" 'Tis the Heart's Voice Alone Can Reach the Heart." -De Musset THE invention of the telephone resulted, not from an effort to find a means of communication, but from the deep pity in the heart of the inventor for those without the ability to hear the human voice. In searching for a method of teaching these unfortunates to use and enjoy theirprecious gift of voice, Alexander Graham Bell dis- covered the principle of the telephoneâ€" which keeps all of us from being deaf and H&rangeofthettnaidedvoiee^ is only a few feet; but the. same voice speaking into the Bell telephone may be heard a mile or three thousand miles away; The tones, the inflections, the accents, the individuality of the voice are all transmitted faithfully to the listening ear. Your voice is yourself. The Bell long distance telephone sys- tem stands ready night andTday to corners of me land, into me ear of some loved onei in jrpur family, a relative, a friendT a business acquaintance, or anyone with whom you have need of speech. The telephone is the universal instrument, making all men neighbors. Xi^3:Si:* -.-.
