The prospect Of sending his matter
in time was as dark as the telegraph
Office He must get into the Office and
get an operator. Without both all his
work would be for nothing. He walk
ed about In the village and, meeting
a man who knew, was told that the
operator lived some miles away. There
was no way Of getting him and no time
to spend on doing so.
Tom returned to the station and
walked back and forth In a frenzy.
Presently he saw something leaned up
against the side of the station. He
went up to it and saw that it was a
tramp asleep. Tom kicked him and
awakened him. ....-....
"Get up said Tom, land go for the
telegraph man and I'll give you a FIVE
dollar BILL"
The man got upon his feet.
"Do you want an operator" he
asked.
Eyes, l do, as quick as / can get
him."
II was an operator myself before
rum got me down. If you can get in
there I'll send your message"
"You will? Good"
Tom looked about till he found a
heavy stick, with which he smashed
the glass Of the window. Then they
crawled in, lighted a lamp, and the
tramp sent the message. When the
last word had been dispatched Tom
looked at his watch. 1t was half past
in the morning.
He went to a hotel and to bed. The
next day at the station, before he de-
parted, he left enough money to pay
for damages and the message, then
started for home. He reached the Of

way? Where did all this sudden dis
play of energy come from?"
I've got girl"
"Oh, you have, eh? Well, 1 guess
you'll need a raise. I'll speak to the
owners about you"
Tom got his raise, and he got some
thing better than a raise. He got a
sensible, frugal wife, who was an ex-

Fish Exhibit Emotions.

We are accustomed to think that
only we humans become pallid with
fear or agitated with Joy, but some ex-

suddenly disturbed by tapping on the

bars which are characteristic Of this
species actually disappear for the time
being, only to reappear when the dis
turbance is removed and the eQuanim-

between 1887 and 1880, in addition to
which vast collections Of early music

aristocracy fond Of music and accus-

Very interesting are the phrases used
by the various people Of the world to
express 81 love you" Wherever there
are human beings declarations Of love

may be expressed. The Chinese say
"Uo ugai nj" the Armenian expresses
his love with "Se siren as hez," the
Arab is content with the short me

"Sidi seveiorum." In India "Main

ton. But the Greenlarfder holds the

AMERICA TAKES NO STEPS
TO END EUROPEAN WAR
Move for Discussion of Peace Would
Be Useless, and Insdvisable,
Officials Believe.

Washington, Oct. NO new step to
end the European war has been taken
by the United States and so far as Of
ficials here can foresee, none is likely
to be taken in the near future, accord
ing to an authoritative statement of
the governments position obtained in
high official circles.
While not protesting to know what
is in President Wilson's mind, it was
declared that no preparations had been
made for discussion of peace through
the usual diplomatic channels and that
all the information gathered here
seemed to indicate that such a move
would be both useless and inadvis-
able. 1t was pointed out, however,
that in matter of this nature, the
President usually keeps his own coun-
sci, and might be influenced by indi-
cations of which the officials here are
in ignorance.
