TELEPHONE MATTER
 WILL BE TAKEN UP Joint Committee Will Consider
 New Proposed Ordinance PROBABLY BE DEFEATED
Measure Is Known as a Compromise Ordinance, Fixing Same Rates for Both Companies for Service
 In Birmingham.

The matter of increasing the People, telephone rates in Birmingham will come up before the judiciary and the lights and telephone committees of the City Council at meeting which will be held this afternoon at 3;30 o'clock in the of- flee of the mayor.
 It will be presented In the form of what Is known as the compromise telephone rate ordinance which was introduced at the last meeting of the council and re- ferred to the joint committee for investi- gation and a report.
 It is generally understood that a ma tority of the members of the two com mittees are opposed to the passage of the new ordinance, and that probably means It's defeat in the committee room. A re- port will be made to the City Council at It's regular semi monthly meeting to- night.
 It provides for a reduction of the rates charged by the Bell Telephone company of 50 cents month on each business tele- phone and 75 cents on each residence telephone, and also provides for an in- crease in rates for the Peoples Tele- phone company to meet those of the other company

 Sec. ?. Be 1t further ordained that it shall be lawful for all telephone com panies to charge the above priees and unlawful for any one of them to charge any amount in excess thereof.

used the place for years, but he had
used it as he might use hotel, and
whatever of his household gods had
come with him remained, like himself,
on Sufferance. His entrance into Chill
cotes surroundings had been altogeth-
er different Unknown to himself, he
had been in the position Of a young
artist who, having roughly modelled in
clay, is brought into the studio of n
sculptor. To his outward vision ev-
erything is new, but his inner sight
leaps to instant understanding. Amid
all the strangeness he recognizes the
one essential-the workshop, the atmos-
phere, the home.
On this first night of return Loder
comprehended something of his posi-
ton, and, comprehending he faced the
problem and fought with it.
He had made his bargain and must
pay his share. Weighing this, he had
looked about his room with a quiet
gaze. Then at last, as If finding the
object really sought for, his eyes had
come round to the mantelpiece and
rested on the pipe rack. The pipes
stood precisely as he had left them.

CHAPTER XII.


GN the night of Chilcote's re
turn to his own Loder tasted
the lees of life poignantly for
the first time. Before their
curious compact had been entered upon
he had been, if not content, at least
apathetic; but with action the apathy
had been dispersed, never again to re
gain its old position.
He realized with bitter certainty
that his was no real home coming. On
entering Chicote's house he had ex-
perienced none of the unfamiliarity,
none of the unsettled awkwardness,
that assailed him now. There he had
almost seemed the exile returning aft
er many hardships; here, in the atmos-
phere made common by years, he felt

mans character that sentimentalities
found no place in his nature. Senti-
ments were not lacking, though they
lay out of sight. but sentimentalities
he altogether denied.
Left alone in the sitting room after
Chilcote's departure, his first sensation
was one Of physical discomfort and
unfamiliarity. His own clothes, with
their worn looseness, brought no sense
Of friendlineSs such as some men find
in an old garment. Lounging and the
clothes that suggested lounging had no
appeal for him. In his eyes the garb
that implies responsibility was sym
bOlic and even inspiring.
And as with clothes so with his
actual surroundings Each detail of
his room was familiar, but not one had

AT THE CIRCUS
We do Things at the Big Show We Would Not do
Elsewhere and Never Make Kick About the
Inconvenience of the Thing.

a "ten.twenty and thirty" show we
would make an awful kick. We do it
at the circus and seem to relish it.
Then again if we got jostled around
and squeezed into jelly on a public
street, or even in theatre, we would
make terrible kick. We stand for
1t at the circus without a kick and
we drink acid lemonade at the circus
that we would turn up our noses at
if it was offered us any other place.
More than that we pay a cent a
piece at the circus for burned pea
nuts that we would not take gratis
at any other place. We pay extra for
reserved seat If we feel the need of
one, and kick when someone charges
us ten cents for an ice cream soda we
could buy elsewhere for five cents.
But what's the use of kicking any,
way? All of us stand for things at

other place.

One Hundred and Eleven Extracted
From Mares Lower Jaw.

A very strange case in veterinary
surgery has recently come to notice.
Dr.. friedrich of this city was called
to the residence of J. N Alexander in
the vicinity of Magnolia. A young
mare belonging to Alexander had not
been eating for sometime and was
growing weak and thin. On examin-
ing the mare he found~a large knot
or dental tumor along the lower Jaw.
After probing around for some time
he found the cause of the growth
and extracted Ill teeth from the tu-
NOR. DR. friedrich stated that he has
the Ill teeth at his office at the press
ent time. Some, he states, are as
large as lima bean. Since the oper-
alton the horse has been improving
rapidly.

The North Dakota Pr0digal

Occasionally a good man gets
dissatisfied with North Dakota.
The milk is too yellow or the
honey too sweet and he didn't
like TO have it flow over his land
anyway.
So he parts with his land and
he sells his livestock land other
things too numerous to men
tion' at the public auction, and
moves to Washington.
There he takes his good North
Dakota money and buys a farm
that tbs today and tomorrow tbs
not. because the wind has blown
it away.
Or he tries Colorado and
lslushes around in the mud, irri-
eating a strip OF mud bottom,
so narrow that a COW can't
Jump in, because she jumps over.
Then he hears of Texas, and he
goes to hunt the bag OF gold at
the end of the rainbow.
LII the day time he scratches
the SAND burs out Of his flesh
and at night the tarantula nib
bles his toes, and the centipede
crawls over his face.
Perchance he has enough
money left to take him to Cana
da. When his money is all gone
he begins to feel like the first
night he was away from home.
Then he yearns for good old
North Dakota and that yearn
sticks in his throat and chokes
him till tears come in his eyes.
He would give a months work
again to see the old COW grazing
on his North Dakota Home
stead, the sheep rollicking on the
meadow of buffalo grass, and
his horses fatteniDg on hay alone.
Memory is a wonderful painter
and paints the things we have
lost.
1t pictures to the wanderer the
broad fields OF wheat waving
drowsily SO far as the eye can
see, the flax, whose pale blue
blossoms foretell a glorious crop,
the prairie grass stretching away
in carpet Of green, with myr-
lads OF beautiful flowers giving it
Just the right splendor and per-
fume, richer than the rugs of the
Persians.
Perchance he happens to look
in another direction and sees his
neighbor turning over the virgin
sod, as black as night, and mar
velously fertile.
Happy is the man who wakes
and finds that he has wandered
from wonderful North Dakota
only in a dream.

No Word From Bishop.

With each succeeding week, no
word comes from missing James
Bishop and it is a generally ac-
copied theory that he is dead.
Attic many water holes near his
home have been dragged, no
trace of the missing man has
been found. Some of the holes
are very deep. The man may
have become tired of life and
committed suicide or he may
have been done away with.
