Troubles of a Telephone Man

There is quite a squabble in
telephone circles in this city at
present. There is line running
from the Bell company's Office
out to Dick Kiger's farm several
miles north of town, to which is
connected the lines of a number
Of subscribers. The Bell people
own the poles and claim the wire.
There is also another claimant to
the wire. He is Dick Kiger.
who claims the wire on the
ground that he gave a bonus of
$40 to the Bell company to build
the line to his place. Recently,
however, he claims he made a
bargain with the Inde pendent
telephone company to furnish
the wire if they would put up
the poles, for a line connecting
with their Office. The poles were
raised by the Independent COM
pany, and when ready tor the
wire last Thursday, Mr.. Kfeer
removed the wire IRON the Bell
co,npany's poles and placed it on
the Independent poles, of course
carrying the other Bell subscribers
who seriously objected to the
move, alcng to the Independent
line. 1t is reported that Mr..
Kiger was assisted by he line-
men of the Independent CON-
pany.
When the Bell company heard
of the move, they took a f, rec
of 1inenieu and replaced the wire
on their po.es, and once more
had it operating smoothly and a
guard was placed on the line,
watching it until 10 O'Clock
Sunday night, when he returned
to town. But not to be outdone
Mr.. Kiger again took the wire
off the Bell poles, and when we
went to press last evening it was
reported that Kiger still held
"truups' having the wire rolled
up and in his possession.
The Bell company. however,
see m to have the advantage
in the skirmish from a legal
standpoint, as their written con.
| tract with Mr.. Kiger shows that
he simply donated to them as &
bonus, the $40 which he claim:
was paid for the line. He ha:
also been paving a regular renta

A PEASANTS FEAST.
The Meal to Which Three Artists Were
Invited In Italy.

The three artists were invited by
Fagiola to a feast. They found the
family all gathered in the living
room of a rather superior peasants
house. The floor was of Mother
Earth. Tlicxe were sailed hams and
strings of garlic hanging from the
ceiling. In front of the open hearth
were hand wrought andirons with
little cages at the top in which the
pipkins of food were kept hot. Fagi-
ola made them welcome, and, his
wife having announced that the
polenta was ready, the husband lit
orally laid the board. The guests
! and the family seated themselves,
the children on wooden stools, the
grownup people on rush bottomed
chairs, and Fagiola took a large
board from the corner. With a
knife he scraped off the dried meal
sticking to it out of the door, the
fowls gathering to feed upon the
scrapings. Then he passed his hand
across the board and, finding it
comparatively smooth, laid it upon
the knees Of the company, who were
sitting in a circle. Next he took
from the crane, where it hung over
the fire, a large, three legged iron
pot of polenta (hasty pudding) and
emptied it upon the board. His
wife with a long pudding stick
spread out the mush to the proper
thickness. Then each person staked
out his claim by drawing circle
in the polenta with leaden spoon.
The smallest child, they noticed.
drew the biggest circle. Next Fagi-
ola took from the cage in the and
iron, where it had been keeping
warm, a saucepan filed with snails
stewed in brown gravy and helped
each person to a share of the snails,
putting it down carefully within
the limits of the circle. That was
all the feast, except the inevitable
vino di paese, which really takes the
place of meat with these people,

INSTANT DEATH.
It Is Not So Quick but That the Mind
Has Time to Act.

. IS
It Is Not So Quick but That the Mind
Has Time to Act.
It is questionable if such phenom-
enon as instant death is known to the
scientist and investigator. Physicians
and surgeons tell us that death by
gunshot wound is the easiest mode Of
terminating life; yet, rapid as such a
mode of taking off must necessarily
be, the body has leisure to feel and
time to reflect and on rare occasions
even to act.
On the first attempt Of one Of the
adherents of the Spanish monarch to
assassinate William, prince of Orange,
the ball passed through the bones of
his face and brought him to the ground.
In the instant which preceded stupe-
faction, however, he was able to frame
the notion that the ceiling of room
had fallen in and crushed him.
Another question in this connection
is that of probable pain. Although nu-
merous instances could be cited in
support of the view that the mind acts
in cases Of so called instant death, it
by no means follows that the infection
Of fatal blow is attended by the least
semblance of pain or single pang of
Immediately, however, the pain may
be as varied as the nature of the in

Severe Penalties For, Smoking Were
In Vogue In Olden Times.
Strange as it may appear now, both
sultans Of Turkey and shahs Of Per
STA have tried their best to put down
smoking. In Turkey, formerly, smok-
ing was a crime punishable by the Of
Tenders having their pipes thrust
through their noses, and in Russia in
1854 the noses of smokers were cut off.
In Pennsylvania offenders were fined
from 3 to 200 FORMS In Berne, Swift
zerland, 1861, where crimes were di-
vided into sections according to the
Ten Commandments, smoking was
classed with adultery. The tribunal to
put down smoking, called chambre-au-
tabac, continued to the middle of the
eighteenth century. The climax was
reached by Amarath ", king of Per
STA, who made it a capital offense.
In England Elizabeth issued proc
lamation against smoking in 1884, and

a common stipulation that mo puffer
