"Well, this is how it happened.'
And Henry began story by way
of answering my question. He was
sitting comfortably in a rocking
chair and smoking a cigar.

Henry glanced at me with a
smile; then noticing how Interested

a dream, to be sure-and the shin

the deserted streets were the cause.
Her goodnight still rings in my
ears, promising, hopeful, celestial

VFOFU "GoUCSudN LAW.
There is nothing to the report that
the new Minette telephone law will
raise telephone tolls" said =. NJ. Fer
guson. manager of the Mankato Citi-
zens' Telephone company. today. 1T
is true that the law will give the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion the power TO raise rates I'm cases
where the rates i'm vogue are not
adequate to give the companies fair
compensation for the service and a
fair return on the investment. But
it is also true that I'm cases where
too much Is being earned by the tele-
phone companies. the commission can
reduce the rates.
THE new law will make il possible
TO use the toll lines of any company.
AS il is now. IL you want TO call up
st. Cloud or Sank Center or Winona
or Brainerd. you must do II over a
Northwestern telephone. But the
new law will make II possible to call
up these places from one of our tel
ephones or from a telephone OF any
other company.
One effect that the new law will
have will be to make the telephone
system of every city rest on its own
resources. Here in Mankato the North
western is giving a business tele-
phone. and residence telephone
together for, 50 a month The same
company. having the exclusive field
at st. Cloud. charges 81 month for
the business telephones and 81. so a
MONTH for the residence telephones,
or $3.50 I'm all for what II sells for
So in Mankato. Our company charges
So per month for business telephones
and SITE a month for private resi-
dsnce telephones"
