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.
