Every cross dog should be killed. There is not the slightest use. at
this dav and age, of a cross dog A dog that shows even a disposition
to bite should he destroyed. This is the time of the year when hydro.
phobia may follow a dog bite and no one should run any chances of
that dread disease, to say nothing of the suffering and fright entMled
by being attacked by a dog Nearly every dog has a home, where he
is loved and petted and made much of and when he goes out and does
some indiscreet, or savage act, his master begins to plead and make
excuses for his conduct. He hasn't the heart to kill him and thinks
he won't do anything wrong in the future. Just the same he should
be killed. He has committed one overt act and he is liable. at any
moment to do s. again. The Town Council should psss n ordinance
making it the duty of the marshal to kill every dog, no matter to
whom he belongs, a soon Is he has bitten some one, O r shown that
he would have done SO if he had been permitted. The owner of the
dog feels too tenderly toward the animal and hates to take his life,
but his life should be the forfeit in every case. and the marshal should
be the one to destroy him. 1t is folly to let a cross dog run at large
and it should not, for the safety of the public, be permitted. Have
the marshal kill the cross dogs.

work in shifts, being relieved after so
many hours, so the strain will not be
too great. The wages of telephone
operators compare favorahly with
those of girls in stores or offices.
Accuracy and Courtesy
The telephone operator proper is
not the only one whose daily duty is
answering tho phone. In Offices this
duty generally falls upon one person
--stenographer, secretary or messen-
ger. Should this duty fall upon you,
remember that accuracy and courtesy
are just as necessary to you as they
are to the exchange operator. Culti-
vate q pleasant and distinct voice, and
dignifed way of answering. You
may not know 1t, but the atmosphere
of an Office or store can generally be
Judged by the manner of the en-
ployee who answers the phone. Per-
sonally, can estimate, and generally
correctly, whether or not 1t is bust
ness-llke office, or whether 1t is one
run without system and where cour'
tesy is not demanded of the em
ployees. One can estimate whether
the operator is educated, refined
pleasant-so many elements Of char
acter show in the voice which an
swers the phone. 1t pays, too, from
q business viewpoint, to answer each
call courtoously. You have no way ol
knowing Just who is calling. You may
snap at tho wife or mother Of your
employer, or at the very man witt

also, where this same care Is taken of

tribute TO American men who thus
smooth the pathway of the little work
ing girl.
The operator who learns the switch
board of office, hotel or any one build
ing, receives her instruction from an
agent of the company, and can usually
master the plugs and switches in a
very few lessons. The main instruc-
tion she receives Is mot to get rat

voice. She soon finds, however, that
1t calls into play all her poise, tact,
concentration on her work, and quick

is lost in calling telephone numbers
than in any other way. DO not think
you can lose your own temper and

you are so recurate and efficient the
telephone company cannot afford to
lose you.

The telephone was rung every few
moments for the family physician.
"The phone is busy" drawled the
operator each time. When he was
reached by sending a messenger for
him 1t was too late. The wife died,
leaving the husband insane from grief
and little children motherless. The
physician, who understood the case
and might have saved her, had been
sitting by his phone all the afternoon
and II had not rung. The operator
knew the wire was not in use all the
time, and must have known from the
agonized calls 1t meant life or death.
Had she been conscientious or under
the strict espionage given operators
today, she would have reported the
phone out of order and that tho ply
slcian was being called urgently. In
fire, in food, in strikes, in peace, we
call on the telephone operator. She
is our hope aud our delivery. So much
of the worlds business and the
worlds news is carried over the
phone today. that no telephone oper-
ator can feel her position is an un.
important one.

recross before the operator seem very

The Value Of the PIastron.

The tell-tale line Of an old princess
dress is about the hips. AS the drawing
clearly shows, this tight look is en-
tirely obviated by the insertion OF q
plastron, q triangular shaped piece OF
material over which the gown SEEM
ingly buttons. The net is also used
for little undersleeves. This Is very
simple and excellent way of obtaining
the lines of this season.
This model was Of sand-colored In.
dian cashmere, with applied bands OF
silk of a darker, dried-leaf shade, cut
in points. The plastron is Of silk not,
the same shade as the gown, and
braided in soutache the tone of the
applique. The hat is violet erin
adorned with single delicate aigrette,
shading from deep cream to mush-
room pink and fastened to the crown
by means Of an Egyptian headpiece.
These pieces are most clever iml-
tations of the time-colored ones seen
only in museums among collections
of ancient coins. The colors shade
through all the various tones Of vio-
let, green, yellow and pink.
