THE TELEPHONES
BROADER FIELD

You know the telephones
mechanical ingenuity. But
do you know the ingenuity
of its every day uses.
Ordinary uses Of the tele-
phone are pretty well under
stood; but there is an enor-
nous field of long distrance
telephone service Just out
side the ordinary. every day
uses Of the average family.
Many families get twice.
three times. FIVE fold and
even ten fold the real service
from the telephone that
others do. They have no
advantage over their neigh
bors. being subscribers to the
same Bell service. But they
are ingenious. hey turn to
the long distance telephone
in emergencies. They en-
ploy long distance to give in
creased convenience. to re-
lieve anxiety. to bind the
family together in spite Of
separation, to promote social
life. share happiness. express
sympathy and enlarge their
interests on every hand. To
them the telephone is far
more than a convenience for
ordering groceries.
These wider uses Of the
telephone are important.
And. by the way. long dis
lance messages are not as
expensive as you may think.
Call Long Distance and
inquire about rates.

COUNTY EXHIBIT At
DALLAS STATE FAIR

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 16.-Twenty-
seven counties are exhibiting products
raised within their borders at the Dali
las fair this season, involving an ex-
pense of over $4,000. Among the
most prominent displays and ones
eliciting much admiration and APP
prevail are Montague, Hunt. Denton,
Comanche, Wichita, Brown, Hall,
Hale, Donley. Van Zandt, Andrews,
Wilbarger and Mccullough.
Forage crops, consisting of milo
maize, kaffir corn,i Egyptian wheat,
oats, ETC., are prominently to the fore,
but fruits and vegetables also occupy
considerable space in the different
booths. Canned fruits especially are
attracting attention and several fine
specimens are displayed Pears,
peaches, apples and berries, looking
as fresh and luscious as the day they
were picked, attract the eye and
sharpen the appetite of the sight
seeing visitor.
King Cotton is still the ruler and
dictator at all exhibits, but casual
glance at the volume of kaffir and
maize displayed in attractive designs
can not fail to convince the most
skeptical that Texas farmers are prac-
ticing diversificat;on more each year
and that in short time these two
crops will forge to the front as formid-
able rivals to the old standby.
Thousands Of head of cattle. hogs
and all kinds of livestock are housed
in the pens and yards and many fine
breeds are shown. The hogs this year
show great improvement over last
and the number on exhibition has also
increased.
displays are unusually large this year
and every article of practical use to
the farmer is listed in the entries.
Disc plows are very numerous and
this soil breaker is very popular with
the interested land developer.
Individual booths in the main exhi-
bition hall are attractively arranged
and artistically draped with flowers
and flowing streamers. possessing the
true fair environments and calling for
several hours inspection in order to
receive the full benefits of their
beauty and instructiveness.

CURES WROUGHT BY CHINESE
Minlstrations of Physicians Have
Good Effect, Though the Cause
May Be Obscure.

Chinese physicians are popular
with women in our city," said a doc
tor from California. Their method
of diagnosis is very simple. A wom-
an tells a Chimes doctor where she
has a pain and he feels her pulse
nothing more. Then he tells her for
how many thousand years his race
has understood the human body and
mind. This makes a great impress
sion upon the woman patient and she
goes forth with great faith in the
learned Chinese and the medicine he
has given her, which is usually harm
less enough, but not to be found
among the remedies approved by ma
terra medica.
However, the Chinese doctors are
clever, and they do effect some cures
in spite of their medicine. Lay it,
perhaps, to the mental effect-the
subtle influence of an alien personal
ity combined with an awe of learning
outrunning the oldest in America by
so many hundreds of centuries"

Birds Flock to Their Death.

An old sportsman of Normandy de-
clares that round the lighthouse of
Barheud last November there were
picked up in the course of four nights
10000 birds of all sorts. including
1900 wOodcock. The lighthouse on
the Pointe de Penmarch, in Brittany,
has revolving light of 10000 600
candle power. Visiting this on No
vember 10 last year. and again on the
18th, an observer saw tens of thous-
ands of birds whirling round. and it
seemed TO him that the light shot out
a perfect hail Of electric sparks among
the migrants Next morning he was
present while the dead bodies were
being collected. They are dispatched
every day to Paris by train, and the
catch" he was told, often comprised
1000 to 4,000 victims; one morning
alone there had been more than 500
woodcock in the bag"

SOMETHING NOT IN DEMAND
One Accomplishment That Employers
of Cashiers Make No Great Ef-
fort to Foster.

Having graduated from a business
college with honors the young man
thought himself competent to tackle
any problem in banking that could be
learned without actual experience, but
the old clerk knew better.
Can you make an erasure so neat
ly that it would take an expert to
tell where it had been done?" he
asked.
Eyes, sir" said the young man with
conscious pride.
We'll, for heavens sake don't tell
your prospective employer so or you
will be boxing for a job this time
next year." the old clerk said.
Employers are Sfraid of too much
skill in that direction. 1t gives such
enormous opportunities for fraud that
they viii fight shy of hiring you.

Other Method of Punishment Is Rec
commended by an Authority on
the Subject.

1t isn't very nice task to punish
pussy if you're fond of her, but there
are times when she must be chas.
tised. This is how to do it, according
to Louis Vain, the great authority on
the fascinating feline.
In the first place, don't actually
strike the cat. A blow merely numbs
it. And when the spine, which is its
most sensitive part, is struck-par.
ticularly if the cat is old-it is likely
to spring at the striker.
When pussy does anything wrong
frighten the wrongdoer by striking a
stick in the ground. A cat is most
sensitive to sounds, and will connect
this new noise with what it has done
1t feels more intensely than most ami
mails; hence its supposed savagery in
cases. Cats are highly electrical, and
1t is, very good to have one perch on
ones shoulder or knees.

Humor Of Artemus Ward.

Some years ago the real scream in
exclamation was Artemus Ward. Our
fathers were wont to read the witt
cisms of this great humorist and
laugh till the tears ran down their
cheeks. AS an example of how funny
Artemus could be when he tried, take
this extract from his letter on Jeffer-
son Davis, president of the Confeder-
acy, alleged to have been written in
Richmond:
Jeff. Davis is not popular here.
She is regarded as a southern sym
pathiser, & yit I'm told he was kind
to his parents. She ran away from
EN- many years ago and has never bin
back This was shown 'em a good
deal of consideration when We reflect
what his conduck has been Her cap
tur in female apparel confooses me in
regard to his sex, & you see | speak
of him as her and as frequent as other
wise, & l guess he feels so hisself."-

One Of the greatest conveniences
which a hostess can devise for her
guests is a clearly written card set on
the bedroom writing table detailing
the hours Of meals. the times of in
coming and outgoing posts, the prin-
cipal trains and other useful informa-
ton.
1t was someone's clever idea to pro.
vide a small china slate in each room,
on which might be written instruc-
tons for the housemaid. 1t is often
difficult to find her during the day in
order to ask for the hot bottle. the
glass of warm milk, the necessary
help when dressing for dinner, or 9th
er needs that may be required, and
to ring for her often is not desirable.

Instinct Was There,

Mr.. 1saacs had had busy day, what
with lending money at 80 per cent.
and discounting bills at so, and he was
annoyed on returning home to find the
apple of his eye bowling the house
down. That child would not be quiet
not even when his fond papa took him
IN his arms. Then the parent tried
walking up and down the ROOM sing
ing songs, but after having sung every
song from "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep"
to Hey Diddle Diddle," he thought
of giving it up. However, he tried
one more song. 1t was Sing a Song
of Sixpence." Hardly had he started
when there was an instant hush and a
tiny voice cried out: Make it two
shillings, fader; I'll be athleep in

Queer Sign Posts.

In the neighborhood of Warmbrunn,
In the Silesian mountains, there are to
be found some very curious signposts.
One seen by writer in the Wide
World Magazine represents a farm la
borer sharpening his scythe, on which
is inscribed, in the old Silesian dialect,
ITO Giers Village, One Hour" The
signpost is well carved and painted in
natural colors, so that it appears very
life-like. Another signpost in the same
district represents a schoolboy carry
ing slate bearing the name of the
nearest village, toward which the boy
is pointing.
