With railroads generally blocked in

COURTING BY WIRE.
4 Telegraph Operator WOOes the
Wrong Girl on His Circuit.

Wrong Girl on His Circuit.
From Donohoes Magazine.
A telegraph operator in Il Boston
Office once met with hitter disappoint-
ment early in his career by falling in
love with young woman at the other
end of one Of the Western Union wires.
She used to say sweet little nothings
when lull in the business gave her
an opportunity to Use the wire. The
young man worked in the Boston
Office and had the reputation of being
"Ay" sender and able to receive
what he could send, an all-important
factor in the ''sizing up" of an operator.
The woman was proud to have him
say even GIN" or "Ge" good morning
or good EVENING" to her; and the other
girls on the wire. with whom he never
condescended TO exchange even these
ordinary salutations, were jealous. AS
time wore on their conversations over
the wire became longer and more fire.
quent. Finally an invitation To come
To Boston and visit one of the theatres
was given and accepted. The Lothario
of the wire was To wear Il red, red rose
i'm his button hole, II white straw hat
with blue band; she was to carry a
small satchel of peculiar shape in one
hand and fluffy lace handkerchief in
the other.
The train arrived at the Eastern
station on time and the satchel oi
peculiar design was sighted. Ii was
indeed. of peculiar design-it was al
old fashioned carpet-bag. Of grayisl
green color. and considerably Older
than the Morse alphabet. The girl
was sight that would have made
Neil Burgess in the County Fair %
and hide. She was fully 4S years old,
Long corkscrew curls of a past era
hung down over shoulders like twists
of molasses candy, and a smile loometl
up under the caves of her sun-bonnel
that would have done credit to a fissure
in the side of Vesuvius.
She was extremely glad To see him
and he, with the instinct Of a true
gentleman, tried To appear that he
was just as glad to see her. He took
her carpet-bag and they boar'le'i car
for the house where he WAS staying.
There were many sly nudges and con.
vert laughs at the tea table, all the
girls and young men thinking the
young operator was entertaining his
aunt from the country. For the eve
ming performance at the theatre the
giddy maiden fished out an awful
bonnet from the depths Of her carpet
bag and sliced up her curls in the
most approved fashion. The bonnet
was flower garden of itself, and the
writer has the young mans own words
for it that she and the bonnet attracted
more attention than the play.
The next day he sent her home,
but ever after he was careful not to
allow himself to converse with anyone
on the wire except on business.

CARLETON'S VS.. NORMAL'S.

Saturday afternoon very interest
ing game of base ball was played at
the city park between the Carleton
college nine and Normal school nine.
Owing to the storm coming up, the
game was declared finished at the end
of the fifth inning, the score then
stood five to four in favor of the Garlic
ton club. An effort was made to play
the sixth inniug, but the weather did
not permit, The game was well
played on both sides. The Normal
school club is composed of some of the
best players in this portion of the
state, and are as gentlemanly and
courteous set of young men as can
be found anywhere. They put up a
splendid game against Carleton, but
the latter were fairly ahead at the
close of the fifth inning.
