TELEGRAPHIo HUMoRs.-Last night at
the theater, during the performance of
the telegraphing scene by Mr.. Byron in
his play Across the Continent, a tele-
graph operator was employed behind
the scenes to respond to the call for help
from "Station 47.' While Mr.. Byron
was portrsying impotence in graphic
manner the answer came ticking as clear
as it ever licked over the regular lines:
g How are you, Joe Fowler2" "a gentle
man well known in Memphis telegraphic
circles). A storm Of laughter broke ont
from one corner of the parquette from
knot of operators who appreciated what
was mystery to both Mr.. Byron and
the audience. Again the clever actor
telegraphed for assistance and again the
answer came: what in the hi do
you wantPr a phrase not unusual among
those who handle the electric wires.
Convulsiye laughter again came from
the lightning corner, at which the au-
dience frowned, failing to see the joke.
The boys will have their fun, even while
travelling across the continent al
