In a old book which I, have in my library I found the following poem by John G. Saxe, who satirized the aitempt in these words: . - , uoia uyms rieid, he says, says ' he, - o, - 'I have a pretty notion. That I can lay a teleiraph Across the Atlantic ecean. 'Then ait the people lahghed, and said " . ' Wed like to Bee hlm'Io It! He may get half seas over. But he hyer can gp.thrtough it.' i unhindered by ridiciile and laugnter, however, --fielS went ahead, and after-'several! unsuc cessful attempts, on Julyik 1866, the first cable' was completed and communication - - established : . be tween the United States and Great Britain. i There la an Id-fashioaed 4rint in Harper's r. Weekly of .that day which shows the' first cable office at X95 Broad wayj New Yorkf City, crowded with men In longfrck coats and "tall -"stovepipe" hats, the women in hoopsklrts and little flat hats, 'sending cablegrams across th Atlantic fo(r 11 per", let ter, or iy p per message Tfo w; the rate for here to London for fast service is 34 cets per word.

It Is ; not uncommon to complete stock and other transactions be tween New York and Liverpool within the short period of three minutes, . !' ! World Wide Connections ' ; Today there are over 300 cables owned Tyt cable companies which tog. ther with quite a large num ber of cables of lessor length own ed by various governments, aggre gate 300,600 miles of cable. - In the ! interests of increasing foreign trade as well as increas ing the business of the telegraph company, our foreign representa tives, have acted ia the same ca pacity as ' consuls of the 1 United States. For Instance, If a concern In ' Salem i desires ,to -increase Its business In the Argentine or Bra til. torexample, a dealer in hops may desire to extend bis business, our representative in South Amer lea will endeavor to secure a list of those who, may be interested In the Importation of hops. Thus, you jeej yrhUe Increasing the for eign business we are at the same time "providing revenue for our cables. " I s ' " J 1 Recently had the pleasure of listening tto the president of one of the great trans-continental rail roads " serving this section of the country In which he called alten- XioTL to. the fact that because of the improvement in transportation facilities, I whleh results in moving shipments from coast to coast in much shorter time, it was no long er' necessary'f or merchants to or der In large quantities, for new stocks can how.be kept moving and can j be '"secured daily. The use of the telegraph also makes this possible, for" that which he needs totnorrow may be ordered by the telegraph today. ' The merchant reduces his stock. cutting down his investment, re ducing his overhead, his insurance, his taxes and his telegraph was to be used lh case of emergency only. Today It jis vitally necessary in all business land in all walks of life. The business man employs the tel egraph to keep In constant touch with his salesmen: the out of town merchant uses the telegraph In placing his orders, and through its use and through quick trans portation; facilities he finds it un necessary to tie up large amounts of capital.' The manufacturers, jobbers,' and all classes of business men have learned that the tele gram possesses an attention-com pelling rower. It goes direct to thtfTnan jnteregtedr uisthe first of all communications to receive attention and never ; reaches the waste basket. ; ' ; (M mm, m, 9m m m eauiy jGleamyThicIc, Wavy Hair in a Moment Overstu 1 P.: ttea DISCONTINUED PATTERNS urditure PIRHT TELEGRAMS ' ' 'SENT'ON ONE WIRE (OonUpnM frost V . t j tai take a atroU tbpogja one of our j larra relav offices you would find ft'fomiiuT oi voung ladles sitting at a typewriter key board punch ing a tape so full' of holes that w-hen it la completed It very much resembles'a section' of old pdlntl laceT bWwhen Thla Mme Upe is passed througbt:a" amall" letrlc; transmitter at the left hand ot the tvnlst it causes a staccato tune to be played on the type bars. of a ' 'JlS virr'itTTi7""t 111 i i i i'i ffT'i I T i h i' .tssSjPSl h ii i I iii'i 1 nil ' f iiiiiiiiiilor yrjxrr f'-MPl ' (mv) fl"1 " v t&Zs y V iCoughs 1 4 f'i i - -,,1 ureaic Up.:..-- QiiicMy When you use .

When combing and brushing your hair, just mois ten your hair brush with a little "Danderine" and hrush it through your hair. The effect is startling! You can dress your hair immedi ately and it will; appear twice as thick and heavy, an abundance of gleamy, wavy hair, sparkling with life, incomparably soft, j fresh, youthful. Besides beautifying the hair, a 35-cent bottle of ; refreshing, frag rant "Danderine? from any drug or toilet counter will do wonders, particularly it the ihair Is dry, thin, brittle, faded or Btreaked with gray from constant curling and waving which burn the color, lustre and very life from any woman's hair. "Danderine" acts on the hair like fresh showers of rain and sunshine act on vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigor ates, nourishes and strengthens them, stopping - falling hair and helping the hair to grow thick, healthy and luxuriant. Adv.
