working as a messenger boy for sew

lineman, installer, installation fore.

During the Baltimore fire of 1904, he
was one Of those who did valiant work
in helping to restore telephone service.
Mr.. Graham has always displayed
laudable resourcefulness and care in
the accomplishment of the tasks as
signed him, with the result that he has
acquired reputation for dependability
and accuracy. During his almost half
century of service, he has never had
an accident. He attributes this un.
usual record of no sickness and no
accidents to his temperate habits and
even pace of living.
Mr., Graham, in recognition Of his
long service in telephone work, has
been awarded diamond service en-

FATHER" GRAHAM

Forty-seven yeors' service, with only
two days '9st t;~,e, is the env;able
record of Frank A. Graham of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, Baltimore.
Father" Graham, as he is affection
ately known by the officials and en-
ployees of the company, has been as
ISOLATED with the telephone organiza-
ton longer than any other member of
the organization now on active duty.
His record is considered nothing short
of phenomenal, both in the telephone
industry and elsewhere. In spite Of
his long period of active service, Mr..
Graham is young, both in appearance
and in enthusiasm.
Entering the service of the tele-
phone company in Baltimore. August
z, 1879, as messenger boy in the first
central Office. established there, Mr..
Graham has served in a number of
capacities. His first duty consisted
in delivering messages received over
the telephone. In those days the tele-
phone was not as universally used as
1t Is today. Few business firms and
still fewer residents enjoyed the priv
ilege of telephone service. Conse-
quently, messengers were employed by
the company to deliver the messages

Interior Trim of Home
REQUIRES Good Varnish

Protection of the various surfaces,
beauty Of effect. sanitation and dura-
bility are all to be considered in paint
ing, vanishing and finishing Of walls.
woodwork and floors In the new build
ing.
The first item of Importance is the
selection Of good paint and varnish.
The best will cost little more per
gallon, but fewer gallons will be need
ed. Select a good painter, If you are
not an expert yourself. The right
kind of paint, plus some one who
knows how to use 1t, and good wood
will make beautiful interior.
The standing trim, doors, etc..
should first receive attention. They
should be stained with a good pene-
trating stain. If the wood is open
grained oak, it should be paste-filled.
Twenty-four hours should be allowed
for the stain to dry.
Twelve hours after the wood has
been paste-filled, the work should be
sanded. the dust wiped off and coat
Of orange shellac applied. II paste
filler Is used, 1t should match the
stain. The orange shellac should be
used only over brownish or reddish
tones of stain. Use white shellac over
all the other cOlors.
On window stools, sash rails, base
boards or floors. all exterior surfaces.
and other surfaces exposed to much
weather or moisture, do not use shell
lac or liquid flllers. but apply good
floor or spar varnish directly over the
stain or paste filler.

cross ventilation is assured.
The large tree, just visible at the
left in the photograph and the low
shrubbery, close to the house at the
front, do much to enhance the gen.
eral appearance of this home. Good
treatment Of the surrounding grounds
is a very important matter to the
home owner who would like his home
attractive. Even a good house may
fail to attract If the ground about it
Is left barren or Is not well planted.
while an otherwise plain little home
may be greatly improved by good
landscaping.

Hot Water

No home may be considered modern
today without the convenience Of ever

Without 1t the bathroom, the kitchen

mockery Of their intended usefulness.
Its Importance to clean, comfortable
living cannot be Overestimated.

berland, Franklin, Knox, Lincoln and
PiscataquiS.
Mr.. Brown declared that the seal
ers who have reported have done ex-
ceptionally well this year in cover

attention to the measure of gasoline

States activities in making a general
check-up, of gas pumps during the

Receive Live Food
For Trout, Salmon
In State Aquarium

The big trout and salmon who have
their abode in the tanks of the
aquarium at the State museum are
sure of plenty of provender to last
them through long. tough winter
The first part of this week a ship
ment Of upwards OF 1000 fat. active
sinners of the correct size for pickerel
bait from Lake Cobbosseecontee and
were placed in one of the spare tanks
IN the Museum, which proved barely
big enough to hold the silvery little
fellows.
That tank is probably the best
populated fish tank in this part or
the country. and its occupants are
distinctly out of luck. Whenever the
big trout, salmon, bass and pickerel
in the other tanks get hungry. a sort
of Selective Draft is made on the
minnow tank, and so or 100 of the
smaller fish are turned over to the
mercies, if any, of their larger and
more cannibalistic broth-rs.
Feeding time at the Aquarium is a
striking demonstration of the old law
Of the Survival of the Fittest, and
rom the minute the live minnows
are@dumped into a thankful of hungry
trout or salmon, a scene of exciting
chase ensues, until the last scurrying
minnow goes head-fi down the
yawning mouth of the pursuing game
fish.
1t is tough on the hinnow, but
Cobbosseecontee fishermen who know
that the big lake is altogether too
well stocked with these little chaps,
are heartily in favor of the proceed
ure, and only wish that there were
big fish enough in the : rum to
devour all the minnows II the lake,
provided they could be captured. for
this purpose.
