THK TELEPHONE GIRL.
She Again Mixes The Patrons of the Es
tablishment Up.
The telephone girl was sitting up close to
the stove trying to keep warm while the ther
mometer outside was ranging around in
the vicinity of zero, when there was a faint
click and buzzing clatter and then the key
board showed the number 444. ,
“Oh, dear!” sighed the girl. “I have
made so many lives a burden during the .
past year that lam afraid that £ shall nev- '
er get to Heaven. I guess I shall have
to reform.” ,
Then she went to the telephone and rang
an answer and putting her mouth to the j
transmitter, sang in her sweetest notes:
“Hel—lo o o!”
“’Elio, hi would like ’ave No. 517?”
“Well, my friend, what ails 444? Ain’t it i,
good enough? No. 517 is rented out to a |
milliner’s store.”
“Ho, you hun’appy vixen!” cried the; ,
caller. “Hi want to be ’ooked hon to that
same milliner’s store. The hinstrument j
his not what hi want. Hi want the mili
ner.” ,
“You want Mrs. Elfinheel?”
“Hexactly.”
“Well, I can’t give her to you. You
had better ask her about it. If she is will- i
ing to be hooked on to you, it is all right
with me.”
“Ho, hi must talk to the lady hat once.”
“Well, here she is.”
“’Elio! His this Miss Helfin’eel!”
“Yes, sir. What do you want?” I
“Mrs. ’Olloway hasked me to give a list 1
hos the hornaments she wants hon her new
bonnet."
“Well, go ahead.”
Here the girl’s resolution to reform her
self broke down—she yielded to temptation
and switched on another Englishman who
was giving an order to his grocer, and the
reply the milliner received was as follows:
“Two tine cabbages, a dozen eggs, a few
turnips, some happles, hand a small bag hos
Durham tobacco.”
The telephone girl has used every en
deavor to find out how Mrs. Holloway likes
her bonnet, but has so far been unsuccessful;
the man whose grocer sent him a bunch oi
artificial grapes, an ostrich plume, and a
stuffed canary bird, is as mad as a wet hen,
and has begun trading at another store.
The Poet, the P-er and the Tailor.
Whitehall Review.
The following anecdote will serve to show j
how differently poetry is honored in differ- |
ent places. There is a certain English poet |
whom we need not name, but who is very i
famous indeed. This poet happens to be
well-to-do as to private means, and he was
lately anxious to buy a piece of land in a
certain part of L mdon to build a house |
upon. The plot of land he wished to buy
turned out on investigation to be the prop
erty of a well known tailor To the tailor
accordingly the poet’s man of business made
application. He learned the price of the land
—a pretty bei/y figure, and was about to
conclude the bargain when he happened
to mention the name of his client. I
“What!” exclaimed 'he tailor; “is that the
Mr. Blank, the poet?” “Certainly,” re
plied the mao of law. “Then,” said the
tailor, “strike off half the price al once. I
have admired Mr. Blank’s poetry ail my
life, anti this is the first and only oppor
tunity 1 have of doing anything whatever
to show my gratitude.” There is a melan
choly sequel to the story which marks
a curious contrast to the reverentia 1
generosity of the tailor. It seems that the
land the poet was about 'o buy adjoined
land belonging to some individuals high in
the State, and that their permission had t<
obtained before building could be begun.
The permission was app ied for, but was no:
ob'ained. The poet’s name which had such
an effect upon the tail, r, failed to charm, and
so the whole business fell through, and the
poor poet has had to seek e'sewbere for a
site for I,is proposed dwell ng place.

“Veil I dond did know ofer I can or not,”

“Hi wish you would. T.ie hair is o

“Dom yer sowl,” yelled a brawny travel

Durham is historic. It was neutral ground
durinx the armistice between Sherman and
Johnson. Soldiers of both armies filled
I their pouches with the tobacco stored there,
and, after the surrender, marched home
ward. Soon orders came from East, West,
North and South, for “moreof that elegant
tobacco.” Then, ten men ran an unknown
factory. Now it employs 800 men, uses the
pink and pick of the Golden Belt, and the
Durham Bull is the trade-mark of this, the
best tobacco in the world. Blackwell’s Bull
Durham Smoking Tobacco has the largest
sale of any smoking tobacco in the world.
Why ? Simply because it is the lest. All
dealers have it Trade mark of the Bull.
