On the Abuse Of
the Telephone

your bath, saying the message Is most
important, and keeps you a shivering,
dripping, miserable object answering
monosyllables to g. long harangue, in
viting pneumonia and perhaps death.
There's the other friend who calls you
from your beauty sleep at night or
your life preserving last nap in the
morning, There's the one who calls
you to a telephone booth because what
she has to say is 80 very private ana
who keeps you stewing there in your
perspiration while she tells you a long
story of no interest to anyone but her
self. There's the friend who asks IA
vors by telephone that he or she hasn't
the countenance to ask face to face or
who is too indolent to ask by letter
There's the worst friend who talks
personalities, dips into scandal and
uses well known names, an offense
that should be punishable, for It is as
though the town crier, surviving until
recently at Nantucket, had gone round
the town ringing his bell and telling
conjeotural tales about his neighbors
Abuse Of the telephone, every case.
Don't acquire the telephone habit
Don't use it except when actually nee
essary. The telephone is business
convenience and emergency server.
When we turn it to other ends it be-
comes an instrument of torture.

IN RECENTLY delivered the Grafton at
3 the dedication of the monument to
= Cen Thomas L. Hamer, at George
town, Ohio. He died in Monterey,
Mexico, December ., 1916, after par
ticipating in the operations on Mon
terey, where he led his regiment
from Ohio, which was the first to
plant the Stars and Stripes IN cap
tured Monterey. This same brigadier
general of Ohio volunteers had seven
years before the time appointed u.
S. Grant, of Georgetown, to cadet
ship at West Point. Gen. Grant, in
his Memoirs expressed the belief
that had Gen. Hamer returned alive
from Mexico, he would have been
president instead of Franklin Pierce.
This country village of about 1000
people is remarkable for the great
men it has given the state and nation.
OF soldiers alone 1t furnished the
Union army four generals, including
q. s. Grant; West Point graduates,
and nine generals and field officers
of volunteers, among whom were Gen.
a. W. Kautz and Gen. McGrorierty
and most of these men were citizens
of Georgetown when the war broke
out.
From Brown county 1 went to Ad

Cndl county, mucn OF II away from

notables, the ancestors of Whitelaw

P. Taft. of Cincinnati, while the spot
where the late John A. Cockerill, the
great journalist, was born, Is pointed
out to the passerby.
Speaking at a Chautauqua. a few
days later, at Fairfield. Iowa, In a
conversation with the former COVER
nor of Indiana, J. Frank Hanley he
told me how he, son Of hardy pio-
neers in Champaign county. had heard
of a Fourth of July celebration in
Champaign, a town II miles away.
This boy of II had never been away
from home and getting the consent
of his parents that he might go TO
Champaign, he picked b1ackberries,
sold them, bought calico for a shirt
and goods for pants, both of which
his mother made and with his head
covered with a Is cent straw hat
he walked, barefooted, to Champaign

A MAGISTRATE has granted al
- injunction asked for by hus'
q - band to prevent woman's call
ing up her husband at his office dur
ing bushes hours. The husband con-
tended that long domestic confabs by
wire disturbed business, in fact, caused
him the loss of hoped for profits In
that business. The judge agreed with
him and ordered the woman to dis
continue her calls except in emergen-
cies. Many men throughout the land
are crying 20 just judge" IL that man
wants to run for president. his tele-
phone decision will make him one OF
the most popular candidates.
The sense Of the judges decision is
that the women not merely used, she
abused the telephone. Many others
have done so, and are doing so every
day
A harassed business man, hearing the
the shrek of the telephone: at wonder
up i always look around for a chair.
He knew that he was scheduled not for
brief call but for protracted con-
versation. A moment later I saw him
draw up chair and sit down before
the telephone with a look of weary
resignation. 1t was not call. It was
