The Telephone.

A man who was kept at home a
week by an attack of grippe, remarked
on his return to work that he had been
amazed by the part the telephone was
playing in his family life. It was his
estimate that the bell rang three times
an hour on an average, from 9 a. m.
to 10 p. m.
He believed the conversations over
the wire averaged at least five minutes
apiece. He figured forty conversations
during the day, totaling over three
hours of time. His wife at times be-
came desperate, and begged him to in
tercept the pestiferous calls. Yet the
vivacity with which she conversed
over the wire suggested that the in
terruptions were not wholly unwelcome.
Much Of this conversation seemed to
be merely social "visiting." Some of
it, of course, represented consultations
over the work of church and other or
CARNATIONS, while some of it was the
ordering of household supplies.
The severe philosopher will say that
the modern woman is wasting a lot of
time over the telephone which inter
feres with the performance of the
housewifely tasks in which former
generation used to excel. Probably
there are cases where this criticism is
correct. It is so very easy for anyone
and everyone to gain access to the
homes and time of other people merely
by ringing up central. People who
would never think of calling in person
will call by wire, and women with
social natures find it difficult to resist
the invitation to aimless gossip.
There is much to DE said on the
other side though, of the service the
telephone renders in breaking the iso
lation Of women IS lives. It used to be
stated that many farmers wives went
crazy by reason of the loneliness of
their lives. No need for that now with
the telephone making possible social
visiting for ten hours day, and if the
lonely person cam It think of anything
to say, she can pull down the receiver
and hear what the neighbors are saying.
1t is not surprising that it is almost
impossible for the men to get the rural
lines to close up business deals at any
time except when the housewives are
preparing meals.
In town life the telephone facilitates
marvelously the work of the many or
CARNATIONS through which women per-
form so efficiently their civic and
philanthropic tasks. Many a woman
is kept from becoming morbid by the

Mollie Fancher,s Point of view.

Mollie Fancher, of whose 68 years so
have been spent in an invalid Is bed, is
truer to the spirit of the poet s line,
81 thank whatever gods there be for
my unconquerable soul, - than the poet
was himself Her 68th birthday falls
on February 3. So far from moaning
at the approach Of the date, or cursing
it, even as patient job did in his
misery, she sent oft 600 invitations to
friends and acquaintance to come to
her home In Brooklyn and celebrate it
with her as red letter day in her life.
One of the letters was sent to the
president of the United States, and his
sympathetic reply will be saved as a
precious souvenir of the coming
occasion.
To reporter who interviewed her
on the approaching event, she referred
to it as the ''golden jubilee" of the
accident which, at is years of age,
made her hopeless cripple and invalid.
A golden jubilee celebration of that
sort is something new under the sun,
but Mollie Fancher is celebrating the
idea to the extent of making the 6S-can-
died birthday cake of golden color.
"My friends will fill the place, I
haven't a doubt" she said. There is
no need of doubt Such courageous,
undaunted spirit as that Of Mollie
Fancher must provoke the affection as
well as admiration of all who know
her. Such indomitable optimism would
be wonderful anywhere in the world,
but in Brooklyn think Of that

THURsToN, THE MAGICIAN,
Coming to the Rhode Next Sunday
Feb. 9Th.

Coming to the Rhode Next Sunday,
Feb. 9Th.
One big red letter day in the bright
calendar of theatricals is upon the way.
Thurston, the magician, will hold forth
at the Rhode Opera House next Sunday,
matinee and night, coming directly
from this weeks engagement at the
Davidson, Milwaukee.
This cherished American magician is
coming prepared to demonstrate anew
that he remains superbly solitary in
popular amusement -eminence; that
in prodigious proportions, splendid
equipment, modern progress and public
esteem he is now, has been, and always
will be, "the greatest magician on
earth.
The day Of harum-scarum magicians
is past. The public taste has dried
against the incompetent slight Of hand
shutters and the stumbling apparatus
manipulators who flooded the stage a
decade ago. Tt has now resolved itself
to where worker in magic must be
marvellous or absent. Thurston is mar
velous. His fnesse, his personality and
his fawless performance of the usually
impossible make him highly impressive
and turn his show into broad channels
of advertisement He is witty, tactful
and unbelievable deft. He is the logi-
cal and entirely competent successor of
Hermann and the great Kellar, who
in their turns respectfully held the cen
ter of the worlds stage in performing
mysteries.
This year it is asserted that Thurs
ton IS performances contain more than
can rightly be called new and unusal
than during any previous year. The
properties and costumes are Of costly
nature. There will be big array of
mysteries, and for over two hours the
stage will scintillate with wonderment
and amusement, and as banisher of
melancholia this years performance is
promised to be superior to Doctors

bed. The rest of the world will con-
clude that it is the spirit of the
afflicted Mollie Fancher which has
prevailed over the drab monotony of
Brooklyn, even as it would have pre-
vailed over adverse fate anywhere on
the globe. Her story will be an in
spiration to many others afflicted, to
find the brighter side of things, re-
calling, as it does, the fable of the two
water buckets, one of which, in passing
the other at the middle Of the route,
complained, Every time I go up I
come down empty The other said,
=" Every time | go down empty I come
up full.v' There is always a point of
view-SF. Louis Globe-Democrat.

MANY DANCERS MASK.
Vesta Merrymakers Have Gay Time in
Motley Costumes as They Dance
in Moose Hall.

Over one hundred and fifty masquer-
aders joined in the merriment at Moose
hall last night when the Vesta circle
gave its annual masque ball. Many
beautiful costumes were worn and Gyp-
sizes, Oriental princesses, Turkish ladies,
ballet dancers and others added to the
picturesqueness of the scene, while a
bevy of Topsies, other coon ladies and
tramps and hoboes gave the comedy
touch. Good music and long program
of dances were features in the success
of the entertainment.

"While special knowledge of any
important branch of a manufacturing
or merchandising business is and al
ways will be of great value and in good
demand at all times, still the need tor
day in the business world of which
there seems to be the smallest supply
is of men who have had just such
schooling as thorough legal train
ing will give-men who can take
and carry the responsibility of big
business
Mr.. Theirs makes the surprising
statement that this country does its
best to aggravate the conditions that
produce business failures and quotes
someone as saying claws are passed
that forbid men doing the things that
prevent failures.D
He goes on to say, "The time will
come when the community will take
at least as much care to prevent fail
ures as fires, and when failure does
come it will sift to the bottom the
question of responsibility.
The speaker gave as his opinion that
the cause of the war now destroying
Europe is the rivalry of Germany and
Great Britain for trade supremacy.

requisites for success in business or
profession and after giving all praise
to the value of legal education in both

all pluck is the biggest asset man
has, and added that neither the sue
