EXPERIMENT PROVES A SUCCESS
But i6 Of the Free Telephones Taken Oul
After Good Trial.

The experiment of educating the
people up to the use of the teIanbone
by giving them the use Of an instru-
ment free Of expense for several
months, has proved a success. Now
the number Of telephone users in the
city is greatly increased
Several months ago the Telenhnnn
Company arrived at the conclusion thai
there was not enough telephones used
in the city and the only reason whv
more people We're net using tho CON
veniencc was that they did not appre-
ciate its value. Accordingly IT was de-
termined to give everyone who wished
the benefit of a free trial service. The
linemen were busy for a long time put
ting in Instruments with the result
that miles Of new Wire We're strung III
the city.
In fact so many instruments
We're put in that il was necessary to d
long been in vogue, that of calling for
subscriber by name. A new rule
vas made Sd that it is now necessary
to call by numbers. With the inrova-
ton Of the new rule the people soon be-
gan to See that BY altering strictly to
the rules Of the company they could
&c, connections much quicker than un-
der the Ola system. The result Is that
the city now has an cnviab,e telc-
phone system.
OF all those WED had the Instruments
put in on trial bU, is have had them
taken ont after the free trial service.

the festival.
Meanwhile. subscriptions for single
concert tickets are coming in rapidly
at the eastern festival headquarters,
Andrews music house, Bangor, and il

l wish you a speedy recovery OF
health.
The man bowed and closed the IL
brary door behind him. The senator
heard his footsteps on the stairs. He
crossed the room with the package of
papers in his hand. His first impulse
was to call him back and return the
st. James Avenue Company its prop
erty. He heard the front door slam.
His visitor had gone.
The Senator returned to his large,
comfortable chair and laid the deeds
of the Morton estate beside the blue
pamphlet. He sat staring into the fire,
The greedy flames were creeping
s%tealthily about a fresh log, which
Kissed and spluttered rebelliously.
They writhed around it, then leaped
into one tall, red blaze. The fire was
victor, the fresh log was a glowing
mass of fame. There was only one
thought in the Senator's mind; he was
repeating it over and over again in a
few words-one hundred thousand dol

John Youmans was a comparatively
poor nan He had married 20 years
ago on leaving college, then had been
ambitious enough to seek a practice
in a large city. The children had
come fast till there were five boys in
ten years. They had been ten very
hard years-yet filled with happiness.
He looked up tenderly at a portrait of
a sweet-faced woman, that hung over
the mantel. One could read constan-
cy and true womanly courage in the
gentle mouth and the beautiful eyes.
She had helped him bravely through
these tcilsome. poverty stricken years.
When success and honor began to come
she had been S proud of him and so
happy; every day of her life had been
an inspiration.
1t seemed a lifetime instead of two
years since she had gone. His memory
went back to that day when it was all
over; when he had kissed the still,
white face and the folded hands. He
had come alone to this room to sit
