First. II newspaper. congressman
or business man wants to speak TO
government clerk regarding an urgent
matter the clerk is told TO call up such
and such a number When the clerk
goes to the public phone to call up the
person who has indicated desire to
speak to him, before he can do so he
must deposit cents in the till Of the
telephone company, when. In fact, the
message had already been paid for
by the person who made the original
call.
Second. In the case of an apartment
house the company in Washington is
the only one in Americas cities known
to the undersigned where a customer
has to pay cents for calling up the
ipartment. l have ofttimes called for n
erson in the apartment, but before
ping so had TO put a jitney into the

be person was not in, hence the COM
kny got cents for a message not de-
Fered. and the only satisfaction / got

Domestiics

We've had about a thousand
maids. who worked for us for
wages they cleaned the floors
and window shades, and cooked,
by easy stages. And ever and
anon they'd quit; their time had
come to marry and Grace would
wed her smiling Kit, and Jane
would wed her Harry. And |
felt sorry for the groom, when
ever there was a wedding; when
matrimony lost its bloom, he'd
find some rocky shedding. OF all
the thousand girls we've hired,
not one was truly saving; econ
omv would make them tired and
sometimes set them raving. 1t
was the same with Beryl Maud.
with Susan and with Sally; they'd
.-oll things up into wad, and
throw them in the alley. They
wasted succotash and steak, as
good as you have tasted; they
wasted pudding. pie and cake,
and all that could be wasted.
They wasted soap, they wasted
soup. and did it all with jesting,
and didn't seem to care a whoop
for walllng or protesting. SO
when they go away. to wed, |
weep for those they marry, for
Clarence, William, Stephen,
Fred, Adolphus, James and
