DELAWARE COUNTY TELEPHONE
COMPANY INSTALLS TWO
NEW SWITCH BOARDS.

The Delaware County Telephone
Company is installing two new switch
boards for use on its Manchester
city exchange. The increasing de-
mand for phones in Manchester has
made II necessary for the company
to make this addition to it's equip
ment. The two switch boards will
accommodate 200 phones each. One
is to replace an old board, and the
other will be for new phones. The
change will admit of 200 new city,
phones The company has had up
wards of half that number of applica-
tions on file for some time, and it
Is anticipated that the whole num-
ber of the extra phones which are
now being provided for, will be TAX
en- within short time. This will
make a total of 500 phones in the
city of Manchester, which is much
above the average number in cities
Of this size. Such liberal list of
subscribers speaks volumes for the
efficiency of the service given by
the company The automatic system
is certainly a success as it is handl-
ed here.

THE GOVERNORS DOG

Perhaps it is really the governors
| dog" said he hesitatingly.
Suddenly ecoming angry, he shouted
at the dog catcher:
Let the dog out immediately Can't
you see, you dunderhead, that it is a
thoroughbred dog?"
Ha, ha, thoroughbred dogr'
laughed someone just behind the police
superintendent Ha, ha, what Judge
of dogsI''
Everyone looked round and saw town
councillor Pietroff,
All, good morning. councilorr' cried
the police superintendent, pleased.
You are Of opinion that it is a COM
mon dog?"
The mangiest cur that I ever saw,
my dear fellow. It has got dull eyes.
Who knows, perhaps it is madi"
The superintendent seemed quite to
have lost his head Digging the ribs
OF the unlucky dog man, he cried as if
possessed:
GO on, Go on, you beast. I'll teach
you TO let mad dogs out of your cart,
HI, policeman, tomorrow you lock that
fellow up for two daysI''
The dog cart rolled away. and soon
vanished out of sight. But, half an
hour later there came to this same
P-oScs eHV PO1lCes COHlinlSSdrleS, three
superintendent and two policemen.
Has anyone here seen the governors
dog.
One of the comrnissaries turned TO
the police inspector on duty.
The inspector stood speechless for a
moment, then he started to run as
hard as he could in the direction that
the dog catcher's- cart had taken; the
whole of the investigation commission
followed close behind
The next day. the poor dog catcher
was sentenced to three months inn
prisonment, the mayor of the town
was fined 500, roubles. and the police
inspector was relieved of his office.
BY an extraordinary dispensation of
fate, the responsible editor of the local
political newspaper was not punished
on this occasion.

Day of Exile Is Passing.
However. the day of political exile
in Central America is rapidly passing.
The little republics are beginning to
realize that nothing is gained by ban
ishing man from home, but that on
the other hand it is extremely difficult
to prevent him from making more mis-
chief while away than ne could make
at home With the hand Of nearly ev-
cry Central American government
against every other republic there is
little difficulty in fostering trouble.
The Zelaya exiles revived a states
mans dream OF the past while in Costa
Rica- They declare that instead of di-
viding Nicara gua into two republics,
as has been proposed, the thing to do is
to induce the United States to take the
lead in bringing about a union of all
the Central American republics as was
proposed by the late James G. Blaine
They point out that the cost Of admin
tstering the affairs of the five republics
is much greater than that which would
be necessary If they were consolidated.
The duplication OF officials results in
much heavier burden Of taxation
than would otherwise obtain. and as
one large republic they would COM
mand a respect at home and standing
abroad that as five small ones they
never can This proposition has been
brought up time and again, and yet it
repeatedly has been defeaed by the
conflicting ambitions Of the several
Central American rulers.
Tt is pointed out that such a confed-
Grafton would be composed of people
similar in ancestry, in disposition, in
taste. and in governmental traditions
OF course every one OF the five repub-
lies would want the capital and other
wise the lions share in such a deal,
and while the condition proposed would
be an ideal one. practical diplomats re-
alize that such confederation is not
possible in the immediate future
