MODERN TELEPHONE SERVICE

The use OF the telephone has become
so universal and familiarity with its
working so general that little of the
mystery which surrounded the opera
ton of telephone line but few
years ago is now apparent
Not such long time has elapsed
since a telephone in a house was re-
garded more in the light Of luxury
than necessity, but conditions have
changed radically in this respect, and
in the cities and towns of the United
States the telephone is now classed
with other modern conven1enoes, such
as water. gas and electric lights, and
few families, even in moderate cir
cumstances, feel that they can get
along without this ever-present and
faithful servant. The protection az
forded home through telephone
connection can hardly be oyer-esti-
mated. 1t is policeman, doctor, tele-
graph Office and fire apparatus, all in
one, if proper use is made of 1t. In
rural communities, too. the use Of the
telephone has been rapidly developed
In these past few years until much OF
the loneliness and isolation which for
merly surrounded the life Of farmer
and his family has been eliminated.
Sociability among friends and neigh
bors has been promoted and general
news and market reports are as &C
cessible to residents of the country
districts as they are to the city man.
The construction of the Long Distance
lines throughout the States Of Texas
and Arkansas by the Southwestern
Telegraph and Telephone Company
has made it possible for those who are
connected with this system to COM
municate with the utmost facility with
upwards of twenty-five hundred cities
and towns In these two states and to
reach seventy thousand subscribers.
Besides this, is the fact that connec-
ton with the systam OF the Southwest
ern Company means connection with
the vast telephone system OF ex-
changes and toll lines throughout the
United States operated under license
from the Bell Telephone Company and
places at the disposal Of the user a
service that in efficiency and scope
is in a class entirely by itself.
The rates now charged for tele-
phone service are generally so low
and the terms offered for connecting
country lines with nearby towns SO
liberal as to render it possible for al
most any family or community to en-
Joy the benefits afforded through such
a convenience, and this is being stead
lily availed of by those who reside In
the territory operated by the South
western Telegraph and Telephone
Company, whose principal headquar-
tiers are in Dallas, Texas. This COM
pany has not only invested large sums
Of money in providing compreher
sive system OF long distance lines
which is being constantly added to.
and in installing the latest types OF
apparatus in its exchanges, but In
many of the principal cities 1t has
erected buildings of its own In order
to secure a proper and efficient hand
ling Of its large and growing business,
so II will be seen that this company
has identified itself with the interests
of the states in which II operates In a
manner which should invite the conf
dence and secure the patronage OF the
constantly increasing army OF teie-
phone users.

This is our class for studying tricks
with newspapers.
The dean of the dog college cracked
his whip to attract attention.
Now, then. papers. papers; fetch
the papers. fetch the papers. Back
there, Rollo, back. Now papers"
The seven dogs lined against the
walj rushed to where as many newspa'
! rcrs lay In RON, and after some
slight confusion distributed them
among themselves The professor s
whip cracked menacingly.
Bring them here, here. here: lay
them down. Here are your bones.
Now get out"
Each paper unrolled disclosing a
tempting bone. The class dropped the
papers obediently, snatched up the
bones and disappeared pell nell
through the door. School YVES cut for
the day.
That last exercise didn't do us cred
it." said the professor pleasantly, as
he picked up the papers and hastily
set the classroom to rights. MY pu-
pills are always upset by visitors. But
they are getting along finely. Several
dogs of that class have their lesson
so well by heart that shall promote
them next week. You're fortunate to
have seen ali entire class at recita-
ton. Most of the instruction, you
Know, is done by private tutoring.
But let me show you the college"
The New York College for Dogs is a
completely equipped school for the ed
ucation OF dogs in all branches. It is
the first institution of its kind in
America at least. II offers a variety
of courses. There are the Kindergarten
lessons, so TO speak, making the dog
house-broken and general obedience.
From these lessons a dog may be pro-
NOTED to other classes where he
learns to fetch the newspaper, or
ones slippers; TO steal and hide a
handkerchief. and what is more re-
markable. to find it, He also learns
to sit or walk upon his hind legs.
ShaAt hsAiNSf jump AAllOursn d HODD
and similar accomplishments. In sew
aral postgraduate courses he may in
turn learn fancy tricks enough to en-
able him TO accept a position in a cir
Gus.
The college is situated on upper
Broadway, at the corner of One Hun
dred and Tenth street, in New York
city. II occupies a large building es
pecially equipped for the purpose. II
contains clean, commodious dormi-
tories In the form W kennels. large
airy class rooms, baths. play ground
and even sun parlor. The courses
offered in the dog college vary in
length from one month TO year. The
rates OF tuition vary according TO the
nature of instruction and the intelli-
gence of the dog. A course which en-
ables dog TO learn single trick will
including his board during the period
of instruction cost about $50. This
generally occupies a three months
term. Anything like a complete ca
nine education is likely to cost well
INTO the hundreds of dollars. The col
Isge is clearly one for dogs of high
legree only.
There are six days of school in
every week, with a holiday on Sunday.
School opens promptly at s O'Clock
in the morning. At that hour the at
PENDANTS first serve breakfast to the
pupils. The meal is served in the pri-
vate kennels. Breakfast over, the
dogs are carefully washed. The morn
aig bath is imperative. BY ten o'clock
