settling the telephone difficulty which has
been a~ggravating the people over in Nance
county, just north Of Palmer, for a long
time, and the culprit is now under arrest.
For some time the lines have been use

was Investigated it was found that it was
always due to the grounding Of the wires.
evidently by some person with malicious
intent. Sunday the lines went out of com
mission and Sheriff Babb Of Fullerton was
to help untangle the affair. He
went over the line and found that at a
certain point it had been grounded by a
piece Of wire being bent over the telephone
wire and then extended dow to the
ground. He was at a loss to know where
to fix the blame, but thought of Sheriff
Her and his ~bloodhounds at Central City
and 'phoned the sheriff to bring them over.
Sheriff Her and Judge Peterson loaded
the dogs in an automobile and went to the
scene.
The dogs took the scent at the point
where the mischief had been done and
followed 1t to a nearby farm house, where
the man Of the house, when confronted
with the accusation stoutly denied any
knowledge of it. His. l2-year-old son, how
ever, was called upon at the school house
and owned up that he and his brothers
had been in the habit of tampering with
the telephone lines in this manner, thinking
1t great sport to thus thwart their neigh
bors in their efforts to use the line. The
officers of the law, however, did not see
the humorous side of the affair in the
same cheerful manner as the boys, and
took them over to Fullerton on a charge
Of malicious mischief, to which they will
be compelled to answer in court.

plished the most difficult and daring
flight ever planned for a heavier-than-
air flying machine. Incidentally, he
broke all speed records over meas
ured course.

Some men have the hortatory and
correctional instinct so strong upon
them that they are always wanting to
rush out and expose an error or refute
fallacy, says the New York Evening
Post. This goes with highly devel-
oped oratcrical temperament. Glad
stone had it. Walter Bagehot de-
scribes him as listening to some dull
pated member of parliament, pressing
away with one folly after another till
midnight, and saying to his friends:
Let me get at him. / can show him
what fool he is and perhaps induce
him to vote with u.s." But life is too
short, and the fools too numerous, for
such exercises. We should have phil
osophy enough to perceive that some
blunders are too great to require ex-
posure, that some men and some news
papers are not worth answering.
