He had never seen a telephone—
you can see how old the story is.
He had never seen a telephone, and
his friend was showing him how it
worked. It was in his office. He
called up his house and the wife
came to the telebhone.
“My dear, Mr. Jones is here, and
I have asked him to come up to
dinner.”
Then he turned to Mr. Jones
and said:
“Put your ear to that and you’ll i
hear the answer.” ,
He did and this was the answer:
“Now, John, I told you I would
never have that disagreeable wretch ,
in my house again.”
“What was that?” spoke out Mr.
Jones. Women are quick. A man
simply would backed away from the
telephone and said no more. She ,
took in the situation in a second -
when she heard the strange voice,
and quick as a flash came back the 1
sweetest kind of a voice :
“Why, Mr. Jones, how do yon do? 1
I thought my husband meant anoth- ]
er Mr. Jones. Do come up to din- (
ner. I shall be so glad to see you.
