are a business necessity now. We
have TO keep them in order to accom-
modate the trade. Our patrons have
occasion TO call us up sometimes, and
they don't do it for fun, either. They
want to talk about some business mat
tiers, or TO get information which we
are in position to furnish, or they call
for some other reason of a strictly BUSH
ness nature. But along comes the tele.
phone bug. He wedges himself into
the box, shoves the receiver into his
ear, and begins TO lombard the trans
mitter with a long string of loud and
useless Verbosity- He will stand there
and jabber until the wire actually
sways with his meaningless utterances.
/ suppose he never would quit unless
the man at the other end Of the wire
hung up the receiver. He seems to love
the thing He seems to delight in the
sound of his own voice, and it never
occurs to him that other people might
want to use the telephone for a more
serious and more important purpose
He rather inclines to the idea that the
telephone was invented for his excIu-
SiVe use. and that the wires would
actually coil up in a mute sort of pro-
test against the chatter of any other
mans voice. The telephone bug is a
fierce proposition, and if he doesn't get
the medal, he at least deserves honor

[. F. HARR COMES NEAR BEING KILLED BY
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF A REVOLVER

Lawrence F. Harr, the well known
cigar dealer, came very near being killed
as a result of a revolver episode in HIS
cigar store yesterday afternoon. He ae-
cidentally dropped the loaded weapon
from his safe and his call was just a
little bit closer than he ever wants to
experience again.
Mr.. Harr had taken charge of the
Ouray delegation of Elks since its ar
rival and yesterday one of the delegates
left a .45-calibre revolver with the cigar
man TO be taken care of. Mr. Harr
placed the gun in the safe and later he
returned TO the safe to get some change
for a bin handed him by customer
As he stopped and opened the iron door
the revolver fell 10 the floor and, strik-
ing on the hammer exploded. The bull
let passed under Mr.. Harris chin and
crashed through a money box, filling II
with splinters. 1t then imbedded itself
In another money box containing dia-
monds and watches valued at $1,0Oo, be-
longing TO the Ouray Elks- In some way
the bullet fastened the box so that all
efforts to open il have proved unavailing
Mr.. Harr was leaning so closely over
the gun that the conclusion knocked
him over and the crowd thought for a
moment that he had been killed. He re-
covered from the shock quickly though.
and when he was satisfied that he was
all right he passed around the cigars
and put the gun where ii wouldn't be en-
countered again, first seeing that il was
unloaded
