A TELEPHONE JoKE.-A manufactur-
ing firm down on the flats, the other
day, wanted to get quantity Of stock
from concern in another part of the
city. The telephone was called into
reQuisition and the price of the desired
material inquired. 1t was given, but
the would-be purchaser thought it was
too high. He was then requested to
wait while consultation was held at
tho other end of the line to see what
they could do for him. He did wait
but kept TIE phone to his ear and
through the accommodating Blake
transmitter heard everything that trans
pired in the Office at the other end. He
heard one rAember of the firm say to
the other finally that certain figure
would be charged, lower than the first,
bat still some twenty per cent above
the cost. Word was then sent him
direct that he could have the stock lie
wanted at cost price, seeing as it was
him. Ho answered back that that was
too thin, fer he heard every word that
had passed. That Blake transmittor
has since been removed, and when the
firm desires to hold private confer
ence they go down cellar and whisper
to each other. The telephone is Il mar
veous invention. Cleveland Leader.
