 The servant discredited the mans story and told him that he must tele- phone MT. Merwin and if he said it was all right, then the man could take the car. But just as he was about to use the phone, the telephone bell rang. and without waiting to find out who was on the other end of the wire, the man left the house and ran into Beardsley park. He was joined by another man and the two disappeared.

Courtesy in Business.

One of the great things in busi- ness is courtesy. It is an asset that is valued little by the thouehtless but much by the owners of business places We hear a good deal of com plaint about telephone operators being sassy but there is nothing to t. With all their provocations they do mighty well. Now honestly. have you ever known a perfectly polite telephone patron? There are prob ably such, but they are so rare as to become euriosities. Most of us are unreasonable when if comes to our own comfort and conveniences. We think we should not be disturbed even in our homes. When talking through telephone the barbarian In us comes to the front and We say rude things that hurt politeness IS the first thing taught at the switch board, but unfortunately there is no way to teach the patron. He is al- ways boorish.-Times Record.

 While the operation may be some what prolonged, it is the belieff of Prof. Lund that the result repays the trouble of preparation.
 The formula for canning pigeons is given by him substantially as fol- lows:
