Street cars, stores, banks and restau- rants have their “rush hours’ when some delays in service are unavoidable. The public, with the situation before its eyes, good naturedly accepts a degree of incon- venience. There are “rush hours” in a telephone exchange. With business service the “loads” of telephone trafhic are determined pd commercial activities, banking hours, —the “load” of the residence telephone varies with household and social needs. The demands upon the telephone oper- ator and a complicated mechanical equ ment cannot be seen, but telephone trafhc varies in every hour of every day accord- ing to the individual desires of thousands of patrons. If there should be at times a delay in answering your call, remember that trained young women with nimble fingers are do- ing their best to serve you, and that at the moment there may be a “rush” of telephone traffic. The exercise of patience and considera- tion will mean better service. The Pacific Telephone And Telegraph Company |NO HUNTING ALLOWED.

In the year 1890 he was united in the sacred bonds of wedlock to Miss Bernardine Herzog who | died about 2 years ago. Of this | happy union, which knew of no clouds than those dispensed by a| loving Providence for the salva- | tion of His elect, a family of 9} children came in turn to enliven the domestic hearth and gladden | the hearts of the God-fearing | parents viz: Bernard, Theodore, | Joe, and another boy, who died in his young years; Mary (Mrs. Henry Schaeffer), Annie (Mrs. Joe Schaeffer) of Ferdinand; Lena, Teresa (Sister M. Martina, O. S. B. of St. Gertrudes) and Dorothy. Mr. Gehring seems to have carried in himself for a while al- ready the germs of the illness which last Thursday suddenly | developed with irresistible pow- er. Active till the last, he had attended to his arduous task of harvesting, but feeling stricken he requested that Dr. Shinnick be summoned, and by him was conducted to the St. Joseph's hospital at Lewiston to undergo |an operation. The sick man was | absolutely desirous to be brought under the care of the good sister nurses of the hospital. It since has come to light, throught the experts, that there could be no mortal hope of recovery for the | patient, owing to the inroads of | the disease. One can well imagine the amount of courage, endur- ance and pain this condition had meant for the sufferer. It must have ben a sweet con- solation to his loving paternal heart to witness, just 2 weeks previous to his death, the cere- mony of the religious profession | of one of his daughters, Teresa. He was present and the silent tears which trickled down from | his eyes bore testimony to the] joy of his heart. Was it the solemnity of the occasion or had} he caught a glimpse of the eter- nal shores, to which he was now} so near? Be this what it may, | Mr. Gehring, at that occasion easily gave one the impression | of an unwonted seriousness | which did not however detract | from his usual courtesy and kindness to those around him.

T.} could think that Mr. doles had the inner feeling that his day of labor on earth was filled and his task completed. No regret, no complaint escaped his lips. He had faced life with determina- tion, as iong as it was God’s holy will, but life had lost much of its interest for him ever since the departure of his beloved con- sort; and now, he had only one desire, which he repeatedly ex- pressed, and that was, “to go home,” he wished to die in order “to be with God.” Dear Father, dear relative, dear friend, may God in His goodness grant thy wish, such is our fervent prayer for thee.
