Misuse of the Telephone.

Calling a husband up maliciously on
the telephone, day and night, has been
ruled in Massachusetts, not to be an
actionable misdemeanor in wife.
The judge added, however, by way of
gratuitous observation, this: 81 think
that one having a telephone in his
house could enjoin person from con-
tinuously ringing him up day and
night upon unimportant matters which
he had no right to do, to the loss of
sleep and rest to the occupant and to
his great annoyance" With new
methods of communication come new
subjects for lawyers and the rest of
us to discuss. Take rural free deliv-
cry, for instance. With the telephone,
says Golfers, this is changing the
most important aspects of country life.
Some persons oppose it because,
among other reasons, it costs money.
Such persons would probably oppose
the mail service if it were a newer
question. The rural free delivery, like
every means of intercourse, will not
be set back, but rather be larger fac
tor constantly in our civilization. Mr..
Olmsted, the great landscape gardener
who did so much to ruralize the cities,
said that still more important duty
was to urbanize the country, making
it more attractive and more nourish-
ing to the mind than the tenements of
a slum.

EST OF AN AMERICAN.
Habit of Neatness Established Ma
tionaIity to Observant Boy.

A young American who recently
completed a course of study in an
English university brought home as
a souvenir of his residence in that
classic place a decided English ac-
cent, says the New York Press. He
stopped the other day at a downtown
bootblack's stand to get his shoes
shined. The boy who attended to the
cleansing process smiled upon him
Familiarity.
When you first began to come
here" he said, 81 took you for an Eng
lishman. You talked like one, but 1
know now you amt"
How did you find that out?" asked
the American, obviously somewhat
disappointed
Because you get your shoes shined
so often" was the startling reply. IF
you were an Englishman you wouldn't
do that. Nobody takes such good care
of their shoes as Americans. If 1t
were not for their daily shine a lot
of us fellows would have to go out of
business and the sale of backing and
polish would fall off one-half. Next
to Americans, Russians get a shine
most frequently. The English are the
worst OF all. They get shine only
once a week. Even when otherwise
well dressed their shoes are gray and
out of shape. If ever you want to
pass yourself off for an Englishman
you'll have to cut out all this polish
ing. With such spick ad span shoes
even an accent that you can cut with
a knife won't carry you through"

QUARREL ENDS IN SHOOTING.
Young Man is Probably Fatally
Wounded in Cy LeIand's Store.

Troy, Kans., Nov. s. Sam Lewis
was shot and probably fatally wound
ed here late tonight as the result of
quarrel with c. u. Chirley, a young
man employed as a clerk in Cy Lee
lands general merchandise store.
The cause of the shooting is not
known. Shirley refuses to discuss it,
but it was evidently of long standing
Lewis walked into the Leland store
late tonight while Shirley was wait
ing on a customer. He called the
clerk to the rear of the store while
the latter was in the midst of wrap
Ding a bundle. When the two
reached the back part of the store
they began to quarrel violently, when
Lewis suddenly struck Chirley and
knocked him down. AS the latter
rose Lewis started to attack him
again, when Shirley drew a revolver
from his rocket and fired, the bullet
taking effect two inches above the
nipple and lodging under the should
er blade. The physicians say that
the would is quite serious.
Shirley was evidently expecting
trouble of some kind as he was armed
when Lewis came into the store.

HARD TO SEE.
Even When the Facts About Coffee
Are Plain.

1t is curious how people will refuse
to believe what one can clearly see.
Tell the average man or woman
that the slow but cumulative poison
Gus effect of caffeine-the alkaloid in
tea and coffee-tends to weaken the
heart, upset the nervous system and
cause Indigestion, and they may laugh
at you if they don't know the facts.
Prove it by science or by practical
demonstration in the recovery of cof-
fee drinkers from the above condi-
tons, and a large per cent of the
human family will shrug their shout
ders, take the drugs and-keep on
drinking coffee or tea.
Coffee never agreed with me nor

presses and creates a feeling of lam

leaving off coffee and using Postum
that we discovered the cause and cure

The only reason, am sure, why
Postum is not used altogether to the

EDUCATIONAL.
The Zulu War Cry,

The Zulu war cry, used whenever
they take the field by the South Afri-
can footballers now in London, has
puzzled our newspapers, not one of
which seems able to spell it correctly,
says Notes and Queries. The Daily
Express gives it as 'Igamilzho," and
the Daily Mail as "Gammillo." The
cry really consists of two words, and
should be written 'Igama layo."
"Igama" is Zulu for name" and
"layo" is a possessiye pronoun, mean
ing either his or their" Thus the
Daily Mail, although quite wrong in
it's photography of the cry, is right in
saying that it merely means That is
his name" The explanation is that
Zulu etiquette does not allow warriors,
when they rush into battle, to men,
ton the names of their enemies, but
the leaders shout out, THAT is his
name pointing to the victims with
their spears.
