Little Tales to the News Kite. OMERO said his luck never deserted him till he faced a judge and jury. —-Anaconda Standard. It's a safe bet that Romero considers thirteen a mighty unlucky number. Professor Bingham spent several days with one tribe whose vocabulary is so limited that he believes it to consist of not over four hundred words.—New Haven Union. Then there’s one place in the world where neither the tariff nor suffrage are ever written about. Attorney-General Wickersham says that west he is damned because he does not presecute, and east he is damned be- cause he does.—San Francisco News Letter. Why doesn't he imitate the wily Yuan Shai Kai and play off the middle against the two ends? The body of G. E. Marsh was found yesterday by the Point of Pines Boule- vard. There were five bullet wounds in the body. The police believe Marsh was murdered.—Indianapolis Times. At first it was suspected death had re- sulted from acute indigestion, but this theory was reluctantly discarded. M. Poincare announces that a tax on bachelors will be seriously considered by the Ministry.—Paris Figaro. Clearly on the prin le that unimproved prop- erty should bear its share. We have received an informing pam- phlet from the Vicar of Claygate en- titled, “‘On the Importance of Breathing Properly. iverpool Mercury. Es pecially in sermon time must one take care not to stir suspicions of his being asleep. —Warsoich James Price. A Geographical Strike. “Some people has all de luck. Take dat ole Miss.

Ww Oliver Uptem Kidd The Tree System—The Bell System NOBLE tree thrives be- cause the leaves, twigs, branches, trunk and roots are all working together, each doing its part so that all may live. Neither the roots nor the branches can live without the other, and if the trunk is gir- dled so that the sap cannot flow, the tree dies. The existence of the tree depends not only on the ac- tivity of all the parts, but upon their being always connected together in the “tree system.” This is true also of that wonderful combination of wires, switchboards, tele- phones, employes and sub- scribers which helps make yp what is called the Bell elephone System. It is more than the vast machinery of communication, covering the country from ocean to ocean. Every part is alive, and each gives ad- ditional usefulness to every other part. The value of telephone ser- vice depends not only on the number of telephones, but upon their being always con- nected together, as in the Bell System.
