MILLIONS OF TELEeRAMs A YEAR
England Sends Almost e4,ooo,cCo ir
Welvemcnth.

According to the figures published
by the German imperial post office,
the record of sending the most tele-
grams in year belongs to the people
of England, who dispatched almost
94,00O,O00 during the year 1906 The
United States came next, with 65,-
100000, and then France with 5S,0OO,-
600. Germany occupied fourth place,
with 52,500.000 kilograms The Jap
anese figures are a, 100000, and those
for Russia only 2S,000o00, including
all the country's Asiatic possessions.
But Russia paid for them the large
sum of S20,675,000 while Germanys
the same period the American com
panies took in roughly S29,000,000. Of
the European countries Spain, for its
size, has the smallest telegraphic
traffic, the smallest number of miles
of wire and the smallest income pro-
portlonately to her population. So far
as mileage is concerned, the United
States leads all the other nations, but
no one who has resided abroad ever
fails to note how much more frequent
ly English and Germans use the tele-
graph for short distance communities
tons than is the case here, says the
New York Post. OF course, the devel-
opment of the telephone in this coun-
try, also far ahead of anything similar
in Europe, accounts in large measure
for this state of affairs.

GIRL DEFlED A WHOLE ARMY.

by Sheridan and his staff left Win

morning, the column moving toward
Stephens City Just as day was break
ing the staff reached the toll-gate and
was much discounted to find the toll
pole down and guarded by a young
and beautiful girl, Charlotte Hillman,
famed locally for her girlish charms.
Even the war-hardened Sheridan
seems not to have been proof against
the persuasion of pair of black eyes
and pretty face, and when toll was
demanded, straightway produced the

But" said Sheridan. as he passed
through the gate, 81 cannot vouch for
my army"
When the common soldiery came
the girl again lowered the toll-bar
and demanded toll. This was met
by jeers from the soldiers, where
upon she wisely raised the guard All
day the dusty troopers passed through
and all day Charlotte Hillman stood
at her post. For every ten soldiers
who passed the gate she cut a notch
in the toll-pole. Early fled beyond the
Blue Ridge with the remnants of his
disorganized army: in the Valley of
Virginia, Lee, beaten back by Grants
overwhelming numbers, gave up the
fight; in the southeast Joe Johnston
fired the last buMesque shots and

Washington had been re-established
and the administration policy was
one OF magnanimity. Charlotte Hill

pole and sent her bill to Washington.
