How to Use Your Telephone
 Exchange.

If you have a teleuhone ln your office or store, ring up "central' and then go and wait on a customer.
 Always speak in an under tone in order to make "eenlral2 ask you over what you want. If he does not hear you tell hlm ito wake up" or take the cot ton out of his ears, CT put his teeth in, ;" etc.
 Take your tune Tn answer ing your bell, or what Is better do not answer 1t at all, but ln about half an hour ring up and ask who called you, and get mad if central" has forgotten who it was. He has nothing else to do but remember.
 Allow every one who wants to, to use your telephone.
 Hang the receiver big end up, as in this way it gets full of dust, which makes another cause for complaint
 Bang on the transmitter with a lead pencil as though you intended to knock it through the wall. This invariably makes 1t talk better.
 Refuse to pay all toll mess ages, and if you are on a line with someone always listen to them and be sure to want to use the line while they are us- ing it. Whenever you see the manager tell him that if he can't give you a better phone or get the one fixed, you will throw the whole thing out the window.
 When the inspector comes deny that you have ever com plained of the telephone, and that it works like a charm.
 Paste this in your telephone directory for future reference.

Wood we're busily engaged at the war
Office. General Sir Redyers Buller called
q 3 the. war Office this afternoon and a
special b3arl meetin was held, Natur'
ally, nothing of the discussion was made
public but il is understood that General
Buller will not proceed for the ape un,
til nex5 week, except IN case OF unfore
seen developments. Many members o.
parliament are returning to town IN an
ticiraticn OF an early summoninG OF tht

impression. .tha5, although some speaker
may express disapproval of the govern
ment's policy, few will so to the extrem'
of voting agail55 the required credit. L
Is considered more probable that the
will abstain from participating in di

To BE Vaccinated Again.

Letters from San Francisco state that
the members of the First Montana, who
were expecting to have need of both
arms when they meet the girls they left
behind them, are rather indignant be
cause OF an order that, on account of the
appearance OF smallpox at the Preside,
they shall all be vacciaated again. They
were vaccinated at Camp Smith, again
at Camp Merritt, again whin they reach
ed Cavite and again just before they lett
Manila, and they feel that they should
be immune by this time. 1t is presumed
that those who were successfully vaccin-
ated before leaving Manila will not be
compelled to have their arms scratched
again.-Great Falls Tribune.
