Tribbie's Troubles.

The arrest of J. f.. Tribble, in
Alexandria yesterday on the charge
of bigamy, preferred by his first wife
in this city, recalled to the mind OF
Squire Mccarthy last night that there
is warrant for the arrest of Tribble
here on the charge of nonsupport.
Incompatiblity of temper caused
tre,fbis in the household of Tribble,
and he was carried before Justice
Crutchfield by Mrs. Tribble.
The Justice ordered Tribble to keep
away from trouble by remaining away
from Mrs. Tribble, and upon this
said Trbble in Alexandria yesterday,
he believed that his marital relations
with Mrs, Tribble had been severed.
He then got into more trouble by
marrying a woman in Prince VIII
liam. Tribble's troubles are just be-
ginning.

TOOK CALL AS A GREETING
UnsophlstIcated Youth Responded to
What He Thought Was FrlendIi-
ness Of Telephone Operator.

Talking over old times the other
night a Columbus man told the fol-
lowing story Of the days when Colum-
bus had but one telephone company
and the business did not require the
large force Of employees it does today.
When I was in the university here,
q friend from small town near here
came to see me on visit. Being ac-
Quainted with the manager of the tele-
phone company, l took my friend up to
his Office and the manager offered to
show US about the exchange. There
were about half dozen. girls operat-
ing the switchboard in those days. but
the plant was a thing Of awe and won
derment to my small-town friend. AS
we passed the girls on duty, 1t hap
pened that each had a call from sub
scriber in the order In which they sat,
and thinking they were saying Halo"
to him, my friend doffed his hat very
politely to each one and answered
back cordially, "How-de-you-do."

DENVER WINS TELEPHONE SUIT.
Injunction Refused by Judge Lewis Of
U. S. Court.

Denver, Dec. 16.-Federal Judge
Robert f. Lewis declined to assume
Jurisdiction in the application of the
Mountain States Telephone and Tele-
graph Company for an injunction re-
straining the city and county Of Den
yer from enforcing the provisions Of
the Brown telephone ordinance on the
ground that it would create a cloud
on the company's right to use the
streets and alleys of Denver. The suit
was ordered dismissed without preju-
dice.
Supporters Of the ordinance declare
that it is a complete victory for the
city and that If an injunction is OBJ
tanned by the city in the suit to be
heard before Judge Denison on Dec.
20 restraining the company from re-
moving phones where Brown ordi-
nance rates have been rendered there
will be nothing further to prevent the
the enforcement of the ordinance.
The quo warranto proceedings test
ing the rights of the company TO- the
use Of the streets and alleys pending
before Judge Denison in the State Dis
trict Court were continued until

More Sensitive and Kind.

wore SENSITIVE ana Nino.
We are much more sensitive than
we were. On the other hand, we are
more kind. At the present moment
the western world is clamoring for
physical comfort. The power of en-
durance is, at any rate, less widespread
than it was. Misery in the sense Of
bitter poverty engenders not resigna-
ton but revolt. The very contempla-
ton of it is sickening to Us. Burdens
which men bore and yet kept q mind
at leisure now fill every thought of
their bearers. The world has become
completely conscious. We know what
we suffer. No sense of the inevitable
gives US ease. We cover up SO far
as we can the ugly side Of life. or,
rather, we look at it only as it is re-
flected in print. The effect upon the
general mind of a public execution
would now be too emotional to risk.
The fear of Ill health takes an i'm
mensely much larger place in our
thoughts than it did when health was
worse.-London Spectator.

Then He WiIted.

A weary and detected theatrical
troupe, after an unsuccessful trip. ar
rived in small New Jersey town. A
fairssized audience witnessed the first
performance without furor, although
there was enough handclapping to
arouse the troupe's wavering spirits.
The leading man promptly stepped to
the footlights after the first act and
bowed profoundly, but still the clap
ping continued. AS he went behind
the scenes he encountered an Irish
stage hand.
II guess that's some acting" said
the Thespian, throwing out his chest
proudly.
"What d'yez name, tn handicap

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

western newspaper Union News service.
Washington, Dec. 16.-Victory for
the administration forces in the first
test Of strength on the currency re-
form bill marked Mondays session of
the Senate.
The vote. 40 to 35, tabled substi.
tute offered by Senator Hitchcock OF
Nebraska for section two of the ad-
ministration bill, proposing a system
of four regional banks with possible
increase to eight, the regional bank
stock to be owned by the public.
The defeat of this amendment prac-
tically insured the adoption of the
Owen plan, which provides for from
eight to twelve regional banks, with
the stock owned by the national banks
that become members of the respec-
tive regional banks.
The Democratic leaders claim that
the result of the test vote, involving
one of the most important features OF
the fight, indicated the complete sue
cess of the administration measure.
Efforts to reach an agreement for a
time to begin final voting on the bill
were not successful Monday but lead
ers on both sides of the chamber
looked forward to an early termina-
tion of the debate and for final action
before the end of the week.
When the Hitchcock substitute had
been tabled, Senator Reed made a
speech vigorously defending the Owen
bill and replying to Senator Root who
on Saturday attacked the measure and
called Secretary Bryan "the dominat-
ing influence behind the proposed new
currency system"
