ATTORNEY GENERAL
MAKES RULING
TELEPHONES PAID FOR BY PUB.
Lie IN RESIDENCE OF SER
WANT AN INJUSTICE.
fULL|NGTON TO DEMAND REFUNDS
State Labor Commissioner WirmeI
Declines Appointment on the
Employers Liability Com
mission.

Columbus.-Attorney General T. S.
Hogan ruled that telephone paid for
by the public in the residence Of
servant, is either an injustice to the
servant, or graft on the public.
The conclusion was reached regard
ing telephone in the residence of
Ed. w. Horn, clerk of the Cuyahoga
county board of elections. The opin-
ion was given to Burr S. Gongwer,
assistant secretary. The old tele-
phone rule has been that they could
be installed in residences at public
expense, where required for public
benefit. The new regulation is in
effect holding that all public servants
have regular scheduled working hours,
for which they are paid, but there is
no right to call them to duty outside
those hours. Hogan pays for his own
residence telephone, but doesn't apply
the regular hours rule to himself. He
frequently gets in double an official
working day at his desk and has been
known to go to the office on call after
preparing for quiet evening at home

Pardon Goes to Italian.

"God is just. I have always main
tanned my innocence of the crime for
which l was convicted and knew that
soon or late would be released"
This was the statement by Louis
Yura, when informed that Governor
Judson Harmon had given him the
pardon which is extended each Fourth
of July to a prisoner in the peniten-
tiary. Yura was at work in the bar
ber shop of the prison when the news
was carried to him. He betrayed little
emotion.
He was serving life sentence from
Trumbull County for second degree
murder. A peculiar feature of the
case is that his alleged partner in
crime, Charles Fenton, was pardoned
Christmas day by the governor. Since
then Yura has lived in constant hope
that his case would be considered
favorably.
The recipient of the pardon Is an
Italian, 35 years old. He had been In
America only short time when con.
victed. He is not naturalized.

Snake Tries to Swallow Calf.

rated from the rest Of the herd of
cattle belonging to Mr.. W. H. Key
ser, of this country, James Cubbage,
who is herding the cattle in the
Blue Ridge, was Mortified the other
day to find the calf some distance
from the other cattle firmly in the
grip of a monster black snake of the
dangerous species which infest that
region. The snake was hanging on
with a deathlike grip to the calf's
tail, Z inches Of which it had swal-
lowed. The snake when found was
making frantic efforts to complete
it's feat of swallowing the whole out
fit
When Cubbage found the calf i
was fatigued and emaciated, giviE 6
unmistakable evidence that it haG
been carrying the snake for some
time and had lost valuable time
from luxuriant pasture in an effort
to escape. With a heavy club Cub
bage broke the snakes back, though
it maintained an ugly disposition un-
til it was given a fatal blow. The
snake measured seven feet long,

THEIR COLORS.
A Touch of Human Nature Amid the
Horrors of War.

Out of the midst of the bloody
horrors of the battle of Fredericks-
burg comes sweet and touching in
cident which goes to prove that the
rage of battle cannot obliterate the
tenderness dwelling in the hearts OF
men. The story is taken from Major
Robert Stiles's -Four Years Under
Massa Robert" The Federal army
was entering the town, shot was n.y.
ing in all directions, and Buck, a Con-
federate soldier, was peering around
the corner of house.
A little three-year-old, fair haired
baby girl toddled out of the alley,
accompanied by a Newfoundland dog,
and in the midst of the Kissing shells
chased a cannon ball down the street.
Buck ground his gun, dashed out
into the storm and swung his great
right arm around the baby. Then
he ran after his company, the little
one clasped to his breast.
The company took refuge behind
the stone wall which has now be-
come historic, and there for hours
and days of terror the baby was kept.
Fierce nurses took turns in petting
her while the storm of battle ragged
and shrieked. Never was a baby so
cared for, and scouts secured the
countryside to get her milk.
When the struggle was over and
the Federal army had left the COM
pany behind the wall received the
post of honor in the van to lead the
column into town. Buck stood
about in the middle Of the regiment,
the baby in his arms. There was a
long halt, and the brigade staff hur-
ried to and fro. The regimental COL
ors were not to be found.
Suddenly Buck sprang to- the front.
He swung aloft the baby girl, her
little garments futtering like the
folds of a banner, and shouted:
Forward, men of the Twenty
first! Here are our colors!"
OFF started the brigade, cheering
Justify.
