DOORS OVER THE TELEPHONE.
Perfume OF Carnations Clearly Waited
From One Booth 20 Another
Far Away.

TIE other day a prominent business
man Of this city went into drug store
TO use a telephone. Just before him q
young woman with large bouquet of
carnations had been using the phone
and when he went into the booth the
cdor of the flowers nearly stified 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 called a man at tho
other side OF the city. without word
having been said on the subject. the
other man remarked about the strong
odor Of carnations. and the man who
called I'D. without thinking. said a
woman with some carnations had just
been using the phone on which he
was talking.
Hold the phone Just a minute"
said the man at the other end OF the
line. "and will find out II 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 that
day.-Ohio State Journal.

Italian In Deadly Peril Saved Himself

A little knowledge is a dangerous
thing to the man who handles dyna-

read up on explosives and have no
superstitions about them seldom are
injured through any faulty handling
OF their own. II your dynamite

inserted a half pound Of dynamite.
He lighted an ordinary fuse and
scrambled up the ladder. Before he
reached the surface his makeshift lad

most on top of the spluttering fuse.
Many a better educated man would
have realized his awful peril to the
exclusion of every other thought. The
Italian foreman whipped out his peck

fuse. When he appeared at the sur
