TELEPHONE AFFAIRS.

Thursday evening the telephone wire and the electric wires in some way or another came in contact with each other with disastrous results to both. There were no lights on either side of Mill avenue, part of the evening and none at all on the east side.
 Two of the company's linemen were over from Phoenix yesterday and in the morning disconnected every line on the switch board. That accounts for the fact that for about an hour yesterday the lines were all useless. The entire board. though, has now been fully repaired and is in the best of order.
 New directories have been distribut- ed to every patron of the system in Tempe and hereafter it is required that all calls be made by number. This will probably be to the advantage of all parties concerned as it will avoid many. mistakes that might otherwise be made.

HERE'S THE WAY TO BE TALL.
No Girl Need Seem to be Short Now
 Says an Expert

Why be short?' asked the physical culture teacher. locking down long line of girls, big and little. all going through the same gymnastic feats- Why does any woman remain dumpy when she can just as we'll be 1.-the Why does she stay sawed off. when she can just as well be tall?
 ''It used to be that all women had to remain just as they were created. The girl who grew up short remaind short. Phe girl who grew up tall stayed tall. And the girl who was undersized re- mained undersized to the end of her days
 ''2ut now it is different. The girl who is too tall can diminish her appar- ont inches by many little tricks known to the physical culture teacher. and the girl who is nondescript can add d little distinction to her figure.
 "As for the very short girl. the gir! who is five feet or whereabouts, she has her figure absolutely under control. She is shorter than nature intended her to be and with a little coaxinG nature will remedy her defect.
 The first task of the short girl is to get thin. She must reduce until her weight is in proportion to her height.
 When she has reduced her weight 1 to the correct proportion then she IS ready for the work of making herself | taller.
 There are several theories about growing tall. One of these is that as woman takes off her poInds she adds | to her height. This is based upon the supposition that tho human frame. if heavily weighted with fat. sinks a lit- | tie.
 Thus a Viennese woman took on ex- tra pounds so rapidly that she became alarmed. She added nearly five pounds a month to her weight and at the end of the year was fifty pounds heavier than the year before. The second year she added another fifty pounds and when she consulted a reduction special | ist she weight 250 pounds.
 ''The beauty doctor measured his pa tient's height. Then as he reduced her weight he measured her again.
 He found by actual measurement | that, as each twenty-five pounds came off. the height of the woman increased little. It was a very little to be sure hut is was something. When she had got back to her normal weight the diff ference in her height was quite mo- ticeable.
 ''So, if the short girl will reduce she

BALLAD OF THE BAD COLD.

Now. there was a man with a red, red
 nose And weak and watery eye; He stood on the street, with a patient
 pose While the cars went hurrying by. And he read a paper. and stamped his
 toes And softly 'kerchiefed his crimson
 nose. A friend soon joined him in waiting
 there. And asked: What's the latest row And what has been taken, and when and where?" And the man said: "Koochc-ah-
 chow!" And the friend said: "Jiminy: You
 don't say? Now. what do you think will be done
 today?" The man turned then, and he sighed:
 1T think That the next is-Oc-chooly-choo I mean-Ah-choo,"- a quivering
 blink Closed his eyes as the tears came through. Perhaps, bu. it seems quite a hefty
 plan, don't think they will.' said the other
 man. "It isn't--Ah-chee." cried the red
 nosed man, "Rut it's-Ooo-clly-oo-a a klSety -wowi" That's just what I said when the war
 began" Said the friend: They're doing 1t
 now,'' But the other answered. 70, can't you
 see It is-woo! Ooo! Yooshwishy-oof- -ka-
 w'hee!' "No, no. You're wrong, said the
 friend at that. Why. the place is too far away From the seat of war, and I'll bet my
 hat It will not be attacked today" And the man with the nose that was
 ruby red Just gurgled and groaned and shook
 his head. "I don't mean w2r." were the words he
 said. ''I thought you were asking of me What I took for this cold that is in
 my head And told you-Whhoo! Yoo, Crawee," And the friend then snickered and
 said, said he: You sneeze like a class in geography"

UNCLE HIRAM'S SMIRK.
Looked Pleasant" and Aroused His
 Wife's Suspicious.

Uncle Hiram Bradley. who lives across the Delaware in New Jersey. is getting along in years, and his good wife and daughters have long besought him to go and get his photograph taken. Last week one day Uncle Hi- ram brought a load of potatoes to the city, and they banned out so we'll that he concluded to humor the family and give them little surprise by visiting a photographer. He got shaved and mad hair cut preparatory to the un- dertaking, and when he returned home was careful not to mention what he had been about.
 A day or two later one of the girls went to the postoffice and brought home a package of cabinet photos. When they opened it she exclaimed in astonishment:
 Good land, if it ain't pal"
 The rest of the family crowded around and looked over her shoulder. ana at that moment Uncle Hiram happened in.
 Did a woman photographer take that picture?" demanded Mrs. Bradley. turning upon him.
 Why. no, ma" said Uncle Hiram. hesitatingly. What on airth made you ask such a question:"
 Because, Hiram Bradley" his good wife continued severely, you've got on the identical smirk that you had when you used to come a-courtin'. haven't seen it before in thirty years. ''
