TeIephones In Thunderstorms

Time was when every telephone bore
a conspicuous notice warning patrons
against using it during a thunderstorm.
The warning was a reasonable and neces-
sary one in the early days of the art, but
today it no longer exists because the rea-
son for it has passed away. Methods
of protecting electrical circuits against
damage by lightning have become SO per-
feet that fear is no longer felt of any
accident or danger from this cause. The
telephone works practically as well dur
ing a thunderstorm as at any other time.
and people no longer avoid the neighbor-
hood of electric lights when they hear
thunder. Indeed people in cities are no
longer timorous about thunderstorms, be-
cause the percentage Of damage actually
done by lightning is growing smaller
every year in the larger towns.-Elec-
trical Review.

THE FUGITIVE.

A hunted thing through copse and wood
Night alter nitht he skuiksi alie tia~ied
To where amid dark homestesds stood
One gloomy garden locked and walled.
He paused in fear each step be took
And waited till the moon was gone,
Then stole in by the little brook
That still laughed down the terraced lawn.
And up the well known path he crept
And through the tangled briers tore.
Aud he, while they who sought him slept,
Saw his ancestral home once more.
There song and lights were still astir.
And by her he could see one stand.
And he had Jared so far to her.
Who spoke with her and took her hand.
Then back by copse and wood he crept.
while yet the dawn was cold and dim,
Ard while in her white room she slept,
Twas his old hound crawled back with him.

but they were unwilling to go out un-
less the majority did. Independent ac-
ton, upon which Davis had based his
hopes, was decidedly against the in
cIinations of the men.
The Illinois Steel company's officials
deny that any men have struck, and
that only few are absent from sick

tains that six men came to him and
announced that they had struck. and
were ready to assist him in any way
possible. He gave them their instruc-
tions, and they went out to work
among the men.
