pole down and guarded by young
and beautiful girl, Charlotte Hillman,
famed locally for her girlish charms.
Even the warhardened Sheridan

You have all seen The boy in the

point out and say: "Well if that boy
don't die in the penitentiary I'll be
badly fooled" Well nine times oul

n success in this life.
Give the boys a chance. Permit
them 10 run, jump and shout. They
Ira loaded with enthusiasm and il
Just has To explode. Give tnem a
chance.
Some of the people act as though a
boy had no rights in This world. II
he's quiet mes planning mischief; If
he's noisy. he's terror.
From the appearance of some peo-
pies front laws one would never be-

An obedient child is q rare thing
these days. Most, children argue
with their paren,s upon every thing
that trey are requested to do.
Away down deep in mothers

Queer telegraph Poles.

difficult to find that even the ordinary
household furniture of the natives is
invariably made MOI of wood, but of
dried mud or adobe. So wnen the
war broke out between Chile and b.
livia and telegraph line became ur-
gent it was abode that was chosen
for the queerest telegraph poles in ex-
istence. These pillars were built in
stone foundations and measured about
5 feet square at Ire base, with u
height of about 10 feet.
They were placed AT intervals of
about 361 feet. and thus held tine wire
at height sufficien, TO clear the only
animals of the country, tire llama and
the donkey. The total length of the
line was 156 mi es.
Among other curious telegraph lines
is the growing pole line erected in
Uganda by an English engineer, VINO

would withstand TIE white ants, and
nit upon the idea OF Transporting
growing bark clolh trees to the side
of the roads and using tnem as poles.
This system has been used for 10
years or more.
In the Du,ch East Indies growing
trees are turned TO account also. But
there wire is stretched across the
road between lie trees on eiLher side,

middle, and tie lire is thus over the
