The telephone is a vast con
venience and without it we
would die of loneliness and sore
f jet. But like all blessings it is
not appreciated. Thirty years
ago it took an hour to go down
town and get the baseball scores.
Now-a-days if a fan waits half a
minute at the telephone before
his suspense is relieved they
have to burn sulphur over the
house to get the conversation out
of it, says George Fitch.
The telephone has ruined th e j

has increased profanity 1,100 per
cent, and the person who can
say “ hello” twice without re
versing the word and saying it
backwards is considered' too
good for this world.

The place to take a true man’s
measure is not in the market
place or in the amen corner, .nor
in the forum or in the field, but
by his own fireside. There he
lays aside his mask and you may
learn whether he is an imp or an
angel, king or cur, hero or hum
bug. We care not what the
world says of him whether they
crown him or pelt him with bad
eggs; we care not a copper what
his reputation or religion may be,
if his babies dread his home
coming; if his better half swal
lows her heart every time she
asks him for a five dollar bill,he’s
a fraud of the first water, even
though he prays night anti morn
till he is black in the -face and
howls halleluja until he shakes
the eternal hills. But if his
children rush to the front gate
to greet him, and love’s sun
shine illuminates the face of his
wife when she hears his foot
step, you can take it for granted
that he is true gold, for his home
is a heaven and the humbug

Plea to Slay on Ground.
Atlantic City, N. J.—Viewing the

Inlet. Marshall Earle Reid, well known
aviator, who for two years hns fur
nished thrills nt shore resorts and else
where, said:
“ I atn through with flying for good.
I'll consider myself lucky in this tum
ble and call it square. If there is any
thing exciting in the game that I have
not tried out in the two years of my
career as an aviator I shall leave it for
some one else to tackle. For me it is
no more playing the bird man. I do
not exactly regret having been in the
business, for I have made $12,000.
"My mother hns urged me time and
again to stop flying. I think she knows
better than I do myself that the money
Is not worth it. My other relatives
have joined in plendlng with me also.
I guess I’ ll heed tills call now.
“ One thing 1 am thankful for, and
this is that no human life hns been

in aviation. It was n close call, they
toll me. hut here I am, and mighty
lucky, I think, to be here. Anyway, I'll
take the tumble ns a friendly hint to
seek some other means o f livelihood.
So it's me for the dry nnd solid land
hereafter."
Reid was reminded of his mother's
desire that he should quit aviation by
the loss o f a ring that his mother gave
him.
