VERSAILLES IN THE PUSH.
Western Union Cut us Out but
Bell Telephone and Postal
Telegraph Ring US I'm.

The closing OF the Western Union
telegraph Office in Versailles last week
has resulted in something good for our
people, after all. Last Monday Joseph
Lincoln, manager Of the Ball Tele-
phone System at Sedalia, accompanied
Telegraph station at Upton. and
Charles Clark manager Of the Telephone
Exchange a. Upton, came here and
were in conference during tho day
with John II. B~rokmeyer. owner Of
the Versailles Telephone System, re.
lative to giving our people the ad.
vantage OF complete communication
with the outside world in the shape OF
telephone connection and postal tele-
graph service.
The conference resulted in contracts
being made whereby the long distance
telephone cable will at nee be attached
TO the central Office In this city and
customers Of tho Versailles Telephone
Exchange will have accurate facilities
FOR reaching $4,000 different cities and
towns throughout the country by
means OF their residence phones.
Sedalia is one Of the main stations
Of the Postal Telegraph Co. which
operates in connection with the Bell.
and messages from here will be trans
mitted via Upton TO that point and
sent direct until such time az the cable
can be put into Versailles Mr.. brok.
meyer accompanied Manager Lincoln
to Sedalia Tuesday where the contracts
were duly signed and arrangements
fully completed, This gives our people
better facilities for reaching all points
than they ever had before. and we are
independent of the Western Union,
who cut us out entirely. The Bell
people guarantee to keep ua posted on
all public matters, and will keep tab
on the location of incoming and out
going trains.
With the Bell and Postal Telegraph
service here a circuit o. the world can
be made inside 60 twelve minutes,
while the time Of resolving an answer
from any one Of the $4,000 cities
reached by these ny.teins is not TO ex.
coed eight minutes, or less, II the
parties 'phoned hold phone numbers
Mr.. Brokmeyer deserves great credit
for the prompt enterprise he has exer.
cised in this matter, and our people
may congratulate themselves upon tho
happy turn Of affairs In their ia vor.
This also does away with the long
distance station which has heretofore
been located at Spidei's restaurant, and
those who have phones in their resi-.
dences will be able to seeure oornmun.
ication in any part OF the country
without leaving their homes.

yet there were many or the ground too
much imbued with Ath Of July frolic
and fun to hear him.
There was little use for Miss Annie

powers In reading the Declaration Of
Independence; IL would probably hive
been better 70 have had the document
printed in circular form and distributed
70 that the vast crowd could put il In

The people did not appear to be there
TO obtain solid information-but for q
day out and plenty OF fun.

pgTRIFIED FORCE OF GRAVITY
Colorado Guides Account of a Mar vicious Occurrence i'm His
 Experience.

A party of tourists from the east, including Prof. Marcus c. S. Noble, of the North Carolina university, were making an explora tiop through a DOT tion of Colorado renowned for it's evil dences of petrifaction, says the New York Mail and Express. On the noun tain sides and in the valleys there were many petrifed trees, and in spots petrified animals had been dug up out of the earth by scientists. Prof. Noble hired a well-known guide to take the party for a stroll into the midst of the region.
 This guide, whose reputat ton for word painting was as yet unknown to the tourists, took every opportunity to boast of the wonderful climatic condi- tions, asserting that nothing was safe from the rasages of the petrifying at mosphere more than a few hours. They arrived at little mountain The guide pointed to a projecting powder
 Right thar" he said, pointing to the spot dramtically, "wuz the wust case O peterfactiop what ever came into my view. There wuz hunter, lookin' for bears. He happened to stop right thar, an big eagle flew right over his head He raised his gun to shoot, be golly. but jes' as he wuz takin' aim a. wave O peterfaction struck him. It struck the eagle. too, an the gun. All of them wuz peterfied squar in a jiffy. Am the eagle styed jes' where he wuz ia the air"
 "How was that?" inquired Prof. Noble. "The force of gravity should have brought the bird to the ground. ?
 ''The force of gravity" repeated the guide contemptuously. Be golly, it wuz peterfied along with the rest of S +-t-.

Among all the beverages served at five o'clock tea, or to the invalid. frothed chocolate undoubtedly stands first in popularity, Would you make it just right? Try this way of doing: Cook in clean granite basin until smooth and shiny two squares of choc- olate, two ablespoonfuls of sugar, one level tablespoonful of salt and two tablespoonfuls of hot water or milk. Then add gradually, stirring all the time, a scant quart and half of warmed milk. When smooth and bubbly, whip lightly with Dover egg beater. Flavor with cinnamon extract or half teaspoonful of vanilla. Have ready a half pint of cream whipped to 8 froth, put tablespoonful in the bot tom of each cup and pour the hot chocolate over it. Do not be afraid of cooking too long before adding the milk, as long cooking will prevent its settling in the cups or becoming greasy. Some good cooks prefer to use & chocolate "muddler" in place of the egg beater, thinking the orange imparts a pleasant flavor, Cinnamon is the old Mexican flavor used with chocolate,

An American Tropical Laboratory.
 One of the characteristics of mod ern scientific progress Is the estab- Hshment of laboratories and observa- tories of various kinds at points where phenomena of great interest can best be studied, although such points may be remote from centers of human population and from ordi- nary lines of travel. Just now an ef- fort is making to esta blish scien- tific station at the Tortugns Islands near the coast of Florida A consid- erable number of naturalists have expressed interest in the scheme. Some think it would be an excellent point from which to observe the mi grafton of bird& others that bio- logical laboratory established there @ould give rich results. It is pointed out that we now know more of the life of the Red sea than we do of that of the Caribbean sea and the gulf of Mexico, lying almost at our doors.
