During this conversation the brick
layer became furious, and tried to put
stop to the conversation by calling
through his telephone. But as soon as
he commenced the mischievous clerk
would turn the crank and set the bells
ringing so that no ono could be heard.
The clerk could get no further responses
from the young lady, and SO turned his
attention to her enraged parent. A war
of words followed, ut the conclusion of
which the man of brick announced his
intention of visiting the yard in SPRING
wells to "see about it."
He had hardly left the instrument be-
fore another strange call came, and the
clerk heard the pork packing gentleman
order some one of the packipg-house to
bring up load of hams!
Clerk-Put more salt on your hams and
then they'll keep!
Pork. packer-"What's that?
Clerk-Take some salt; you're too
fresh!

Clerk-At IS foundry.
p. P.--Is that you, HI
Clerk-It arc.
P.-How did you get hold of our

Clerk--Blesscd if / know.
The conversation continued for some
time, until faint suspicion of how the
mixture occurred began to dawn upon
the minds of the clerk and the pork
packer, both Of whom were intimate
friends. At length the clerk came up
town, the two took horse and buggy,
explored the lines, and found the diff
