Telephone numbers have an actual
money value" said an officer of the
American Bell Telephone company.
''The assertion has a strange sound,
but If you think for moment Of the
advantage a business house derives
from having its location well known
the thing seems only natural.
"In the course Of time peoples minds
begin to associate firm with it's tele-
phone number. and if when they start
to call up an old friend they find him
masquerading under a new number 1t
is as much of shock as If they had
called at house with which they were
in the habit of doing business and
found it had moved away. 1t all
comes under the legal head of good
will a very elusive commodity, but
one which has its market value.
so much is this fact appreciated by
some of our old patrons that they are
willing to pay heavy mileage If they
move away from the neighborhood of
their exchange in order to retain their
old telephone address. Many impOr-
tant houses have followed the north
ward trend of business in the last few
years. and there are several cases of a

much assurance, who gazed upon the
girl with freedom and affected to ad-
mire the various fancy articles exposed
for sale, but bought nothing.
what will you please to buy?" ask
ed mademoiselle, with an exquisite
smile.
"Oh," replied the young dandy, with
a languishing look. what most wish
to buy is unhappily not for SALE"
'Tell me what you wish" she re-
sponded.
"Oh, no; 1 dare not declare my wish
es." .'.
Nevertheless let me know what you
wish to buy" persisted the fair sales
woman.
/ "Well, then, since you demand it, l
should like a ringlet of your glossy
black hair"
She manifested no embarrassment at
che bold request, but with pair OF
scissors Immediately clipped off one OF
her beautiful locks and handed it to the
astonished youth. remarking that the
price was only 500.
Her audacious admirer was thunder
struck with the demand, but dared not
demur, as by this time group had col
lected and were listening to the CONVEX
sation. So he took the hair, paid over
the money and left the hall.

A Poet With VigOr.

The McMillans of London published
a book of poems by T. E. Brown. which
the English critics lauded because of
the ''vigor of the poets descriptive
style" Here is little sample of it re-
ferring to the sailing Of a fishing
smack:
So to the jetty gradual she hauled;
Then the tller took
And chewed and spat upon his hand and bawled,
And one the canvas shook
Forth like a moldy bat. and one, with mods
And smiles. lay the bowsprit end and called
And cursed the harbor master by his gods.
And. rotten from the gunwale to the keel,
Rat ridded, blge bestank,
Slime slobbered, horrible. saw her reel
And drag her oozy flank
And sprawl among the delft young waves that
laughed
And leapt and turned in many sportive wheel
AS she thumped onward with her numbering
draft.
We believe this is poet who could
almost do justice to the Chicago stock
yards. The rhythmic swish of the pig
sticker's knife and the thrilling splash
Of the hog in the scalding vat ought to
thrill such bard to the very core of
his immortal soul. Give us a call,
Brown.-Chicago Times Herald.
