Aug. 20.—Something new in the way of a toast was re cently proposed at a gathering of bus iness men when, after the customary sentiments in honor of civil dignita ries and the day the diners were cel ebrating. the toastmaster proposed "The Telephone Girl.” This tribute to the •telephone girl was in accordanc" with a which had its beginning thousands of years ago. Toasting had its origin among the early Romans, though the Greeks, from whom they borrowed many customs, were used to pledging their devotion to their gods as well as to one another. Homer mentions these occasions. In particular lie de scribes in the ’’Iliad” the instance in which Ulysses toasts Achilles. A verv remarkable example of toasting occurred when Alexander the Great was celebrating the establishment of peace between the Romans and the Macedonians, and on tins occasion P.itOO men drank out of the sam lov ing howl or cup. The Greeks were accustomed to pour libations to the Olympian deities and at, their symposia, or formal ban- miets, the pledging of healts and ex- '•hango of sentiments was in charge of the symposiareh. who is known to- dit'- as the toastmaster. But the act ua] "toastmaster” scents to have come down from the Romans of the great \ugustan days, who were the first f<> use a toast -from "tostus,” meaning parch (| or scorched bread—which was put into tin* loving cut) and swal lowed bv the host after the cun had been passed around among the guests. This custom lasted for many centu ties. The British are wont to attribute the toast, such as it is known today, to Row ua, daughter of Hengrist. the Saxon king. who. while Vortigorn, the rovul Briton, was visiting her ftther. took the cup to the guest of honor h vever. the telephone girl Is merci fully relieved to some extent because many persons take It easy and decline, to make even the slight exertion nec essary in using the telephone. When 27,999 telephone calls arc handl d without complaint the trou ble caused by the call which makes the number 2k.eon may he said t<> constitute a tribute to the general excellence of the service. The case has been well compressed into a nut shell bv the following illustration: custom When a man complains that Hie eggs, the toast and the eoff e which form his breakfast are not properly pre pared, it indicates that he ordinarily finds bis breakfast, satisfactory, eggs, toast and coffee being good and appe tizing. The prompt handling of a telephone call is taken as a matter of course. For this reason, the occas ional and inevitable failures to make the service satisfactory an often magnified and make the cause of complaint, even when they are due to ctus 's for which the telephone oper- a' is not responsible. Among the complaints are many which have their amusing side. One of the telephon-' men tells the follow ing: “One day ree< ntv a well known lady in New York city called up the manager of the local exchange and said she had a complaint to make. “ '1 am sorry to hear it. madam.' said he. recognizing the fair com plain'ant. ‘Perhaps I can assist you. Wint lias happened?’ “'Well. 1 must tell you that your toll operator is the most insulting person I have e ver dealt with.’ "Greatly surprised, the manag' r asked for an explanation “‘Why.

A LIVELY PLACE. The Ledger office for the past few days lias been exceedingly lively. The ottic- doors were not closed from Tuesday morning until Wednesday night, and from •" o'clock Tuesday af ternoon until o'clock Wednesday afternoon the office was literally thronged with its friends, anxious for the latest news in regard to the elect ion. When the press started Wednes day afternoon on the special edition the building was crowded and it took nearly an hour to supply the demand for The Ledg-r It required an im mense amount of work on the part of the force, but the pleasure and satis faction of being able to serve the pub lie was ample compensation.

The tnin for Knoxville was over an hour late, but at last we went bowling down French Broad, trying to take in the fine scenery on both sides. We gained no lost tirm and went into Knoxville an hour late. A short stay, and over ihe Tennessee hills and valleys we went. Soon after sunrise Thursday morning we had a glimpse of the fa mous high bridge n ar Lexington. Ky. The mountain scenery is grand all along this route. We reached Cin einnati. Ohio, to find that, our train for Detroit had long gone, so, with ti i-!i, we decided i>n taking it easy (?) for four hours .and then catch tl*<‘ "fly r” at 1.1'» P. M., central time. From Cincinnati to Toledo and De troit—2*>9 miles—we went ai a “clip ping gait ” but liad time to view the fertile farms, nice farm houses and barns that have such a “live at home” look. ' My! this is file sc> nery that catches me preferable to mountains. As far as the eye can reach, miles .if rich fields in corn, clov *r. droves of fine cattle, horses, sheep and hogs can be seen. Ten o’clock found us entering Detroit, eight hours away from schedule time. Being too late to meet the associa tion nf second and third-class post masters in assemblage, was disap pointing in the extreme, but on the boat Friday I saw many familiar faces of those who were in attend ance last year at Washington. Hop kins. or “Hop.” as he is familiarly known, the seoreta-v and treasurer, was at his post v -rv busy, as usual. But I had in mind a small town thirty miles from Detroit on the c. H. & D, railway, whither 1 went. Mr. Editor, did you ever meet a friend whom you had kept in touch with bv mail but had not seen for thirty years or more? If so, you may imagine the meeting we two had that afternoon. There 1 was made to feel at home from Friday afternoon until Sunday noon. This is a town of fibu inhabitants, a high school, a bink. three churches, two drug stores fn\ j or six business houses, larg * mill and j two beer saloons, without a mayor, intendent or other form of govern- i ment! When I asked how the sided walks were so nic ly paved I was , told that it was done by united act ion. each one paving his own prop toasting, is slid to date from the time ol Charles H, of England. A celebrat ed belle was disporting in the surf at Bath in the company of several ad mirers. One of them, to show his de votion, drank a cup of the water in which she was standing. This prompt ed anoth r to declare that though he couldn’t take thr water ho could take D’ toast, meaning the fair ladv and he might have run off with her if his rivals had not been so numerous. The historians beli ve that the charmer of Bath was the first woman to be des ignated as “toast.” This episode led to many eccentric ities. such as toasting a belle out of her slipper and drinking her health in barbaric concoctions. On one oc casion two Oxford students, suitors fo- the hand of the same damsel, gave a rare exhibition in this line. One of them mixed soot with his wine, and not to be outdone, the other quaffed a goblet of ink—a heroic act which probably left the other fellow, when lie recovered, in solo possesion of the field. While toasting women has been in vogue since imperial Caesar paid court to Cleopatra, the public occas ions on witich women of the business ” orld have been so honored are rare indeed. It appears that the telephone girl. In this respect. Is In a class by herself. There are no records show ing similar honors paid to the type writer. the social secretary of the bookkeeper. The girl at central is thus unique. lake tlie toast itself, the response to “The Telephone Girl” was worthy of attention for the reason that it shed new light upon the actual—not the romantic -experience of the ope rator at central. “If I go to a grocery store on Sat unlay night when every dark is on tlie jump, and yell that I have an im portant engagement and demand that some ck rk leave the customer he is waiting on and attend to my wants beeam • my business is almighty im- portant," said the speaker, “the pro prietor inform- me that if I will have a little patknee I will be waited on in :nv turn: and t uit is exactly right. Yet this same merchant will take the hod off the po >r telephone girl be who gives such an insult ought to be discharged ins'ant !>. and that is why I called von.” If apparently nev r occurred to the or h alth j over-sensitive ladv Hi d a person an- j swering to the name of Capitol two th'ee-four, ring one. or something MI (. that, would be difficult to locate | when lie happened to be away frost j his telephone. The fact tiia* many thousands of [ telephone calls ar satisfactorily ban- ! died indicites that ordinarilv the tel ( hone girl receives the considora tien to which she is entitled as a faithful and * flicient member of the business community. Her employers see to it that her surroundings are pleasant. In all parts of the Bell sys tem. central office buildings include rest and lunch rooms for the use of the operators, and the day is so ar- nnged that two hours at the switch board are followed by a *period when the operator's time is her own. Be sides that, she is carefully instructed for Hie work, either in the exchange itself or in one of the many schools maintained by the companies. And in the main, the great, busy, impa tient public has 1-arned to know the value of her work and expresses its appreciation by courteous treatment. Cases of treatment of theother kind are the exceptions which prove the rule. -OUSTED .- ecJw Dubbles ; Idle And Scattered Thoughts Clit BY BRIAN BELL rn —r t m —— raw ~di NO GRAY HAIRED NURSES. cause *> (*I e i rush t i’n -s during "hich she is ueable to answer his t<denbone in i traction of a minute.

"You don’t mean that.” was the an swer of the experienced physician. “What’s the matter with her? Gome, tell me." . “Nothing." began the faint contradic tion. "She’s quiet tidy and sympa thetic—but. doctor, her hair’s dyed. I never in my life heard of such a thing! Yet I could see it plainly yes terday when she sat between me and tho window.” The doctor did not speak for a mo ment. He did not even look surprised “And you knew It?” said the patient And you never told me.” Tlie physician smiled sagaciously. “Such a nice nurse, too.” went on the patient. "Why should she do such a foolish thing?” It was then that she learned from the doctor that dyed hair is not nearly so uncommon in the case of trained nurst s as might he suspected. With H em often youth is more considered ttian anything else save the recom mendation of a good hospital. Sick people like to have young nurses about them: even physicians have a weakness for the young nurses. They believe that their interest and enthu siasm are greater. “The nurse’s turn of usefulness is short enough as it Is,” this physician said, "for their worb is so exhaustive Mat they must soon succumb. Some of th< m are compelled to give up after ten years. Few are even able to keep ip until they have put in twenty years. "If they feel that gray hairs, coming prematurely or perhaps a little earlier than thev are due. are going to make the term of their best days even brief • r. the/ are driven to biding those traces of time and over-work by the use of hair dye. and the number that do mak.. use of it is very much larger | than anybody suspects.” i It seems that th re are other women : to whom hair dye is not merely an aid , . . . , , 1 io beauty.

The signal for it to make its presence known seems to tie on the event of otite imixirtant happening, wh m the geod citizens of Gaffney are all on edge to know the latest news and eagerly await the morning papers to get some intelligence of the latest sensation. Then it is that the hoodoo puts in its work, which, by the way, is always effective, as is the way with works and workings of an official and well nourished hoodoo. On numbers of occasions when a '•resident had been elected or a bat tleship destroyed, a battle had been waged, or something startling was happening, poor Gaffney, by reason of her hoodoo, could learn nothing until months or years after some one for lunate enough to have been present will hie himself this way with the intelligence. Never has anything of iii'ense interest occurred that Gaffney and her people were desirous of knowing of that any of the daily pa P rs arrived with the news. The hoo doo has power to put in Us deadl v work from all directions, too. Train wrecks delaying the papers, connect ions missed, and last but not least, they are cut to pieces. Incomplete election returns reach ing Gaffney Wednesday morning were naturally meagre and of course num bers thronged the city anxious for more news and better news. Gonse quentlv these, and more, were antici- nating the papers from all over the State with more returns whop, tlie fast mail train of the morning should arrive. Alas! It came and conquered, for when the bag containing the pa pers and small parcels was thrown off it was sucked beneath the train and the bag and numbers of the pa- pers were cut to shreds. The papers escaping the grinding wheels were soaked and muddy in an instant by the pouring rain and not a paper on that train for Gaffney reached Us des tination. Surely this last capping of the ell max will satisfy the hungry soul of even tho ^•"'•st hoodoo, and It is fer vently hoped that Us days are over. their kindness and loving sympathy and assistance in our h*ur of deep sorrow.

Novel Test of Ordinary Person's Row- ers of Observation. <Chicago Tribune.) \ Swiss professor has been mak ing some xperimonts to test the re- liabilitv of the reports of an event given by eyewitnesses. In one instance he brought before bis class of stu dents a in in whose body was cov red with a white shroud and whose face was masked. The man stood before the class for H 1 seconds and then re tired. After a few days the profes sor ask d the members of the class to pick- out the mask worn by the stranger front among several which lay upon tin* table. Only four out of two dozen students picked tlie right one. although it was different in size and color from the others. The rest either failed in Hie test or frank ly confessed their inability to decide. From this and similar observations the professor r ached the conclusion that there is a great deterioration in the powers of observation and that this deterioration is the result of the high pressure of modern life. While many would doubt the value of such tests for proving the thing desired by the teacher, the fact is accepted generally that the testi mony of an eve witness is not speci ally valuable, despite the presump tion that one who was present when anything strange or unusual happened ought to have seen what actually did occur. But eve witnesses often dis agree so "'idol; in their reports that such testimony is easily discredited in court. What the eye sees is large- ly a matter of training, and tco eye ni ntory is even more important in the case than the sight. The excep tional man Is the "Sherlock Holmes,” not the ordinary one. A farmer ob serves many things in the country which the city man fails 14, note, while conversely the city man sees many things in the farmer’s own ter ritory which the eye of the latter never revealed to hint. “The cow slip by the river’s brim” affords a suggestion far h-yond the fields of beauty or lioian. The Swiss professor says that, in his opinion, not one person in nin® can give a correct description of a man looked at for 10 seconds, and this. too. even when such inspection |s for the express purpose of furnish ing material for a report. Thit would not. bo astonishing. Many people have defective eyesight. They fail to recognize features because they never see them clearly. Or. if eye sight be unimpaired, eye memory may be lacking, so that the impres sions distinct at the time of observa tion are forgotten soon and cannot he recalled on demand. The chances are. therefore, that it is not the high nressure of modren life which makes the powers of observation less effec tive. although people live fast, move fast, read fast and skim things in every field of observation. Rather, the present conditions are just like those always operative. It is more likely the lack of definite training of the eye. the lack of cultivation of eye memory, or the extremely com mon faults of eyesight, recognized by the Individual or not. which discredit the reports which the eye witness bring of an event.
