A London correspondent Of GLASGOW
newspaper made it his business to gather
the news every day and send it to Glas-

He made arrangement with the
operator at a certain Office, by which
news was sent to GLASGOW at reduction
by the year.
One night he arrived at the lower
door at the foot of the stairs leading up
into the telegraph Office. The door was
locked aud he could not open 1t at
all.
The office was in the sixth story of
the building. The operator had bed
there, to which he retired promptly at
three o'clock, and it was now half past
two.
The operator up stairs yawned aud
