DIGNITY IN LOW NUMBERS
New York Business Men Said to At
tach Importance to Figures Of
Their Telephones.

"Such a small thing as a telephone
number has some significance in the
standing Of firm" remarked a New
Yorker who had little else TO do but
talk and observe.
"How SOP" asked the other.
Take the low numbers-'Broad l.
for instance-and, as rule, it will be
the number belonging to an old estab-
lished firm, provided, Of course, that
firm has remained In one location The
firm now bearing the above number
was in existence before telephones
were in use at all, and in like manner
1t is possible to ascertain the old es-
tablished business houses. If firm
moves, but remains in the same ex-
change, it has the privilege Of retain
Ing its original telephone number.
Americans don't care much for age
and long established anything, as a
class, but there are many firms in this
city that are proud of their telephone
numbers in system where the num-
bers run high up in the thousands"

HUMAN BURRS IN THE WORLD
Unwlse People Who Bore Their
Friends With Their Display of
Lack of Tact.

Do you ever encounter inQuisitive
people who are really annoying-peo-
pie who have not the least interest
in your affairs, but simply want to
know" out of idle curiosity? A great
share Of Americas reputation for rude
ness may be laid entirely to the charge
Of their riling questions. Equally I'M
desirable Is the person who conides
her family troubles to all her friends.
Instead of putting the stoutest kind OF
paddock on the closet door where the
family skeleton turks, some women
shamelessly drag it out and parade
in the public eye.
The too-friendly individual who runs
in at all hours without ringing and
offers her services upon every occa-
sion, and the woman who monopolizes
or tries to monopolize all the time
and attention Of her friends is like
wise to be avoided. "Dearie, II you
are thinking of going shopping this
week, let me know and I'll go with
you. Stop for me If you 90 TO the
matinee on Wednesday,"
1t never occurs to them that their
company might not be appreciated.
But just as the burrs Of the field make
us appreciate the flowers more than
ever. 30 do the human burrs teach us
to rejoice in the pleasant, considerate,
sensible friends that fall to ones lot
for the latter outnumber the former
many, many times.-Exchange.

FL0ATED TO THE NEW SITE
Village of ProVlncetown Was Put on
Rats and Moved Across
the Bay.

Commercial street in Provincetown
had an origin in keeping with its pres
ent nautical air and appeal to the
Imagination. The town originally
stood on the spit of sand far out
across the harbor, where the light
house now Is. Many years ago the
government bought Provlncetown,
houses and all, in order to protect the
harbor from the threatening sea. The
Provinoetonians went to the govern
ment and asked what they were 60
ing to do with the houses. -
"Pull Aem down, Of course" said
the government.
Cant we have emf" inquired the
late owners.
"sure," replied the government, ''if
you'll take 'em away"
"Surel" echoed the Provincetoni-
ans. .r
Old wreckers that they were, they
applied their technic TO the problems
OF housemoving. They bulkheaded
their dwellings up, necklaced empty
casks about them in the way of life
preservers, and one sunny morning

its maritime traditions, set sail,

1t now stands. Near the railway

THE TUNGSTEN SYSTEM,

We are certainly pleased to note
that our sister city, Grand Junction
is coming to the front and will adopt
the same lighting system as has been
adopted by the people of this city,
says the Glenwood Avalanche.
There is one thing noticeable, how
ever, and that is that the Chamber
of Commerce of Grand junction is
back of the scheme there.
Here, the work was left to a few
patriotic citizens, who believing Glen
wood should take the new system for
herself, have put up their money and
time to. complete the same.
The Chamber of Commerce of
Grand Junction will be forever prais-
ed if they authorize their support to
the new scheme. And il is right they
should be. But it is Just as much
the duty of Glenwood folks to feel
proud of her few loyal citizens who
are bearing the brunt of the battle
here.
The tungsten lighting system is the
best obtainable and we have no doubt,
but Grand Junction will adopt it.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver. July 12.-In railroad cir
cles in Denver there is a report that
the Great Northern railroad is build
ing towards this city from Yankton,
S. D., and that if proper inducements
were offered the company it probably
would construct its line into Denver.
Should such a thing occur it would
give Denver a direct line to the
head of the great lakes at Duluth and
water transportation from that point.
The mater is to be taken up by the

be appointed to cooperate with the
people of Sioux Falls. S. D., with a
view of comforting with the officials

there WAS an immediate rush to meet

The crowd, however, was disap-
pointed. II is true, the man, whom
they had nearly mobbed N their
eagerness to greet, looked like Wilson
and he had the Wilson mannerisms.
but it was not the presidential candi-
date. 1t was John E. Gill of Pitts
burgh, president of the Manufactur-
ers' Light & Heat company, who looks
as much like Governor Wilson as two
peas look alike. Being taken for the
governor has become an old story with

up TO him and congratulates him upon
having received the nomination for
the highest Office in the land. He says
it is nearly as good as really being a
candidate, and that he enjoys it very
much.

Why do we open our mouths when

There are three causes. entirely in

Qassageway called the eustachian tube,
connecting the back of the throat ard
The middle ear, the part behind the

hold our breath. and this permits
sound waves to enter the mouth and
reach the eustachian tube, and in this
way they reach the drum and re-en-
force the sound waves that come
through the natural channel, the outer
ear.
In concentrated attention the mind Is
