In n Telegraph Office.

effect that she could not match n GER

and requested that sample. message
and all be sent at once by wire.
When the operator mildly suggested
that he was unable to transmit the
sample she of course became angry
and promptly denounced the man and
Professor Morse's invention as snare
and delusion. Now comes story
which shows that even at this date u
person may be encountered occasional
" who is entirely ignorant of the prin-
ciples of telegraphy.
The case in point is that of man
who entered the Postal Telegraph
Office one day last week and notified
his sister in Buffalo of his arrival in
America, from his home in Ireland,
giving at the same time his address In
New York. Several days later he en-
tered the Office again, furiously angry
and with letter in his hand which
contained words something like this:
IaI, ueaf. are you IN Amerlca: "A
bit of dirty brown paper SAYS you are.
Why did you not take your pen in
hand yourself. then. to say so. or is it
hurried you are, that some one writes
for you?"
The sister could not understand re-
ceiving the transmitted message, writ
ten in other handwriting than her
brothers scrawl, and neither could the
matter be explained to his entire salts
faction. He left the Office firmly con-
WINGED that there had been some hocus
pocus about the entire transaction
