That Colonel Roosevelt rather took the wind out of the sails of the four Massachusetts men, who are boost Ing themselves as candidates for dele gates to the republican national con- Vention pledged to his nomination, when he ernphatically refused to be l candidate in the Massa sachusetts pri- mary is plainly evident. He made it more difficult for them to obtain heir own selection, if as matter of .actahe did not destroy the very foun- Iation on which they were building heir appeal for support.
 To all intents and purposes the ex- president made it plain that if he se- lures the nomination he wants it to .ome from the convention in Chicago. n which the delegates will be swayed b him by some method not yet dis losed.

Telephone operators, especially those who handle the long distance calls, have a number of stereotyped ques- tons and answers which the com pany's rules require them to use, and no matter what the person who is call ing or being called says. the opera tors must adhere to their "formal'' remarks. The general public does not know that these questions and answers of the phone girls are writ ten in the rules, and this probably ac- counts for the fact that many tele- phone patrons get excited and slightly peeved over the operators questions which sometimes seem entirely out of place and unnecessary. - Hartford Post

He is going to pull something that
he has tried to get away with since
1910-to beat out some of Cobb's
