lar subscribers, and at pay stations, is
dropped In the coin box.
The company will install system OF
baffie plates in the coin boxes which will
allow the depositing and registration OF
a penny when dropped In the slot provided
for quarters. The cost OF these altera-
tions and the additional expense entailed
by clerks necessary to handle the charge
accounts will make the cost OF collecting
the tax SO great that the company will
expend a greater sum in collecting the
tax than will be collected by them through
this method.

eral manager Of the Bell Telephone Com
pany, when seen this morning, told how
the company had prepared to collect The
tax imposed by the Government.

pared and new systems of accounting
worked out. The telephone company has
advised all telephone users of the new
law and the methods put into effect for
collecting the tax. Notices giving full
directions have been placed on all public
telephones and all subscribers have been
advised with circular inclosed with
their monthly bill. The circular explains
the method OF making the charge for the

Aunt Julia came to visit them. Leon
noticed that she seemed to be very
fond of grandfather and kind to him.

Aunt Julia, do you love grand
father?"
"Why, yes" said his aunt, ''he is my
father. Don't you love your grand
father?"
NO." said Leon very honestly, che

very often and sometimes he is just
as cross as he can be-"
Aunt Julia was thoughtful for a mo-
ment.

she asked.
"Why, 1 don't know" said Leon,
surprised. 1T was showing the last
time he told me to get out with my
noise. l went out in the yard and
made a snow man"
Il think if you will notice you will

day when grandfather is cross. 1t is
because of the pain in his back that

One day as Leon was coming home
from school in cold drizzle of rain
he thought about what his aunt had

into the sitting-room. There was nc
one in the room but grandfather, and
he was sitting bent over the hearth in

up very near the old man and asked

strings this morning. My back hasn't

That night at bedtime Leon remem
bering that grandfather had said he
could hardly bend over to tie his shoes
that morning. So he went into grand
fathers room and said Il will unite
your shoes for you, grandfather, be
fore go to bed
Grandfather looked surprised, but
he put out his feet for Leon to unite
his shoes Perhaps a story-book grand
father would have said. Thank you,
Icons grandfather did not. 1t was
not his way to say THANK YOU in
words, but he put out his hand and
stroked the little boys head, which
meant more than just common
Thank you"
Leon understood. He and grand
father were beginning to get acquaint
ed. Leon was very kind after that
and soon began to think his own
grandfather as good as story-bool
grandfather, and the old man became
fond of his little grandson.
