Got the Gall, Too.

The telephone is a modern con-
venience and a blessing to man
kind, but like every other good
thing it is much abused. Men pay
for such convenience for business
purposes and business should have
preference over all conversations
on all lines at all times. A strik-
ing instance the misuse of the tele-
phone occurred at Hartville recently
when a gentleman from Mansfield
called county officer and was talk
ing to him about taxes on some
property when a woman stopped by
saying. Say, you people wait a
minute" Sally Say, Sally, l
took the lard off of eight hogs, yes
terday." Just at this juncture the
gentleman at the court house re-
covered sufficiently to say, Yes,
and you got the gall too, l think" -

El-0ued.

El-oued, the city of a thousand
cupolas," lies in the far south of AL
geria, upon the edge of Sahara,
where sand dunes roll away in I'M
dulation after undulation, until
they at last blend imperceptibly
with the horizon. Situated on the
oasis called Souf, this place pos
seSses considerable strategic inn
portance But of far greater i'm
portance to the visitor is its dis
tinctly Oriental charm, which
stamps it as apart from other Alge-
rian cities, overrun as they are with
Europeans, and beginning to loom
up with factory chimneys and mod
ern buildings.
Isabelle Eberhardt, returning late
ly from journey through eastern
lands has recorded her impression of
this oasis town thus: In the midst
of an immense plain, whose white
ness shades away into a mauve,
resting beneath dark shadows of its
garden is this great white city. In
its pallor, lying in the bosom of
this colorless plain, El-0ued seems
immaterial and translucent, be-
twixt pulsatine solidity of earth
and air. Without moving objects,
without any smoking chimneys. the
city appeared to me like an en-
chanting vision of ancient Islam
like a milky pearl in this satiny set
ting of the desert"

Say You

Do you know we sometimes feel
Is good?
Especially so when circumstances
and conditions force a business
man to uncOnsciously pay us a
compliment, the greatest in his
power.
We have learned through Mon
roe man that Monroe real estate
man was in Quincy last week and
there learned that the annual re-
port published by the Monroe City
Democrat had attracted the atten-
ton of the Illinois people to this
section of the country to greater
extent than all other causes COM
bined.
Now we will bet jug of butter
milk that if we had have gone to
that real estate man and explained
to him the nature of that issue of
the paper and asked for card that
would have cost him $1.00, he
could not and would not have seen
anything in it for him.
Nevertheless it will be repeated
next year and then you will see
whether or no the two He's take adj
vantage of it.

An Answer.

Some time since we wrote query
for another, to a gentleman in Hol-
lister, California and receiving no
reply, after several weeks we wrote
Hello, Hollister" and sent him a
marked copy of the paper received
the Free Lance with this in it:
"A Belated Reply"
ITO my friend Dick let me reply
That work abounds beneath this sky
So send your protege right along
And let him sing his little song"
The Christian spirit here abounds'
Of cares we have few;
Be it Funny, Queer or Just"
We're always good as new"
These words are few but should
suffice:
We run no free employment Office,
But should you care to send an ad,
Well do our best to place the lad"
H. B. w.
If H. B. w., was half as proud of
Hollister and California, as we are
of Monroe and Missouri, he would
have answered long ago and not
hold out a hand to have the palm
crossed either.

A Sweet Goodnight.

He said Goodnight" and he held
her hand
In hesitating way,
And he hoped that her eyes would
understand
What his lips refused to say.
He held her hand and he murmur-
ed low:

This Mister of ours and Miss
Il thought perphaps =" and he
paused to note
If she seemed inclined to frown;
But the light in her eyes his heart
strings smote
AS she blushingly looked down.
She said no word, but she pricked
a speck
Of dust from his coat lapel,
Such small, such wee little, tiny
fleck,
Twas wonder she saw so well.
And it brought her face so very
near,
In that dim, uncertain light,
That the thought, unspoken, was
made quite clear,
And | know twas a sweet Good
night"

j. L. Lyons has been the Burl-

City for forty years and judging
from occasional remarks by the

must have done duty fully as long.

they do want a new depot. do not
want a new depot agent. Long
