The Chicago & Northwestern R'y
announces that much interest is being
evidenced throughout the west in
Chlcago's celebration of the Tooth ami
versary Of that city's settlement in
1903. The celebration will take place
from September Goth to October 1st,
next, with program that includes a
series of commemorative events that
possess many special features of inter
est. A great naval display will be a
part of the program, together with re-
gattas and the spectacular arrival in
canoes, by way of the lake, of 400 In
dams, the descendants of tribes for
merly occupying this site, will estab-
ish village around reproduction OF
old Fort Dearborn, on the lake front.
Chicago's Centennial Jubilee, to be
given this fall, is beginning to attract
attention throughout the Western
states. From September 26 to October
l, the city will be the scene of a series
of municipal fetes such as have been
equaled only in the days of the
Romans.
Two Of the most popular features on
the program will be the military parade
for President Roosevelt, and vivid
reproduction of the burning of Chicago.
The parade will include United
States troops from the forts of the
West, the State militia, crack regi-
ments from different parts of the
country, and other uniformed or
CARNATIONS.
In the mimic confa grafton, five
hundred tons of Roman fire will be
ignited simultaneously "a the tops
of the taller buildings within the area
burned by the great fire of 1871. The
skyscrapers will be especial vantage
grounds for the display, and from the
DeKoven street home of the famous
Mrs. O'Leary, where the great fire
started, there will be a big flight of
bombs.
In one of the parks there will
be reproduction of Fort Dearborn,
built in 1903. This was the first white
mans building in the city, and it is to
commemorate it's construction that
the Jubilee is held Four hundred
Indians, descendants Of the tribes
that once lived in Chicago, will hold
camp about the fort and will make a
daily attack on it, The structure also
will be the scene of a reunion of the
scattered pioneers of the city.
An industrial parade at night, brill
iantly illuminated and containing
many handsome floats, will be another
spectacle. There also will be superb
fireworks, automobile races, swimming
races and water polo contests in which
the participants, will be the famous
athletes of the country, yachting
races in which the crack boats of the
lakes will fight for valuable cups, and
many other open-air events to which
all Chicago and the surrounding
country will be hidden.
The Chicago & Northwestern R'y,
the pioneer line west and northwest,
reaches Chicago from all points west.

TELEPHONE GIRLS TRAINING.
Work That Demands Good Ears and

But a switchboard does not make an
exchange. Central without the tele-
phone girl would be more void than
Hamlet without Ophelia. Yet she be-
longs to a more or less definite type, says
the Booklovers' Magazine. No nervous
girl need apply at a telephone exchange.
The strain and stress of the eight hours
intense, concentrated attention to the
demands Of the switchboard call for
GOODNESS and poise.
The girl who has the telephone bee
buzzing within her bonnet seeks the gen
eral manager, and isfirst put through a
searching test for general htness-sight
and hearing, wideawakeness, deport-
ment, II satisfactory she is turned over
for training to the operating inspector.
For the first week she does nothing but
attach her headphOne to an experienced
operators position and listen. 1t takes
that time to learn to distinguish the
dozen and one confusing sounds that
crowd into her receiver, The next two
weeks she puts her, observation in prac-
tice, with an experienced operator al
ways at her elbow. BY the end Of the
third week the tracks have been beaten
out in her brain cells by incessant use.
and connections are made automatically.
The lot Of the full-fedged telephone
girl is by no means an ~unenviable one.
Her work demands un1agging~ attention,
but custom eases the strain. The great
telephone companies are in the forefront
Of the modern movement for improved
working conditions. Every girl is given
a half-hour intermission morning and
afternoon to lounge in the restroom and
read Oh gossip as she will. For the rare
cases Of nervous collapse hospital room
is provided, under a m~atron's care.
Moreover, there is q dining-room, where
a very substantial lunch is furnished the

cOW-M1LK1NG SNAKES.
Convincing Evidence THAT The Rep
tiles Do Really Rob h
Animals.

There may not be anything in the
old story about snakes milking cows"
said a man who used to live in the
country, relates the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, ''but there was
something in it in at least one case
that know of and it came directly un-
der my observation. Up to the time
| have in mind l was very skeptical
about the stories told me about snakes
robbing cows of their milk and keep
ing calves from getting what was com
ing to them. But while l was UP in
Arkansas some years ago / had occa-
sion to see something Of the very thing
doubted. Mind you, / am not telling
you something I did not see with my
W eyes. / want to remain within
the bound of reason and truth in this
matter. I had heard that snakes had a
habit OF milking COWS and that in some
instances calves had been starved to
death on this account. The farmer /
was stopping with had a fine Jersey
COW with her first calf. She was al
lowed to range in the woods. There
was a fine natural pasturage in that
section of the state and all the men in
that part Of the country were in the
habit Of allowing their stock to run
at large. The GOV was giving three
gallons Of milk a day. She was a prize
and her owner was proud of her. Sud
denly she began to show up in the
evening with an empty bag. For
awhile the owner was much puzzled
over the matter and was inclined to.
think that some malicious person was
robbing him Of the cows milk. Final
ly, however, it dawned on him that
the thing might be explained in some
other way, He had heard about the
snake theory, and he came to the o
clusion that a snake was to blame for
the condition of the cows bag when
she came home in the evening. There
was every indication that a snake was
doing the work. We finally reached
the conclusion that a snake was guilty.
No, we never caught the reptile rob-
bling the cow of her milk, but we al
ways felt reasonably certain that her
bag was being robbed in this a We
put her up where we could watch her
and after that we had no more trou-
bic. She yielded her three gallons of
milk a day as was her wont before the
period Of the mysterious robbery. MY
own view is that snakes will steal the
milk of ows if they get a chance, and
| base the opinion on the case in
point"
