The present arrangement is quite unsatisfactory to every ona who wants to use the telegraph wires. While the permission to use the telephone for sending in telegrams is good enough in those cases, there are times when ' persons do not wish a message over the phone, and must go to the office to deliver it in person. In such cases it is both dangerous and inconvenient to cross the double tracks of the Pennsylvania, and climb two flights of stairs into the tower. It would seem that the company receives enough business from Plymouth to afford the city better facilities for giving their business. Some place could be arranged in the central part of town for the reception and dispatching of messages, and some such place should be provided. An effort should be made toward a change for the better in this matter, and it is prob.iblo that the ComtneTci;! Club will take it up nJ do something.

The Slave of the Steel God

THE rows of slender chiuneys piercing the blackened roots oi the stupendous shacks known as "th work," vomited their dense masses o' sulphurous smoke into the alread poisoned atmosphere, and steam pipe spurted viciously here and there be low; half a dozen cupolas flared wit) red and violet, against the darkei drift or faded In a pale glow as a reck lees wind puffed the settling cloudi away. Inside the works a thousand oi more pairs of hands gripped lever, bar shovel handle, hammer, rammer o cable as the mighty muscles behind them strained and relaxed unceasing ly to a multitudinous clangor bf meta on metal and the creak and screan and whirr of wheels and pulleys. In one of a thousand and mor shacks that were not stupendous eav in their grime and bare ugliness, thi blinds were down in that room facing the main avenue of cinders. It was Lafe Spinney's shack. "Lafe' is, of course, the familiar abbreviatioi of Lafayette, who, it will be remem bered, risked his life and spent his money in the cause of American free dom. Somebody in the Spinney familj must have admired him. at the tim the christening took places if then was a christening. A few hours before, Lafe Spint-j had been one of the thousand or mon toilers in the works. He had started in at one end of a line of furnaces naked to the waist, raking, stirring anc feeding their searing fires until h reached the other end, and theo back again. Twelve hours of it at a shift and if you don't like the Job, why this is a free country and you know what you can do. The blinds were down, but Mr. Spinney was not dead. Far from it. lit was only 36 years old and, bar acci dents, good for another 10 years of it His eye was closed and his mouth was opep. and from that mouth proceeded a rhythmic snore, broken at regular intervals by a choke and t In the adjoining kitchen, Mrs. Spinney 'busied herself at the stove, trieo to restrain the activity of four children in semi-clean dresses and ribbons and looked a good deal at thi clock. As the noon whistle blew Mrs. Spin ney pushed the coffee pot to the back cf the stove, took an odorous herrin from the oven, looked at the clock again and sighed. -I hate to wake him," she said. " don't think we ought to wake him at that." Four shrill voices were raised Ir protest. ' "Well, then, hush your racket," said the mother. She put bread on the table with the herring and surveyed the food disparagingly. "Hunkies grub it Is." she grumbled. "But It might b worse easy enough. Now, if I can turn my back for a minute without you mixing up your duds, I'll go wake him up." It was no easy matter to wake him He muttered and swore, half arost and rolled back again, and woulc have slept but for his wife's persistence. At last he lurched half hi: bulk from the bed, sat up, and noddec" drowsily at his shoes. "Come," said his wife 6harply, bui with a pitying look. "The lunch Is all put up, and your brikfus Is read and the children is crazy to be a-goinV "Going?" repeated Laie. "A-going where?" "To the park," snapped the woman "Don't you know? Wake up now!" Presently he came clumping intc the kitchen, a tall, ungainly figure. with a scarred face and an empty eye socket, his shoulders bowed and hi! hair grizzled by the stress of his 3t yea I. "Without a wörd, he seated himself at the table and devourec the food wolfishly. Then he turned his one eye on his family in a not un kindly regard. -Well, you all ready V he asked. There was a chorus of assent and he smiled horribly, for, owing to th exigencies of the steel business, he couldn't smile any other way. "We're all a-waiting on you," said his wife. "Hurry, now, and gel ready." He hurried and 60on he was at the head of a small procession that straggled along the cinder path toward the car line.' A neat patch was over the empty eye-socket and he was in hi black best, with a celluloid collar torturing his sinewy neck. It would take too long to tell the events of the street car ride that took the Spinneys from the gloom and oppression of "the works" Into the sunlight and air of the park.. There were events, as when the conductor tried to charge full fare for Evelyn, and when Lafe Junior nearly fell ou: of the window in his eagerness to observe an asphalt gang. In fact, the trip, itself was an event and a big event. . But the point is that they got to the park, that it was possible for a mas to work a 12-hour night-shift and ye. have time to take his family on a littU excursion, before returning to work. We have seen that Lafe Spinne) slept, and that he ate. Now he was passing spare time loafing around on the grass with his pipe In his mouth and the debris of a lunch scattered about him. He. misht.

Th first time a man speaks In publlo he probably suffers more agony In a shorter space of time than at any other part of his career Young Franklngton felt the truth of this verk keenly the other day when he found himself facing an audience of free and Independent voters at an lection. He had . prepared a very fervid oration in support of his father's candidacy, but for the first few moments he could do nothing but gasp. Then, in response to an encouraging cheer, he began to speak. "Mr. Mr. Chairman." he stammered, "when I when I left home this evening only two people on this earth my father and myself knew what I was going to say; but now well, now, only father knows." Tid Bits Knew When to Stop. The shrewd lawyer knows when to stop questioning, and none is more shrewd than the one who, conducting a case of bribery, Questioned a man the other day who is rated high in the business world. "Have you yourself ever refused a bribe?" he1 asked. "No, but" "That is all," s.aid the lawyer. At a later time he was asked why he had dismissed the witness so BOOn. "Because," he replied, "I knew by the 'but' that he was going to tell me no one had ever attempted to bribe him." New York Times.

COMMISSIONERS HAVE SHORT SESSION TOR MAY TERMNOT MUCH BUSINESS OF IMPORTANCE. HARBAUGH IS JUSTICE Coal Contracts Let For County Insiitntions New Arches and - Bridge Repairs Asked For. The board of county commissioners completed their work for the May term on Tuesday, as well as the special session with the Fulton county commissioners. The coal Contract was let for the year, Stansbury & Robbins getting the privilege of furnishing 50 tons of egg coal for the jail at the price of $4.10 per ton; and the O'Keefe Lumber Co. furnishing 150 tons of nut coal for the asylum and 90 tons for the courthouse. Surveyor Schoonover was givent more time to get ready the design fo the new bridge in section 7 German township. ' On petition of seven residents of Lapaz, Oliver Harbaugh was made a justice of the peace for that place. Wm. Everly very kindly took the joint board of commissioners out to see the county farm and up to Mrs. Work's Training school. The petition of Trustee M. M. Beck for Tippecanoe Was granted for the reflooring and repainting of the Range line bridge and the bridge west of Tippecanoe; and also for the painting of the following bridges: Flory, Gross and Atha,and all over the Tippecanoe river. Trustee John Luty of Bourbon asked for the building of two . new concrete arches, and this was granted.

A crowd of prominent young men gathered at city ball plaza a few nights ago and discussed at great length what they deemed cures for Insomnia. One of the parly happened to be a law student who had at one time read the contents of a medical book. He declraed that in order to obtain sound sleep one should shun all defies, such as counting from one to a thousand and thoughts of walking backwards and think of. something soothing, such, as soft gray clouds or drink warm milk before retiring. "Oh, I know of a better remedy man that," exclaimed another member of the party. "vhat?" cuorused the group. "Try to figure out how to keep a wife and three kids, pay rent, buy ice, coal and food on a salary of $10 a week," said that sage of Strawberry Mansion. And the Judge Dreamed On While trying an old woman on a charge of stealing faggots a judge who had acquired the habit of thinking aioud unconsciously exclaimed: "Why, one faggot is as like another faggot as one egg is like another egg."

A woman can persuade a man to do anything she wishes by letting him do all the talking. There are men who can butt In in such a way as to make you think they did it by invitation.
