Proper Construction and Public Respesa
For Sbt Wirrs.

A paper was read before the Indc-
pendent Telephone Association of tho
United States at Buffalo not long ago
BY s. p Sheerin. Some of his ideas
are calculated to provoke discussions
and will not command universal ass
sent, but others are sensible and con-
vinc,ng. Mr.. Sheerin favored plenty
Of neat, heavy poles, none of them
shorter than twenty-five feet, and at
least six inches in diameter. Then lie
would allow no grounded lines, but
have complete metallic circuits. The
| better the line the better the services
and IL the general appearance was re-
| spectacle he thought it would COM
mand better treatment from small
boys. The telephone, Mr.. Sheerin I'M
slsts, has a perfect right on the high
way. since it is built for cemmunica-
tion between residents OF town, ex-
actly as a road is.
Strong ground was taken in regard
TO trees. The speaker said: AS 1t
was necessary to trim away the orig
inal forests TO make the roads 80 L
would trim away the trees along the
side OF the road which belongs to the
telephone. Trees along highways.
near houses, can just AS well be set
back twenty-five or thirty feet. They
have no business on the highway or
overlapping the highway. when they
interfere with the uses OF the high
way"
Whatever ba thought of this and
other opinions expressed by Mr.. Sheer
in. few will dissent from the follow
ing doctrine. 1.-The telephone-whicb
after all, has only had It's development
in the last six or seven years-is a
greater boon to farmers than to any
other class Of people. The great draw.
backs OF country life are its isolation.
its meagre opportunities for social in
tercoursc, and its still fewer oppor-
tunities for protection. When we add
to these the disadvantages OF being
out OF touch with the market and out
of reach of the great news pulse OF the
country, the sum Of the country life's
shortcomings is complete. The teTe-
phone changes all this. 1t comes as n
benefaetor, exceeding all others in it's
possibilities and usefulness. No man
can fully estimate its benefit to the
farmer. 1t brings his ear close to the
market tickers of the world; brings
the weather report to his door In time
TO protect his crops and cattle, and
travels what would be to him and his
horse weary miles in the ordinary
transaction Of his every day business"

Big Man Played ohllahooa Gamos.

Persons walking through City Hall
Park the other day stopped to gaze
curlously at hulking Italian laborer
who sat on the curb of the plaza en-
gagged in an odd pastime. He was so
intent on what he was doing that he
failed for time to notice the atten-
ton he was attracting.
The big fellow was evidently wait
ing for the loading of wagon. He
had selected half dozen pebbles from
q heap of earth which had been hoist
ed out of the subway excavation and
had adopted one of the games of his
childhood to help him pass away the
time
He would arrange five of the peb-
bles in Il row several inches apart and
would then toss the sixth in the air
and swiftly picking up one OF the
stones from the curb deftly catch the
other in It's descent. 1t was much
Ike the game of jackstones, except
that there were no ''onesys," "twosys"
or ''upsy-catch," with which children
OF to-day vary the sport.
The very incongruity of the picture
made 1t attractive-that great, strong
chap amused by such simple pas
time.
When at last, looking up, he discov-
cred the little group of people looking
Mt him, he gathered up the pebbles,
