More Efficient Telephone Service.

To Inc Editor OF I he Evening StAr:
MIR. F. A. Richardson's endeavor, in a re-
cent issue of The Star to arouse interest
for efficient telephone service will, with
out doubt, meet hearty response from other
sufferers of the present unsatisfactory
usage of which he forcibly speaks. Nor
can the company assert that the grievances
complained of have not been brought to
the attention of the proper officers and en-
ployes of the corporation in question. 1t is
perhaps within the bounds of truth to say
that the newly installed exchange system is
not yet in perfect working order; that
central is still little green. but con-
tinuance of such condition for any con-
siderable period is certainly unsatisfactory
to the company's subscribers.
Yours truly.

A Common Governor.

The Kansas City Journal says
that some of the young women COM
posing an orchestra visited the Kan
sas statehouse the other day. They
were wandering aimlessly about
when gentleman, observing that
they were strangers, took them into
the office of the governor and intro
duced them to that dignitary. Gov
ernor Stanley is an adept at making
people feel at ease, and he soon had
the young women laughing and iok-
ing at great rate, but the most
amusing thing of all did not occur
until the party had passed from the
governors office into the corridor.
There one of the girls commenced
to jump up and down and said ex-
citedly: "Glory, gloryl Now | can
go home and tell papa that at last
| have seen live governor. But, :"
she continued more soberly, 81 did
not expect to find governor so
common that he would meet people
without his uniform on"

Tramps' New Scheme.

The hoboes who wander up and
down the highways in Kansas have
invented plan that furnishes them
the best living possible. One of the
promoters of the scheme went to a
hotel man in the western part of
the state not long since and repre-
sented that he was an employee of
a railway company and was working
on the section near the town. He
made arrangements to board at the
hotel until he had received his first
check.
He was given a good room and
plenty to eat. Every day his dinner
pail, which the landlord had bought
for him, was filled in the morning,
and he went down the track to
work, as it was supposed. He board
ed at the hotel for two weeks and
one morning left and did not re-
turn. He took the dinner pail
along. Investigation proved that he
had never worked on the section
and the only work which he per-
formed which left any visible re-
suits was on the credulity of the
hotel keeper.

Looked the Part.

Senator Bard of California is said
to be rather careless about his dress
and is rarely seen in the frock
coat and shining silk hat generally
supposed to constitute the garb Of a
senator. His brother, who somewhat
resembles him, is, on the contrary,
very particular about his apparel. A
story is going the rounds to the ef-
feet that the brothers were travel
ing together through the interior
last summer when they met many
of the senator's constituents.
AT little station that lay on
their route rough old miner board
ed the train and, holding his hand
out to Mr.. Bard, said: "I1ow dye
do, senator? Glad to see yer in
these diggin's."
'1'm not the SENATOR" explained
Mr.. Bard. 'It's my brother here
that you are looking for"
The miner gave one whitening
glance at Senator Bard. "Waal,"
he remarked slowly, "ef yer amt
the senator yer ought to be, fur yer
look the part an he don't"

A Modest Reoucst.

General Alger in his book, recent
ly published, tells of unique re-
quest that came to the war depart
ment from young lady in Boston
during the Spanish-American war,
He says: 'Her note paper, handwrit-
ing and rhetoric vouched at least
for the culture of the writer. Her
request was simple and plainly
worded. With much unfeigned ear
nestness she stated her case. The
press dispatches had announced
that the volunteer regiment of
which her brother was a member
was to leave for Cuba on a fixed
date. But the brothers birthday
occurred two days after the date
assigned for his embarkation. A
birthday box of cake, jellies, pies,
ETC., she said, had been forwarded
to him and would not be received
if the regiment left on the date an
nounced. She naively asked that
the regiment be detained until the
sweetmeats arrived, as she was sure
it would make no difference to TIE
government, whereas ii would be
'oh, such a disappointment for my
brother ="

From an English Source.

An English newspaper tells by
way of illustrating what it calls
''the native precocity of the Amer
lean child" this story of an incident
on board an Atlantic liner: A little
girl barely seven years of age who
had tasted every dish at the saloon
dinner on the first day out was not
asked by the steward in attendance
whether she would have cheese. The
man offered the little miss ice cream,
fruit and cakes, only to receive re-
fusal in each case. On asking
whether there was anything else on
the table she would like, the small
diner replied with great air of dig
nifty: eyes. Bring me some Camem-
bert and champagne, please

THE KING HAD TO BORROW.

On recent occasion King Chris
tian of Denmark while out for d
walk met one of his courtiers who
was renowned for his stinginess. AS
it happened, on previous occasion
the king had ''treated" him, and it
had come to the royal ears that the
courtier had not yet finished grum-
bliPg at having been ''bilked." Full
of desire to repair the past, the king
rushed up to his subject.
"Now, my dear count, l am really
going to stand treat on this occa-
sion," he said.
Then, 10 and behold, as usual, on
searching for money the king found
nonel Luckily at that moment he
saw through the open door the
crown prince and his equerry rid
ing by. The king rushed out and
called to his son:
''For goodness sake, lend me some
cash. I've stood treat to Count So
and-so again, and if he finds himself
done for the second time he will
raise a rebellion"
The situation was saved, but the
court has not yet finished its laugh.
