Swapping Telephones.

The following story comes from the
Grand Rapids Press, and has to do
with a man and woman who are em.
ployed in different offices in one of the
large buildings of that city. Each
office has telephone, but as it happens
one is an instrument belonging to the
Citizens Company, the other a Bell
Instrument.
One day the man had occasion to use
the Citizens line, and stepped across
the hall to the lady's office.
Have you a Citizens 'phone?" he
asked, and she replied In the affirma.
tive.
Well" he ventured, I'm a citizen.
May use itT'
Why, of course he might use it; but
inwardly she was inclined to envy his
ability to stand up and assert his clti-
zenship in this way, for some of her
womanly propensities were of the
''newish" sort. An hour later she hal
anced accounts with him.
Have you a Bell telephone?" she
asked, on stepping into his office. He
did not try to deny 1t.
"Wel, I'm belle; may l use itf'

gan the study of law. He was attend
ing Harvard University In 1866 wheI
he received commission as SeconC
Lieutenant Of regulars upon the rec
ommendation Of Gems. Sheridan ant
Sherman. After brief service In the
infantry he was made Lieutenant In
the Fourth Cavalry, and with that reg
iment he was identified In nearly all
the important events of his subsequent
career. In 1870 lie was made q cap.
tain, and 1t was while In this position
that he rid the Southwest of the mur.
derous Geronimo.
His regiment did nothing but fight
Apaches for years, and Lawton studied
them as a naturalist studies venomous
snakes, and took much the same view
OF them. In 1886, when Geronimo and
his Apache band Of thieves had been
of the San Carlos reservation a long
time, raiding In the Vicinity, Lawton
was sent after them by Gen. Miles. The
cavalrymen chased the Indians over
the deserts and into the mountains.
Their horses gave out and they follow
ed on foot. Their ratIons gave out and
they lived on what they could gather
as they moved. They ran Geronimo
down, after covering 1886 miles. One
day one of the old chiefs braves came
Into camp with message. Geronimo
wanted to talk, and Lawton went alone
to see him. An Apache Is no more
trustworthy than a mad dog, but Law
ton sat down with the treacherous
chief In the midst of his warriors and
powwowed with him to such effect
that he presently led him and his war
party prisoners to Gen. Miles.
From 1888 until the Spanish war
broke out Lawton was attached to the
Inspector Generals department, with
the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. In
May, 1898, he was made a Brigadier
General of Volunteers and at Santiago
the operations against Eel
Caney. The marvel Is that he was not |
killed. He never availed himself of |
cover. His commanding figure was the
most conspicuous thing wherever there
was hot fighting, and every Spanish
sharpshooter within a mile had always
chance at Lawton. When he recon-
1oitered, he rode preferably In front of
he trenches on the firing line. When
he had to move about the zone Of ac-
ion he went right across, regardless of
my storm Of bullets, even though a de-
our to the rear would avoid all dan
'er. He simply never thought Of the
possibility of being hurt by bullets, he
lad defed them so often.
In the Philippine Jungles.
In January, 1899, he was sent to the
philippines and did the severest fight
lg. He relieved Gen. Anderson In
Ommand of the regular troops, and on
pril 10 he captured Santa Cruz, a
ilipino stronghold at the extreme end
the lake near Manila. There was ;
larp fighting, and Lawton led his |
oops, using the Indian tactics which
had learned SO we'll on the Western 4
aims. Then he captured San Rafael t
ter a jungle fight, and then San Isl
o, the insurgent capital. President g
cKinley sent him congratulations for 6
ese successful operations. His oper- y
ions covered the entire central part q
Luzon. Up to the day of his death a
iwton was in. the field almost con- q
antly, dispensing the insurgents and n
tting off the ammunition and sup .
les. He was under fire several times. :,

WEALTH OF Il HUNG CHANG.

oome OF the Ways in Which He Accu-
mulated Enormous Fortune.
Ii Hung Chang, the most conspicu-
Gus chinese Of the age, is often called
the richest man in the world. This as.
sertion Is easier made than proved, for
nobody knows Low rich he is. His for
tune may certainly be counted by mill
Mons Oh dollars but how many mil
lions Is purely conjectural. One wav
III which Ii for many years made an
enormous sum of money was to use
thousands of soldiers in his own private
enterprises without paying them cent
ior thelr labor. In the course Of time
he purchased extensive estates in tha
rlce-growing regions and raised more
bushels OF rice every year than the
bonanza farmers of North Dakota used
TO raise Of wheat. He got his labor for
nothing and his great crop of rice was
almost clear profit. He simply turned
MS soldiers loose in the rice fields and
they had to be content with the rations
ana the miserable plttance paid to
them by the government.
The great man also became his own
contractor for army supplies. He would
sell hls own rice to the government for
army rations at an enormous profit
ana pocketed handsome rake-off on
all other supplies furnished to the tens
OF thousands of soldiers In the Pechiu
province. Then he was chief sunramo
OF the custom houses for a long dis
lance around the Gulf of Pechili. and
there was nothing mean about the
stream OF gold that poured into bis
strong-box through this channel If
mas long been notorious that one of tba
methods he employed was to innort
quantities of goods through his agents
without the payment of a cent of dutv
ana then sell the goods at a round
hgure 10 his countrymen. This meth
od OF money-making finally involved
the old gentleman in trouble cbaroes
