after all these years but he has certainly
earned a vacation from long and exactinq
responsibilities. Howard City Record.

everything in connection with the hotel
business including the bus line outfit. the
consideration being $4,000.

The Greatest Cavern
In The World
From Page 4

After travelling for some distance, fairly
entranced with the myriads OF beautiful
stalactites and stalagmites above and be-
low, at length we came into the FIRST
grand auditorium and the guides flashed
their lights toward the majestic dome and
words cannot picture the beauty OF the
scene. | have seen many beautiful scenes
in the mountains, the snow capped and
frost covered peaks glistening in the
morning sun, the dome Of heaven with It's
millions Of twinkling stars, but this sight
was grander by far than all OF them.
After travelling for some distance we
came to the Bridge OF Signs and it was
while standing on this wonderful forma-
ton that the greatest beauty OF the
wonderful dome was visible, for looking
up we were informed that the height OF
this dome was 452 feet. have stood IN
the capitol at Minnesota and gazed high
up into its lofty dome but this was but a
trifle compared to the beauty of the dome
at which we we're then gazing.
After we had crossed the Bridge OF
Signs we were informed that we had
stood but moment before over pit 50
feet in depth. The next object OF interest
was what the guide was pleased to point
out to us as the Angels Rest This was a
niche or groove in the rock in which we
could see many various fantastic beauties
looking much like the pictures which some
of our artists have pictured as the repre-
sentation Of angelic forms. This was
very beautiful picture indeed. The guide
next called our attention to what ne
termed the Dancing Brownies as illus
trsted in the Ladies Home Journal and
other publications and in the fllckerlng
lights sure enough il seemed that the
little fellows had found their home in this
mysterious realm and were even ther
revealing in the delightful atmosphere
whose temperature was So degrees.
As we travelled on a little further the
guide turned to me and asked me it was
interested in music. | replied that ! wa:
greatly interested in it but always founc
it necessary for someone else TO furnish
it. He then said will take you to the
piano and and the rest began to wonder
how on earth they ever succeeded in get
ting a piano down in that place. Oul
wonderment was greatly increased wher
on arriving at small cavern like roou
he pointed to numerous stalactites anc
picking up good sized mallet handed i
to one Of the ladies in the party and asked
her to play, telling her to strike thu
various columns and as she did so ricf
volume of music floated out from each o
the columns and made the sweetest tones

Wednesday morning about two o'clock
Robert Hale was awakened by the bark
ing OF dogs and on going to the field
found they we're doing sorry work among
his flock Of sheep having already injured
sixteen and since then eleven have died.
AS he reached the woods he opened fire
on them but was unable in the darkness
to fetch them down. He has now Sc
cured heavier loaded shells and hopes to
kill them on the spot il they make another
visit. A week before E. r. Dunlap had
all of his flock but two killed by the

most intense darkness one can imagine.
As some would say il was blaeksr than

what seemed very long time we be-
came tired Of this awful darkness and be-
gan to look for a match to rslght our
torches but my friend, being smoker
had used his last match and, not being a
smoker myself. | failed to find one and
we were oomeplled to sit there in the
awful darkness. awaiting the pleasure of
the guide. After some little time, away
in the distance, we began to see what
ooked like the breaking of morn and far
down the avenue the light continued to in
crease gradually until the reflection OF the
guides lamp on the stalactites brought to
our view one OF the most magnificent
sunrses the human eye had ever rested
upon. AS gazed at the beautiful spec
tacle my mind became more active and
thought that any being who could produce
such wonder, any being who could Gre
ate brain to appreciate it, any being
who could make an eye and place pupil

wonders, was worthy Of the name of Al
mighty God.
The speaker carried his audience into
many other parts OF the wonderful cave
but time and space will not permit Of
further detail. Take it all in all it was a:
interesting lecture as has fallen to tn,

The continued and long protracted cold
spring has brought the price Of hay in this
city up to price that is almost prohbi-
tive. Last Tuesday fine load Of timothy
was sold here at Sic per ton or four-fifths
Of cent per pound. The present high
price cannot maintain long as new hay
will soon be on the market, but when hay
approaches so closely to the cent pound
price, it is safe to say that hay is hay.

a few Rules for Telephone Users.

The telephone is utility that may
easily be, and often is, abused. Some
people delight To ''cut in" on party
line and retail the conversations they
hear as gossip for the neighborhood.
Others use it as a sort of toy, or make
it nuisance by perpetual.y calling up
people for the fun of the thing, making
others wait who want to speak on inn
portant business. Here are a few rules,
the observance of which would facilitate
the work Of central and preserve the
telephone as wonderful help to the
businessmen:
Don't call a man to the telephone for
a soeiable chat during business hours.
Don't waste the time of other people
by talking longer than necessary.
Don't jolly central and keep others
waiting. Give central your number only
Anything more is an imposition on the
other subscribers
Don't use the business or Office tele-
phone to carry on personal CONVERSE
ton.
Don't relate gossip over the wire. If
you must tell it, write it.
Don't use the telephone at all unless
you have something to say.
