Here the empirical Helen again came to
the rescue. She seized the purse from her
friend and paid the agent with deliberate
hands and then led the way out the gates
TO the train, just ready to pull out.
XXX
The most vicious assault that has been
committed upon a telephone lately was
made by a Greenfield man not long ago.
This Democrat from the Democratic county
made such fierce attack upon the little
box on the wall that his wife and friends
for the time being thought him crazy. For
many years he has been loyal, peace
abiding patron of the telephone company,
but lately he has been rushed with business
and he considered the time spent at the
telephone not only time wasted but money
lost. OF late the telephone girl has been
with whom he wished to talk. 1t was not
her fault, but simply little run of hard
luck This loyal Democrat had been grow
ing more and more impatient. An antipathy
for the telephone developed within him. He
got the idea that he not getting his
moneys worth. He declared he could
hardly hear word over the ''old box" The
other day he was In hurry. He had been
In hurry all Gay ana now ne was III a
hurry to talk to a man OH important BUSH
ness. 1t took him over five minutes to get
the man at the phone and when he began
to talk the party at the other end could not
understand a word he said. To say that
he grew impatient is expressing ii in the
weakest English. He lost his temper and
dealt the telephone box resounding blow
with his fist. Possibly it hurt his fist more
than 1t did the box. for he hurried out into
The backyard and seized the ak. He has
tened back into the house and with a true
woodman's swing, sunk the blade of the ak
deep into the polished wood Of the tele-
phone box. He did not stop with one blow.
out literally made kindling wood of the
telephone company's woodward. When he
had finished and nothing remained on the
wall but the bent and twisted wires, he
gathered up the splinters and piled them
assiduously behind the house. He swore he
would never have another telephone on his
property as long he lived.
After few days when his rage cooled off
somewhat he began to miss the convenience
of telephone. His family missed it, too
especially his son, who was high" among
the ladies. They began their persuasive
arguments ana at the end of week a shin
ing new phone was put in the place of the
vanquished one. 1t has the reputation of
being the best telephone in the town.

L. T. Marshall of London. England, was
for years connected with the Bank of Eng

They tell curious story as TO the man.
ner In which a certain firm in Manchester
became possessed of the government con-
tract to furnish shovels for use in the
army, said Mr.. Marshall to q Star man.
1T originated during the battle of Water
loo. AT the time the Duke of Wellington
was seated upon horse watching the
military operations from distance he be-
came aware that there was a young man
mounted on black horse few feet away
from him. The duke was glancing around
visible. He finally rode over to the stran-
ger and asked him who he was and what
he wanted. The young man replied that
his name was Jones and he represented a
certain hardware firm and hearing that a
battle was imminent had decided to come
over and the fun.
" DO you desire to render England serv-
Ice and carry an order for mile for me?'
asked Wellington.
Certainly, answered Jones' 1T makes

had exhibited great bravery in riding across
the battlefield, but did not see him.

duke inquired kindly to his later sue
cess. Jones informed him that he had just
received a promotion and was a partner
in the firm for which he worked and hear
ing that contract was to be let for iron
shovels and spades for Use in the military
operations, he thought that the duke might
reciprocate his favor by assisting him in
getting the contract. Wellington smiled
and said that he would be greatly pleased
to do all in his power to assist him and in
few weeks the firm was notified that it's
offer considered the best, and that the
army shovels for the next five years would
come from it's factories"

sea are high naturally they would be all
right when the waters rose, but where they
are low, artificial shores would have TO be
constructed. otherwise the Azov might only
be increased I'm area instead OF being deep
ened. 1t is a big undertaking; but the Rus
sian government is seriously considering the
work, and detailed plans have been pre-
pared.
Among great schemes may be included the
proposition of the Hon. Rollo Russell,
member OF the British Parliament, who advo-

times to put out the fires of Vesuvius by let

the level of the Atlantic the flooding of il
would create a more than four times as
big as the Mediterranean; but as the Sahara
is composed OF elevated piateaus, mountain
ranges and depressions, only a part would
be covered with water when the waves of
the ocean were let in, and the new sea thus
formed would be an irregular body of water
probably of about the same size as the
Mediterranean. Great commercial cities
would at once spring up its shores and
trade and civilization strike at once to the
heart of Africa. The Sea of Sahara may
never become reality, but ia any event ii
is gigantic and pleasing dream.
The Russians propose, not TO make a new
sea, but TO improve an old one. The Sea of
Azov, which lies back of the Crimea, is a
body of water 220 miles long and 50 miles
wide. 1t opens into the Baltic sea, and would
be an important center of trade were IL not
for the fact that ii is so extremely shallow
that no ocean-going steamer can enter 1T.
Even small boats have difficulty in navigat-
ing its waters. Now the Russian govern
ment proposes TO bring wealth and business
to the shores of the Sea of Azov by building
a dam across the strait by which il COM
municates with the Black sea of AZ0v, let
ting the rivers which empty into the shallow
body of water fill it up to a depth which
shall make il practicable for large steamers.
Ii is thought that heavy dam about two

taking in ocean steamers, would accomplish

A Song Against Love.

There is thing in the world that has been since
the world began:
The hatred OF for woman, the hatred of
woman for man.
When shall this thing be ended? When love
ends, hatred ends.
For love is a chain between foes. and love is a
sword between friends.
Shall there never be love without hatred? Not
since the world began
Until man teach honor TO woman and woman
teach pity TO man.
o that a man might live his life for a little tide
Without this rage in his heart, and without this
foe at his sidei
He could and sleep and be merry and forget,
he could live well enough
Were ii not for this thing that remembers and
hates, and that hurts and is love.
But peace has not been in the world since love
and the world began,
For the man remembers the woman, and the
woman remembers the man.

There are many gigantic schemes in the
world to-day which are worthy and lineal
successors of the plan for building the Tower
of Babel. Yet in age when many WON
ders have been accomplished it would be I'M

French engineers have declared that Ii is
perfectly feasible to convert the desert of
Sahara into vast lake, thus opening to
commerce great regions of the interior of
Africa which can now only be reached by
long, tedious and dangerous caravan jour-
neys. They say that a large proportion of
the desert lies below the level of the Allan

waters of the ocean the great change could
be affected easily and at cost which would
be small compared to the benefits which
would accrue. If the whole desert lay below

SuGGeSfiOn

Thin woolens will continue to be pop
ular throughout the fall, several pretty
weaves in black having already arrived
from over the sea.
Box-plaited skirts continue fashion,
able whether made with a yoke or not.
They may be cut in one piece If wide
material is employed, and when this is
done the seam can easily be thrown
under one of the back plaits, very
clever trick.
AS a rule ii is a mistake to array
young girls in trained skirts. The short
round effects, modelled after the styles
of 1880, are not only far more youthful,
but quite as pleasing. These are cut of
equal length all around, the slightest
dip at any one point being considered
fault against both style and taste.
A clever shirtwaist suit seen recently
was made from table centerpiece of
Mexican drawnwork and bleached Irish
linen to match. Two of the corners,
together with small plaits Of the plain
linen, formed a skirt yoke. while the
remaining corners were similarly en-
ployed In a yoke for the bodice. The
skirt was box-plaited.
A clever device in the way OF a cor
set cover is among the novelties shown
for the woman of excessive avoirdupois.
This new article of lingerie is known as
La Gresque and enables a stout woman
TO wear the fashionable low bust cor
set and yet present the trim contour
which heretofore has only been posi-
bic through the agency Of a stiff high
bust and consequently old-fashioned
stay.
An interesting story is told regard
ing this same corset cover and its sue
cess abroad. AS is generally known,
the average French woman, always
slight and graceful in youth, begins to
take on flesh before she reaches her
fortieth year, and for this reason
French corsets have continued some
what higher in bust than those of
American production; this, in spite Of
the obviously greater beauty OF short
models. Recently New Yorker in
troduced La Grecque corset covers into
Paris, and 1t Is said that both they and
the low bust American corsets are sell
ing abroad as never before.

An Entertainment.

The next event of our entertainment
season is to be of rather exceptional in
terest. Three young people of first rate
musical talent and education are to visit
us for few hours, assisted by an expe-
rienced and successful elocutionist. Many
travelling concert companies feel that they
have succeeded if q good sized audience
greets them. Whether or not the souls OF
their hearers are filed with greater love
sofmusic when the evening is over, does
mot concern them. They do not expect to
be remembered after the trivial gossip of
the morrow has ceased.
These people have different aim. They
wish to be well remembered. They will
strive to win our hearts with their music
and to convince US that the Ithaca Con-
servatory of Music, where they have
studied, is school worthy of our patron
age. Their teachers have faith in their
ability to accomplish both of these results
and no mere financial success will COM
pensate for failure to do so. The press
reports of their trip so far indicate sue
cess. They should be welcomed cordially
by all our music lovers.
The concert will be given at Carlisle
Fitting School Chapel on Thursday even
ing, February 4, 1904.
