TALBOTTON, GA., TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1883.
Spoopendyke’s Telenhone.
Now, my dear, said Mr Spoopen
dyke, standing before the telephone
and preparing to expluin its myste
ries and advantages to hii wife.
Now, my dear, this is going to
prove the most convenient thing we
ever had in the house. W! eu I
war t to talk to any <<ue, I just turn
the crank aud say: Hello, hello!
and the girl at the central says:
Hello, hello! and 1 tell her who 1
want, and she calls him up. Now,
I‘ll ask tor Mr Speoklcwotlle, And
Mr Spoopendyke turned the crank,
utterly forgetting to press the but
ton that makes the connection,
Whatdoos ho say? asked Mrs
Spoopendyke, cocking her head to
ono side, as a woman always does
when her husband it trying to list
en. r
lie don't say anything yet, growl
ed Mr Spoopendyke. 11a ain't
like you. He waits until he has
got sitnethiug important on his
mind, and then he says it. Hello,
hello! roared Mr Spoopendyke, giv
ing the crank a yieious twist and
glaring into the enuncialor with a
vindictive look. Now, keep that
mouth of yours ti-d up, or you're
liable to lose it sorno day! with
which doleful prognostication Mr
Spoopendyke i attl, and away at the
crack and awaited some sign ot life
at the otlior end,
I suppose really it is the girl's
fault, murmured Mrs Spoopendyko
sniffling at the instrument as though
she Smollod tho young lady
from afar, and found her no better
man fine Oilglit to no. a own o sup
pose she's there at, all. More than
likely she's standing atonud some
whs re.
Whal'd ye want to talk just then
for? howled Mr Spoopendyke,
What's your measly object in break
ing out with tho conversational
smallpox ill that critical juncture?
don t you know she was just begin
ning to talk, an! yon made me lose
her? I tell you one thing, a Idod
Mr Spoopedyko, with impressive so
lemnity, it you don't shat your
mouth the moths will got in there
and mako you trouble.
Kay, dear, can I talk through it?
cooed Mrs Spoopendyke, anxious to
disarm her husband.
Is there anything you cau't talk
through? squealed MrSpoopendyko
beginning to roalizo that thero was
sooo hing about tile telephone
that lie did not thoroughly under
sturid. When 1 get a tele
phone for you, tho diaphragm will
be of double and twisted wrought
steel with railroad tracks for wires
aud I don't believe that will last
raore'n an hour and a half! Iloilo,
heilo~o! wake up and call Spetklo
wottle, dod gavt yi! and Mr Spoop
endyko rattled away at tho crank
until his arm ached,
"tie patient, dear. You said she'd
gone, and it’s a long way around to
-Mr Specklewottle’s house. Perhaps
he isn’t home and she waiting for him.
“That’s the way it works, eh?”
shrieked Mr Spoopendyke, glaring at
his wife. "It took you to get hold of
it ? When I call that girl she goes
home to dinner, and along in the even
ing she goes around to Specklewottle’s
house and brings him here in a hack 1
That’s your idea of it ? Or p’raps
you’ve got some sort of a notion that
she runs the wire through Speckle
wottle, turns on the current and slams
him right up here through the side of
the house? That your idea? Well,
she don't, and she don’t break her
back trying to make a clod gastcc. id
iot of herself, like some women 1”
“I think I understand how it works,”
faltered Mrs. Spoodendyke. You
say : Yellow, yellow — 1
“There’s the combination !” yelled
Mr. Spoopendyke. “You got your
work in that time ! Why didn’t you
tell me 1 was bringing this thing home
to the inventor ! W hat’d you want
to iet me stand up here and explain
this thing to the only comprehensive
brain that ever tackled it for? You've
got it 1 With what you know now and
what you’ve got to find out. you only
need a wig and a lawsuit to be the
whole science of electricity. I tell ye
this is the way it works 1 and Mr.
Spoopendyke brought the box a kick
that splintered it. See it work? he
demanded, pulling at the wires until
they cut his hands. Watch it, while
I convey your regards to the other lu
natics ! and he danced on the rem
nants of the instrument and smashed
the fragments against the wall.
“Never mind, dear,” remodstrated
Mrs. Spoopendyke, puttering around
after him and trying to soothe him.
“When we want Mr. Spccklewottie
again we’ll just send a servant around
after him. That’ll be much nicer
than trusting to a nasty wire, and I
know there was a draught through that
box for I could feel it as soon as I
come in the room.' r
“Oh, you could feel it!” roared
Mr Spoopendyke, rather wondering
who he was going to account to the
company for the destruction of his
box. If I had your sensitiveness and
an onion, I’d hire out as a dod gasted
or chid !" and with this culminating
sarcasm Mr.Spoopendyke crushed his
hat over his ears and rushed around
to Mr. Sp ecklewottle’s to see what had
better be done about the matter
Traveler’s Magazine.
An luquir inff Mind-
A prototype of the famous Mulkit
tle boy, J.Arkansaw, lives here in Dul
uth. After returning from church last
Sunday he sat in a very thoughtful at
titude for a while and then asked :
Pa' didn’t the preacher say that he
that believeth shall be saved and he
that believeth not shall be damned ?
Yes, my son.
Wasn’t it swearing fur ’im to say so ?
Oh, no !
Why, wasn’t it?
Because the word used in that con
nection is not to be regarded as pro
fane.
If I was to say that you would be
damned if you didn't jbelieve, would
it be sweann?
Not at all—but don’t ask so many
questions.
Would it be sweann’ if I’d say damn
you if you don't—
There, there, my son you are car
rying it coo far. Be quiet now, for
heaven’s sake 1
Will ma be damned if she’don’t be
lieve ?
Certainly.
And hip Inn?
Of coarse.
And the dog, tco !
Oh, for goodness sake hush ! You
drive me crazy !
Say, pa, wou'd Jack, the crazy man,
lie damned it he didn’t be ieve 1
Yes ! Yes 1 Yes 1 Now hush !
Then he’d be like Oscar Wilde,
wouldn’t he?
No, he wouldn’t.
Yes he would !
He would not and now if you don’t
dry up I’ll thrash you 1
Bnt he would, pa.
How would lie?
Why, didn’t I hear you say that Os
car Wilde was a damned tdoit, and
if crazy Jack was to be —
But before he could conclude the
sentence a concussion remote from
his talking machine claimed his imme
diate attention.
Wicked dutTbue. —A good old
deacon was going the rouuiis milk
ing a collection for the church, and
ran upon a tough customer in Hill
Jones,
Hill had not been to church for
ycat's, and when the deacon made
known his errand, he declined giv
ing anything.
Come, William, gtvo something,
said tho deacon.
Can't do it.
Why not? Isn't the cause a good
one?
Well, yes, I guess so, but I ain't
ablo to give anything,
I'ooh! poobt I know better. You
must give a bettor reason than
that.
Well, then, I owe too much mon
ey, and I am ju.l before I am gen
erous.
A ! But 'William, you owe
Heaven a lurgor debt than yon owe
any one else.
That's true, deacon, but ho ain’t
pushing me like the balance of my
creditors.
An Auetin young lady, who has
enjoyed a classical education at
Northern female college, happened
to be at homo when her aged grand
mother was stricken down with a
fatal illness. The entire family
gathered around tuo death-bed of
the old lady, who, in a feeble voice,
said:
Good-by to you all, lam gwino
ter peg out.
Grandmother! exclaimed the
young lady, in a tragic tone of
voice, please don't say you are gwir.e
ter peg out. Say that you are go
ing to expire or that you contem
plate approaching diesolution. It
sounds so much better. —Texas
Siftings. ‘
Oh, dear! exclaimed Mrs. Fender
son, when the reads of the disaster to
the City of Brussels, and 1 was going
to buy anew carpet in the spring, and
I suppose this will make them awfully
high'—Boston Transcript.
