This trunk does angrily declare
He vii not let them brush his hair.
And though his good nurse often tries
To brush it, he just screams and cries,
And bumps around upon the floor,
And tumbles uIr against the door.
And then perhaps he'll run outside,
Or in the darksome attic hide.
But, dearie, I am glad to see
You have your hair brushed properly.

eARB.WIRE TELEPHONE LINE.
Three Towns in Indiana Connected by
Using Ordinary Fence Wircs.

Three Towns in Indiana Connected by
Using Ordinary Fence Wires.
One Of the most novel telephone sys-
tens in the world Is the "barb- wire"
line, which connects the Indiana towns
Of Anderson. Pendleton and ingalls,. 1t
Is fifteen miles in length. Its inventor.
builder and sole owner. Cassi,ls Alley
Of Pendleton, now has six subscribers
Mt $50 year each. The time Is not far
distance when there will be tenfOld this
number. One clothing company Mt An.

ton. and the Wagner glass works, With
offices at Anderson and factory at In
gals are using this barbwire system In
their business affairs exclusively. They
use the line frequently. They can con-
vert 1t into a private line by plugs 80
arranged that when one party Is using
the line he can cut out all others ex-
cept in Mr.. Alleys residence, which is
used as central station. Ordinary
phones are used with no special
strength Of battery and there is very
little trouble with the lines.
In constructing the line. Mr. Alley
used the top strand of the barb-wire
fence Of the Big -Four railroad, making
the connections with the offices of his
subscribers with ordinary telephone
wire. In some instances where the
posts had rOtted it was necessary to
paint the wire and posts with rubber
paint to insulate the wire. This Is fairly
satisfactory and puts the line In shape
to be used as well In wet weather as at
any other time. The inventor expects
to put in newly invented form Of glass
insulator, which Is very cheap and the
only one yet found that can be used on
fence wire line.
On this line, wagon roads are crossed
thirty-Seven times and railroads six
times. At these crossings the line is
either carried through Il gas-pipe con-
duit, with insulated wire or by building
bridges, which Is done by merely nail
ing a piece Of timber fifteen feet long
to the last fence post and extending
high enough to allow clearance for traf-
fic.
The whole line of fifteen miles was
built at cost of about 500, and the
outfit for each house, consisting of re-
ceiver, transmitter. battery. call. etc.
costs not over $40. The magnet bell
call is used.

measures 10 hands and weighs be-

enormous horns from point to point
measure nine feet seven inches. The
horns could easily be made to measure
over 10 feet If taken Off the steer,

steer Is standing in natural position
on level ground the tip ends Of his
horns are fully six feet above the
ground.
Time was. fifteen or less years ago,
when the long horns were no curiosity
