their prospects. had interesting cen

was so much impressed with their intel

became imbued with their enthusiasm.
They are the kind of men who command
success in any enterprise in which they
may engage. Many of them are the child.

The settlers in your valley, have no such
difficulties to encounter, ds the early
pioneers. who were liable to fall victims
to the prowing savages at any moment,

Not Satisfied With Change

Engineer Farwell, for the New Mexico
Fuel & Iron Co.. was in town Wednesday,
plating the block of ground between
Fifth street and the railroad tracks for
business lots This ground was intended
for park purposes, and has always been
talked of in that way, in aiding in selling
the lots, on the west side of Fifth street.
Fifth street has been cut down TO an eighty
foot road, which is anything but satisfact.
ory to our businessmen. After purchas.
ing building lots facing broad avenue and
overlooking a park, it does not appear
quite right to them to be compelled to be
hedged on a narrow road, with the view
from the railroad shut off.

Japanese servants long. ago won, bv
their industry and efficiency, the re-

that range from $50 to $75 a, month.
Their yellow servants of other races
are just as appreciative of their abili-
ties: They know, that they can, be
relied on to do their own work and all
that, the other servants neglect. -

maids are hired. y. to accomplish in a

carry the bundles of clothes upstairs.
He is delighted to run errands for the
cook and is amiable enough to help the
Kitchen maid to peel potatoes when she

All this aid and comfort to his fellow
servants is given with no neglect to
his masters. business. So there as
nothing for the housekeeper to saw
against: his varied effciencies. se- :, :

making servants more lazy and care
less than before. He usually does

ALL-PERVADING PHONE
It Has Become Indispensable Alike for
Social and Business Purposes.

Ralph Bergengren in the World Today.
The telephone habit once &C
CURED by the use Of the instrument in
business offices gained unquestionably
tremendous impetus when womankind
discovered that the instrument is
equally available for social purposes
to say nothing of the sweet delight Of
shopping or the sad necessity of going
to market. In New York and Boston
important department stores have
lately been finding profit in taking
telephone orders during the night and
delivering Tggo the goods early in the %4rn
expression of what has been called the
"telephone door, Of business. And
in nearly every retail industry in our
larger cities there are from one to
several employees who might we'll be
called telephone clerks' and whose
special qualification is working famil-
iarlty with the telephone as shopping
medium.
Not only do the large modern hotels
carry telephone instrument in every
room, but department stores are even
now inaugurating a system of tele-
phones. at every counter, thus putting
verbal touch with the clerk with whom
he or she is accustomed to doing bust
ness-a system that includes hundreds
of instruments in each department
store that employs it. In these same
cities, and in many smaller ones, grocers
call up their. customers by telephone
and take the daily order without the
| expenditure of time needed for a per.
sonal visit.
The large city restaurant does much
of its marketing in the same fashion
! and often uses the instrument at rush
hours to obtain a given article Of food
temporarily exhausted from it's larder
even while the prospective eater is
only be ginning the first course of his
dinner. And the man Of business in
New York or Boston, as he sits at his
hotel table, may order telephone an6

lunching in Chicago. Police depart
and railroads are making it an import
ant part of their signal service.

MAIL DEPENDS ON ROADS
Bad Condition of Highway Results in
Suspension Of Service.

NEW RICHMOND. wIs-The postoffice de-
partment has begun here the enforcement Of its
rule that farmers must keep the roads in good,
passable condition If the free rural delivery
service is to be continued. AS consequence
many farmers in the town of Erin Prairie,
formerly served by rural route No. of Bald
win wis, find themselves without the seGvice,
and they claim that the fault is not theirs. but
that of others nearer Baldwin: Efforts are now
being made to secure service from this city.
The. postoffice department requires good, pass
able highways open to travel the whole year
round, as one Of the conditions which free
rural deliv cry service is granted and maintained
The officials are giving more attention to this
matter of highways than ever before, and similar
orders will he made covering other localities if
the farmers are negligent in the matter Of roads.
+ All the inspection work for the proposed county
system Of rural free delivery for st. Croix
county is now complete. and 1t is expected that
the complete service covering the entire county
will be ordered at no distant date.
Postmaster Franc A. r. Van Meter has been
reappointed by President Roosevelt. There was
practically no opposition, it being taken for
granted that Postmaster General Cortelyou's
policy of retaining in office those postmasters
with excellent records would hold good in this
case. s. .
