WATSON, come nere; I want you!" exclaimed Alex- ander Graham Bell on March 10, 1876, during an afternoon of experi- mentation, and over a wire connect- ing two rooms, the young assistant heard the words,--the first spoken sentence to be so transmitted. Fifty years have passed. To-day there are 17,000,000 telephones in the United States, giving voice to human need, as Bell's crude trans- mitter did then. Fire breaks out in the night; law-breakers invade a home; sickness strikes at a family circle. "Come here, I want you," is the summons, and the telephone speeds it on the way. Business of importance demands the decision of one who is on the far side of the continent."Come here, I want you," is the summons again, and as if by magic, a personality is projected through space, questions are asked, answers given, problems solved-- by telephone. Every telephone call is an echo of the first message. For whether it is the physical presence or the listening ear that is desired, the impulse that lifts the telephone re- ceiver is, "I want you."

After the close of its regular ses- sion last Thursday night, 'A. T. Sher- man Lodge No. 892, I. O. O. F, of Wilmette, was entertained for an hour with a very interesting program of musical numbers and readings by a young blind girl, Miss Carol Rickert, of 6117 Ellis avenue, Chicago. That her recitations, piano selec- tions, songs, and whistling solos were appreciated and enjoyed by the large number present was attested by the hearty applause they elicited. Miss Rickert impressed all who had the good fortune to hear her as being a very talented young lady. Many of her selections are of her own composi- tion, as she is a poet of no mean abil- ity. She has had a book of her poems published, and is intending to publish another soon. Her bright, happy, sunny disposition, her remarkable knowledge of affairs, her alert, intel- ligent mind, and her ability to travel alone to and from the places where she gives her entertainments, were a wonderful revelation to all who had the pleasure of meeting her.
