How To Use The
TELEPHONE
Did it ever occur to you that you
might not be using the telephone in the
right way?
Do you speak sideways, above, be
low, or six inches away from the trans^
mitter of your telephone?
You should talk directly into the
transmitter ? not simply at it. Keep your
lips about one inch from the mouthpiece.
Speak in an even tone. It is not neces
sary to shout.
There is much that can be said about
the proper way to telephone, but these
little rules will help.

Mrs, Simpson's

B7 ETHEL HOLMES
(Copyright. HIT, WNttn Niwipttwr Union.)
"Mollle," tmid Mrs. Simpson to her
friend Mrs. Mariweather, "Aro you con
fident thut your husband is true to
you?"
"Perfectly," wrta the reply,
"I wish 1 could feel the same about
mine. Don't you ever watch him?"
"Kvery night."
"Why, 1 thought you said you trust
ed him,"
"I do not trust men generally In
such matters. While I trust Jack Im
plicitly as un Individual, as one of the
male sex, I don't trust him at all."
"Why do you watch him at night, es
pecially?"
"What I mean hy thut Is I go through
his pockets for love letters every ulght
after he Is In bed."
"I see; that's n good scheme; I will
avail myself of the suggestion."
Mrs. Simpson did avail herself of the
suggestion and at the end of a few
months was rewarded ? If It may be so
considered?with a llnd. In Mr. Simp
son's vest pocket was u slip of paper
on which were the tigures 1, 12, l>, 4, 7,
in lead pencil.
Now Mru. Simpson hud married In
opposition to her parents' wishes and
they had resisted to many devices,
whereby to communicate Jn splto of be
ing watched. Mrs. Simpson, then Miss
Mollneaux, was very lugeulous. She
gave Simpson an expedient to uso
when he wished to meet her that would
not cause suspicion. He was to mall
her an advertising card on which had
been put In pencil certain figures de
noting the month, the day, and the
hour. Thus If ho wished to see her on
the seventh day of November, at three
o'clock in the afternoon, the figures
would be 11, 7, 8. The place of meet
ing wnp always the same and need not
be destgnuted on the card.
Mrs. Simpson had hardly seen the
figures on the slip she had found in.
her husband's pocket when she in
ferred that her Invention of several
years before had become a boomorung.
She collapsed, but not for long. Be
fore many minutes had passed sho had
made up her mind to interpret the mes
sage and surprise the guilty parties at
their meeting. Taking up the paper
she noticed that the first figure was 1.
January was the first month in the
year. It was now December. The
next figure was 12, might represent the
ddfr of the meeting. It was now the
28th of December. The figure 9 must
mean nine o'clock either In the morn
ing or evening. What 4 and 7 meant
she could not t6U. Doubtless the guilty
pair had invented a way to designate
the place of meeting. ?
Mrs. Simpson was quite sure that
on the 12th of the next month, at nine
in the evening her husband would meet
her rival; but since she did not know
where, she could not confront them.
There was a cold time between Mr.
and Mrs. Simpson from the 28th of
December to the 12th of January. Mr.
Simpson was at a loss to account for
the reason, but disdained to ask for It
more than once, when be obtained no
satisfaction.
It was Mrs. Simpson's Intention on
the evening of the 12th of January to
hang on to her husband like a leech.
She would prevent his meeting her
rival, and would accuse him of his per
fldy.
One evening at dinner she asked him
If be remembered the device she hod
given him whereby to notify her when
he wished her to meet him. He said
he remembered her Ingenuity very well
and suggested that if ever she became
obliged to earn her own living she
should apply for a position in a detec
tive office.
"I have often thought since then,"
she said, "how we could add to . the de
vice a plan to indicate by figures, the
meeting place." 1
Whether Mr. Simpson refused to be
caught in this trap his wife set for him
to give her a clue to the last two, fig
ures of the cipher message, or wheth
er he did not know what she meant, he
did not appear to take any further in
terest in the matter and made no re
ply.
On the evening of the 12th of Janu
ary Mr. Simpson about eight o'clock
told his wife that he had an engage
ment with his partner to talk over a
business program for the year. Mrs.
! Simpson stood like a statue, listened
to what he said, then handed him. the
THp Of paper saying:
"I see that you have used my Inge
nuity to communicate with your new
flame, but in this case she seems to
have addressed you Instead of your ad
dressing her."
Simpson looked at the cipher then
at his wife.
MIf you would like to meet her," he
said calmly, "you can do so by going
with me to the office.**
Mrs. Simpson did not understand
tbls move, bnt she put on her hat and
sealskin and went with her husband.
When they arrived there, the office was
lighted op and Mr. Simpson's partner
was waiting for him.
"Jatk," said 8impson, "I've found
the missing key to our new safe we
had so much trouble about # couple
of weeks ago." - .
Simpson took the cipher from his
pocket and explained it to his wife:
UI ordered the lock of the new safe
to be opened on these numbers. I
stand* for the first letter in the alpha
bet. 13 for the 12th, or 1; ? for the 9th
and so on, the whole spelling the name
of my dear wife.
The next thirty days were Mr. asl
Mrs. SUnpaoa's si mad hiammntn.

Washington. Jan. 21. -Smouldering
tires of par Una n feeling were sot ablate
in the Senate today by Senator Stone
with a long pro|*ared k pooch accusing
Kepublieans of playing politics in their
eri t Iclsm of tin* government's conduct
of the war, and calling Theodore Hoose*
veil the most seditious man of conse
quemv in America.
Senator Stout' delivered his attack in
charactcrlsttmlly vehement fashion. He
strode the middle aisles shouting, men
acing an ill* clenehed tlst or wagging
linger at his political opponents on
the other side.
Citing statements of tho Republican
leaders regarding the p<?l it i<vi I plans,
and editorials of Col, KooSevelt, whieh
he said, arc "villainous seroeds" pub
lished for money, Senator Stone dc-l
cla red :
"on my reM|K?nslbllUy as a Senator
I charge that since our entrance Into
the war ltoosevelt. by ills attacks on
the government, lias Ihhmi a menace
?ind obstruct I >n to the successful pros
ecution of the war.
"The only |H>ssible effect of these
?vldely published nitentm-es of this
man." said Senator Stone, "has been
is they were designed to be, to dis
'redit and bring the present govern
ment Into public disfavor and weaken
its hold on (>opuhtr confidence. That
-coins to be the Kooscveltlan standard
of patriotism.'
Similar utterances made by less pow
erful eltliens, Senator Stone asserted
would subject them to prosecutlori for
disloyalty.
"Of all the men," the Missouri Sen
\tor continued. "ltoosevelt Is most re
?l>ojisihlc for what he denounces. lie
toes' his work cunningly, In the front
?f his propaganda he throws a de
?eptivc |K>lltical camouflage. I chorge
that Theodore ltoosevelt ? whether wlll
