Demand for Telephone Directories

Our telephone directory is used quite extensively by business concerns outside of the city for the purpose of making up mailing lists," said D. F. Turnbull, district manager of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company.
 "A few years ago we printed only enough directories for distribution among our subscribers, but gradually there has been a demand from the outside, and there are more applications than usual for our new directory, which I am hay ing made up now. I shall have 1500 more copies printed for distribution than we have telephone subscribers.
 Among the many evidences of Bir- minghams growth is the expansion of tho Southern Bell Telephone. Five years ago we had just about 5000 subscribers working in connection with the Birming- ham exchange. Today we have 10Ooo."

D'ARTAGNAN A REAL PERSON

Louis XIII's guards-he had that, too, just as Dumas specifies.
 It was Porthos whom he encountered in De Troisville's ante-chamber. Still the story adheres to the main facts of an- cestry, for Porthos' lifelong eagerness to be of the nobility was warranted. He was Isaac de Portau, from Pau. in. the Pyre- nees, and his birth was so humble that the "de" was of no distinction whatever. Athos, however, had warrant in reality for his pride of ancestry, for he was Armand de Silegue, of family whose record in Frances wars has ever been noteworthy, with representatives of the name still living. But Athos himself per- ished in duel
 The facts of history were a little dis torted by Dumas in depicting Aramis. whose name actually was Henry. d'Ara- mitz. He was not a churchman, but the fact that he was the lay abbot of Ara mitz, near Oleron, afforded the founda- ton for that inconsistency he displayed between ostensible piety and ambition. He never held orders, and history records no romances with the pretty Duchess de Chevreuse. As matter of fact, M. d 'Aramitz married into the Bearn-Bonasse family and vanished into domesticity.
 But the duel with the cardinals guards, when D D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis joined as allies, did take place, on the day of his enlistment. and the king gave him his commission and 50 ducats be- sides. He really did die as field marshal of the French army in 1673, at the siege of Maastricht, in the Low Countries. He married Mime. de Sainte-Croix, and she is named in the rocrds discovered by De Jaurgain, as being, at the time, the widow of M. de Dumas. Upon this name is based the relationship of D'Artagnan's wife to the author. = 8FHA

MOST BEAUTIFUL LINES

From the Kansas City Star.
 To the Star: What, in your opinion, are tho most beautiful lines in the English language? RBADEh' A question impossible to answer. Is a lily more beautiful than a rose? Is a peach finer than an orange? For such comparisons as these there is no meas urng rod kept in glass case in the bu- reau of standards in Washington. You can value cotton cloth pretty definitely, but not poetry. Still 1t is possible to propose certain candidates for the place at the top. These lines from Tennyson must be leading contestants, the first two from "The Princess" the rest from "The Lotos Eaters,
 The moan of doves in immemorial elms And murmuring of innumerable bees. There is sweet music here that softer falls Than petals from blown roses on the
 grass.
 Music that gentlier on the spirit lies, Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.
 Browning had wonderful sense for the DeauIlIul-Wntll lt CdlCo tO CASA NiSO II as these lines from "Cleon" show:
 The sprinkled isles,
 Lily on lily that o'erlace the sea.
 Worthy to be mentioned with these classics is that splendid stanza from young American writer, the lamented F. L. Knowles, who died half dozen years ago:
 Helen's lips are drifting dust; Ilion is consumed with rust. All the galleons of Greece Drink the oceans dreamless peace.
 The supremacy of these nominations is by no means asserted. These are the days of the open primaries. Any person interested is at liberty to enter candi- dates.

THE TIGHTWAD OF GREASY CREEK.
 Jerry Murphy, now of Ezel,- had store on Greasy Creek for several years, until he burned out some time last year. One day a farmer of the neighborhood, well known for his nearness, came in to buy a pair of shoes. MT. Murphy dis played his line and after looking over the stock the farmer selected a pair, which the merchant priced to him. Looking them over and pincl1ing the leather to try it, he asked if the proprietor would put in a pair of socks. Receiving a re- ply in the affirmative and seeing the socks with the shoes he seemed to be satisfied. Walking the floor for few minutes he picked up the socks and re- marked. "Jerry, I am little short today so I will take the socks now and get the shoes in few days.'' MT. Murphy said he felt so badly beaten that he didn't even call the fellow back.-Hazel Green. Ky, Herald

The Great Caesar Built Good Roads

Grenada Sentinel.
When Caesar took an eastward
ride and grabbed the Gauls for Rome
what was the first thing he did to
make them feel at home? Did he in
crease the peoples loads and liberty
forbid? No, he dug in and built
good roads-that's what old Caesar
did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel upon
the foemans breast, or did lie try TO
make them feel the Roman S rule was
bes'? What did he do to make them
glad he'd come their midst amid?
He built good roads in place of bad
that s what old Caesar did.
He built good roads from bill 10
hill, good roods from vale to yale; he
ran good roads movement till old
Rome got ali the kale. He told the
folks to buy at home, built roads
their hills amid, until fll roads led
mp to Rome that S what old Caesar
did.
II any town would make the town
the center OF the map, where folks
will come and settle down and live in
plentys lap, if any town it's own
abode of poverty would rid, let it
getiout and build good roads just
like old Caesar did.

FOOD DERANGES A STOMACH
Culinary Responsibility From a Tenn
perance dpoint-Creates
Liquor Thirst.

The whole territory OF the drink
question lies contiguous to that Of the
food question. 1t overlaps it in many
places. Bad cookery is the unexpect-
ed cause of many an aching heart, the
insidious destroyer Of many a happy
home. 1t incites domestic discord, in
duces Incorporate habits and scatters
broadcast the seeds of disease. 1t is
powerful ally Of the saloon and the
brothel, and one of the most formid-
able evils with which civilization and
Christianity have to contend.
The largest portion of the daily fare
of the American people Is inharmon-
iously prepared or improperly cooked.
Consequently, 1t is indigestible, innu-
tritious and unsatisfying. Such food
deranges the stomach, and a deranged
stomach is responsible for more mis-
deeds and sins than a carnal heart,
writes Mrs. Emma Ewing in an ex-
change. Poor coffee induces an I'M
natural thirst for lager beer. Badly
prepared, nutritious food drives
thousands to drinking dens, and the
recruiting Offices of crime are filled
with stragglers from poorly provision
ed homes.
There Is no more important organ
in human being than the stomach,
and its needs should be treated with
thoughtful consideration Drunken.
ness often has its origin in the food
one eats. 1t is safe to say that of the
10000 drunkards who die annually In
the United States, a large re" ortion
have the appetite for intoxicating
drinks aggravated, If not implanted,
by improper food. When people are
compelled to live day after day on
slack baked bread heavy pancakes,
igreasesoaked meats, watery vege-
tables, sloppy coffee, and long list
of wretchedly cooked articles, Is It
any wonder that great many of
them resort to stimulants for tenn
porary relief from the discomforts
and ailments engendered by their
diet? A deranged stomach always
longs for stimulants, and with such
horrible dietetic and culinary condi-
lions as exist everywhere in this coun-
try at the present time, why should
we be surprised at the prevalence of
the drink habit? Bad food has a per-
nicious influence upon all classes of
society, through all the various rela-
lions of life; and it is almost impossi-
BILE for human beings, with appetites
depraved and stomachs deranged by
such food to lead clean, pure lives.
Good, nutritious, properly prepared
food Is essential for the production of
healthy, well-developed men and won.
en-. 1t is prominent factor in the de-
velopment of high type of Christian
life. Eaten in proper quantities. at
proper times, 1t satisfies healthy
stomach perfectly, and leaves no han
kering for candy or chewing gum, no
longing for cigars or tobacco, no de-
sire for beer or brandy
A fearful responsibility rests upon
the heads of those who have charge
of the culinary department of a ma
,tion, and it seems to me that along
the line of Christian work of every
description, but especially along the
lines of temperance work, reformatory
efforts must prove comparatively
fruitless, until long step has been
taken In the direction Of better cook
loru

TO THE VOTERS OF GREENE COUNTY
-Jnst as the campaign is about to

then you know am qoalilied to give
you the service you require.
Nov my opponent claims that he
las not good position with any cor
poration but he does not say that he
is not employed By any corporation
whatsoever in any capacity, and
understand on very reliable authority
that my opponent is under the om-
ploy of Dantzler Lbr. Co.; whether
he has not good position with them
or not | do not know.
No corporation hal at anytime
anything to do with my candidacy
and no influence from any of them
has been used in my behalf and there
is no corporation large enoug'l to
cause me to not impartialIy perform
any duty thrown upon me in the Of
fee to which ! seek.
And now in the battle OF ballots TO
be waged next Tuesday | want you
