his case.
The result was most alarming to the
young married man. The typewriter
report showed that as soon as her hus-
band left home in the morning the
wife called up a downtown Office and
began a conversation with one who
had been very attentive to her before
she married. That night the wife was
confronted by an angry spouse. There
followed a domestic settlement" of
fierce intensity.-Kansas City Star.
