Mr.. Hayes has not decided just
where he will locate the mill, but

district, possibly Houston.
The mill has a daily capacity of
i, 900 barrels and is said to be one
of the best equipped in the South.

Effects Badly Worn.

A scientific gentleman in Wash
ingtOn recently returned from
South America, bringing with him,
not as the fruits of his labors, but
merely for the purpose of science, a
collection Of Patagonian skulls. At
New York the customs officers open
ed the chest containing the skulls,
duly inspected them and Informed
the scientist that the consignment
must be classed as animal bones and
as dutiable at SO much per pound.
Whereupon the scientific gentleman
evinced great indignation. After
some parley the customs people
agreed to submit the matter to the
treasury department if the way bin
were revised in a way they suggest
ed. The result was that the way
bill was altered to read as follows:
"Chest of native skulls. Person

telephone man recently, (which will
prove interesting to telephone users

with the transmitter. Now; this
was where my experience as a tele
phone man served me well. Nine
times out Of ten the subscriber, II
the matter was pressing, would rur
over to a neighbours and use his tel

receiver from my ear and use it to
speak through. l told the girl at

of order and that l was using the
receiver. l got the connection all
right and managed to make myself
understood. The receiver being not

people suppose, but a telephone in
