TROUBLE WITH WIRES
Men Worked All Night to End Telephone
 Difficulties.

The telephone wires of the Southern New England Go have been out of or der the past week and have been rais- ing the deuce with the tempers of storekeepers and customers who In their endeavors to reach central" have almost knocked the phones apart. The trouble started last sun day and has continued on and off all during the week. It seems that the cause of the trouble was a small amount of water which fin some man. ner got inside the cable and rendered useless twelve or fifteen of the 56 pairs of wires within. The amount of water was only about a spoonful and in all probability got into the cable by one of the sleeves" a term used for where pieces of the cable are joined. The workmen for the company knew that they had big task before them as the cable had to he tested from the depot to Riverside street to find the defect. Their endeavors to find 1t were successful last evening, the breaR heinz discovered short distance from
 
 Riverside street, near the Benedict & Burnham factory. The teaspoonful ot water had such an effect upon the cot ton within the cable and upon the paraffine with which the metal is coat ed that about eight feet of the cable had to be cut out and a new piece put in. An through the night men worked on the iob and fresh men took their places this morning. Handling 56 pairs of wires Is no play work, yet the men are making good headway and will probably have all the phones in condition before tonight. Many laugh able incidents occurred because of the pOor service and one young man stood in A store holding the receiver in his hand for about half an hour. every few minutes saying Hello. Central He finally came to the conclusion that the instrument had an of day snd left the store after getting the ha. ha from couple of fellows who were wIse to fine fact that "ceutral'' could not he reached.

Chicago university. From the very start he was a sensational player. His speed has always been his chief dis tinguishing feature. Later came his ability to drop kick goals.
 This almighty ball booter is also star track athlete and good baseball player. He made an intercollegiate record in the fifty yard dash and has run 100 yards in 10 seconds flat.
 Even in football Eckersall shows his track instincts. Yost, the Michigan coach, says that he cannot run around his own left end. He must always keep opposing tacklers on his left side. This, Yost says, is probably due to his early practice on the running track. Yost says that Eckersall has never been able to pull off any of his long runs against Michigan, because the Wolverenes have managed to keep his right hand pretty close to the lines on that side of the field. This does not give him room for his runs, and when he went the other way they found lit tie trouble getting him.
 Coach Stagg of Chicago uses Eek. ersall strictly as kicking and end run. ner. The boy wears the lightest of clothes and shoes. He carries scarcely any padding in his brooches.

 It is hardly necessary to say that l shall not call again before receiving your re- ply; but when you say the word Come" 1t will not take any great length of time for me 10 accept the welcome invitation. hope that you will be able to say that word. Yours with love, FRANK.
 Miriam's mingled feelings of misery and joy when she read the letter may be imagined. Why did write that miserable letter? Why didn't give him one more day, after all these years? Oh, why wasn't I too i'll to get up this morning." were some of the questions that the poor girl asked herself, when the feelings of misery were in control. as they were during nearly all the rest of the afternoon, the happiness which she had felt for 3 short time giving way under the in have been happy without the loss of her self-respect.
 But perhaps there is yet chance to save it." thought Miriam, as once more came to her mind that friend of mankind and womankind, the much abused and misunderstood telephone. She would try to get Frank at his of- flee, and if by any chance he had not Eeceived the letter, or had not read it, if he had received it, she would make him promise to return It with out reading. But she realized that the hope was faint one, as there Was almost no chance that the letter had not been received; and if he had re- ceived it--well, she would like to see him leave letter of hers unopened for more than a minute!
 And so this contradictory woman went to the telephone with a weak voice and faint heart, hoping against hopo that Frank had been away from the office, and that the letter had ar rived in his absence. The reply to her inquiry for MT. Webster gave her momentary comfort, as she was told that he was out; but when she asked further questions she learned that he had been in the office until few min utes before the time of her telephone call. As she hung up the receiver. Miriam said to herself, with a sad smile, that she wished she could hang herself as easily.
 The next half-hour was one of the most miserable that the girl had ever spent, She again read her lovers letter; but instead of finding any com fort for her troubles, the reading only added to her misery.

Bullets and Balloons.

: In the course of an interview with representative of the Paris Matin, M. Julliot, the engineer of M. Lebaudy's balloon, declared that balloon could scarcely be injured by rife fire. Two hundred bullets through the silk would only slightly diminish the balloons powers or ascension, while it's exceed. ingly mobile properties would renoer the possibility of disablement by shell fire exceedingly problematical. But should it be seriously rent the aero nauts would probably be able to reach friendly territory in safety before the final collapse.

Farmers Invention.

A Canadian farmer has rigged up novel device to keep his cows out of the corn. A framework of light poles is strapped over the cows nose, muzzle fashion, and studded with large nails. When the COW tries to get through the fence the nails catch against the barbs and effectually keep her out of the grain. The device has been widely copied by the farmers in that section of Canada where the fences are at best but poor, and : travellers can see scores of cattle carry, ing these novel headgears, often with birds roosting on them. sv "at

HE HlfNL I1Ab Ell l. that he has read my letter? Modest girls don't propose to men, even if the men haven't nerve enough to pro- pose themselves"
 Miriam was still in a most unhappy frame of mind when her brother re- turned at night from business. He had a shame-faced look as he ap- preached her.
 I'm sorry, sis, after all you said about the importance of that letter, but-well, I've had an awful busy day of 1t. and forgot to post it. Here it is.'
 Her arms were around his neck in an instant.
 You dear, darling, torgetful, ab- sent-minded brother!" she cried, as he looked at her in amazement. Nov that you have forgotten to post the letter, just forget another thing, for get that asked you to post it!"
 And her brother, who dearly lovei Miriam, and knew from her earnest ness that 1t was important to her that he should say nothing about the let ter. kept her secret faithfully. He mArveled as days went by at her con- tinued sweetness to him, until she told him of her engagement, and then he explained the problem to himself by saying that there was nothing like requited love to change a woman's disposition.
 And to this day Mirism's broth CT believes that her happiness in loving and being loved saved hin from a scolding the day he forgot to post her letter.
 Miriam has been married for ten years. and in all that time has kept only one thing from her husband. that is. the dark secret of the letter that her brother forgot to post.

INDIAN SUMMER.

The stiffness that doth wait on change Is
 here.
 Some pause of expectation owns the hour; And faint and far I hear the sea complain Where gray and answerless the head
 lands tower. Slow falls the evening of the dying year, Misty and dim the patient forests lie, Chill ocean winds the wasted woodland
 grieve,
 And earthward loitering the leaves go by. Behold how nature answers death! Ger The memoried splendor of her summer Lavished and lost her wealth of sun fsd
 sky,
 Scarlet and gold, are in her drifting
 leaves.
 Vain pageantry! for this, alas. is death. Nor may the seasons ripe fulfllment
 cheat
 Our tfronging memories of those who died With Life's young summer promise ip-
 complete. The dead leaves rustic meath my lingering
 tread,
 Low murmuring ever to the spirit ear; We were, and yet again snail De once more' In the sure circuit of the rolling year. Trust thou the craft of nature. To! for
 thee
 A comrade wise she moves, serenely
 sweet, With willful precedence mocking sense of
 loss .... For us who mourn loves unreturning
 feet. Trust thou her wisdom, she will reconcile The faltering spirit to eternal change When, in her fading woodways, thou shalt
 touch
 Dear hands long dead and know them
 not as strange .. For thee a golden parable she breathes Where in the mystery of this repose While death is dreaming life the waning wood
 With far-caught light of heaven divine
 ly glows. Thou, when the final loneliness draws near And earth to earth recalls her tired child In the sweet constancy of nature strong Shalt dream again-how dying nature
 smiled.
 -S Weir Mitchell, in Century.

Little Duties.

You picture to yourself the beauty of bravery and steadfastness. You let your imagination wander in delight over the memory of martyrs who have died for truth. And then some little, wretched, disagreeable duty comes, which is your martyrdom, the lamp for your oil; and if you will not do it, how your oil is spilled! How fiat and unilluminated your sentiment about the martyr runs over your self ndulgence.-Detroit Free Press. F

Dust-laden hair brushes are deadly to the health and beauty of the hair. ... .....
