pretty Miss Bennett in her daintiest
dress and was handed into the cab by
the gallant Mr.. Whitney. There was
a delightful theater party for two in
Manhattan, a little tete-a-tete supper
afterward, and then the cab took the
pretty telephone girl back to Green
point.
With this as beginning, the rest
was easy. There came an automobile

clerk brought something in a tiny vel
vet box to No 213 Nassau avenue,
Greenpoint, where jewelers. clerks are
seldom seen.
Then the Proposal.
OF course, all this attention meant
but one thing-a proposal. Last week
it came. and on Saturday evening when
Miss Bennett put on her hat and wraps
at the end of the days work she noti-
fed the hotel management that she
had done her last days work
IL am to be married." she added.
THAT very same Saturday Mr. Whit
ney went to the Office of the Grand
Union hotel and asked for his bill. He
paid it and, calling a cab. drove over
to the Hotel Astor. Forty fourth street
and Broadway, where he took suite
No. 3O5. There he is now, getting
ready for his wedding.
Loyal to Old Friends.
In her prosperity Miss Bennett has
not forgotten her less fortunate friends
of her hello" days. The bridesmaid
at the wedding is TO be Miss Ida
Schwindt, another telephone operator
who presides at the switchboard OF
the Park Avenue hotel. Mr.. Whitney
has handed her a handsome check to
provide herself with bridesmaids
gown. But of this or Of her elderly
fiance's wealth Miss Bennett will not
speak.
Telephone Gossip.
There are certain things which at the
other telephone girls in New York have
heard, but which none Of the interested
parties will confirm. Call up any Cen.
trail" and she will tell you the gossip.
These are, that Mr.. Whitney has already
settled 100000 upon Mr.. Bennett and
that he and her father were present at
the signing of the papers; that her wed.
ding gift will be a $4,000. automobile;
that Miss Schwindt has received $500 for
her bridesmaids dress and a diamond
! cluster ring for a souvenir, and that Mr..
Whitney himself is one of New York's
new unknown millionaires.
Mr. Whitney doesn't look his years.
He Is powerfully built, more than six
feet TALL. and has apparently many years
yet TO live. He is as sprightly and at.
tentive as a man half his years He
made his money in asphalt and lum.

Early Struggles.
OF her early struggles and ambitions,
and her successful overcoming of OBJ
stacles and hindrances, which would
have overpowered the average person,

about besides Standard Oil wickedness
and tainted" money, the beef trust in
vestigation, or the Hyde and Alexander
iasco.
What the Lovers Say.
OF Cupid's work, Mr.. Stokes says:
1--WE are not two; we are one in spirit"
And Miss Pastor echoes like sentiment
when she says: Life is a riddle, OF
which love is the answer. Our souls met
and we knew that we belonged to each
other"
The gray-haired lover steps forward
with the spring of youth and says: See
here. I'm not an old man. I've never had
a days illness in my life and the insur-
ance companies have accepted me for all
the insurance that | can carry. ] re-
gard myself as the most fortunate of men
Il wouldn't change places with any
body in the world. / expect to be SUI
premely happy for the rest of my days"
And the blushing maiden demurely
adds: "Our wedding will be a very
quiet one, and after that we are going to
Europe" And a whole fairyland of a
new and big world opens up before the
, vision of the girl whose horizon has been
( limited to one land, and to the noisy
whirl and hustle of a big city.

Her Sweet Voice.
1t CHANGED that K. r. Whitney, a cap
| italist of Montreal, came to New York
last year for long stay. He took rooms
/ at the Astor house One day he called
up a business friend at the Grand Union
hotel. There was difficulty in getting his
party on the wire. But it wasn't Cen
trails" fault.
Instead of initiating the rather hasty
tones of Mr.. Whitney, as does the aver
! age Central, or giving him Busy" this
operator on the other end of the line real
/ ly tried to get the call for Mr.. Whitney,
/ SO sweet was her voice and so charming
her manner that the impatient business
man at the other end was much i'm
pressed.
He got his party, an appointment was
made and next day found Mr. Whitney
at the hotel to transact his business. The
interview over, again he sought the tele-
phone. At the switchboard sat charm
ing young girl Mr.. Whitney gave her
the number he wished, and when he
heard her ask "S100 Cortlandt" over the
wire, great light came over him.
Her Pretty Face.
At once he recognized the voice-it
was the voice of the day before, when he
had been so courteously treated over the
wire. If the voice had pleased him, the
sweet-faced girl who gave him his call
delighted him. Mr.. Whitney is 20 years
old. but he hasn't forgotten the gallantry
Of youth. In the twinkling of an eye he
had recalled the incident of the day be-
fore. and the blushing girl owned up that
Il was her voice that he had heard over
the wire.
Now. Mr.. Whitney is man of decis
ion. He admired the pretty telephone
girl and he decided that it would be q
saving of time if he could be nearer
her when he wanted to use the phone
It isn't necessary to recount right here
that perhaps there we're other infiu
ences that caused his decision.
At any rate. on the very next day
there appeared on the register of the
Grand Union the name "E. r. Whit
ney. Montreal" He took an expensive
suite and the Astor House knew him
no more.

farm products are higher but
nothing to be compared with
what has to be bought. Furth-
er the higher price of farm prod

which are controlled by the
trusts has been made arbitrarily
in order that the big thieves
may make more money. This

In a certain town in southern
Kansas, says the Emporia Gazette,
there are two editors who hate each
other. When one editor advocates
anything the other sees a deeply
laid plot in it to throttle the town;
and when the second editor favors
a scheme the first editor can see as
plain as the nose on his face that
the whole business is a big steal.

The Frogs Appetite.

A frogs appetite for enveloping
his companions and assimilating
them, says Forest and Stream, was
once shown by an incident which
occurred under the observation of
one of my acquaintance. He had
returned from the country with a
lot of frogs, large and small, which
he had obtained for one Of the New
York educational institutions. I
have forgotten how many there
were, but they numbered over
twenty, / am quite certain. These
he put into a large bird case, the
wires Of which were close enough
to prevent even the smallest from
escaping. On the third day he
went to see how his captives were
doing and found, greatly to his
surprise, that all had disappeared
with the exception of two old
moss-backs, and they were eye
& each other askance, apparently
oubt as to which would be the
