THE -TO-DATE GROCER
5Ol-3 North Fourth Street
Telephone I35-y
LONG DISTANCE POLITENFsS

'Being polite over the telephone is
one Of the most up-to-date forms of
courtesy says a recent magazine
writer. "There is always a tendency
when a person first uses the convenient
instrument to feel that because he isn't
talking to anybody face to face he
needn't be so civil as in ordinary con-
Yersation." This is one of the element
airy lessons that the Wisconsin TeIe-
phone Company seeks to impart to all
It's employees. They are under orders
above all things else to refrain from
showing irritation or being unneces-
sarily voluble when using the COM
pany's lines. In these days when ev-
erybody has a telephone everybody is
learning to use it as civilized being
should, with due regard for the sensi-
bllIties Of the unseen person at the
other end. The Bell telephone COM
panies have set this example by train
ing their operators to speak gently and
courteously. sThe politeness costs moth
ing and it promotes a pleasant feeling
toward the company.

In the Taproot of an Oak.

l remember a curious incident con-
nected with the taproot of an oak
This oak, a good tree of perhaps 200
years growth, was; being felled at
Brakeman wood when the woodmen
called attention to something peculiar
on the taproot. On clearing this Of
soil we found that the object was q
horseshoe of ancient make. Obviously
in the beginning an acorn must have
fallen into the hollow Of this cast
shoe, and as it grew through the slow
generations the root filed up the cir
Gle, carrying it down into the earth in
the process of its increase till at
length we found wood and iron thus
strangely welded. That taproot with
the shoe about it is now or used to be.

Reade's pramatic Failures.

It was not until 1856, when Charles
Reade was forty-two, that he obtained
reputation as a novelist, q reputation
to which he did not aspire, for it was
his ambition to be q dramatist. From
the beginning of his career until the
last year Of his life he wrote play aft
er play, every one of them a failure
and he alone refusing to believe it. He
attributed their want of success to ev-
cry cause but the right one, and he
went on squandering the money gained
from his more successful novels on
the production Of bad plays. THE ac-
tors are buffers, SIR" he would say,
''who have defiled my composition,
mixed ditch water with my cham
payne, murdered my work." and he
would pour out maledictions on the
heads Of all who had anything to do
with the unfortunate piece, from seen
ic artist to super, never conceiving
that he himself was the sole culprit.
And yet, as his novels show, he had
dramatic ability of a high order and
could produce the most thrilling eff
fects and situations. He wrote two or
three dramas in collaboration with
Tom Taylor and Dion Boucicault that
had brief success, but apart from
these he never wrote play that met
with the slightest degree of popular
favor

An IInohseruino Thief

Yosouf owned beautiful horse
which was very valuable. While Yo-
souf was transacting business a thief
stole the horse. The owner shortly
afterward saw the thief leading his
horse and took him before the kaid. or
judge
''The horse is mine." sturdily insist
ed the thief.
In vain the other argued, and the
kaid was about to give his decision In
favor of the villain when Yosouf adj
vanced suddenly. threw his cloak over
the horses head and demanded of his
enemy:
"Since you own the horse, tell the
kaid in which eye the animal is blind"
"In the left" said the thief, making
a wild guess.
Yosouf looked toward the kaid tri-
umphantly. "He's blind in neither
eye," said he.
So the noble horse came into its
rightful owners possession again, and
the wicked Arab was punished.
