A Telephone Quarrel.

Don't be afraid of the man who
quarrels with you over the telephone.
He Is the most harmless creature in
the world. Just hang up the receiv-
err, chase over to his Office, walk up to
him and look fierce. He will beg your
pardon thousand times and hasten
to assure you that he did not mean
it the way you took it.
The fellow who fights over the tel
ephone is in the same class as the dog
who runs under the house and barks.
1t is case where distance lends
nerve. At close distance he will lick
your hand. Look up his pedigree and
you will find that he is as docile as

like Ia baby. The next time he calls
you Pup tell him to go and play with
his blocks. Then go over and give
him a rattle box.-Ogden Examiner.

pEEs1DENT WILSON ovERwoRKED
II EXISTENT colds combining the President
to his room for several days each month

II EXISTENT colds combining the President
to his room for several days each month
since winter began indicate the usual con-
dition. Mr.. Wilson has been one of the most ASST
dous executives that ever entered the White
House. His moments of recreation are few; his
predecessors were accustomed to setting aside a
certain period each day for exercise and amuse-
ment, custom they found to be necessary to pre-
serve their health and energy. Mr.. Wilson ought
to follow their example
1t should scarcely be necessary to work the
President of the United States like = galey-slave.
The American people elevate one of their number
to the supreme position within their gift give him
responsibilities that would break down any Euro
pean monarch trained from his boyhood to state
craft, then require that he handle so many details
ne has no leisure in which comprehensivey to sur
vey general policies.
Less prominent men than the President have
found that too close application to duty marks it's
victim for constant colds during the winter season.
The WEAKNESS or mind and body renders him
especially vulnerable to malades of which cold
is the common symptom. In all probability the
President is suffering from overwork, and he
should mend his habits. The country will not go
to the demntion bow-wows even though he steals
few hours every day for walk, for golf, or even
for man-handling recalcitrant congressman
