When Boston Phones.

Manners are now being taught to
the telephone-using public by the tele-
phone companies advertisements.
Courtesy is described as beginning
when the bell rings, as demanding
promptness in answering call, as
making helpful an immediate state
ment like this: "Corydon 5543.. Ru-
dolph speaking;" and as calling forth
in return. "Mr. Greatorex of the Eu-
reka wishes to speak with Mr.. Mini
num- The way having thus been
cleared, GreatoreK and Minimum can
proceed to talk without a period Of
feeling round, saying "Hello'' and
making sure that the man desired is
at the other end of the wire. There
can be the salutation of the day, and
then to business. Long ago the tele-
phone operators were made pupils in
this school of good will, and willy-nilly
they have to be courteous Christian

Making the Best Of Things.

Those who are overtaken by blind
ness need never despair. Capt. Ernest
Towse, v. c., who had both his eyes
destroyed by a bullet in the Boer war,
is now with the army in France. Nat
urally, he is not there as a combatant,
and is unable to be with his old regi-
ment, the Gordon Highlanders, in the
trenches. But he is busily engaged in
the field hospitals, where, though
sightless, he spends his time writing
letters for wounded and dying sol
diers, and in other charitable work.
Since becoming blind this brave man
has acquired quite large number of
accomplishments, including that of
typewriting, which he does with won
derful speed and skill. Indeed, this
sightless man is a remarkable illuStra-
ton of making the best of things, and
a splendid example of Christian deter
mination. He might have Topped. He
might ''haye cursed God,' as Job was
advised to tdo, and die. Instead Of
which, there he is bravely doing his
best, and helping soothe the last hours
of the wounded and dying.

REFRESHMENTS WERE ON HIM
Wall Street Man, APPLY Designated
by Smart Youngster, Had to
Acknowledge a Hit.

Samuel O'Keefe. a retired Wall
street man, is almost a daily visitor at
the Hospital for Joint Diseases, One
Hundred and Twenty Fourth street
and Madison avenue, New York, where
a friend is receiving treatment. There
are many invalid children at the hos
pital and Mr.. O,Keefe often takes them
candy, and on one memorable occa-
sion imported consignment Of char
lotte russo.
A day or two following the charlotte
russo festival he visited the children's
ward again, and was greeted by loud
shouts of approval. His arrival was
first noted by a little boy, said by the
nurses to be "as smart as whip" who
shouted gleefully:
"Oh, look Here comes the char
lotte rooster !"
Under the circumstances Mr..
O'Keefe felt that any further refresh
ments ought to be ION him."

FINALLY GOT HIS DESERTS
Originator of One of the Meanest
Kinds of Fraud to Have Some
Time for Reflection.

Ferdinand Drabina, young man
who emigrated to the United States in
1907. and who after a varied career as
waiter, hotel porter, laborer in the
gold mines in Colorado and salesman,
settled down In 1912 as correspond
ent for banking firm in Chicago, has
lust been sent to prison for two years
and a half for obtaining money from
Austrian banks on falsif1ed orders
from Austro-Hungarian in America.
A part of the business Of the banking
firm that employed Drabina was the
transfer of money from emigrants to
their families in Austria-Hungary.
The young man conceived the idea,
and at his first opportunity carried 1t
out, of making the orders payable to
himself rather than to the stipulated
payee. The drafts thus falsi1ed he
mailed to a "co-worker" in Austria,
and in the summer of 1914 he fol-
lowed the bogus paper across the At
lantic. After collecting several thou
sand kronen-17, 900 in the city of Os-
trau alone-he took lodgings with q
humble family and by means of his
apparent wealth succeeded easily in
infatuating the daughter. When, how
ever he threw her over and took up
another cha1mer she denounced him
to the police as suspicious Ameri-
cam who had no visible means of sup
port, and who must have something to
conceal because he had never gone
through the necessary formality Of
registering with the police. An inves-
tigation resulted that has only been
concluded with Drabina's conviction.

PUT TAYLOR IN WHITE HOUSE
Chief Executive Made Possible Be,
cause OF War of the United
States With Mexico.

Zachary Taylor became president
when he was fresh from victories in
Mexico. In November, 1847, he held
the valley of the Rio Grande. In
June, 1848, he held the nomination Of
the Wing party. He was elected in a
three-cornered contest, in which the
Democrats were represented by Cass,
and the Freesoilers by Van Buren,.
Taylor was soldier and the son Of
a soldier. He received his commits
sion as a lieutenant of the Seventh in
fantry nearly forty years before the
battle of Buena Vista. He was a cap
tain at the beginning Of the war Of
1912, and so CALAMITY defended Fort
Harrison against the Indians that he
was breyeted major and then promot-
ed to full rank. AS a colonel of the
First infantry he made his mark in
the Black Hawk war in 1882, and in
1886 he broke up the power of the
Seminoles at Okeechobee.
No two men could be more unlike
than Zachary Taylor, "O1d Rough and
Ready" and Woodrow Wilson, college
president. No circumstances could be
more unlike than the circumstances in
which Zachary Taylor was put into
the White House because Of his, par
-ticipation in war with Mexico and
the circumstances in which President
Wilson might become commander in
chief Of the American army and navy
in a war with Mexico.-Ch Chicago News.

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens Of thousands of farmers as we'll as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? BY the real moncy-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.

to cut store bills down; tells about gar
