Why One Young Chicago Matron Has Had Her Phone Taken From : the Party Line.

The inconvenience of a party line telephorie was amusingly illustrated in the home of a young couple in the suburbs not long ago, relates the Chi~2go Journal. : The telephone instrument for some reason was located in a large closet. ‘A hard shower came up suddenly while ihe six-year-old gon was at Kkindergarten, and as it was near closing time and Bobby was all unprepared for rain uiis mother went to the telephone to order a taxi to call for him. Much to her annoyance, when she took down the receiver she heard unmistakable Indications of a lengthy conversation: “Take a cup of sugar, two eggs . . .” but rather than lose her opportunity of putting in her call as soon as the renversation ceased she remained in tbe closet. Impatiently she waited, taking down the recelver at short intervals, only to hear: “Then bake in a slow oven . . .” and “"No, this recipe never falls. I always use it .« ' but was fimally rewarded by hearing the final “Goodby, «call me up again when we can have time .for a long visit.” After at last giving her order to the taxi man she - emerged from the closet hot and cross, only to find that the sun was shining brightly. Ten minutes later up drove Bobby in state. all smiles and enthusiasm at his unexpected treat. That was the last straw. The telephone still remains in the closet, but the party line iS no more. S

POOR REWARD FOR BRAVERY

Evidently the Police in Some Parts of France Have Queer Notions and ~ Are Not Strong on Common Sense.

Passengers: on the Bordeaux-Cette express in France were saved from a holdup by a masked bandit owing to the pluck of a railroad man who happened to be traveling on the train. Feigning sleep he waited until the bandit was leaning over him. Then suddenly he pulled a revolver and covered the outlaw, who was then disarmed and arrested by the passengers. The latter were surprised to learn next day that this smart act is being rewarded by ‘a fine of one franc and the confiscation of the revolver—the local police authorities having found nothing better to do than prosecute for the possession of firearms withéut a license. . To this must be added a sum of about fifty francs for the legal costs of the case. : 15

- It seems that the local police who would not have caught the bandit in a score of years, have few cases in which they can prosecute and are glagd to jump at every opportunity to show their zeal. :

Women Won't Eat Standing.

“Women are making a howl about their rights, and they are doing right well in their efforts to be men,” remarked the old grouch, “but they are not taking full advantage of their opportunities. They are smoking cigarettes and rolling their own, they have their shoes shined in regular shine parlors, they run their own automobiles—those who have ’em—they wear wrist watches and they carry fountain pens that won’t write. But they are overlooking the right to eat vertically. They refuse to stand up while they inhale their soup and imbibe thelir pastry. Go into - these restaurants that have stand-up ,htables and look for a woman tackling her food in a vertical position. She just isn’t: She never will be entirely emancipated until she can eat and run without getting up.” ; |

A Faithful Sexton.

“It may be questioned,”. says a southern man, “if important personages derive as much satisfaction from their greatness a 8 do Ssome lesser holders of authority that magnify their office. In my town there is an amusing old colored sexton, a most efficient one, too, who i 8 a very odd character. : jn ey ;

“About a month after the coming of a new minister to his church he was met in the street by an old parishioner who asked: 7

% ‘Well, Moses, how is the new minister going to do? : “4Oh,’ sald Moses, ‘we is gittin’ him into shape by degrees.'” :

Would Sacrifice Tooth for Dime,

Carroll had a tooth pulled and through ' -some miraculous agency known ‘' only to mothers and fathers that tooth placed under his pillow at night had turned into a silver dime. Not many days later Carroll presented himself at his father's office and demanded that another tooth be pulled. Upon father's refusal Carroll grew insistent and finally between sobs of grief he explained: 2 “Walter hasn't any kite, and kites cost 10 cents at the book store, and I wanted you to pull my tooth so I could put it under my pillow tonight, and then in the morning I would have a dime and could buy Walter a kite.”

Unanimous. In one of the towns of the Pacific coast a distinct earthquake shock was felt recently, and when the municipal ‘building rocked perceptibly the city fathers, then in session, left without Dbothering about the usual formulas. The clerk, a man of rules and regulations, was hard put to it to give his ‘minutes the proper official tone.

Beautiful woodwork, exquisite decorations and numerous other details which go towards making the house a real home lose their respective value if the one predominating factor, ELECTRICITY, that gives real convenience is omitted. The architect and contractor can work out the details of beauty but the Electric Contractor puts the real enjoyment and convenience into your home with Electricity. o o el S

To do without this important factor is to deprive your home of the fullest enjoyment and pleasure. The house that is wired for complete Electric ' Service is the home of complete comfort. Every home desires this comfort and every home canhaveit. e L e T

If your house is not wired now, make. a real home out of it by wiring at once.
