1t Is Not Good Policy.
Under our franchise we could
charge much higher price, but that
is not good policy, as we could not
get the subscribers and hold them.
Our rate here will be much less
than in Los Angeles, as the popula-
ton is less and therefore there are
only about 5000 telephone subscriD-
ers TO be had. But a good telephone
system will breed subscribers, and
the more telephones in use in any
city the more business.
Every telephone added to a city
is an extra entrance door to every
business. Therefore, no citizen of
Tacoma need fear telephones. Ia
coma wants to wake up and be like
other cities. Every city in the United
States having a population of 10000
or more, with the exception of eight
or ten, has an independent telephone
system. There are also more indie
pendent telephone companies in the
United States than of the other COM
pany. FRANK MORTIMER.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-The
mimic love making between James
Durkin, leading man of local the
atrical company, and Miss Frances
Starr, of the same company, has
paved the way for an uncontrollabia
passion that has swept away all sense
of honor on the part of both.
Durkin has deserted devoted
wife and has left here for the East,
and Miss Starr is expected to fol-
low. The management of the com
pany has cancelled it's contracts with
both actor and actress, and they have
been ostracized by the other mem
bers of the company.

Mrs. Durkin is a pretty little wo-
man and a native of Pittsburg, Pa.
She had implicit faith in her husband
and it was only recently that she
awoke to the fact that his love for
her was dead, and that Miss Starr
had supplanted her in her husband $
affections.

explained when his wife asked him
the reason for his indifference. Mrs.
Durkin then left him. A few days
ago he sent for her, and, in the
presence of Miss Starr, he offered
to give her SO a week for her sup
port, telling her at the same time
that he no longer loved her and that
Miss Starr occupied all the room In
his heart. Miss Starr assured Mrs.
Durkin that both herself and the hus-
band would do all in their power TO
provide for the deserted wife, bur
/ that she loved Mr.. Durkin and she
would not give him up.
Durkin promised that If any trace
of his former love for his wife re-
| turned he would come back.
The Durkins were married in OHIO
Mrs. Durkin is only twenty-four
years of age.

She Was Stuck on the Place.

A strange thing happened in this
village recently during a lull in the
heavy rains, and 1t happened to one
poor, lone hem and caused her owner
to gaze and wonder in establishment.
This particular hen in question has a
brood OF about twenty chickens which
she is forced to scratch for and shell
ter from hawks and do other things
that are necessary for motherly hens
to look out for when chickens are
young.
Well, 1t happened that one morning
the rain stopped for a few hours and
the ground was exceedingly soft and
susceptible to the pedal extremities OF
all kinds of walking creatures, espe-
cially hens. Mrs. Hen started out to
scratch for few choice worms and
bugs.
About an hour later her owner
came into the yard and saw her
scratching on the ground and sup.
posed she was covering her chicks
from some passing hawk. He went
up to her, but she did not start. And
good reason, too; she was stuck in
the mud up to her feathery breast.
The man, of course, extricated MRS.
II. from her embarrassing position
and she hustled back into the barn
to wait until the ground dried
