Why Not Say
"Good-bye, Sir?"
THE telephone "Hello" has fallen into
disfavor because it is not only useless
and meaningless, but is a rather un
graceful and rude little word. It is fast
becoming obsolete.
The telephone " Good-bye," however, is well
worth preserving, even in these days of econ
omy and efficiency. It gives that personal,
friendly touch to business or social conversa
tion which makes for better relations.
t Tho cheery "Good-bye" over the telephone
is just as potent as the cordial "Good-morning"
with which you greet a friend on the street.
Over tho telephone it averts the feeling one
sometimes has of being cut off abruptly.
Say "Good-bye" over tho telophono as if it
wore really a part of your conversation and
not merely a regrettable habit of speech.

The number on the afllrmativo and neg
ative sides was nlmost oven, and Eben
ezer White was appointed to lead off
aim ten bow honesty paid him. Each
speaker was to bo limited to ten mln
utes. Ebenezer had been thiukin it
ocr nir three or four days, and when
ho got up bo began with:
"Poller mo bnek to the days of Julius
Caesar. When Caesar wns a young
man of twenty-two ho hndn't n dollar
io nis name and no show to strike a
Job. Ho hnd about made up his mind
to commit suicide when ho found a
five dollar gold piece in the road. Ills
first thought was to uso the money
to start in .business, but it was only a
temptation. Ills honesty wouldn't per
mit such a thing. He went around
inqulrln' who had lost $5 nnd at length
found the owner, and the owner took
a llkln' to him and pushed him along
until he wns flnnlly mado n king."
"That's one tally murk fur the af
firmative side," said the deacon as tho
speaker sat down, "and I decide thnt
Ebenezer has mado live p'lnts. Wo
will now hear from Jonns Bebce on
the negative side."
"Poller mo back to tho dnys of Julius
Caesar," began Jonns as he rose up.
"When Cnesar was a young man of
twenty-two ho hadn't a dollar to his
name," continued Jonas. "He had made
up bis mind to bang himself when ho
found n stray mewl in the woods. Ho
sold the critter to the first mnn who
would buy, and with the $12 ho receiv
ed ho went Into politics and pushed
along until he finally became one of
the greatest men of his time."
"That's a tally mark on the nega
tive side." said tho deacon, "and the
p'lnts seem to be even."
The deacon culled upon Aaron Brad
shaw, who wns on the ulllrmatlvo side.
"Poller me bnck to the days of Julius
Caesar," begun Auron, with a wave of
his band. Ho had It that Caesar was
poor and out of a Job and discouraged
when he happened to find a diamond
ring In a mudhole. Uo could hnve got
an ndvanco of $50 on it nt a pawnbro
ker's, but ho actually went hungry for
three dnys while huntln' up the loser.
Struck by such a display of unselfish
honesty, tho owner presented him with
$75, took him under his wing and in
tlmo mado him king.
"Thnt's another tally fur the afllrma
five," said tho deacon, "and 1 guess
I'll give Anron the same number of
p'lnts as tho rest
"It's tho turn of the negative." said
tho deacon ns Aaron sat down, "and
wo'Il now hear from Phlletus Johnson."
"Poller mo back to the days of Julius
Caesar," began Phlletus ns ho rose up,
and there was a row. It was full ten
minutes before order wns restored, and
during that time everybody got his
