Sam Iverson has had a public office ever. since he was twenty-one years old, and it would be a downright shame to cut him off now in his old age—Crosby Crucible.

Government Ownership Government ownership of the tele graph, and possibly the telephone will soon receive serious discussion it Congress. It 1s argued that the government is in a position to operate both tele graph and telephone at a much lest cost than private companies; that it would save the rent private compan- ies are paying for its 23,000 offices by having these stations in the postof- fices; that the telegrams could be de- livered by messenger boys already employed by the special delivery de- partment of the postoffice. The telegraph companies are ca- Dpitalized at $200,000,000. It is claimed that only $50,000,000 of this sum re- presents actual value, and that the lines could be duplicated new for pro- bably $20,000,000. To pay dividends on this estimated $160,000,000 of watered stock, it is obvious the companies must either hold wages abnormally low, or raise rates artificially high. They are doing both. The great indictment to be brought against the private telegraph mono poly of this country is that it fafls to serve the public. The American people have no idea of the possibilities of the telegraph—how it is possible to cheapen the service so that it can be used econmically by everyone for so- cial communication. MY FAVORITE AUTHOR. I have a certain bookcase where Behind a curtain lurks A row of books beyond compare, My favorite author's works. 1 finger o'er the well loved tomes. 1 reverently note The various essays, novels, pomes, My favorite author wrote. All eagerly the leaves I turn, Read here and there a line. Ah, words that ring! Ah, thoughts, that burn! Ah, style so true and fine! How well the characters are drawn! ‘What charm! . What atmosphere! Bubtle, yet vivid as the dawn; Mystle, vet crystal clear. And poems of such metric art, Such rhythm, rime and rune! Burely these lines came from a heart To melody attune! AR, they are wondrously well done, The books on that long shelf! I thrill to think that every one ‘Was written by myself! ~Carolyn Wells in Lippincott's. PRACTICAL ‘HEALTH HINT. When Baby Cries. A baby may cry because it is hungry—and frequently it does— but it has other causes of com- plaint. Therefore when baby cries— Look ‘for some cause besides hunger. especially if it has just been fed. Don't stuff a nipple in its ‘mouth and let it go at that. Perhaps it is tired of lying in one position so long. Turn it over, Quite lEkely 1t is thirsty. Give it a drink of cooled boiled water ~no ice In it. 5 Perchance Its clothes are un- comfortably tight. or a pin may be sticking it. Correct this. It may- be complaining about being too warm. Make it com- fortable by removing all unnec- essary clothing. Perhaps it is tired of being fondled and wants to be let alone. Let it sleep all it will— always alone. Don’t handle the baby more than s actually nec- essary. Cut out the “upsie-dai- _sy” and ‘“trot-trot to Boston” business. Maybe it is objecting to the ‘quality of ‘the air of the room.
