To a Singer.

A well known singer has cautioned
her pupils when singing in small
room to face her audience and not
the piano against the wall, as it
fattens the tone Of voice aud makes
really beautiful voice less melodi-
Gus. Even a singer playing her
own accompaniment will place the
piano in the central portion of the
stage and face the audience. A timid
singer finds genuine relief in turning
from the audience, facing the piano,
though an experienced teacher Will,
at the start, interrupt this procedure.

HAS BEEN LONG PENDING
Controversy Has Reached Point
Where Proposal to Arbitrate Has
Been Made and Rejected.


e Edgington telephone owners held a
meeting at the hall last evening, a
hundred or more representing all the
lines centering at that place being
present. The subject up for eonsid
Grafton was a proposition from the
Taylor Ridge association respecting
resumption of mutual connections
which were broken off some months
ago. Edgington voted to reject the
offer and apparently the breach is as
wide as ever.
When The first mutual lines were
built in Edgington township they cen
tered at Edgington and paid theiI
switch dies there. Later connec
ton was made at Taylor Ridge by

forcibly-that the college home talent
is capable of giving a program equal
If not superior to any furnished by a

two of the lines but the dues were
still paid at Edgington pending an adj
justment. Several months ago when
Taylor Ridge put in a new switch
board the two Edgington lines were
not connected up and thus communi
cation between the two places was
cut off, causing much Inconvenience,
Subsequently Edgington proposed to
arbitrate the trouble but Taylor Ridge
tabled the communication and made
proposition to make the connection
again provided the switch dues be
divided between the two centers and
offered to bear half the expense o.
building aetrunk line between Edging
ton and Taylor Ridge for general use
Justice Not Disputed.
Apparently Edgington does not dis
pute the justice of the Taylor Ridge
contention but takes exception to the
abrupt cutting off of communication
which was done, it is declared, with
out formal notice 1t is also claimed
that the two lines involved in the
controversy are not anxious them
selves for connection at Taylor
Ridge and, being supreme in the con
troll of their own affairs, the Edging
ION association cannot compel then
to abide by any settlement arrived at
Arbitration, it is pointed out, would
give all parties hearing.

A Lithuanian Funeral.

On Sunday morning a strange funer-
al cortege passed through the Mission
streets The hearse was followed by
procession of women walking in the
middle of the street They wore dark
skirts trimmed with bands OF lace
embroidery, or colored strips, and all
wore aprons, some of black silk or
cloth, but more of sheer white en-
brOtdered corners, and fringed shawls
were over their shoulders. 1t was not
uniform, but more in the nature of
holiday attire such as one sees In
italy and France on carnival occasions
or fete days. The men in the process
sion wore conventional dress. but their
bearded faces were not American. In
curing as to the nationality of these
odd figures who made such a strange
picture in San Francisco, found they
were Lithuanians and that there Is a
large colony of them here, mostly en-
ployed at laundry over toward the
Potrero.-San Francisco Call.

stray penny found it's way into the
little chubby hand, and sticks of gum
were dropped in quite as though by
accident Judge Williams drifted into
the shop the other afternoon for a
hair cut. The lad recognized the fact
that the Judge was new patron. and
so was more than ordinarily inter

OF the chair and looked musingly at
the judges bald head. Then he
walked slowly to the back Of the

Of hair from that point OF vantage

trust That you will send for me;
ON me. you always may depend.
III come 20 you. whcrc'er / be-
surely there is some better man
who'll gladly take yoa FOR his wife:
30 IND him-I am sure you can
I'll be your brother all through life
Oh. tell MS, girls. how does It sound.
To hear the talk you've handed out.
Now Leap Years twisted things around?
How does IT sound when sweethearts
nout
four tond proposals. as you've done.
Ana all your hopes are put to sleep2
Dost thou think this brother talk is FUN?
How do you like 10 loop the leap?
