Smith cleared his throat; then, with %reat determination, launched out: “Youre one of those fellows who never really know what is being said to them; you're always pursuing some train of thought. Any one can tell half the time you are not listening by the faraway look in your eyes. You've offended a lot of people. Of course, it's terribly rude, only you don’t know it. You mustn't any more, old chap”— putting his hands on Jones’ shoulders. “Promise me you'll not.” Jones was then obliged to face his friend. “Just what were you saying?” he inquired in' a faraway voice. The Phoebe, of the Flycatcher Family. The phoebe, a small, grayish-brown bird, belongs to the flycatcher family. It takes its name from its monotonous “pewit, phoebe; phoebe, pewit,” continuously repeated, as )‘t flys about in search of a habitation,”The phoebe preys on insects, which it captures while on the wing, and is therefore of benefit to farmers. The common phoebe is also known as pewce and as pewit. It, however, should not be confused with the wood pewee, which is a different species of flycatcher. The Family Luxury.

En ' “ Is Your Hair Long? The fact that a person was ‘wrongly certiied as insane led to a discussion the other ¢ay as to whether long hair was a sign of insanity, London Answers s{ates. It was said that, although this was no evidence of insanity, it might prob- ably be probf of eccentricity. Many of our greatest geniuses®have pos- sessed remarkable crops of hair. It was once said that the love of music, or the possession of musical talents, tended to increase the zrowth of hair, and, indeed, when one looks’ round there are many instances to make this seem feasible. A great man once made a statement to the effect that there was only a thin dividing line between genius and lunacy. So if long hair is a sign of insanity and genius and there is only a thin dividing line between the two, it” behooves us to be very careful how we treat long-haireq, eccentric- looking individuals, for fear they prove to be some one too great to risk offending. —_—— World’s Largest Snake. The python is considered the largest snake in the world. It is found in the Fast Indies and in the Philippine fslands. Specimens- thirty feet long have been scen.

Much Good ‘Road Building. Last year recorded unthought ot road building activities- throughout the United States. A few years ago some narrowly bounded community might have done something to make the roads within its confines better. Such an act, however, was little cause for comment except locally. The au- nobile, with the range of travel it s brought within everyone's reach, had not been developed and could not have been used if it had. This means that the advent of the automobile has forced good roads. ’ Never Far Away - ' By Long Distance Telephone : A few miles away or several hundred,—it is all the - same by “Long Distance.” LN To keep in touch with home or business, to get infor- / mation quickly, to avoid expensive trips, or for any busi- ness or social purpose, ‘“Long Distance” is the best way. / Approximately half rates apply -beyond certain dis- tances for statioh-to-station calls after 8:30 p. m. and approximately quarter rates from rnidqight to 4:30 a. m. | Ask “Long Distance” for the rate fi;r. any class of service, at any 5 . time, to any point.
