Mr.. and Mrs. II. E. Murphy, DR.. and
Mrs. w. G. Kemper, Mr.. and Mrs. M.
H. Murphy were among local people
who attended the wedding of Miss

Mr.. Adolph Soulak of Manitowoc
Rapids made call at the PILOT office
Friday.
Here is good one on Manitowoc
county citizen which was told to the
Pilot this week. He went on a recent
business" trip to - and returned
with two jugs, which he landed tri-
umphantly at home. He put one of
the jugs on the front porch, and in
placing the other one beside it he &C
cidentally struck the two together and
cracked them. To his dismay the
liquid and limpid corn juice began to
trickle along the floor ofthe porch
toward the edge, where it threatened
to make waterfall to the ground.
But the man was quick witted and had
been to too much risk and expense to
secure the booty to let it be drunk up
by Mother Earth. Quick as wink he
was on his hands and knees by the
porch with his mouth open under the
stream, calling between gulps for his
good wife to bring the dish pan. Be-
fore she could get there, however, he
had Saved" so much of the whiskey
that he was as limp as string.
John d. Rockefeller is having an ex-
tensive telephone system installed in
his new 81, OOO,OO residence at Pecan
tico Hills, and when it is ready for
operation he will be his own operator.
The system is intercommunicatng and
will have thirty-three extensions. 1t
was especially designed for Mr.. Rookie
Teller, and there is not another one like
it.
BY pressing button he may get any
room from any other room in the
house and the conversation cannot be
overheard by anyone else, because
when he talks he is automatically cut
off from other stations.
1t is said no other home has as many
telephones. The instruments are of
special design and fit flush with the
wall. Alongside of each telephone are
thirty-three buttons connecting with
the other rooms.
The system will save Mr.. Rockefeller
many steps If he is in his bedroom,
library or dining room and friends in
Wall street wish to speak to him he
does not have to leave the room. Mr..
Rockefeller is anxious to get into his
new home to operate his new tele-
phone system.-Ex.
