mat. Before I could regain my feet, I felt a blow upon my head and saw a thousand stars. Then l lost consciousness. I How long I lay in that state, I do not know, but I do know that when I awoke all was dark and there was a throbbing in my head, Rising to a sitting position, I took in my surroundings. Wierd, vari-colored phantasms floated lightly in the airg filmy fig- ures without definite shapes, flitted here and there, tiny needle-like beams of light, all colors of the rainbow, shot hither and thither. Suddenly the scene was changed. The light beams disappeared, and the phantom figures fled into u corner and merged into an ever-changing mass of soft tints-now rose, now blood-red, now violet. Looking for the cause of this marvelous change, I perceived u great, dark shadow, without form or features, approaching the effervescent mass. Nearer and nearer it drew to the restless phantasm. It was almost upon them when suddenly the scene van- ished, and at the same instant I found myself falling through infinite space. Below I heard the roar of some underground torrent. Louder and louder grew the sound and I was falling-falling-falling. John! lt was my motlier's voice. John! Wake up this instant. You have had a terrible nightmare. I told you not to eat so much of that Swiss cheese! ' -EDWIN WITHINGTDN. unior High Tune: Marching Through Georgia.

T cam wo rk Teamwork on the tele- phone means courteous, alert co-operation just as teamwork in school or any- where, whether in work or in play. Three persons form this telephone team -C13 the person calling, C25 the op- erator and C32 the person called. When all are sure of the number desired, speak distinctly and re- spond with alacrity, better service results. The vast complication of electrified machinery is, of course, the first requisite of telephone service, but, second to this equipment, is intelligent co-0peration-- teamwork-of those at both ends of the telephone line and at the middle. We appreciate and thank you for lending such co-op- eration. Ka ns as Ci ty Telephone Co.
