has the merit which brings success. 1t cures every
form OF piles and cures them to stay cured. 1t is

The Telephone.

The delay OF the arrival of the tele-
phone cable, for more than three weeks.
was owing to the fact that the cable was
lying in the freight office at Kansas City.

machinery was overlooked The way
bill clerk. Mr. KIinedfensi. managed to
put a tracer, which discovered the
whereabouts of the missing cable 1t
arrived here Saturday Owing to this
misfortune the telephone line was not
put in operation until this week.
The main or central office of the tele-
phone is in Strange s. Sumnersby's
store. There is at present only % phones
in use, but the number will be increased
to meet the demand. This automatic
telephone is new invention and the
ssheIIo girl'' is dispensed with. Each
phone has an automatic switch in the
central office. There are two cables con-
Meeting with the office poles and switch
board in the central office. One is 100
feet and the other 33 feet The cables
contain one hundred wires each wire
connecting with a different phone Wet
batteries used
There is practicability in the automatic
telephone. 1t is adaptable to either
large small exchanges. The perfec-
ton of its mechanism, the clearness of its
| transmission of the sound gives satisfac-
| ton to patron and proprietor alike.
Any number of conversations can be
carried on at the same time with out in
terferrfng with one another. Each con-
versation being on a separate circuit, it
is impossible for any one to interrupt or
hear what is said. There is time lost
in calling central and awaiting the pleas
ure of the operator there to connect you
with the number you desire. Service is
strictly and absolutely private
The number of phones and lines will
be extended as demanded. and it is be-
lieved one hundred win be in use before

A Coincidence.

Environment has much more to do
with lives than heredity, says a
philosopher This is very true. and il
has become an established belief. The
humble beginning and career in the
lives of two of our citizens afford a strik-
ing coincidence Judge 3. F. Milton
and Judge Ed H. Madison were born on
the same quarter section of land near
Plymouth. ILL.,, but there is a difference of
at least ten years in their ages This
does not destroy the parallel. Judge
Milton is the senior. He and Judge
Madison We're not eotemporary, but each
one attended the same school house and
each played the same sports incident to
the locality and the season. There was
varying the routine of ordinary
boys plays, and what Milroa did Madi-
son did in succession Perhaps both
snowbaIled the schoolmaster, and each
played truaut on the first swimming days
when summer came around. At any
rate Milton did not account for his sun
burnt back, when he was questioned
about leaving school, and going into the
big pond And Madison never did
either. What is true of one boy, is most
ly true of all boys. The boy who won I
lie about his Gun burnt back in the early
spring time will never go to Congress.
When Milton was vending his way
westward, seeking the fame opportunity
| affords, Madison wrestling on a
hard board seat in the little log school
house solving the problem in simple
fractions and wondering of the greatness
of the character in his history lesson.
Both came west. Milton settled in
Dodge City and was a school teacher.
Madison came west and was school
teacher in Wichita. Milton elected
county attorney of Ford county, and
eleven years thereafter he elected
Judge of the Appellate court. Madison
was elected county attorney of Ford
county, and eleven years thereafter he
was appointed Judge of the District
Court. The line of coincidence ends
here, and we leave the future to work
out the problem of is continuation. The
parallel is drawn different lines when
applied to physical appearance and
traits of character. Milton is tall and
slender and ministerial looking. Madison
is short and stout and with rotund figure
and striking Both are Presby terians.
Both are deacons. When boy Milton
wore ont his pants on the knees, and he
adheres to this pious notion. Madison
wore out his breeches on the seat sliding
down cellar doors. While he is pious in
the true sense of the word, his pantaloons
are sometimes patched on the eXtre nifty.
| He still slides.
| What the future has in store no man
knows. Man may be the architect of his
own fortune, but often times opportunity
gives no foundation on which to erect
| the structure. But having once built his
career upon an enduring basis opport-
unity opens the way for more fortune.
The lives OF both Milton and Madison
are striking examples of what intellectual
/ off and sincere TurnOEa in life NAV
do for young man. Opportunity comes
/ to the young man who makes a strenu-
Gus effort in life and harvesting his crop in
| the proper season. He takes his color
| from his surroundings

Game is Getting scarce.

~ 1t ought to interest the people and
legislators of Missouri to know that
IN that state game is now almost ex-
&inct. Within quarter of a century
the game product of Massachusetts
has decreased nearly 80 per cent.
The protective laws are violated and
xnarketmen manage to supply the
demand for game out of season
Legislatures can do a great work by
<7evising measures to prevent des-
tructivc inroads on the game and
fish of a state. When properly
guarded, the amount consumed an
nualIy may be large without reducing
the basis of increase But deadletter
game laws and wasteful management
will quickly lead to the condition in
which Massachusetts, finds itself.
It's gamesis gone. and a renewal prac-
xically hopeless. There is here an
important lesson for Missouri, and q
subject that ought not to be treated
as insignificant by its legislatures.-
