line on affairs connected with his
work. Mr.. Belknap is a graduate of
the Michigan Agriculture college in
the engineering course having just com

While in school he made a reputa-
ton for himself as an athlete and the
experience derived therefrom should
make him valuable man In connec-

For three years straight he won his
monogram on the cinder track and for

From One Booth to Another
Far Away.

The other day prominent business
to use telephone. Just before him
young woman with a large bouquet of
carnations had been using the phone
and when he went into the booth the
odor of the flowers nearly stifled him,
SO much so, in fact, that his intention
was to hurry the conversation and get
out as soon as possible. With the
thought Of the strong odor uppermost
in his mind, he lied a man at the
other side of the y. Without word
having been said on the subject, the
other man remarked about the strong
odor of carnations, and the man who
called up, without thinking, said
woman with some carnations had just
been using the phone on which he
was talking.
Hold the phone just minute"
said the man at the other end of the
line, and | will find out if there are
any of the flowers in the store.
After waiting for few moments he
again came to the telephone and said
that there were no carnations there
and that the clerk was positive that
there had been none in the store chat
