Mystifled by an Abbreyiation.

Among the stories told about the ex-
periences of police telegraph operators
by the attaches of the electrical bureau
Is one which relates to an ex-special
officer, who is now regular operator
at substation up town. While actinb
as "sub" in West Philadelphia dis
trict he received call from the CEN
trail, which he promptly wrote on his
slate as he received it. At the close Of
the message he found that it read:
"Send wagon to Phil. Ahosp. and learn
condition of Hen Coop" He was COM
pletely stalled. He could not imagine
who Phil. Ahosp was, nor where he was
to be found, nor what particular hen
coop the central was interested in. He
felt that there was mistake some
where, but was satisfied that it must be
at the other end of the wire. AS the
hour was near relieving time, he decid-
ed to wait and consult his relief before
sending the wagon ON wild goose
chase or asking the central to repeat.
On the arrival of his relief he was in
formed that the operator who had sent
the message generally abbreviated his
messages, and probably the one received
would read: Send wagon to Philadel
phia hospital and learn condition of
Henry Cooper" This proved to be the
proper solution. Philadelphia Record.
