PHONE HABIT A NUISANCE

Telephones, they say, are RESPONSE
BILE for more broken engagements and
bored husbands than any other one
thing. A set Of men smoking after
dinner at m Of the clubs this week
caid so, anyway, and several of them
are in a way of knowing. One Is
literally on the verge Of breaking his
engagement now because the girl in
sists upon calling him up at least
three times a day, If he isn't where
she thinks he should be at that hour
she trails him until he Is located,
says the New York Telegram. His
most strenuous game of bridge is
broken into at the club by her call
on the phone; he is made to leave
the ticker to bear her dulcet voice
amid the shouts of operators on the
floor of the exchange to ask If he
still loves her. AS though this were
not enough, she calls him in the
morning before he goes down town,
and II ever there was a man on the
verge of riot it is this one.
The curious part of it is the girl,
who is old enough to know better,
cannot be made to realize hat safety
is fatal and that, no matter how much
a man may care for her, he does not
enjoy sentiment during business
hours. Moreover, he does not care
TO have the yoke wired on, not even
by telephone, and women who are
prone to do this will do we'll to grasp

ing home, or when the Office boy Is
called upon by an irate or distracted
wife to furnish information, the men
after a bit grow hot in that region
OF the anatomy known as the collar.
But many wives seem to be oblivious
to the effect ard trouble reigns in the
household.
Fixed and immovable habits of de-
votion. by the way, sometimes have
their drawbacks. A certain man who
has been married for more than forty
years has called his wife az noon ev-
cry day without fail from his Office
since telephones were first installed.
He does not care IL she is not at
home to answer, but he wishes to find
out If all is right or II she wishes
anything. There have been days
when for n reason or another he
was delayed for an hour or more in
calling. If his wife is at home on
that day she almost dies Of nervous
prostration. for she Is certain that
something has happened to him. He
has either fallen dead OF heart fail
ure or has been crushed beneath the
wheels Of an automobile and she has
been a widow in her mind many times
over when the bell tinkles for his
call and serenity Is restored.

A most important discovery was
recently made by Warden Hook OF

were Of the most private nature.

introduced the scheme to other pris-
oners.
The nan confided his scheme to n
select number Of other prisoners. and
one of the letters written by this
same process got into the hands of
the warden. who o o learned all
about it. Prisoners are allowed to
send n letter a week from the insti-
tuition. but every letter that goes from
the jail Is either read by the warden
or n Of his subordinates. A certain
amount OF paper Is given each pris-
oner, and he is allowed to write on
but n side of the paper.
Instead of filling the entire side of
a piece of paper those who resorted
to the new scheme would leave a
space about an inch and a nalf deep,
which seemed apparently blank. But

through the discovery it was found
that the letters that got out of the in
stitution in this cute manner we're
full of writing.
The process used was . liquid acid
gotten in the institution. 1t was ex.
planned yesterday that the prisoner
had made a study of deceiving the
officials, and that he had gotten on
to the trick through some friends.
He used a fine stub pen with which
to write, and had to write quite fast
in order to get the acid to make an
impression.
The warden has since learned that
the man would have a fellow pris-
oner who was released from the insti-
tuition ahead of him go to the per-
sons houses to whom the letters
were addressed and tell them of the
scheme and how the letters could be
read. The letters had to be held over
heat in order to distinguish the i'm

writings could be read quite distinct.

Influenced by my own personal expe-
rience i'm business way ana IL was
because the transaction was with me
and effected me personally, taid our
friend. that | know it to be true and IT'S
terrible effect.
Years ago when / was much young
er, started q small store good safe
sistance from the coal mines in which
Elkins was interested. Elkins had a
"pick mel store at which his miners
were expected to buy. As his store was
large his goods were bought in car
load lots and he was thus able to sell
cheaper or make more money than
small fellow, but | got on and was
building up nice little trade on the
crumbs of business falling from the
big EIkins store. / got along for about
year and then the big man decided
the little fellow should move, said our
friend, and / was literally forced to
give up my little store or starve by the
direct order of Senator Stephen Ii
Elkins."
This is only one instance of thous-
ands in the career of this financial
giant. The experience of our friend
has been the experience of every one
who dared run counter to the interests
of the big boss. He has made his CO.
lossal fortune by just such methods.
If we mistake not there will be good
many honest Republicans who will
refuse to give their votes for the re-
election of this absorber.

DINKLE.
Mr.. Lewis Dinkle, one of the oldest
and most highly esteemed citizens of
Charles Town, died at his residence on
West Washington street Saturday
evening, on the nth year of his age.
He was native of York county, Pa,
but moved to Frederick county, Va,
in 1S49, and, with the exception of nine
wears spent in Grafton, w. Va, mas
lived for the past AZ years in this place;
life singularly free from reproach,
character above blame, unobtrusive,
unselfish, and considerate always CT
the welfare of others. In early life he
became a member of the Presbyterian
Church and remained to his end faith
ful in his Christian duties. AS hus-
band, father and friend he was con-
slant and devoted, as well as honest
and true in all his dealings with his
fellowmen. He possessed thought
full and vigorous mind, and was a lover
of reading, choosing the most instruc-
tive and profitable class of books; and
his musical ability was considerable,
he having been organist in his church
for many years. His illness was pro
tracted through many months, but,
through all, he was cheerful and I'M
complaining, and when at last the enc
