The telephone is frequently used in
q great hurry, and sometimes a person
whose mind for the moment IL distracted
neglects 70 ring of when he IL through
talking. The result ~ that Central
does not get signal ~ disconnect the
call, and Il may be a minute or more
before she finds out that the circuit il

The eonmoBer cause Of "bugy ~

large number Of subscribers who take
pariy-line service, especially NJ their

want 10 reach may not be using his
telephone when you call for il, but II
there are other Subscribers on the same
circuit the line may b. busy just the
same. And your friend may not know
that i is. That is why sometimes
when Central" tells you 1.-THE line Is
busy" your friend will shy afterwards
that he doesn't understand how that
could be, because he wasn't using the
telephone at all at the time you tried
70 call him.

"The Line Is Busy"

One OF the mysteries Of Central
TO most telephone users is how thu
operator can tell 80 quickly when "ths
line is busy" There are still few
people, perhaps, who believe that she
does not know, but simply reports a
number as busy 10 save herself trouble.
But anybody who uses the telephone
very much is perfectly well aware thai
the circuit is not reported AS being in
use unless il really is in use. II il

When you call up Central" she
connects herself with your line by
means Of a "cord" on the end Of which
is brass plug that fits closely into the
.'jack" or switch socket in which your
line terminates in the switchboard.
The connecting cords are arranged in
pairs. and when you give the operator
the number Of the telephone with
which you want 10 talk, she takes the
second cord Of the pair she Is using for
your call and touches the tip OF the
brass ping at the end Of il 70 the

papers were to have been made out Mon
day. He LETT the house short time be-
fore his wife found him, in his ordinary
state Of mind. He was 81 years old but
had been in poor health for some time.
A suicidal mania seems to have run in
the family as two uncles, brother. a
sister, and two cousins are said to have
taken their own lives.
E. F. Dutton, wealthy retired drug
gist of Barton committed suicide bv
hanging Monday morning. The day
previous he purchased tickets for himself

usual health and good spirits at break
fast time and about Is minutes later his
wife discovered him dead in the barn. A
note was found in which he directed his
wife to 60 and live with their daugh-
ter, who was an only child and lived in

JOhns0n-Higgins,

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. !. N. Gale in
Summerville was the scene of a pretty
wedding last Wednesday evening, when
their daughter, Miss Julia Belle Higgins,
was united in marriage to Bernard AL
bert Johnson. The parlor where the
ceremony was performed, was tastily
decorated with evergreen and white
flowers, and from the arch under which
the bride and groom stood, was sus-
pended white dove. The bride ac-
companied by her bridesmaid, Miss
Ouida Johnson, niece of the groom, and
the groom accompanied by his best man.
Lyman Gale, the BRIDES brother, de-
scended the stairs and entered the parlor
while the wedding march was played by
Mrs. Edna Blanchard. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. Edward T. Fair
banks. The brides gown was of TusicIoth
from the Philippines, over Liberty satin
and trimmed with dainty French lace.
She carried handkerchief of exquisite
Indian hand work. Her bouuet was
brides roses. The bridesmaid was
gowned in hand embroidered cream
silk and she carried white pinks.
The groom's present to the bride was
clover leaf pin set with shell pearls; his
gilt to the best man was signet scarf
pin, and the brides gift to the brides
maid was a chatelaine pin. After con-
CALCULATIONS had been extended ice cream
and cake were served in the dining room |
by Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson. This room was |
attractively decorated in pink and white

DOingS of the Police Court.

The police arrested two parties tn
past week, one for intoxication and thu
other for breach of the peace. Boil
parties pleaded guilty at their trial anC
paid their fines.
The two Laliberty boys were given q
hearing Wednesday and bound up to the
December term of the Caledonia county
court under bonds of $500 each. Bail
was furnished and the boys released from
custody.
The youthfulness of the boys has
elected the following suggestion from the
Brattleboro Phoenix which the GALE
DOMAIN heartily endorses
The account of the arrest of two bows,
Is and 10 years old, in st. Johnsbury,
contains one paragraph which we trust
will not escape general observation:
"The case of the little fellows has
aroused much sympathy for them. They
have no mother and it is understood
that they have been obliged practically
to care for themselves for some time
Here is a chance for Justice" stern,
compassionless, to railroad the kids
behind the bars for term of years, to
embitter their lives and fix them per-
manently in the criminal class. There is
also chance touse little humanitarian
tact, to show the boys the error of their
way and its inevitable fruit, to help and
encourage them to make something of
themselves and to have value to the
at large.
