ON THE CLERK.

Office Boy Plays Joke on the Telephone
 Flirt.
 There is a true and veraeious ae- count of the adventure which befell the clerk of a well-known hotel in Mil- waukee few evenings ago, says the Sentinel This clerk being possessed of more personal attractiyeness than falls to the lot of the average man, has been somewhat spoiled by the ad- miration which has been bestowed upon him by many women of varying beauty, until he has come to consider himself irresistible.
 Recently he became enamored of a young woman who presided at the tell ephone switchboard of one of the big business establishments of the city. He had never seen her, but from call ing her mp to make necessary business inquiries he has gradually adopted the habit of carrying on an extended con- versation of the quality familiarly known as 'josh." ," Now, the young woman in question, although willing enough to jolly the young man to an unlimited extent over the phone, has enough admirers, to say nothing of certain decided ideas about good form, inherited from Puritan moth- CT, tO make her decline the many of- fers of theater tickets and suppers which the hotel clerk has proffered in the hope of meeting the girl who has so charmed him with her voice.
 Now, the office boy ill the establish ment where the pretty girl rules the switchboard, is a red-headed Irish lad with more deyiltry to the square inch than falls to the lot of most young- sters. He is a devoted admirer of the pretty telephone girl, and enjoys her confidence. He has heard of the enamored hotel clerk, and has often been allowed 10 listen to the conyer- eations between them.
 The other day the telephone girl did not come to work and the office boy was detailed to take her place. At five o'clock the clerk called up, as usual, and the office boy saw his opportunity Adopting d voice as nearly like the girls as possibIe-and he is a clever mimic-he carried on long conversation with the young man, and after much coy deliberation, consented to meet the young man at six O clock and go to supper with him. That there should be no mistake, he asked him to wear an immense red rose in his buttonhole, and promised 10 wear a similar blossom for identi- tication. The happy clerk assented 10 this not unusual proposition, and fur ther agreed to come up to the third floor where the switchboard Is located and call for the young woman. Then the office boy confided his plans 10 the clerks in the office, who arranged a little scene.
 When the hotel clerk, arrayed in his best and sporting a beautiful crimson rose, entered the door, there, drawn up in line, were two dozen young men with mirthful faces, while coyly standing near the door was the office boy with the biggestAmerican beauty rose, which the combined eontribu- tions of the clerks purchased. The ho- tel clerk fled, but the story pursued him.

FILTRATION.
In Fact the Young Man Accused Didn't
 Know It Was Going On.

It is not often that a young woman is mistaken when she thinks man IS trying to flirt with her, but it does happen occasionally. An illustration is reported in the case of a pretty serv- ant girl at Germantown, Pa. Across the street lives young man who is an enthusiastic amateur photogTa- pher. For some time the servant girl has been imbued with the idea that the young man trying to firt with her, but her mistress pooh-poohed the idea. But he puts up states in the window" insisted the girl, "and al though 1 can't make out the writing on them. I'm sure they are messages to me" In order to convince hermis- tress of the truth of this she called her attention one day last week to the young man putting what appeared to be school slate in the window op, posite A pair of opera glasses was brought into play, and then it was seen that what appeared to be a slate was really frame containing mega, tives.

Of mouth. The record is made on a steel
strip in a way that may be described as
follows:
A strip Of steel is kept moving rapidly
between the poles of an electro magnet.
When the person speaking at the other
end Of the wire directs his voice into this
instrument a permanent record Of the
sounds made is imprinted on the steel
strip in the shape of a continuous series
Of transverse lines that vary in strength
in accordance with the spoken words.
When 1t Is desired to make the strip
give up it's message a telephone receiver
is attached to the electro magnet, and the
marked band of metal is again started or
Its course. The message delivered by the
person at the other end Of the telephone
and recorded on the strip is Their. repeated
exactly as delivered to the electro-lna e.
net
The invention has been patented, but II
does not yet appear to what commercial
use 1t can be put BY 1t messages may
be received automatically and stored up
until the time comes for their transmits
sion. This might prove useful where the
person for whom the message is intended
cannot be found Immediately. A speech
could be made by telephone and stored for
use at any time. BY this means an orator
could be heard in half dozen different
cities the Same night. All he would have
to do would be to telephone his grafton to
the town in which he was announced to
speak and the message, on It's steel strips,
could be transmitted to the audience by
way of the graphophone.

n Feb Types of Girl
Bachelors.

JUSTICE of the supreme
| A court has passed upon the
"a question Of how much 1t
TA costs a society girl to live.
He puts the annual amount
at $4,000 For this sum it
is computed that she can have a home
in town, can spend $500 a year on gowns,
can keep two horses and carriages, can
entertain, and can have a box at the
opera.
Nine thousand year might seem like
an extravagant allowance for one I'M
married girl, but it must be remembered
that it provides for the maintenance Of
several persons besides the girl An
eighteen-year-old girl will naturally
entertain literally If she has a town
house, and as modern entertainment is
expensive it will be seen that the esti-
mate is, after all, not expensive.
This is one type of girl bachelor peculiar
to the times She represents the most
sought after of young women; the heiress
who has come into a fortune which is
hers to do with as. she pleases.
This species of girl bachelor holds or
from matrimony as she does from So
ciety. She is clever enough to recognize
the fact that her money, will be her most
dangerous charm. She will grow wary Of
attentions from suitors without money
by one Of whom, however, she is very
frequently carried by storm.
Sometimes he triumphs, especially if he
IS proficient outdoor man-good at golf
at skating, or at driving. If he commands
any special talent he will appeal to an
other older type of girl. The propinquity
afforded by the driving lesson, the COM
partnership Of the riding teacher through
shady lanes and level roads often leads
to the capitulation Of the rich girl
bachelor
Coming next in Importance from a Pc
cuniary standpoint is the girl bachelor OF
means and independence of her own
earning. She may be briefly classed as
the successful professional woman who
has prospered so that she need not cur
tail her living expenses.
The younger and more popular Of the
women of the stage are first on the list.
Many of them are very rich and have
their town and country houses

fers country life during the weeks when
she IS not playing. and has her home IN
some inaccessible mountain place. Her
expenses always remain high, for very
lew OI IHe drI-SlIIeO nave the talent for
counting their cents. Her annual account
will come very close to that of the So
ciety girl bachelor.
The society girl bachelor in trade who
has established herself in a fashionable
thoroughfare. where big prices may be
charged, lives, as a rule, in very good
style. Frequently her venture into trade
has been made with an idea of adding to
an income of which she is already pos
sessed. but which is insufficient to meet
the expenses Of her manner of living
While she is rarely very prosperous. her
domestic instincts will assert themselves
early in her experience. She will desert
her boarding house for home. She gath
ers around her secondhand mahoganies
with brass handles. rugs. divans cush-
ions and Japanese umbrellas that have
become the distinctive furnishings for
the girl bachelors fiat.

LUFF," the WOru anu
- act, is as old as the
- hills. And as long
- as there continues to
be such a thing as inequality OF
strength with both men and
beasts, the effects of bluff will
be seen in every department of
nature.
The story of the remarkable
instinct of "blufing," which is
the property of so many spe-
cies of birds, beasts and fishes,
which are familiar enough to
most Of us, but Of whose real
life we are strangely ignorant,
will strike a particularly re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of
those who have noticed a cor
responding tendency in the hui
man family.
Mr.. ]. Guy Wilson is we'll
known by his several works on
naturalistic subjects. His arti-
Gle, which follows, will be par
ticularly interesting for it's
unique conception and simple
expression.
(By J. Guy Wilson,
'Bluffing'' expresses more precisely and
forcibly than anything else the idea of
Disgusting unconfessed weakness by a
bold and defiant attitude-the legitimate
attempt at deception in self-defense which
Is part Of the armament Of every Great
ure.
1t Is nothing else than an attempt to
make your antagonist believe you bigger
or stronger than you are or, perhaps,
than he is; and thus 1t becomes the nat
ural tactics of the weak against the
strong.
Most men and all women are buffers,
and every animal is an adept at the art
within its own range and experience.
Take, for instance, the caterpiller Of a
sphinx moth-a slow, fat. green worm,
crawling sluggishly about the bushes in
plain view of every insect hunter.
1t has no armor, no spines, no poison, no
ability to defend itself whatever, but the
instant anything approaches it rears up
and wags its horned head and looks 80
formidable that almost nothing has the
temerity to attack it. This Is indeed a.
bluff.
Take the case Of the braggert the hog
nosed snake. He can really harm nothing
larger than mouse or fiedgling sparrow,
and he lives mainly on ground beetles
and worms, yet he has to be on his guard
against hawks and various other serpent
eaters, in respect to all of which he is
full of cowardly fear.
But he Is so slow that he cannot run;
he can WELD no poison stillettos as do
the rattlesnake and copperhead, and
must rely entirely upon inspiring terror
So he swells out his head and neck to
twice their size by expanding his ribs
opens a great triangular mouth, blows
and Kisses, and makes believe that he Is
the vilest sort Of viper--and, as a rule
succeeds enough to be left alone
If you 'call his bluff he viii fall linn
