nERIIAPS the most remarkable phase of modern
T. social development is exhibited in the great
change which within the last few years has
taken place in the condition of the American farmer
lie IS no longer man alOOf from most of the ac-
t'vitics of the wOrld-ignOrant of its larger affairs
and pursuing a sort of vegetative existence with
small opportunity to make the best of the brains he
possesses, and condemned, together with his wife
and family, to all of the multitude of discomforts
incidental to relative isolation. A new order of
things has arrived and he finds himself to-day
possessed of practically all the advantages which
are enjoyed by the dweller in cities
For example, there is the telephone which the
farmers have shown themselves both able and willing
to install and manage The extent which this has
already been accomplished is by means generally
Iealzed At the present time about half a million
iarnSteadS IN the United States provided with
telephones, which as a rule have been put in by
tarIl erS cooperative associations formed for the
purpose. the subscribers in many instances cutting

while, where the simplest outfits are installed it is
sometimes less than four dollars year.
Expansion of the Service
THE beginning of rural telephone system is a
l. combination OF few farmers who are enabled
to dispense with a switchboard by adopting pre-
arranged calls each subscriber recoqnizinp Certan
another group not far distant; and after awhile
communication is established with the nearest
town. Naturally, congerleS OF little systems thus
started IS likely to develop eventually into big
system, with first class service, covering a wide
area ana reaching many points far from the rail
roads and inaccessible by telegraph
Indeed, in parts of Indiana and Ohio within the
territory embraced by some of the larger systems

being at liberty to listen if he chooses In this wav
the farmers get the advantage of the freshest in

vantage to them enabling them, for example. to

WATCHES HIS AUDIENCE
William Mickey in ssDavid Harum"
Tomorrow Night ar Colonial
Theatre

William Mickey, who plays David
Harum.'' like many other actors and
Lecturers, always picks someone in his
audience to play To, and watches for
their approval or disapprovaI. lie
believes that fat men are usually good
natured and generally picks some cor
pulent gentleman in his audience to
act as sort Of human thermometer to
register the impression he is making
on his audience.
While playing IN Chicago a short
while ago he selected poTtIy man
in one Of the boxes. but was disap-
pointed in himself and the audience,
because not q feature Of the mans
face changed during the first two
acts Of the play. although Mickey did
his best TO make an impression on
his mascot. In the last act the Widow
Cullgm enters half frozen and is
given a drink Of brandy. The bottle
and glass are left on the table. Young
LenOx enters, and is IN such giee
because Aunt Polly, David's sister.
has fixed up a room for him in their
home, that be kisses her.
Harum enters at this point Of the
play and sees his sister Kissed by the
young man and finds the bottle and
the glasses, which he jocoseIy remarks
are the cause OF the biIaTity. At this
juncturc Haruu was going through
sort Of a pantOmime with the bottle
aud the glasses, the fat man in the
box laughed and cbeered yocifreOusIy.
After the curtain rang down Mickey
asked n stage hand who the man WAS,
and vas told that he was prominent
business man who was deaf. The
pantomime bad been the only thing TO
appeal to his sense Of bumor. Mickey
nov strives TO learn II his mascot can
hear before he selects him.
Mickey plays David HarUm here at
the Colonial Theatre tomorrow night /
