Sweetheart
According to the niles^nd rePna
tlons of the telephone company, an
operator has no right to listen to con
versations over the wires in her
charge, but sometimes Edna could not
help overhearing snatches of conver
sation when she tested to see whether
some one in one of the booths was

"I'm so glad you're back," she cried,
then the voice at the other end re
called her to her duty. For the first
times he knew his last name, for the
caller asked that Mr. Frank Howard
be sent for and ga've the number of
his room.
Presently he came down in the ele
vator, his face beaming with gladness,
and Rdna foueht down a desire to
r
Howard nodded.
"She wanted to ku ow what you
were glad about. She thought at first
she had the wrong number."
"I was glad that she had come
'back,'* explained the girl. Somehow
those brown eyes compelled the truth.
Toa didn't call her for so long I
knew that you had quarreled and I
was glad that you were going to be
happy again."
"Been scenting a romance?" he said
with a smile. "She's been my sweet
heart ever since I was old enough to
love anyone. She's been out of town
Just got back ?.nd wanted to tell
me."
"I'll bet you're glad." It was not a
,. brilliant remark, but lt was the best
Edna could do. Howard smiled.
"I bet. I am," he agreed. "You see
I don't go home until late and she's
all alone, so I call her up to cheer
her."
1 ''Then you're married?" asked Edna
in dismay. Howard shook his head.
'That's my mother," he said with a
laugh. "She's the best sweetheart a
man ever had. I want you to meet
her some time. The night law class
comes to an end next week, and after
that I want to take you up to see
her." f
"Me? What for?" Edna's eyes
grew large,
'Tve been telling her a lot about
you," explained Howard. "She said
before she went away that she want
ed to meet you when she came back
and I told her that I would try and
get you to come up. Will you come?"
"Sure," said Edna, feeling her con
versational limitations, but too
startled to give expression to her feel
ings. "I can tell from her voice that
she's an awfully nice person. You
learn to tell voices whei you hear so
many of them over the wire."
T am glad you like her," said How
ard simply, "for I want you to like
us both. Do you think you will?"
"You mean-" Edna did not com
plete the sentence, but Howard un
derstood.
"Just that," he agreed.
T guess I do-now," confessed the
girl, "because I was awfully jealous
of your telephone sweetheart."
A Setback.
' He-Don't, you like all kinds of
birds.
Shes-No, I don't I hate a Jay.

t ^V'Giva* me,' said I, 'two- dollars'
worth of those!'
"The clerk, accustomed to sprink
ling a half dozen of the violets on the
top of a box of candy for decoration
only, looked puzzled, but filled my or
der. It made about as big a pad-age
as a nickel's worth of chocolate drops.
I swallowed hard and plunged.
" 'Better make it four dollars'
worth,* I muttered. She doubled the
probably killed her and that if she did
have sense and gave them away in all
likelihood she'd be sued for damages.
If anyone mentioned candied violets
in my presence for months after that
I'd take a chill. It was just as if I had
tried to prove my love by sending the
young woman a barrel of dill pickles.
"It was the very next summer that
I tagged my sister and her husband
abroad. They had been indiscreet
enough to mention what ship they
were sailing on-indiscreet because
they were afraid that I'd insist on go
ing and spoil all their fun. Sure
enough, when the boat sailed they
found me on deck, grinning at their
disgusted surprise. Gus got back at
me, though. I was green to ocean
travel, Just as I was to numerous
other things, and I observed for three
days at a certain time that a steward
came, spoke to my brother-in-law and
that the latter looked bored and dis
appeared, I inquired Into it Gos re
garded me long and seriously.
"Tommy/ said he in a shocked
tone, 'do you mean to tell me that you
have neglected arranging with the
bath steward for your hour? Heavens,
boy, don't let anyone know lt, and 111
see what I can do for you ! Didn't you
know lt is one of the rules of the boat
that every passenger must take a tub
bath twice a day? Dear me, I suppose
I should have told you! What'll they
do? Well, of course, they can't drop 1
you overboard, but they can confine
you to your cabin-now don't you .
worry, I'll fix lt!'
"He did. Gus certainly fixed it
thoroughly. It was a slow boat and
for the romaining seven days of the
trip that Infernal steward would come
and lean over me sadly and in a sep
ulchral tone Inform me that it was
my bath hour. And he came at 10:30,
when I was always walking with some
pretty girl, and at four, when every
other soul on board was having tea
and a jolly time. And nobody gave lt
away to me till we landed! Oh, there
are lots nicer stretches in life to my
mind than the vernal ones of simple
minded youth!"
Fullness of Her Love.
Pettibone-One cannot live on love
alone.
Funnlbone-I can live on my love.
Pettibone-Why, how is that?
Funnlbono-She has $100,000.-Lip
plncott'a.
Griddle Cakes.
To one quart of flour add one tea
spoon of cream of tartar and one
three-quartersful of soda, mix with
sour or buttermilk and bake on a grid
dle; season to taste. Buttermilk cakes
made in the same way, adding two
eggs, are very nice.
Nut Wafers.
One-quarter cup butter, one cup
sugar, one egg, ene saltspoon rf soda,
one cup of nut meats. Use walnuts or
grated cocoanuts. Dror on buttered
tins and bake quickiy. I forgot to in
clude one cu.? of flour. ?

TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS
Wp] have just finished installing a brand new 5 stand
gin outfit; in addition to overhauling the gins we
have been running for two seasons, putting them in the
very best possible condition. Buying all the improved
feeders and elevating devices, we think we are safe# in
advising our customers that they can have their ginning
done here without waiting scarcely any at all for their
turn, as with this equipment we snould easily gin 125
bales each day.
Rate for ginning 25 cts. per hundred, bagging and
ties 40 cts. per pattern or bale. Would advise custo
mers living some distance that it is easier to have
frame made that will hold two bales of seed cotton. We
can easily separate, putting one half of load in each
bale. You can almost invariably sell both cotton and
seed at highest market price without handling either
all, after it is ginned.
Thanking you for past patronage, and promising
quick service and most courteous treatment it is possi
ble for us to give, we are
