GREAT RAILROAD BUILDER

Donald d. Mann is a name that means little
to the average American reader. Most Of them
have never heard it. or have not remembered 1t
if they did. And yet this Canadian railroad
builder and timber man has one unique claim to
public attention. 1t is this: For the past 12
years not single day has gone by that Mann
has not built or bought mile OF railroad He
is one of the great railroad builders of his day
He had commanding part in the creation of
the Canadian Northern railway and he has cut
an important figure in the making Of many
others of lesser importance to the world than
the one named. OF that he and q partner re-
tain practically all of the stock

BANNER OF AMERICUS is
CUSTODIAN OF BIG LION.
Huge Monster win Be Expressed Here
Shortly.

When a prominent Americas bank
| official opened his private mail yes
terday morning he was not little
| amazed the the contents of a letter
from an interior town in New York
stating that a circus company there
had expressed him huge and vain
able lion.
Carefully he read the letter over
again and again, but the yerbage
changed not at all. That lion was on
the way
He may arrive today or tomorrow
at the latest.
Now this Americas citizen had not
ordered any lion, and did not need
such a beast to push collections He
is married man, and the presence
of lion in his household is entirely
unnecessary.
But the lion had been sent him, for
the letter so stated.
A careful perusal of the missive
gave added light, but it did not shut
out that lion 1t was marked "Es-
| pecially personal" and for that reason
| the banker does not desire to make
known all of it's contents But he can
not we'll hide the lion feature.
1t seems that the circus company
has good reasons for desiring to get
the valuable beast out of New York
state at once, probably for legal rea-
| sons. The show is coming to Georgia
soon, and when in Americas it will
| again pick up it's loaned lion.
The company's agent, the letter
stated, would pay all bills incurred
in keeping the lion.
AS the story is absolutely true the
banker was the subject yesterday Of
numerous good natured jibes from his
friends, who offered to give him adj
vice on currying and feeding lions
| while others offered to hire to him as
trainer and keeper of the beast
The huge Numidian man-eater is
expected here by any express, and
any old maid manchester who wants
the job of tanning a lion instead of a
human brute can get this one.

DENTISTRY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Children With Good Teeth Make the
Best Physical Showing.

The international dental congress
is in session this week III Berlin, and
its chief interest is the discussion of
dental inspection and treatment of
school children. This work has adj
vanced further in Germany than else
where, but the United States deserves
credit for making as early a start as
any other country.
In the same year that lessen COM
menced his inspections at Strasburg-
1901-the superintendent of schools at
Andover, Mass, instituted a similar
movement and found that children
with good teeth made a far better
physical showing than those whose
teeth were defective. The first plan
for regular official inspection and ad-
vice was developed in Boston, but it
halted for lack of appropriations.
Dental work in public schools could
not be expected to extend very rapidly
through the country until some of
the larger cities should take it up and
prove it's desirability.
No further Investigations are requir-
ed merely for the purpose of showing
that there is a great opportunity in
this direction for improving the pub
lie health. Inspections should be
carried on with the direct intention
of providing the necessary treatment
whenever parents are unwilling or
unable to give their children the ben
eft of it. German cities supply ex-
amples of how this may be done with
no great expense.

PLEASE" is ADDED TO :
QUERY FOR NUMBER
New Rule Is Adopted BY
Company

Number, please?" Have you no.
ticed it, the very polite query that
comes into your receiver now from
the telephone exchange when you
wish to use the phone? Probably few
Americas people have observed the
innovation; but it is fact; pleasing,
telephone fact, nevertheless.
Number, please?" is heard invari-
ably now, and largely within the past
two or three days.
1t is the result of a new rule put
in effect the past week by the Bell
Telephone Company, not only in
in Americus, but all over the system
And you haven't noticed it? just
think a moment and you'll remember
Here's the way it was. Instead OF
having the telephone girl answer
"Number?' when you called, she an
swered Number, please?" That's ex-
actly what it was, and there's rea-
son for it.
1t may seem a small thing for the
little operator to tack on that little
please" at the end of the answer tt
calls, but the Southern Bell Tele-
phone and Telegraph management
do not think so.
And the same order has been issued
to every telephone exchange in the
Southern Bell territory, which ex-
tends over seven states, that every op-
orator answer all calls in the future
by Number, please?" instead of sim.
ply inquiring Number"
1t is believed by the telephone man
agement that the change in the an
swer made by the telephone girls tt
the calls that are received is more
courteous and that it will improve
the service and be thoroughly appre-
ciated by the public,
The new order is all right; no one
objects to it, and the young ladies al
the exchange certainly do not By ma
ture courteous, they cheerfully speak
very politely to all, and it is only
when their feelings are lruf1ed by the
brute at the other end of the line thai
they speak bit impadently
1t is matter of regret that the
company cannot command OF patrons
the same courtesy to the tGSsshone
girl that it exacts of her towar n
often her Inferior
