PHONE Bell Telephone COMP Bulletins 7-THE SUBSCRIBER'S The subscriber plays an Jant part in the business of giving telephone service. If the telephone is not used properly, if the subscriber believes he cannot secure good service under any circumstances and if proper consideration is not shown the operator, our difficulties are greatly increased. Fortunately for us, there are very few subscribers of that kind in this city. Most of our subscribers are co-operating with us in our efforts to give quick and accurate service. In order to secure efficient service at all times several things are necessary on the part of the subscriber.

When your telephone bell rings the call should be answered promptly, otherwise the calling party may grow impatient and leave the telephone and you will think the operator has rung your telephone without necessity. Then the receiver should not be IMPORTANT PART left off the hook. When this occurs your telephone is reported busy or out of order. In the case of a party line it puts two telephones out of commission. In calling a number you should speak distinctly and where there is a prefix or a letter in the number you should also repeat these to the operator.

If you are calling in haste we ask you to note the time and not feel that seconds are minutes and that we are neglecting your telephone. If you let your neighbors and friends use your telephone indiscriminately your station is likely to be reported busy when you are not personally using it. When your telephone is in use, by you or by a non-subscriber, no one can call you, the busy report being given to calling parties. These are small matters, but they are important to us and to you.

A business man, whose success in life has not weakened his spirit of justice or his sense of humor, was being driven along the street in his motorcar one afternoon by his wife. Among the crowd of people trudging home from their work he noticed a man who was old and ill-clad and obviously worn out. He called upon his wife to stop the car. As she slowed down she looked at him with curiosity. "What do you want me to stop for?" she asked.

"I want to get out," he replied. "See that old man over there? He has been working all day long. I have been doing practically nothing. He has been paid starvation wages, much less than he is worth. I have been paid a big salary, much more than I am worth.

I am feeling fresh, and he is tired. The only decent thing for me to do is to get out and walk, and let you take that fellow home." Teh wife, instead of stopping, put on speed. For several blocks she kept going at a furious rate. Then she remarked, looking straight ahead, "I wish you would play your jokes on people that appreciate your kind of humor." That husband likes to tell of that little incident. Besides his love of joking, it expresses something very sincere and deep in his nature.

A great many people throughout the world, favorites of fortune, are feeling in the same way. They are restive under their advantages, ill at ease, worried. It is a good sign that they should be so. But I sometimes wonder if in regard to their belief in their fortune they are actually right. Consider that business man, for example.

Under the present conditions of his life, he gives expression to only a small part of his ability. If he were not so successful, he might accomplish more. At. any rate, he would strike out in directions that would give his faculties more vigorous exercise, and, incidentally, bring him more satisfaction. Just now he suffers from surfeit.

He not only has too much leis- Watch Your Children Often children do not let parents they are constipated. They fear thing distasteful. They will like Orderlies- -a mild laxative that like sugar. Sold only by us, 10 John S. Wells.

ure, but too much success. He misses the excitement that goes with occasional, failure, and the striving. In fact through life everything has been so easy for him that, as he has often told me, he feels "flabby." "If I only had to go and dig in the fields I should be a better man," he once remarked. "The trouble is that I have no incentive. For the little I accomplish I could pay some man that needed the money and have it done better." Through lack of physical exercise this man has become enormously fat.

He must weigh considerably more than 200 pounds. So walking is a bur. den. I doubt if he has walked a 1 half dozen blocks at a time in the past ten years. Naturally, he misses the exhileration of exercise, one of the greatest pleasures in life.

As things are being done for him all the time, he also misses the sense of efficiency in small matters. Such efficiency as he has is wholly mental. But with him thinking is no trouble and gives him no zest. He merely feels that he sets others working. As some people see this man riding through the street I suppose they envy him.

They think that he is enjoying his motorcar and all the other indulgences that go with life; but he really is not. Through his influence he has found his sense of enjoyment weakening. Moreover, his realization of social injustice tends further to weaken his power to enjoy. On the other hand, it affords him one of the greatest pleasures of his life. It gives scope for his satire and his cynicism and his whimsicality.

Most of the things that his wealth obliges him to do he does not care for. He often tells me about the people he has to meet and the dinners he has to go to and the things he sees his wife and his three children doing. It is plain that his outlook on the life around him is exceedingly pessimistic; but, though he criticises our system, he would never think of giving up his. wealth. It is helping to drive one of his sons to drink, and it is likely to lead one of his daughters to make a loveless marriage.

Nevertheless it is such an allurement that even for this shrewd man it has not lost its control. Through all his criticisms there runs a certain consciousness of the power of his money. That power nothing in the world would make him give up. In thinking over this case I wondered if after all there was such a great difference between the man speeding in the motorcar and the man trudging the street. Perhaps we could not know without looking into the mind of each.

Which do you suppose was really the more contented? I can conceive of that workman, spent with toil, going home with a good deal of satisfaction to his family. Perhaps walking, instead of being a trial to him, was a joy. After a day spent between four walls there must have been a pleasant contrast in getting out of doors and breathing the fresh air. Then, too, there was the relief from one kind of effort. Nature has a very adroit way of offering compensation.

The harder the strain the greater the relief. In the life of that poor man there were many contrasts. The rich man, by having life kept sheltered and easy, was bored with a monotony of success. But, as far as the fundementals of happiness were concerned, there was not a very great difference between the chances of the two men. These FRANKLIN CHAPTER, No.
