ADMIRE THE TELEPHONE GIRL
According to This. Il 10 Little Less
Than . Sin 70 Get Impatient
With One OF Them.

One member Of the family was
quarreling over the wire with the
telephone operator at the other end.
When the brief dispute was ended
another member Of the family said :
"You ought not to do that. You
ought never to say an impatient
word to telephone operator. You
can't do enough to make the work
easy for them. Were you ever in a
telephone exchanged
no." replied the guilty one, look
ing rspentant-
"Well, 60 to the Arst one you have
ali opportunity to visit. The man
ager will have some one show you
through, and you never will lose pa
thence again with one Of those girls.
You viii be Inundated and amazed
and instructed to see what wonder
ful work they do-whst impersonal,
patient and really self-sacrifcing
work they perform, hour after
hour-nerve-rcking, straining work
for a thankless public. You will re-
spect and esteem every one OF
them and you will feel that nothing
is too good for them, instead Of be-
ing critical Of slight mistake that
may at times creep in. The wonder
il that they do anything right con-
sidering the difficulties with which
they have to contend, instead OF Civ
ing az the really marvellous service
they do. II You want a lesson in
patience, forbearance, fortitude, en-
durance and all the other virtues,

When the Fair Sex Was Not
Greatly Thought OF.


We have great deal of detailed
information about TIE ladies of
Rome. Many are known 10 US by
name and we are aware of the i'm
preston they mSde on their contem-
poraries. We should not be helped
in differentiating them from other
ladies by opening ledger and set
ting down the good against the bad,
Calpurnia against Faustina, and
Alemene against Trimalchio's wife.
The trait that is interesting for our
purpose is present in, good and bad
alike. The Roman lady was a per-
son; indeed, she was often what we
cali q character" She is distin-
guished from the Athenian lady as a
statue in the round is distinguished
from q relief. Once for all, she was
detached from the background OF
family life and not supported
throughout her height by the fabric
Of society, must see 10 it that her
lie without her base. She commit
ted her own sins and bore her own
punishment. Her virtues were her
own and did not often take the d.
rection Of self-effacement. The
strong men among whom she lived,
who broke everything else, could not
break her.-Emily James Putnam,
in Atlantic.

Proof Of at Least One Benefit That
Comes a. the Result Of Mill.
tary Training.

, That military training strengthens
the power of the will was shown by
recent experiments In Austria. To
determine what effect the fatigue re-
sulting from long march might have
upon the shooting efficiency OF trained
soldiers. the Austrian school Of mus
kerry recently had cyclist detach-
ment OF 90 men, all over two years
service, do 66 miles in eight hours. the
return journey being against strong
head wind. Before and after the march
they each fred ten rounds at tar
get representing q section OF rs men
In diminishing order lying down at
500 PAGES. Before the march the de-
tachment made 40 hits on 10 figures;
after the march. 38 hits on 16 figures.
The experiment was then repeated
with a section Of AZ noncommissioned
officers. before and after a % hours
exercise in the field, during which 33
miles were covered. This section. con-
sisting principally Of marksmen, made
81 hits on FL out OF 26 figures before
starting and 60 hits on 20 figures after
their return.
But the raw recruit, when subjected
to similar test OF endurance, fails
to hit the target at all. He is inca.
pable OF the effort OF will and firm re.
solve to hit which renders the trained
soldier formidable antagonist. even
when his strength is exhausted by
hunger and fatigue.

The Poultry Raiser and the
Parcels Post.

In the horticultural department of
this paper friend Walden has from
time to time taken up the cudgels in
able and vigorous advocacy of the par
cells post. Now this is matter that
affects the poultryman even more than
it does the orchardist, for which rea
son I ask a brief hearing upon the
subject.
That in merchandise, packages of
not more than four pounds weight, and
at the often prohibitive price of six
teen cents per pound, can be sent
through our mails is fact known to
every schoolboy; that this rate is eight
times as great as that enacted by most
European countries is not so generally
known nor the shamefully ridiculous
fact that our own government makes
rate on parcels to most of the civiliz-
ed countries of the globe that is one
quarter less than the charge on the
same parcel from Seattle to Tacoma.
Our post-office depa1 tment carries
periodicals for a cent pound( Canada
does the same for less money by the
way, and makes good profit) county
newspapers for nothing, hundreds Of
tons of campaign literature and worth
less seeds ditto and yet feels obliged

know one family in Seattle who has
not had roast chicken for years.
They eat good many but always in
the form of fricasses or stews, having
found it nearly impossible to get
good roasting chicken. II | could

it is true, but at extremely lucrative
prices.
Right here in this town where The
Ranch is published lives an old lady,
seventy years of age who for years
has journeyed weekly to Seattle, bend

ing the weekly yield of her little
place. Cheerful In spirit and brave
of heart as she is, it's a hard burden
for an old woman just the same, and
one that Uncle Sam should carry for
her. But if our uncle assumes this
rightful burden, he would be trench
ing upon the privileges of our mast

The great benefit to us, however,
would be the beneficial effect exe1ted
by the parcels post upon express rates.

The family has been living in Seattle,

that they still retain a warm spot in

by the fact that Mr.. Garborg has sent
