MRS. SADIE FLANAGAN

The village of Deer Park received
quite shock when news came on last
Wednesday announcing the death of
Mrs. Sadie Flanagan, formerly Miss
Sadie Chadderton. The funeral was
held on Friday in the Methodist Epis-
copal church and the services were
conducted by the Rev. Frank Mccain
ic, former nastor of the church at
that place. The service was beautiful
and impressive. The choir upon this
occasion was composed of friends of
the deceased and rendered its selec-
tons in a manner that went to the
heart of all who were present. The
minister, who is so well known at Deer
Park, and who likewise knows every
one in the community, spoke very
highly of the deceased lady and point
ed her out as an example whose life
and acts could be followed. Her death
was sudden and great surprise to all
She was one who lived her life in a
way that made her many warm and
lasting friends. She had been married
only little over half year and lived
at Akron, Ohio.

With her angel plumage on,
But it makes our hearts so desolate
To think that she has gone"
Her body rests in the little cemetery
just outside the village to await the
voice that shall awake the dead. She
is survived by a devoted father, low
ing husband, four sisters and two
brothers and a host of friends to
mourn their loss. A FRIEND.

GODS KIND OF A MAN.
Nv Rev n A Friend

By Rev. d. A. Friend.
A consecrated man of God
is like garden fair,
That brings forth fruits of many kinds
And flowers of beauty rare.
His time to him is gold most pure
Each hours q treasure given;
hes at his best at every turn
He lives for God and heaven.
He loves his neighbor as himself,
And feels for others woes;
He looks the whole world in the face
As on through life he goes.
He cares not what people say,
But walks in honor bright;
He looks above all petty strifes,
For truth is his delight.
His house is known of all the world.
To be house of PRAYER;
He goes to church on Sabbath days
And takes his loved ones there.
He gives to God his ample 1.-THE
Nor rob Him of one mite;
To be an upright, honest man,
Is his supreme delight.
You find him on the side of right
On every issue raised,
For he is guided by the hand
That leads in wisdom's ways.
He reads the holy book divine
As Gods love letter given;
And when he's done with earth and
time
His spirit scars to heaven.
And there he finds place prepared
On Canaan's peaceful shore,
A mansion and a robe and crown,
Where storms shall beat no more.
His raptured soul in glory there
Shall feast on things divine,
And with the bright ones round the
throne
He as star shall shine.

VISITING BY PHONE
Remedies Suggested For The All-Too-
Frequent Lines Busy"

How would you like TO be cut off
in the middle of telephone CONVEX
satien with the information from the
operator that your time is up" and
that you had been using the line as
long as was permissible for any one
message?
You'd probably burn cut the fuse,
or the generator, or the lightning rod
Or whatever it is that burns out
telling the operator just what you
think about it.
That is the remedy, nevertheless,
suggested by one of the telephone
company's most prominent subscrib,
ers for the overcoming delay and
annoyance of lines busy" 1t
cropped out at meeting of the City
Club in Baltimore, where the tela-
phone service and the company's re-
quest for increased rates were being
discussed.
A member of the club told of the
difficulties he had been experiencing
and cited one instance in which he
tried for half an hour to reach his
own office. Each time the line was
busy. He knew that the stenograph-
er and Office boy were the only ones
there to use the telephone. Finally,
in desperation, he asked the manager
of the telephone company if there
wasn't some way the operator could
break in on the wire and tell his
help that the boss wanted a
chance to say word"
OF course, the telephone people
could not do it. A telephone con-
versation cannot be broken off at the
request of third person
The problem of reducing the length
of unimportant calls is serious one,
and one that directly affects the serv-
ice given by any telephone company.
An executive of the C. & P. Company
has stated that eleven per cent. of the
calls placed do not reach their des-
tination because the number called Is
busy. In Baltimore alone more than
10000 busy reports are given every
day.
Busy lines affect two of the three
parties to every call To the one
making call, they are a source of
annoyance, meaning delay and the
bother Of calling a second or third
time. To the operator, they mean
extra work. 1t is claimed that it is
easier for her to make connection
than to report that the line is busy
To the person called-well, he's
using his own telephone, which he
has a perfect right to do-that's all
there is to it. And, of course, il you
are on a party line, it is manifestly
unfair to pay a prolonged wire visit
and thus prevent other telephone
users on the line from either making
calls or receiving them.
If every user of the telephone
would remember, say the telephone
officials, that an idle conversation can
keep an important message away
from two telephones; if they are on
a party line, from larger number of
telephones; and if every person would
hold talks down to a reasonable time
limit, there would be considerably
less cause for complaint and a real
Improvement in telephone service.
Telephone visiting may be cheap, but
that's the best you can say of it,
