TELEPHONES FOR FARMERS.
Many Lines Are Now Under Course of
Construction In Northern
Part of Kansas.

Many rural telephone lines are be-
ing constructed for the benefit of
farmers in northern Kansas. One line
is built, usually connecting with the
county seat, and from a dozen to 30
farmers are connected with it. BY
system of rings, each farmer knows
whether he or someone else is being
called. There are now telephone
plants in most of the larger towns in
northern Kansas, and the farmers can
converse with anyone they choose to
call up. 1t is so arranged that the
rural lines can be connected with the
long-distance lines, and a farmer who
has a telephone can sit in his home
and be connected with Atchison, To-
peka, Kansas City, st. Joseph, and, in
fact, almost any town he chooses
within "a radius of several hundred
miles.
There are now rural telephones out
of Vleits, Downs, Luray, Jewell City,
and other towns. The toll line bust
ness is so promising that a company
is constructing ten-wire long-dis-
tance system from points in north
western Kansas to Kansas City, by
way of Topeka.

CUPID BUSY AT BRISTOL.
Twenty-One Elopements Are Report
ed in . Month in q COnnec.
tlcut Town.

This is Cupid's 3O-day record in Bris-
tol, Conn: Elopements, 81; sudden
marriages. 2; annulments, 1; d.
vorces, 0.
Society has fallen prey to the elope-
ment microbe. Family after family,
rich and staid, is losing sons and
daughters. Elopements are coming so
thick and fast that there is little gos-
sip when fresh one engages atten-
tion. All the parsons are busy.
Only few days ago Hopkins B. Holt
took the town by surprise in announ-
cling his fourth marriage. He is rich.
Common consent put him down as a
confirmed widower. Then he intro
duced wife No. Mrs. Ellsworth, a
fair divorceer Hardly was the mar
riage made public when her nine-year-
old boy was kidnapped.
"My other husband did IT," declared
Mrs. Holt.
Again gossip and another union of
hearts that had been called in other
directions. This time it was William
Listed, Jr., son of rich real estate
broker. His bride was Mrs. Ethel Rials,
just divorced from George Rials.
In 30 days there have been 20 elope-
ments. The other night was the twen-
ty-first. George Allyn and Miss Grace
Bushey were the happy pair. Parental
influence was opposed, so they went to
Port Chester and were married. OF
all the elopements so far but one has
been failure. This other one ended
in an annulment few days after the
honeymoon.

NEW LIFEBOAT A SUCCESS.
Capt. Mayo. the Inventor, and Party
Sail safely Through Heavy Seas
in Cylindrical Craft.

Capt. r. ID. Mayo and party of three,
who started in the Mayo lifeboat from
Chicago at four o'clock the other aft
ernoon, landed in Grand Haven, Mich,
without a mishap at ten o'clock the
next morning. The strong southwest
wind carried the boat in direct line
for the port where they landed, and
not a single drop of water was shipped
during the trip.
The Barry line steamer Alice Staf-
ford, which left Chicago at eight
o'clock in the evening, overlook the
lifeboat 90 miles from the sailing port,
and Capt. Larson's offer of tow was
accepted by the Mayo party. The
cylindrical-shaped life craft bobbed
back and forth in the wake Of the
steamer and rolled continually over
and over, but the persons inside were
always in an upright position, owing
to the outer shell revolving around the
inner. The heavy seas had no effect
whatever on the craft. and II is now
demonstrated that it can live in the
severest storm.
The lifeboat cut loose from the
steamer 22 miles from Grand Haven.
and that port was reached by sailing.
The entire party and the lifeboat came
through the experience without any
damage whatsoever.

SATAN IN TIE HATBAND.
Masculine Finery That wns n Bar
Ia Anyone who Had Not Got
Religion.

The o1rect personal appeals made by
the preacher to any member of his
Hook at negro camp meeting are
often very edifying. The following is
an incident related by Ella Middleton
Tybout, whose story. "The lnterven-
ton of Gran'pap," has just been pub
lished:
In the midst of the sermon the
speaker turned suddenly to young
mulatto and said
"Maybe yo' thinks Gaze yo' got dat
silk hat on yo' haid an raid necktie
wrop aroun' yo' neck dat yo' g'wine to
glory, but yo' amt. Dem fixins was
sent yo' by old Satan hisself; Bro
Moses nevah wore no silk hat; Uncle
Abraham nevah had no raid necktie."
Whereupon the youth cast the con-
demned articles from him and threw
himself upon the mourners' bench to
repent, while one of the principal pill
lars of the church stole off into the
woods and rescued the hat. When
asked why he could wear an article
which was too wicked for the young
man. he'replied:
"Why, yo' sees, mistis, Use got
'ligion all right, so I kin wa'ar Bro
Johnson's hat fuh him and sanctify

peared, and ! very much doubt II Bro.

EFFECT OF HIGH ATTITUDES.
French Scientists Make Interesting
Experiments on Blood During
Balloon Trips.

Four balloon loads of scientists
have acquired fund of medical lore,
gathered at high attitudes, from OBJ
servations on themselves, and a col
lection of animals, including big
Saint Bernard.
The chief point investigated was
the influence of altitude upon the
blood. When on the ground a cubic
millimeter contains 100000 corpus
cles. At 1000 meters the number in
creased to 1O,00O,0O0. A careful test
showed this increase to be only APP
parent.
Rabbits and dogs lost weight as
the balloon mounted, and regained
weight on descending. This showed
a considerable diminution of water in
their bodies. Their blood was there
fore more concentrated. The obser-
vations have a direct bearing on
mountain cure. Several experts
jump to the conclusion that the re-
suit demonstrates the futiity of
mountain air in the cure of consump-
ton.

Two Escape as by u Miracle.

A most remarkable railroad accident
occurred south of Kenosha, Wis, the

Mccall, who are employed at Zion City,
stepped from one Northwestern track
to another TO avoid south-bound

knocking it a distance of 30 feet, both
men clearing the track. If Browns
body had not struck that of Mccall

box has recovered sufficiently to be
able to establish identity positively.
lie said his name was John Beck and
that he lived up to about a year ago in
Buda-Pesth, Hungary.
The doctors would not allow him to

from him and other sources to show
that Beck was house painter, and
that he had come across the card of
an uptown hotel in New York city,
the proprietors of which have Ger

them he wrote that he could get no
work in Germany and was coming to
America and hoped the hotel men
could find him something to do.
Then he fitted up packing case,
paid freight charges on it and engaged
a carter to take il to the Hamburg pier

New York, Oct. 4.-The stock mar
ket opened fairly active. The weak
ness which characterized the dealings
at the close of business yesterday was
missing. but on the other hand no adj
equate support appeared anywhere. The
absence of further liquidation, how
ever caused quite an active demand
for the short interest, and a few stocks,
notably Brooklyn Rapid Transit, ST.
Paul and Manhattan, showed advances
in comparison with yesterdays final
prices. Weak features of the railway
list were Texas and Vanderbilt issues.
Among the specialhes. A. c. P. was
fairly steady. as was Tennessee Coal
and Iron. The latter paid industrials
continued heavy. The United States
Steel stock moved within narrow linn
its, and Sugar showed a disposition to
rally from yesterday. London sent in
lower prices for American stocks, but
foreign houses sold here on the opening
of business. The prospect of another
very favorable bank statement to-mor-
row lead to some covering of short
contracts, but otherwise there was very
little to engage attention. In the main
the trading followed the same general
lines which have prevailed throughout
the week.

Condensed Milk Globe Trotter.
Oh. e. Armstrong in Ainslee's)


THAT commonplace and indispensa-
BILE article, condensed milk, is also
great traveller, and for twenty years
the label on the tin has been the mes
sage sent by America to millions of un-
couth people who never heard of the
great republic, and who, If the anti
climax may be allowed, never set eyes
on a mich COW. The explorer and the
missionary are the advance agents of
condensed milk. 1t goes wherever they
venture. and when the missionary has
children it is the one thing his house
hold cannot do without. There is no
wilderness where a discarded milk tin
does not glitter in the sun. 1t has
blazed the way across Africa: 1t has
been very near to the Pole. for Lieu
tenant Peary relates that eighteen
years after the Greeley expedition each
ed canned rations in the frozen North
he found the condensed milk as sweet
and wholesome as ever. In the fast
nesses of Northern Luzon, where an
American face had never been seen.
General Young's soldiers found tins of
condensed milk with the brand of the
eagle. 1t can be found all over Mongo-
liza and Manchuria, and even in Tibet
their tea, use the condensed kind as
a food. chiefly for their children. In
India also it has a large sale for that
purpose, and it is not too much to
say that the product of the American
factory has been the pabulum of mill
lions of Asiatics."
