The StOryOf
a Telephone
81 2. sEAT

IT was not beautiful; no telephone
ever is, and Mrs. Harding declared
that 1t would never pay for itself by
proving useful, but when she made that
statement she did not take into &C
count the nature Of the owner Of the
new telephone. That telephone had long
been Nora's hearts desire, and now as
she leaned back in her invalid's chair
and gazed at the little oak box from
which hung the homely black receiver,
her eyes were filled with happy tears.
How much il meant to ner to know
that she was really no longer alone!
She had only to take the receiver into
her hand, and somewhere from out the
spaces stretching away towards Dali
ton she would hear a friendly voice in
reply.
She turned in her wheeled chair and
looked out Of the window; the church
spires Of Dalton cleaned above the

So the loving hearts were severed

Thus another tale OF sorrow
Born OF progress must be told.
For her hopes were rudely shattered
And his happiness was lost
Through the songs that came unwanteo
All because the wires were crossed.

green trees and cultivated fields in the
valley; smoke from its huge factories
and hundreds Of homes lay in drifted
masses towards the east. Down the
road, a quarter Of a mile away, the
telephone men were speeding in their
light wagon; along the highway, paral-
Tel lines Of poles hung with wires
marked the friendly approach to the
country.
While she was gazing at the scene
before her the telephone rang. The
s~uddenness of the sound startled her.
Her heart beat quickly; she took up
the receiver: "Is that Markley farm?
Is the telephone connection ~fnished?"
sMen are Gone! oh. that's all
right; your numbers Pike IL. Better
make a note Of It, until it's printed in
the directory next quarter. Good-by.
Nora hung up the receiver, turned
back TO the window, and said self
r~eproachfully: Il didn't really need It!
Aunt was right; she said I'd nobody to
call up, and as I'm shut In for life, I'm
not likely to meet many new people,
but It makes me feel as though had
3 real person right in the rooml"
Aunt Alice came in, glanced ct the
unwelcome intruder hanging 50 near
70 the invalida chair, and said: "A
waste Of money, Nora; you could have
spent It doing better for yourself and
your family than thatl"
Mrs. Harding, who had never been

Of her life, hurried out Of the room bent

country, and a weeks mending al be-

sure. It was not Jet II IN the morn
fng. and If one lost no time-but left
70 herself, Nora refused to follow her
aunts itinerary any further. She re-
turned to the contemplation Of her
telephone. "It's the only one IN q half
mile and It may prove useful Perhaps
she may want to call me up when she
gets to town."
Taking the directory from its book
she scanned the names eagerly there
were not many Of them familiar. She
put It aside and restlessly took up some
fsncywork, glaneing often Wistfully al
the pleasant country scene spread be-
fore her window.

THE PHILIPPINE ISSUE.
Judge Parker's Letter to Mr.. Milburn
on the Subject.

A New York dispatch to the Philadelphia
North American says: Ex-Judge Alton Il.
Parker the democratic candidate for Pres
ident in a letter to John G. Milburn Of
Buffalo. explaining his position as to the
Philippines. takes his stand with President
Roosevelt and ex-Secretary OF War Elihu
Root. in favor OF granting Independence to
the Filipinos las soon as it can prudently
be done"
Judge Parker wrote to Mr.. Milburn I'm
reply to letter of inquiry Judge Parkers
letter reads:
You are entirely right in assuming that
as employed the phrase 'sef-government'
it was intended to be identical with inde-
pendence, political and territorial. After
noting the criticism referred to by you
am still unable to understand how 1t can
be said that people enjoy Oelf-government
while another nation may in any degree
whatsoever control their actions.
But to take away all possible oppor-
tunity for conjecture II shall be made clear
In my letter of acceptance that | am In
hearty accord with that plank in the demo-
cratic platform which advocates treating
the Filipinos precisely as we did the Gu
bans. and also favor making the promise
to them now to take such action as soon
as Ii can prudently be done"
In his address accepting the democratic
nomination for President Judge Parker
said:
THE accident OF war brought the Phil
fppines into our possession. and we are
not at liberty to disregard the RESPONSE
bility which thus came to us. but that re-
sponsibility will be best subserved by pre-
pairing the islanders as rapidly as possible
for self-government and giving to them the
assurances that 1t will come as soon as
they are reasonably prepared for it."
Mr.. Milburn. who was one OF President
Cleveland's trusted advisers. but supported
Mckinley In both his campaign; against
Bryan. and at whose home in Buffalo Pres
ident Mckinley died, wrote this letter to
Judge Parker on August 20:
Il have noticed In some quarters a dis
position to criticise the words 'self-govern-
ment.' used by you in connection with the
future Of the Philippine Islands, IN, mean
ing something less than independence and
venture to ask you II / am not right in
assuming that 'sef-government.' as you
used the phrase. is Identical with independ-
ence, political and territorial"
