Telephone Change.

A change in the ownership of the
Audubon County Telephone Com
pany was made Tuesday, when Ben
Simpson of the Still Side stock farm
east of Brayton, purchased the Hooker
shares in the company. LATE Simp-
son purchased good share of the
stock not long ago and the remaining
purchase of his father makes them the
controlling power. Mr.. Simpson
brings to the company not only good
financial backing, but good hard bust
ness sense and ability. He has con-
Quoted his affairs of life in a good
business way and will be able to so
continue this. Mr.. Hooker has been
the controlling genius and business
manager in this from the first. Start
ing with but few phones with an
automatic switch he has increased it
and spread out until it is one of the
best in the state. The new firm ex-
pect to continue it along the same
broad business principles and will
doubtless succeed.

Hindoo Wftchcraft.

All Hindoos believe in witchcraft,
and, in strange contrast to the old be-
levers in witchery, they believe that
young and pretty maidens are the chief
actors in such uncanny mummery. If
crops are blighted or if general sick
ness prevails they write the names of
all the young women of the vicinity
on separate tree branches and then i'm
merse the stems of the twigs for -four
hours and a half III solution of holy
water and aromatic herbs. If one OF
more of the twigs wither during the
specified time the Young woman whose
name or names are attached thereto is
Immediately put to death. Thus the
influence of the witch is counteracted
the crops saved and health restored.

When Dr. John Cairns went from
Scotland to Ireland for rest and travel
in 1864 he was at once delighted by
discovering from the guides who
showed him about that most of the
landed gentry We're Sunday folks"
That's fine CASTLE" he would say
pointing to big house set like crown
on some rocky hill.
''Yis, sorr' said his guide "'Tis Sill

AT last Dr. Cairns grew curious.

''Well, sorr, it do be a mon thot has
SO many writs out ag'in him for deb

The Apeists In Society.

To ape anything is sign of vacuity
Of mind; to ape the follies Of those
above you IS one of the most offensive
forms of vulgarity Yet we see the fol-
lies of the uppermost classes steadily
initiated all down the different sets Of
society, and the popularity Of every
book dealing with the peerage is a
proof, if one were needed, of what alb
sorbing interest our failings are to the
public. There is nothing we will not
write upon to crafty this vulgar curl
osity; nothing is in too bad taste if by
its publication we can raise little of
the "needful.' Our scandals, our in
trigues, our inane conversation, our
bills and even our menus are recorded
for the benefit of public which, while
processing to be Mortified, greedily
cries for more.-A Countess in London
