medical profession. He commended that

as To remuneration the bill set up an
Independent authority on which the
doctors would be represented and
which would frame the terms. The in

doctors without consulting the local
medical committee representing the

We're Henry Drittler. George TAYLOR
archie Hule and a chum of the latter
Iaylor testified that Hendrlckson an
peared TO have something against En-
Ter. and he had seen the men eyeing
each other In the mirror behind the
bar 1t appeared from the testlmonv
OF Taylor that Hendrickson had told
MN that he was armed and he SIM
posed that Ehler had his gun also. The
two youths testified that they had seen
the affair from the beginning. but could
not say definitely which of the two
men had fired the first shot. Ones
IONS were asked some Of the witnesses
as to their knowledge of cause for
grievance between Ehler and Hend.
rickson but nothing definite was ad-
duced along these lines.
AT the morning session ED Renten-
bach, William Flynn. Dennis Lynch
William Mcmahon and Ed Pinten were
examined but none of these had a
clear impression OF what actually took
place having scurried for shelter at
the firing Of the first shot.
An adjournment was taken un,u
next Friday for the Transmitting of the
testimony.
The testimony OF Mike Connoly oil
Ripley was favorable to the defense
as he stated he saw a pistol in Hend-
rlckson's hand before the shooting
started, while the other witnesses AMI
conveyed the impression that Ehler
had fired before Hendrickson drew his
pistol. From the line OF questioning
followed with this and some of the
other witnesses 1t appears as though
self defense would be urged on be-
half OF Ehlcr.

CISiI. SERVICE PENSIONS.

James q. Kerr, an employc in the
Chicago postofiice. worked siXty-two
years Tor the government During
that time he took no holiday and
was never absent from his work. At
S. years of age he has resigned. TO
end his days as a warG of his child
ren.
Upou several occasions there have
been presented to the United States
Congress bills to provide pensions
for civil service employees. There
are two or three such bills pending.
Most OF these bills have contained
undesirable sections that defeated
the entire bill Congress seems
willing to pass satisfactory PEN
sion bill for the civil service, and
50 soon as petty politics are dropped
from the authorship of these bills,
We may hope for action.
The most satisfactory system Sug-
gested seems To be plan of with
holding a certain part of the regular
salary. 70 go into a fund which be-
comes available. with interest. at a
certain age limit or when the en-
ployo quits the service. The pension
system has been overworked in this
country. great as are its advantages.
The advisability of straight pen
sion for civil service employees is
questionable, but there can be no OBJ
lection to a plan which helps the
servant save for a rainy day.
No man who has served an en-
ployer for more than half a century
should be turned out upon the char
ity of relatives. However. plan
that helps a man to help himself is
better than one that encourages un-
thrftiness or dulls the appreciation
of personal responsibility.

PROBLEM OF THE WAIST-LINE.

No matter how enthusiastic We
NAV get over the Presidential cam
nsipu more than one-half OF our
popuIation will still be reticent on
things political.
Even in the woman suffrage states
there is one topic which Will sull
assume paramount Importance over
all poljticaI issues. This is the ques-
tjon of where the waist-line will be
next summer.
The prime thing which will deter
mine this matter will be the length
of the waist Some waiSt-lines re-
semble high-water marks on account
of their extremes. They may be
either up or down, while on the other
hand they may be neither up nor
down.
All suggestions as to where the
waist-line should be are eliminated
from this article because it is not
vet certain whether this will be a
high-water mark season.

The Girl at the Switchboard

| Brown bets Green that the Houn'
Dawg song was first sung by Patti
they ask Central. This is not an ex-
ageration. Ask her. If little Su-
sic Johnson wants to know who dis
covered America and neither Mr..
nor Mrs. Johnson can tell her she
asks Central. And Central tells them
all if she possibly can.
But she won't look up numbers
for you if you can do it yourself.
She'd have to double her force just
to help her do that if she consented.
And she will never let on that she
thinks you are unreasonable even if
you are.
One subscriber was very indignant
short time ago because his partic-
ular operator was so slow. He de-
clared that he had counted ten be-
fore she had ever answered his ring
and he didn't see what she could
have been doing. When he was in
formed that she had some 400 or
so calls besides his to answer in an
hour he was astOnished; he thought
that one operator attended only to
one wire, That would mean that
Columbia would have to have 1887
operators, for that is the number of
telephones here. a large number for
town of this size. Five years ago
there were but $50 telephones. The
eight girls at the switchboard ans
wer on an average of 5000 calls a
day.
The telephone company has other
troubles besides these, however. 1t
can't keep it's girls. The entire per-
sonnel of the force has changed in
the last two years Why? They got
married. 1t is human nature to look
up with awe and admiration to any
thing on a monument. And when
this particular something is youth
full and feminine Patience the COM
bination is too much for weak NOR
tai to allow her TO stay there. SO
it persuadcS her to come down and
sit by its fire-side Cor steam radia-
tori instead. Consequently the tel
ephOne company's marriage record
is 100 per cent in two years.
Just why this is the managers
seem at a loss to know. The Oper-
ators never converse over the wire,
nor are they permitted to entertain
their masculine friends at the Of
flee even between shifts. But it is
quite simple when you reason il out.
The telephone girl is trained to be
sweet tempered She deals with so
many and such varied types of hu-
manity every day that she comes
is as secluded as a Turkish bride for
eight hours each day with only her
disembodied voice reaching you.
and nothing could arouse that mas
culine instinct of curiosity and pur-
suit more.
Every telephone company in the
country has this same problem to
deal with. And they will continue
to have it as long as they train
youthful Patience to sit on high-stOol
monuments. F. l..
