MOUNTAINEER'S SAVINGS.
Mostly In Gold, and Some of it Hun
Been Buried for Fifty Years.
The First National Bank of Logan,
W. Va., hag received a deposit which
has an interesting story 'behind it.
The amount is $6,020, of which $3,
000 is in gold coin, some of which :3
fifty years old. Twenty dollars is
In silver and there are fifty $20 bills.
The money had 'been accumulated
by Milton Mullens and represents
the savings of a lifetime.
tMullens began hoarding his sav
ings when a young man. This was
before the civil war. All his sur
plus he concerted into go'd, which
ho buried in tue yard. A few
years ago when gold coin was scarce
and almost out of circulation Mul
lens began to exifrange his smaller
money for $20 bills.
These were hidden in a safe p'.aco
In his barn. It wag believed for
many years that he was hoarding his
money, and on numerous occasions
marauder« have endeavored to force
him to reveal Its hiding place, but
without success.
A few days ago his wife died and
believing that he would not live long
he called his grandson, J. M. Perry,
and told him where to search for
the treasure. The young man after
digging for some time found the
treasure, and this snug little fortune
went Into the bank to the credit of
the now aged and Infirm mountain

rays There is No Use for Short Girls; That the Companies Want
üiris Who Can Reach—Some Require Girls With a
Calm, Clear Eye and Good Appetite
j
If you have any trouble in getting ,
our telephone calls through blame '
.aber Commissioner Neill of the De
aitment of Commerce and Labor, and
iobaLly you wont be far out of the |
ay. Every hello girl in the country j
ill be busy trying to find out just what
Commissioner has said about her.
y a few of them are aware that he
had disserted and analyzed them in a
report 20o or 300 pages long for the
instruction of the United States Senate,
: ut these few have served notice that
they will insist on seeing in cold type
just what he has found out about them.
The commissioner has left little for
the hello girl to find out about her
self.
"Look here, Cora," exclaimed one
of the Washington telephone girls who
had got hold of an abstract of the re
po 1 ". "He says we gotta have a calm,
clear eye and a steady gaze. I know
I gotta clear eye, dear, but am I calm?
Go on, am I, really? (Hello, Hello.
Been waiting five minutes? Well, l
can't help that; wire's busy). And a
good appetite and a healthy, rosy com
plexion. What you think of that.
Cora? Say, honest, I always wondere 1
how I got the job so easy. But look
at this passage about the companies
handin' us men escorts to take us home
nights. That must be a government
joke; honest, it must be, doncha think
so?"
Complaints from hello girls that they
had to walk up too many flights of
stairs to their work was chiefly respon
sible for starting the Commissioner on
his investigation. He finds that the
telephone girls as a whole have no
ground for complaint on this score. He
nails them right down on this proposi
tion, giving the exact number that
have to climb stairs and the actual ef
fort that is expended. Says the Com
missioner:
Of the seventy-three exchanges re
ported upon by the agents of the bu
reau it was found that thirty-three,
which were located above the first
floor, were not provided with elevators.
Of these exchanges fifteen were loearej
on the second floor, requiring the
climbing of one flight of stairs; ten
on the third floor, requiring tne climb
ing of three flights of stairs. The max
imum number of operators affected by
such lack of elevators, therefore, being
required to climb one flight of stairs
was 60; those required to climb two
flights of stairs 108, while 75 found it
necessary to climb three flights or
etairs."

The Commissioner finds that there is
no use of short girls trying to become
telephone operators.
"None of the companies employ
short girls; they want girls that can
reach," he said. "The girl \\ho is un
der five feet hasn't any show."
The Commissioner finds that very
few of the companies take girls with
out first, subjecting them to a physi
cal examination. In some cities the
girls object to this, but these will be
surprised to learn that they were ex
amined without knowing it.
"In one city where the girls inter
viewed said that no physical examina
tion or test had been made," says the
Commissioner, "it was ascertained that
the applicants are interviewed by a wo
man whose exact height is known, and
in talking to the applicants can by
comparing the level of the pyes with
her own tell within a fraction of an
Inch the height of the girl with
whom she Is talking. Experts in ' ..r-r
lines interviewed the .i:.- ; -:icant 3 avi

He has discovered that in the good oil j
Bummer time the hello girls, that is
the few of them that are sick,
from digestive complaints, probably
too much Ice cream and candy.
The girls of many exchanges get
their luncheons right in the omcanv'
office. "Hygienic luncheons," the com
panies call them, and they say that
these luncheons prevent the
uffer j
fternoon
'dulness and headaches tint raise '
hob with the service when the "peak

port will be qualified to talk telephone
with the oldest hello girl in existence.

, "Peak of the load," "side reach," "up
' reach," "jacks" and "split trick" are
only a few of the expressions that go
to make up the telephone girl's bus;
| ness vacabulary.
j Commissioner finds also that
man y 0 f the companies, especially the
New York company. "Is engaged in a
system of welfare work among its em
ployes." They have libraries and par
lors where the girls may lounge dur
ing the rest hours; also boat ride ex
cursions, theatre parties and art muse
um parties under the supervision of a
competent teacher.
This uplift feature of the report,
particularly the theatre party sugges
tion, has made a hit with the telephone
girls in this city, and the companies
that haven't got onto this wrinkle yet
are sure to be informed of it.
Some of the hello girls also may
want to know of their employers why
they aren't furnished with roof gardens
for lounging places. The Commission
er finds that some companies have such
gardens and he recommends that more
of them be established. The Commis
sioner hands out this compliment to
the girls: "The loyalty and esprit de
corps among telephone girls is greater
.than i-n any other industry in the <
country." !

signal lights glow simultaneously and \
there is a clicking sound in the oper
ator's ear every time the receiver is
moved up and down. With all this
confusion in front of her the hello giil
has to contend too with a supervisor
who stands behind her and calls out
the numbers to ofher operators when
she falls behind in her work. She is in
fear also of the monitor cutting in at
any minute and reprimanding her.
Under the rules of the companies she
is allowed to say only "Number,
please," no matter how much she is
abused. When the peevish party be
gins to scold and asks why in thunder
ation he hasn't got his number, he is
delaying her with the other calls that
are coming in, and is not only lessen
in S his own chance of getting quick
service, but is delaying other people
and making it hard for the switch
hoard girl.

The Commissioner adds that if the
people who put off their morning tele
phoning until 11.30 and their afternoon
telephoning until 5 would only remem
ber that these are the heaviest hours
of the day, the "peaks of the load,"
they would get better service and make
j 'ife easier for the girls.
I Some of the hello girls may be sur
! prised to know "that spasms of rush"
; that last for only a few minutes are
regarded as fun by them.
They really enjoy the excitement
and exhilaration," says the Commis
sioner.
The Commissioner regards 225 calls
an hour as the breaking point of effic
iency for a girl, although she handles
sometimes as many as 600 calls an
hour.
The Commissioner has found that
92.7 percent of the hello girls are un
married or "conjugal condition un
known," 4 percent are married and 2.7
percent are widows.—New York Sun.
Japanese Sensitiveness.
Sensitiveness exists in the Japan
ese to an extent never supnosed by
the foreigners who treat them harshly
at the open ports, ln Izumo I knew a
ease of a maid servant who received
a slight rebuke with a smile and then
quietly went out and hung herself. I
have notes of many curious suicides
of a simi.ar soit. And yet the Japan
ese master is never brutal or crue!.
How Japanese can serve a certain
class of foreigners at all [ can't under,
land. Possibly they do not think
tiiem (the foreigners) as being
of
exact
ly human beings—but rather Oni, or
at best Tengu. Well, here s another
thing. My cook wears a smiling,
healthy, rather pleasing face. He is à
good looking young man. Wheiever I
used to think of him I thought of the
! smile. I saw a mask before me merry
j as one of those little masKs of Oho
kumi-nushi-no-kami they sell at Mion
j osek. One day I looked through a lit
tle hole in the shoji and
alone. The
saw him
face was not the same
face. It was thin and drawn, and
showed queer lines worn by old hard
ship. I thought "he will look just like
that when he is dead." I went in, and
the man was all changed—voung and
' ' ' ou
; happy again—nor have I ever seen
that look of trouble in his face since.
1 But I know when he is alone he wears
it. He never shows his real faase to
me; he wears the mask of happiness
i as an etiquette.—Atlantic
Awful Burning Itch Cured in a Day.
"In the middle of the night of
March 30th I woke up with a burning
Itch in my two hands and I folt as if
I could pull them apart. In the morn
ing the Itching had gone to my rh.*st
and during that day it spread all over .
my body. I wrs red and raw from
the top of my head to the soles of my
feet and I was in oontlnual agony
from the itching. I could neither lie
down nor sit up. I happened to see
about Cuticura Remedies and I
thought I would give them a trial. I
took a good bath with the Cuticura
Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment.
I put it on from my head down to my
feet and then went to bed. On the
first of April I felt like a new man.
The itching was almost gone. I con
tinued with the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment and during that
day the itching completely left me.
