of the American Union Telephone
Co. by the Continental Telephone
and Telegraph Company, Mr.. A. P.
Trautwein, of CarbondRle, a direc-
tor of the American Union Tele-
phone Co., of which the Continental
Telephone Co. is part, stated en-
phatically when interviewed, that
this does not mean pending deal
for control by the Bell Telephone
Co. and that the Independent COM
panies will continue in business as
heretofore.
The Continental Telephone and
Telegraph Co. was organized about
two months ago, under the laws of
the state of New Jersey, with a
capital stock OF $50,000,000 by men
of large means and long experience
in the telephone field, for the pur-
pose of developing an independent
company with a business. system,
which will perform for the Inde-
pendent Telephone Cos the same
services which the American Union
Telephone Co has been giving to the
Associated Bell Cos, BY inter-con-
meeting the various independent
systems which are more or less iso-
lated, and uniforming their meth
DDS for aggressive and concerted
action, instead of indicating that
there will be less competition than
heretofore with the Bell Co., this
new deal means that there will be
more competition than at any time
in the past. The Continental Tele-
phone and Telephone Co. is well
able to develop comprehensive
telephone system with all these ia
cilities that the business demands
1t now controls continuous chain
of telephone systems extending from
New Jersey to Kansas and Nebraska
and steps will be at once taken to
largely increase the toll line facili-
ties given these systems, which the
various companies, each acting in.
dependently, have heretofore been
unable to provide.
There will be no change whatever
in the local management of the
companies that constitute the sys.
tenn of the American Union Tele.
phone Co., of which the local ex.
change Is a part.

"A COLUMN OF EPITAPHS.

The following epitaphs, with the
comment on them, are taken from
recent issues of the London Daily
News.
There is an interesting epitaph on
a gravestone in Polling Churchyard,
Sussex. 1t runs:
Here
Lieth ye Body
cof Alice, ye wife, of Robt
Woodbridge, who Died
the 9th of May, 1740.
. Aged A years.
The World is round thing,
And full of crooked streets.
Death is market place,
~ -'' Where all men meets.
" If Life was thing
That money could buy,
The Rich would live,
And the poor would die.
Here Is another:
Poor Martha Smell has gone away,
Her would II she could, but her
couldn't stay,
She had two sore legs and a badish
cough,
But 1t were her legs as carried her
of.
Less comic, but more witty, is the
epitaph found at Kingsbridge, s.
Devon
Here lieth the body of Robert
Commonly called Bone" Phillips,
who died July 9th, 1913, aged 65
years, and at whose request the fol-
lowing lines are here inscribed:
Here lie at the Chancel door;
Here lie l because / am poor;
The further in the more you'll pay,
Yet here lie I as warm as they.
Here is an epitaph on last-mak-
er. who is said to be buried at Liam
hantwythyl:
Stop, stranger, stop, and wipe tear
For the Last man at last lies here,
Though everlasting he has been,
He has at last passed life's last scene.
Famed for good works, much time
he passed.
In doing good-He has done his last.
The following is more philosophic
and general in it's application:
Life's like an Inn where Travellers
stay.
Some only Breakfast, any away.
Othars IN diDnar Stav ond ara 1,,oI1
fed.
The Oldest only sup and go to Bed.
Long is the Bill who fingers out the
day.
He that goes the soonest Has the
Least to Pay.
This Is on an eighteenth-century
tombstone in st. Mary's Parish
Churchyard, Mold, North Wales.
