HIS SIGN
A little boy was walking
down the strets of a town where
whiskey was sold when he saw
the town drunkard lying in the
gutter in front of a saloon.
i He called out to the saloon
keeper to come to the front.
The saloon keeper did so and
said,“Well what do you want?”
The little fellow pointed to
the drunk man and said,“I just
wanted to tell you that your
sign had fell down.”—Ex.

One Helped Him to

vices from this place, Mr. A. ]. Hughes
vrites as follows: "1 was down with
6tomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that 1 thought surely 1 would die.
1 tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any gpod.
I got so b~d, 1 could not eat or sleep,
and all my tr ends, except one, thought 1
would die He advised me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. I decided to
take his advice, although I did not have
any confidence in it.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven’t had those awful sick headaches
since 1 began using it.
1 am so thankful for what Black
Draught has done for me.”

found a very valuable medicine for de
rangements of the stomach and liver, it
I is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and oid, and should be
kept in every family chest.

A HELLO GIRL'S BRAVERY
PRESENCE OF MIND ENABLES
CAPTURE OF ROBBERS.
Wires Are Cut, But She Is Resource
ful Enough to Overcome
Obstacles.
Little Rock.—Officials of the South
western Telephone company here
point with pride to the exploit of Miss
Clara Grassl, the operator heroine of
Andale, Kan., who recently saved the
| bank in her town from a hold night
, robbery. S. A. I>ane, division coni
1 mereial superintendent, who has just
returned from the BelLeotapany head
quarters at St. Louis, heard there the
story from an eye witness in the em
ploy of the Kansas company. He gives
details of the exploit that were omit
ted by the dispatches in the pai>ers at
: the time.
"It isn't everyone who can go to
sleep at the side of a switchboard on
a stormy night and wake up suddenly
and play the heroine,” said Mr. Lane
yesterday, “but that is what Clara
Grassl. Bell operator in the little town
of Andale, Kan., did. They say that
she was awakened by hammering on
MISS CLARA GRASSL,
Andale, Kan.
the door of the exchange. She also
heard a noise in the street outside. A
man’s voice demanded admittance.
This girl suddenly decided that there
was mischief a foot. She reached for
her revolver and fired a shot through
the door ‘just for luck.’ The intruder
went away.
"In a few moments Clara tele
phoned her father of the incidt nt and
he started from his home to the tele
phone exchange. In front of the bank
he was turned hack by robbers on
guard outside. He hurried home and
telephoned his daughter that tie bank
was being robbed. She telephoned the
town marshal and a score of c itizens.
"The robbers had cut the long-dis
tance wires, but the resourceful ope
rator got connection with Wichita by
means of rural lines and notified the
police of that city.
"A battle was soon raging on the
streets of the little town that winter
night. The telephone exchange was
in the range of fire, but the operator
sat at her post and continu'd to call
for reinforcements.
“The robber- were routed ! final
ly captured and the hank wa aved
through this girl’s coolnes;, resource
fulness and heroism. All he would
say about the affair was that he had
done her duty. 1 regard hi r actions
of that night as an inspiration to
every telephone operator in tie coun
trv, yes, and to ever; young woman
who is working for a living. The
chance to do great things docs not
lie alone in great citie or in centers
of activity. Telephone oftic’als and
employi - the country o.er are proud
of the example set by t lit: young ope
rator in time of danger and public
need."

Army of Workers Necessary to Manu

by Company.
St. Louis, Mo.- A fair i I a of the
enormous expense inctiri 1 hy tele
phone companies in maintaining serv
ice may lie liad from tho report of the
Western Electric company at Haw
thorne. 111., which manufactures the
equipment for the Hell Telephone sys
tem. This report shows that for one
i month alone the emergency ship
ments made by the Western Electric
included 150 cars of poles, 16,000
miles of wire, 14.000 cross-arms, 50
miles of cable, 50 miles of strand,
200,000 insulators and 1,000,000
pounds of hardware, tools, tape, etc.
While the heaviest expense occurs, of
course, during the winter months, the
work and necessity of repair is con
tinuous and the wear and tear on the
equipment requires the telejvlieue peo
ple to reconstruct and repvir during
every day of the year.
