Patience at tho Telephone.

Patience at the Telephone.
The telephone is of great con-
vepience and offers so easy and
quick a means of communica-
ton, says the Waterman, that
it is a severe disappointment to
hear the response of the opera
tor, cline busy" or to have
someone on the line break in
with a call. A new habit of pa
thence must be cultivated in
which one can bear delays with
knowledge that there are 9th
ers on the line, and the whole
system of telephoning is one of
much complexity. "New occa-
sions teach new duties" in re-
spect to telephoning. There's
often a strong suspicion that
the operator is not honest in
saying cline busy" but on the
other hand, the communication
is often made with remarkable
quickness. All the Christian
graces are needed at the tele-
phone, and Christian character
is tested in its use.

but twelve years of age and in 1854 he
came with his father James Slater, to
Crawford county where he lived the
remainder of his life.
The trip to the great west was a
large undertaking in those days. The
family went by boat to Albany,
thence to Buffalo by rail, then by boat
to Chicago, by rail to Rock Islard,
and thence by wagon across the
prairies to this county.
Mr.. James Slater settled on Sec. 10
of East Boyer township and the home
soon became famous for it's hospital
ity, reputation which the family has
fully sustained for more than half a
century In the little log cabin, built
where the Slater home now stands,
Solomon w. Slater passed the days
of his young manhood. He withstood
all the hardships of pioneer life and
laid the foundations Of that sturdiness
of character that remained with him
to the end In those days Council
Bluffs and Sioux City were the nearest
market points and young Slater found
it his task to make the overland
trips for the family provisions.
At the age of seventy-two his
father died, but he left his son al
ready we'll equipped for the duties and
the trials of life. Mr.. Slater remained
on the old place, improving it, build
ling up home, providing for his
children and earning place in the
community which shall stand as the
best possible monument to his mem
ory.
At the age of twenty-seven he was
married to Miss Sarah Winans, a
daughter of Clark Winans, another
whose name is indissolubly linked
with Crawford's early history. To
this union one son, Henry, was born.
The wife and mother died in 1865
and three years later Mr.. Slater mar
ried Mary Winans, sister of his
former wife. Never was home
circle more happy and complete, the
little ones grew up about them, grew
to manhood and to womanhood, grew
in the presence of their parents love
into maturity which was the pride
of their father and their mother S
hearts.
Mr.. Slater was not ambitious for
preferment he was content with the
\ peace and comfort of the home circle
He accepted those minor offices which
! the people of his township thrust upon
s. him and in all of these he did his
duty. g

LITTLE FOLKS PLEASE ALI
Numbers Are Turned Away From the
Capacity. Children Do Sp'endidly.

With standing room only and people
being turned away the school children
delighted everyone on Saturday night.
The gallery had been reserved for
the children and this made very ex-
cellent way of dealing with diff
cult matter as nearly two hundred
children took part. The program
opened with charming Japanese
fan drill given by girls from Miss
Rains room. The girls were win
some "little maids from school" and
this drill started the program off in
great shape. Then the dear little
kindergarten tots appeared, dressed
in white with dolls. The kindergar-
ten and infant classes alwayshave the
right of way and this number was
warmly welcomed.
Inez Lally then gave an excellent
recitation. The convicts Christmas

justice.
The motion song by Miss Kelly's
room proved to be snappy little
seesaw song and the boys and girls
did their part very we'll. The Rainy

very difficult thing to do. The song
"I'm Off to Philadelphia in the
Morning, was very funny and we'll

there was in the song out of it and so
did their hearers who cheered loudly.
This closed the miscellaneous pro-
gram that had been delightful and
opened the patriotic part. Miss

the girls very attractive in white

and teachers. The Colonial Minuet

often gazed upon. The stately measure
was tread with all the formality and

fine and the children very graceful.
John Norris at the close sang taking

also sang solo.

Miss Thompson S room was remarkably
we'll done and showed hard drill
ing. Then came the Soldiers drill
from Miss Kalb's and Miss Norris

and was fine close to an excellent

ENRAGEs HIM.

Pat had his first experience
with lawyer last week, although
he had ben thirty-three years in
this country. While passing q
twelve story apartment hotel in
course of construction on upper
Broadway three months ago, he
was struck by a falling brick.
He received painful injuries of
the head, ,and for;forty eight hours
was unconscious: After he got
out of the hospital Pat placed his
case in the hands of a Nassa street
lawyer who took it up on a spec
ulation arrangement.
The lawyer made a settlement
with the building company, and
notified Pat to call on him. Al
noon hour Pat walked into the
lawyers Office, wearing an expec-
tant smile, and was cordially
greeted.
"Glad to see you, Pat" said the
lawyer. He took a roll of bills
out of his pocket and counted of
ten yellow back twenty dollar
bills. He handed the two hun.
dred to Pat.
"Shake!" said Pat, fairly bub.
bling over with joy. He bid the
lawyer best of health and starsed
for the door. He turded round
suddenly saying:
allow much did you get out o
the case?"

replied the lawyer.
Pat studied for moment an,
then shouted: "Say, who tn
devil got hit with that brick?"

to make peace with Pat.

A SLEEPY LITTLE
DEVIL

Once upon a times as the story
says, a man dreamed that he was
travelling, and came to a little
church; and ohanoing to look up,
saw perohed on the spire little
ugly devil fast asleep
He went along little further
and came to little log hut. which
was surrounded by CIRCLE of little
blbok devils all wide awake.
The man inquired of one of them
what it all meant; and the little bad
man answered; II will tell you
That whole ohuroh back there is
asleep, and one little devil can take
care of all the people; but in that
cabin are an old man and his wife
who pray; they have more power
than that whole church, and they
keep a whole gang of us hustling to
no effect. ."-E1ohange.
