2 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.

T.ie hair is o mixed, hi am ’frail hill smother.” “Dom yer sowl,” yelled a brawny travel er. “’twas the likes ot yourself, then, that mixed it.” Drunkenness, or the Liquor Habit can be Cured by Administering Dr. | Haines' Golden Specific.
