They Are Much Used and Convey
some AmusinE QuestionH
and Replies.

Modern improvements are often sup
posed to advance most rapidly in the
large cities, and II is true that in All
devices that expedite business the COM
mercial energy Of city drives u to ac-
cept the latest and the best. But peo-
n1e in the cities have not mastered the
whole art Of living. Many Of them, IN
deed. might learn from the citizens q
the small town and the village. a
writer in the Outlook says thai a1ter
staying in household IN small town,
where the telephone is used without
stint-without any limit on the num-
Der 81 calls which is imposed on the
subscriber to some large mun1clpai
Telephone companies he feels 'nao
city people miss Q great deal 81 tne
comfort, pleasure and convenience of
the telephone.
"After breakfast my hostess settled
into a comfortable chair beside the
telephone, ordered her groceries, and
then called up her friends, invited them
10 an afternoon tea, and chatted about
club lectures and the servant question.
ssIn the house where was staying
the telephone was not fastened to the
wall but was on long cord SO that It
could be carried to the bedroom A.
this way the woman might summon
fhe police in case Of burglars, and once
when she was too III to get out OF bed
she sent for the doctor BY means OF the
telephone at her side.
II heard, too, some amusing stories
OF servant-girls introduced Tor the 1irst
time to the telephone. Onecook, fresh
from Ireland, stood In awe OF the IN
strument for many weeks, and then
when the bell rang, always hurried to
put on clean apron before she an
swered the call. Evidently she felt that
she was in the presence OF some un-
known person who could see as well as
speak and hear.
"Another servant girl astonished a
dinner party by appearing at the door
OF the dining-room and asking her mis-
tress: is this Mr.. McGinnis' grocery
store?'
asOf course not, Bridget! What do
you mean?'
well, sure, they asked me over the
fillyphone this minute, ma'amr

to use the instrument, and had devel-
oped a pleasant telephone voice The
woman who had called, thinking It
was the mistress, and not troubling to
call her by name, asked her cordially
10 come to meeting of the Colonial

"Another woman called up a friend
over the telephone, but could not make
her friend understand her name.

to my card-party on Friday
"She could feel her friend at the
other end Of the wire draw herself up
with dignity as she answered that she
could not come. Then the woman who
was to give the party realized what she
had asked, and promptly wrote a note.
Her friend came to the party, and they
had a good laugh over the matter"

UNDERGROUND FARO BANK.
subterranean Monte Carlo That Was
Run In a Montana Mining
Shaft.

There is mining shaft not far
from the original town site Of Butte
that has been used for purposes 9TH
er than mining, If all Of the reports
are true. This wonderful shaft Is
300 feet deep, and has not been used
as means of hosting ore or waste
since 1893, but there has been a fire
in the boilers and the cage has made
frequent trips from the 100-foot
level to the top, and on each trip a
number Of men have ridden in the
cage. The men were not mining, and
the boilers were not kept hot for the
purpose of making steam with which
to run the engine, so that it might do
it's share toward developing the great
mineral resources of this great min
ing district. The steam was used to
run the cage SO that the men who
had occasion to visit the 100-foot
level might make trips as often as
they pleased, says the Anaconda
Standard.
1t all came about in this way:
When the law prohibiting gambling
was in full force in this city year
ago, the gambling spirit ran high
and recllessly over the city. An en-
terprising man opened gambling
place in wide chamber on the 100
foot level not far from the shaft re-
ferred to. In this underground room
were faro tables, a roulette wheel,
and crap game. Poker was played
in back rooms about town.
The story goes that the enterpris-
ing gambler LEASED the mine," EN-
ployed competent hoisting engineer,
and sswent to work. developing the
property, and it is said confidently
that the man made the mine pay a
larhe dividend every month, until the
gal1 began to be recognized as
good ings for somebody up town.
Then the subterranean Monte Carlo
went ont of existence. The faro
tables. being old and battered, were
not taken out of the mine, and the
roulette wheel, after being used for
three months in a damp place, warped
and twisted out of shape after being
exposed to the light of day, and it
was sent to the scrap heap. The
crap table and the dice are still in
| the mine, it is said, and that is the
story of the rich mine that was
worked by gambler last year

TALK TO THEMSELVES.
Men who Have been overworled Are
Much Given TO Audible
Murmuring.

sOne of the curious signs of New
Yorks absorption in its money task
is the number of men you hear talk
ing to themselves, oblivious to their
immediate surroundings" said a
travelling man at the Southern the
other evening, according to an ex-
change of that city.
IF one could catch the meaning
of these mutterings, one would hear,
fancy, the real tragedy of the city.
Stand for few minutes on lower
Broadway and you can see scores OF
men whose lips are moving in mum
bled speech as they walk hurriedly,
with eyes fixed on the ground, dodg-
ing through the throng with some
strange guiding instinct in their
feet.
"Many of them are well dressed,
but most are bit shabby, and have
the scars of lost battle on their
tired countenances. They are the
crippled Of the long campaign for
wealth, who are now stragglers in
the rear, led on by hope and memory
to get into the line for one more
fight. They make sorry spectacle
when you stop to scrutinize them a
little.
"Then there are others you will
find around the stock tickers in
cafes, hotels and other public places
The ticker seems a running accom-
paniment to their dreams; they mur.
muir familiar words of the stock
mart; they are back again in the
whirl of things where fortunes rise
and fall like battle ags. To me these
are the most pathetic figures in this
city of contrasts.
'sThere is half humorous element
too. One night was hurrying home
in the rain. The murk Of the storm
was thick upon the streets. and few
