THE HELLO GIRLS CHANGE.

The High Qualifications That Are Ex-
 pected of Her With Something of Her Work and Pay.
 The manager, of a telephone central exchange was asked what prospect of advancement a girl has when she en- tered the service of tb 2 company. "A girls progress depends altogether on herself, on her ability,' he replied. |"Inefficiency even if backed by the President of the United States. has no show here.
 ITO begin with, in selecting appli- |cants for the telephone exchanges we make the requirements more and more difficult. Girls who passed muster when the concern was in it's infancy wouldn't stand the least chance today,
 In brief, we now demand a aram-s mar school education, first-class sight and hearing, a good voice and enuncia- |tion. A bad or sloyenly accent must
 be corrected before a girl can get em- |ployment in one of our excanges.
 If the head of the training school sees possibilities in an applicant she is taken on trial for a week, at the end |of which she is either discharged or told that she is regularly entered for the full course of training. Eighteen lis the age limit now, for after that age 1t is found that young woman does mot learn so readily, and a factor which also counts high in an applicants fav- Tor is a refined manner and neat ap- Ipearance.
 Now, about her progression. When she leaves the training school she be- gins at $5 a week, and is placed nat |urally at one of the least busy tele- phones and between two girls who are much more experienced, and with a supervisor at her back.
 Sometimes at first she will only take a wire at an hour when traffic is light, and the girl who is usually ill that place will stand at her back and. see that she doesn't get rathed. The girls who get on fastest are those who are least nervous and not easily con- fused. tS s54

A BOY AND A PILE OF DIRT.

T. A F Ia I want to preach little sermon and I'll take for my text a great pile
 of rich earth that had been delivered in the street in front of my house. It had to be carried up flight of steps, and I told my boy that 1t was his
 duty to help me dig and carry the earth. < Es.
 He puttered away, boy fashion. He sat down on the curb and said his fhead ached. Then he had a pain in | his, side. He made three trips for drinking water There was wistful look in his eyes as he glanced at a lit- | tie ball game in nearby lot. ' 4, I Boy lnine,', I said. I'm disap- pointed in you. I'm hurt aibit. You are geeting a peep at manhood. You
 are close to the age when the cal ! loused places will smart and you'll feel the load pressing your shoulders. [ won't force you. Go withtthe boys, I but I'm ashamed.
 He muttered, T don't care, and started for the ball lot. Then he stopped. No one can say just what was
 going OF in that brown matched head of his. He darted into the house and in five minutes he was back shovel in hand, making the dirt fly. He perspir- ed and panted. He did.not stop until the last basket of earth had been de- 1 livered. After supper he came to my knee and said: Papa. Ieguess you ain't ashamed of your little boy any more, are yours Ashamed! There are those who
 mock at sentiments, at earesses, of
 human love- I was tproud to put my arms around my lada aand tell him that 1 it is better for a boyTor man to con- quer himself thanato wear a crown. Perhaps the blisters ron his chubby hands will be worth millions to him

MAKE IT SHORT.

The Times prints a great many let ters from it's readers. That's only an- other way of saying that the Times is Very close to the people of this splen- did community. "A Census of these communications for a year would take on portly proportions and would carry a tall total. #
 Some of the letters convey dissent or reproof; some, sweet as honey from Hymettus, contain praise; and some seek either to iinpart or to elliott ifl- formation. They discuss all sorts and conditions of subjects; they touch life at all angles; they deal with all phases of human activity and human thought. Nobody is interested in all of them; everybody is interested in some of them. Tn them suggestions crop out like quills upon the fretful porcupine. and nobody who reads them can fail to be impressed by the intellectual ac- tivity, versatility, energy and eager ness of the dwellers in Great Hart ford. Of course, opinions are fre- quently expressed which don't coincide with those farbored by the Times .but difference of opinion makes many in- teresting things besides hoss races.
 To print these letters from day to
 day is a genuine pleasure to the Times They help to hold, as't were, the mir TOT up to nature, and, withal, they con- stitute a feature of Journalism that the Times prefers to nurture rather than to neglect. The only suggestion that we have to make in this connection is that a short letter is eagerly read by thou sands, where a long letter is languidly perused by hundreds. Brevity is the soul of a great many thing besides wit. Hartford Times. '3t' E

Mr.. John Delony, Fifth Mime
sofa, who for more than year past
has been an inmate of rebels pris-
ons, reached his home near Center
vile, Anoka county, this week.
He was captured while scouting.
The prisoners at Andersonville,
Ca, were sometimes two days with
out food. Their daily rations were
a piece of bread half the size of a
mans hand and about one inch
thick, and meat about two inches
long and one inch wide. Often there
was no meat. A few of them had
old tents, but most of them we're
, without shelter, and for a pillow
would use pile of sand. After a
rain those who were exposed would
die off rapidly, Anyone approach
ing the dead line would be shot
down without warning. There was
no opportunity to wash clothes.
Through the center of the camp ran
a little creek about three feet wide
and six inches deep. This was all
they had to depend on for water,
and it was often nothing but mud
puddle. The rebels would put dirt
in above to make it muddy. On
each side of the camp is a swamp
from which dense fog rose night
| ly.
The rebels required them to cut
their own wood and then positively
refused them the use of any article
for that purpose. The deaths al

sued. ST. Paul's quota will be
approximately 300 men. By prompt
action, our citizens have heretofore
avoided compulsory enlistment.
This has been done by large OUTLAWS
of money for bounties. It behooves
the city council to at once get to
work and devise means to raise
money for bounties and put recruit
ing agents to work. If this is done
before the city is flooded with agents
from other towns, we can easily Sc
cure sufficient number and save
thousands of dollars, as the price
for recruits will certainly advance
in the near future. We cannot ex-
pect longer to secure men from
abroad, but should turn our atten-
ton to securing then from our own
citizens, and offer such bounties
that they will not enlist to the cred
it of other towns 1t is unfair to
again ask our sparsely-settled dis
tricts to fight our battles, even
though we pay them a handsome
money compensation.
The interest which this city
would have to pay on bonds sufici-
ent to free it from the draft would
amount to a mere nothing, compared
to the losses we would sustain by
allowing hundreds to go off and
volunteer to the credit of other
towns which would offer bounties,
hundreds more to fee the city, and
300 to be drafted. Aside from econ
omy, patriotism requires that we
rouse ourselves to the task of re-
cruiting our armies. The interest
can be easily paid without being
felt. The principal, put off for 20
years, can easily be paid by those
who come after US.

A Transaction Worth Guarding.

The common council of the city of
Rock Island cannot realize too deeply
the responsibility that is reposeG in
every member of that body in the pro-
position that is now before il, relating
to the purchase of a new pump for the
city water works. Where there is a
range in figures of from $4,000 TO $49.-
900 in the bids submitted, there ought
to be afforded abundant opportunity
to strike a pretty good bargain for the
city. both in the matter of quality of
the purchase and price.
And while it should be expected in view
of past experiences, the tax payers
would manifest deeperinterest in what
is being done in their behalf than has
been so far apparent, the fact should
not be lost sight of that just at this
particular time elements are at work
that conscientious aldermen should
have the cooperation of the represen-
a quietus upon.
In order 10 serve the best ends and
highest good of the public it is not ne
cessary that the representatives of a
franchise seeking institution not eth
er resident or property holding here
should concern itself more particularly
about what is going on than the people
whose vital interests are at stake.
There is no purpose in this connec-
ton. it need hardly be said. 10 cast
aspersions upon any one in public
office. and while it may honestly be
said that seldom has the time occurred
when Rock Island should have the ad-
vantage OF men of keen judgment il
both branches of the municipal body.
those who are trying 10 do their duty
should have the encouragement of the
best thinking, far sighted men of the
city.
