TELEGRAPH POLE INDUSTRY.
Millions of Forest Trees Are Used to
support the Wires OF the
Various Lines.

Between Chicago and Denver, a
distance of 1,500 miles, along one line
of railway, there are 31,500 telegraph
poles, says Arboriculture. They are
set 176 feet apart, or 30 to a mile. As
there are considerable more than o.
100000 miles of steam railway in the
United States, increasing in mileage
each year, and many roads have double
lines of poles to accommodate the great
number of wires required to transact
the telegraphic business of the coun-
try, there are 100000 poles in use on
railway lines.
When to this is added the poles used
by trolley lines and by telegraph and
telephone companies we find an aggre-
gate of 15,OOO,0O0 poles in use. If these
should be replaced at once it would re-
quire 25O,000 fat cars to transport
them; 5000 locomotives would be neces-
sary to haul the trains, which if con-
tinuous would reach 1,750 miles. If the
poles were placed end to end they
would reach more than three times
around the earth at the equator.

rode over, bringing their senoritas on
their cayuses behind them. There was
nothing special doing all night. About
two a. m. Big Abe Hall, proprietor of
the only respectable faro joint in Alkali

for a pardner. Abe had been taking
too much bottled comfort and when he
jerked Choctaw Kate away from Dan
Weimer and backed off and pulled"
Big Abe, being some doped, fumbled his
gun, and Dams lead pill went lookin'

OLD BEAUX ARE DELIGHTED.
One Woman Who Has Not RcIegated
Their Virtues to the Musty
Garret.

AS rule when a woman gets mar
ried she tries to pluck from her re-
membrance all thoughts of those who
once paid court to her. Yet she can
have kindly feeling for them with
out in the slightest degree being un-
true to the man who finally won her,
says the Chicago Chronicle.

man who is bound to be cheerful.
They comfort me and make me for
get unpleasantnesses An old beau is
very nice if he's at all presentable.
My husband says hateful things to the
effect that I'm ruinously eXtravagant,
always wanting things, and he inti-
mates that only an angel of his magni-
tude could manage to get along with
me at all. Not so my old beaux. They
say he's the luchiest of men and inti-
mate that they would have been bet
ter men had Providence been thus kind
to them. Even the married ones aren't
so bad. When their wives sue for di-
vorce or their babies get the measles
they look volumes which seem to say
that all would have been uIHerent had
not an undeserving one borne off the
prize. These unsolicited testimonials
are as stimulating to me as old wine.
1t isn't the slightest use to repeat
them to my husband, however. He
simply reminds me that women are so
easy that they're tiresome and that
those 'nincompoops' don't have to pay
the bills"

Public Has Paid the Cost.

In reviewing its business of the past
year Lewis A. Riley, president OF the
Lehigh Coal & Navigation Co., oper-
ating the colleries in the Panther
Creek Valley, says that his company
had by January of this year nearly
recouped its losses caused by the last
strike. He also says that the public
has paid the cost of the suspension.
After referring to the recoup OF the
company's strike losses President Ri
ley says:
"As consequence the added busi-
ness that is coming to us this year,
and that we expect also next year,
will leave the company substantial
gamer, for the fact of the anthracite
strike of 1909. During the grogress
ofthe strike we stated that the compa.
nies were fighting the battle for the
public. The public however, sided
with the miners, AMI have been paying
the losses of the strike ever since.
awe have been able to recoup our
selves SO early because of the so cents
advance in coal, in which we followed
the Reading, and which is now per
manency with us. No anthracite
road, OF course, can be expected to
go back to old prices after the report
of the Anthracite Commission.
"Whlle the company makes it a
practice to keep its figures for the an
nual report, the fact that we have
already earnings sufficient to pay both
dividends for the present fiscal year
indicates the satisfactory business
that we are doing"

EASILY UNDERSTOOD.
derstnndnble to Deaf Mutes as
spoken Words to Hearers.

"Iou need not think you are always
telephoning in secrecy" said a teacher
in the deaf mute college in this city,
relates the Washington Star, "when
you go in a booth and close the double
doors after you, as see people doing
every day. | notice these people in
their retreats in which they think
their words are drowned from the
outer world, talking often while they
look on the people outside of the glass
doors.
"Now, do you know" he continued,
that every word that is so spoken is
understood by a deaf mute whenever
he sees what is going on under such
conditions? That is fact The deaf
mute becomes so proficient in learn
ing to read the language of the lips
that the motion is as expressive to
him as is the sound of the human voice
to other people. The next time you
have secret to impart to some friend
over a telephone in a public booth
where people are watching you you
should be careful to speak directly in
the mouthpiece of the phone so that
your secret be not given away to some
who happen to understand the Ian
guage of the lips"
