A Man sends I,10V Milss to narrsw
Chew Of Tdbaece from . CaaPanasa IN
the same Room,

From the Buffalo Cotnmereiaj
Some years ago two operators worked 10
an up town office in this city, and both ehewed
tobacco.
One of them whom we will call a, worked
east, On what was known rs the Aev 1ofk,
Albany and Buffalo lines The other, whom
We will distinguish rs II, worked west, IS far
as Cleveland, Ohio, on the Western Union
Company's lines.
These two, who were great chums, we're IN
the habit of constantly using each Others to-
baeco.
The desks Of these operators vere removed
from each othsr about thirty feet, standing At
opposite ends Of the room. Now
"once upon summer morning"
Mr.. As box being empty, he was, as usual,
upon the point Of going over to get ..cnd
from b 5 supply, when feeling languid and
lazv-it being outrageously ho,-a happy
thought struck him and for the sake pf say
ing twenty steps, he acted upon its suggss
ton Saying "nothing to nobody he qui-
etly sisnsllsd--or, as the telegraphic phrase
ia, called up--Cleveland, o., and sent the fol
lowing message:
"BurFALo OFYIcr Western Side),
= To B, Buffalo Office Eastern Side1:
"send me over chaw Of tobacco, quick
"s Dh., OPP
At the time telling the Cleveland operator
the joke, and requesting him to shove it
through and oblige.'
Now, by continuous telegraphic circuit, it
is possible to reach the East by gong West,
and this is the route the message took :
From Buffalo to Cleveland, o.. from Cleve>
land to Pittsburgh, Pa ; from Pittsburgh 70
Philadelphia, frop E,hi.aoelphis to New York
city, and fton New York city rid the New
Y ork, Albahy and Buffalo linesl back to Buf-
falo, where It Was received BY the identical
B, who worked that wire himselfi Aud with
in very few moments Of the time that A
started his message west, B came over to him
from the other side Of the room, with the
| message in one hand and his tobacco box IN
the other, this d.spatca having travelled con
siderably over l, 100 miles, and having been
also sent and received ten different times.
Each operator sending the message explained
the Joke to the receiver, and thus rushed
it through 2 in this marvellously fast time.
