RURAL TELEPHONES
INCREASING FAST
(Continued from first page.)
syLeni, It alone has sold over eighty
thousand rural telephones within the
past six months.
An up-to-date farmer once said that
he would as soon think of mowing his
hay with an old-fashioned scyitbe as
of trying to conduct his farm success
fully without a telephone. These
are the days whe.i agricultural Amer
ica is reclaiming so-called waste
land; is buying farm implements
that reduce toil and Increase pro
ductiveness and the telephone Is the
Instrument that Is going hand-in-hand
with all these improvements In the
rural communities.
The farmer or ranchman who sells
his products or stock keeps- well In
formed on the fluctuations of the
market by means of the telephone.
He sells at the top price and calls
his phone a real money-saver. If
there is sickness In the house be
can locate the doctor even if he has
to phone across the county. He can
get in quick communication with the
veterinary surgeon if some one of his
precious animate becomes suddenly
Indisposed. For his wife and children
there is a means of enlivening the
long day by conversations and ex
change of visits with, neighbors.
Neighbors on Western farms are of
ten many miles apart but they can
be brought nearer than next door
wWi the aid of the telephone.
These are some of the many reas
ons why rural phones Jumped 449 per
cent. In the United States and 2,350
per cent, in the far west in five
years. It can truly be said that the
country telephone has had Its part
in the winning of the west.

A LITERARY AFFAIR
By ARTHUR D. BERWICK.
(Copyright, 1909, by American Prena Asso
ciation.! 11 was a pretty towu. but Inordinate
ly dull. The brunt-hen of the tree
formed an arch over the Httvets-tuey
were rather roads-diving In summer n
delicious shade. Hut few pwple walk
ed ou them, and wur there was a
footstep it sounded loud. In winter
there was uo sound at all. for snow
covered the ground, and even wheels
could not be beard.
He went, there In midsummer. He
didn't go from choice. He wan obliged
to go. There was a deal on. and be
must niauage It from this quiet spot.
His work was principally waiting for
people to make up tbelr minds to sell
what they owned and for instructions.
The town possessed a dainty little
library. He went there for something
to read. There was a cheerful ap
pearance Inside, logs, biasing In a
broad tiled fireplace. The librarian,
a girl of twenty, stepped to the desk,
"I would like a book of some klud."
he said. "I'm cooped up here with lit
tle to do and iuMifferubly bored."
-JThere were booksonthe desk which
heook up and scanned listlessly.
"What book would yon likeV asked
the librarian.
"I haven't the slightest Idea."
"You'll find the card rnck over
there."
"Couldn't you suggest something?"
"Fiction r
"Yes."
"Have you read 'Robinson CrusoeT "
"Yes. when a boy. Why should 1
rend that now?"
"Well. Crusoe was alone on bis Is
land; you are alone here. You might
get some suggestion from hltn as to
how to occupy your time."
"Thank you; I'd rather rend this.
The Heart's Highway. I could do
better in recorameudlng books to you."
"What would you suggest?"
'"Put Yourself In His Place.' "
"That's Impossible. You are a man.
I a woman. You are a stranger; I am
at home here."
"I am a bachelor, and you. I pre
sume, are n maid."
"How would "When a Man's Single'
suit you?"
"I think I should like It better than
'Robinson Crusoe.' Would it help me?"
"Possibly. When you have finished
it you might take np this one: "It Is
Never Too Late to Mend.'" She
blushed as she said it.
"The one appears to be a natural
sequel of the other. What's this, 'Red
as a Rose Is She?' "
She blushed still deeper.
"We ore not getting oh. I wish a
novel to while away the time, and I
don't find one.
"You are right. This conversation
can do you no good, and it might pro
duce" "'Bitter Fruit." be interrupted,
reading the title of a volume she
handed blm.
She turned away, and he. going to
the card rack, fingered the cards for
awhile in silence, looking aside occa
sionally at the girl, who sat by the fire
reading. Presently he selected a book.
She jabbed it with a stamp and. glanc
ing at the title, gave her bead a slight
toss. It was "A Passing Fancy."
"Better take that," she said, handing
him "A Bit of a Rogue."
He came again the next day and the
next, taking out books and keeping
up the same sort of chat till the
autumn arrived. Then he finished his
work and before leaving went to the
library to return what books remained
with blm.
"I go tomorrow," be said, "Thanks
for the books. This one," laying "The
Wooing O't" on the desk, "I have en
Joyed very much." He looked at her
with an unmistakable glint lu his eye.
"I thought you would prefer 'A Mid
summer Madness.'"
"I warn you that you may cast ridi
cule on my feelings"
"Once Too Often,'" stamping a
book of that name.
"Have you considered what I said to
you the last time I was here?" be
asked.
" "Yes, and I regard It" the stamp
come down on-"A Flirtation With
Truth."
"How can you say that? I told you
I loved you and wished you to be my
wife, giving you time for considera
tion." "And my answer is that I prefer this
retreat and independence to the city
and slavery to an artificial life."
He stood regarding her lugubriously.
Presently bis eye, falling to the desk,
lighted on a book. He took it up and
banded It to her. It was "A Woman's
No."
Thus far the desk had been between
them. Lifting the latch to the gate
that shut blm off from the interior,
he went Inside. She was leaning on
the desk. He stole bis arm around her
waist and spoke low in ber ear:
'"I came Into this librnry a few
months ago to seek solace from loneli
ness. I found it. but not In the books
I have taken out. for I have not read
one of tbem. Nevertheless. I appreci
ate them because they have afforded
ns a language of love. They have
served as shields to that diffidence
which hedges a newborn affection. But
they are no lonper needed. Let us now
talk plainly. Tell me, do you lore me.
and will you marry me?"
"I will."
When he returned to the city he was
commended for his patience In remain
ing In a dull country town until every
bit of the work assigned him had been
satisfactorily closed. It was only when
the winter came on and they received
his wedding cards that tbey under
stood the reason for his acquiescence
