Some years ago the World advertised that il would
make memo charges Of "want ads to parties who owned
aelephone and has come to the point where some OF
our advertisers taking advantage of this acconmoda
ton
For example Some will phone their adv to the
World and when the collector calls at their home for the
payment Of same they will begin to offer various excuses
and the result is our collector is obliged many times to
make three and four trips to collect 25c adv. in which
ease il costs us more to collect for the little adv than
we get for same Our advertisers do not to think
what It means to us.
On and after this date when our collector calls with
Vour bill for little want ad and it is mot paid making
il necessary for him TO make the second third call
more ads will be inserted and charged TO your account
We feel that when extend the courtesy of accepting
our adv over the phone when it is not convenient for

extended our collector when he calls for the pay.

Slow Work i'll Congress.
(Bostcn Transcript

Evidence accumulates-thOugh none
was needed-that special sessions Of
Congress are not time savers. Congress
was summoned to meet in April to put
tariff revision through. 1t has been
in session four months. The Senate
now, in mid-August, has hopes that in
about six weeks it viii have perfected
the tariff biIE As its perfecting
process will bring it into opposition to
the House in many details, a confere
cnce committee viii be required to
harmonic differences between the two
bodies Senator Kern thinks the Prcsi-
dent may be able to sign the tariff bill
by Oct &, when the special session will
have lasted six months. If the current
Washington opinion, that at least two
months of currency discussion will fol
low the disposal of the tariff bill, Is
correct. there is imminent probability
that the special and the regular ses-
sions viii be separated by only Il
constructive recess. In this event
we will have a new currency system
and an almost new tariff for business
men to negotiate in making their Jan
! uaray start in trade and commerce foI

Valuable Animal Pulled Over
Railroad Bank by Heavy
Load of Stone
STRUGGLE TOOK HIM
INTO DEEP WATER
Was One of Best Horses Owned by Rail
road Contractors and Was Worth
$3.50 or More-Itahan Driver Back
cd Him over Obstruction.

a large and handsome bay horse, one
of the best owned by the Hobrool<,
Cabot & Rollins corporation, was
drowned in the Connecticut river short
Iy before o'clock this afternoon some
distance north OF the MILESTONE brook
arch. Attached to a heavy load Of
rock, the horse backed the load over
the edge of the railroad cmbankment
fill and was quickly snaked down into
the river.
The corporation, which is blasting on
Vernon street, has had a number of
teams ut work several weeks hauling
dirt and broken rock north of the rail
road arch and dumping it where the
railroad bed is being widcned. The
teams are in charge of Italian drivers,
and the loads are backed to the edge
of the bank until the wheels strike rail
road ties which are laid down to pre-
vent the carts from going over the
bank.
This afternoon ono of the driver
pushed back on the herse : bit so hard
that the animal backed the cart over
the tie, and the load quickly ~n1kcd the
horse down ever the rocky bank 80 to
10 feet into the water. In its attempt
to free itself the horse swung out into
deep water. He stood on his hind feet
and made repeated plunges, each time
getting a little farther from shore. One
Of the workmen removed his clothing
and swan out in an effort to turn the
animal toward shore, but was unsuc-
| cesSful, and while other men were try
! ing to obtain means Of rescue the horse
sank and raunaiunI ,,ptionIass IIa v,-o.

ANOTHER PARCEL POST USE.
c. o. D. Plan Aids Merchant to Collect
From Unwary Debtors

FtOiH OHWdTJ GSDICFSs
A Kansas merchant has found a new
use for the parcel post. When the G.
o. d. feature went into effect on July
l he hit upon an idea to collect a num-
Der of small accounts which he had
been carrying for some time and
which had caused considerable loss
during period Of several years
A number of small boxes were OBJ
tanned and filed with waste paper and
on the top was placed n receipted bill
for the proper amount. five cent
stamp was required for each box. and
the G. o. D. fee was 10 cents for each
package. The next day the returns be-
gan to come in. and in nearly every
case the debtor paid the amount. sup
posing that the package contained
something of value. but, of course. not
being permitted TO confirm this sus-
picion before opening it.
