Story OF Badly Spelled message oehI
by Telegraph.
Several years ago a young man,
whom we will call H, was employed
as night operator in q small town in
Illinois.
The second night Of his services a
circus arrived in town and with 1t
great many farmers from the sur
rounding country. H went on duty
at seven o'clock in the evening. About
an hour later a stranger came in to
send telegram As soon as he had
written and paid for the message the
operator sat down to the instrument
and proceeded to tick off the telegram,
which was brief, and read, not incluG-
ing address and signature:
"Have sean the party send NEE the
muney."
When the operator had nearly fin
ished sending the message the recciv-
ing operator tclcgraphed back: What
you givin' u.s." referring to the spelling
in the message.
The rules of the Western Union COM
.pany prohibit any conversation on the
wire between operators. but ncverthe-
less this rule is frequently broken. 1t is
also q strict rule that messages shall
always be sent and words spelled as
they are written, even II, as is often
the case, the words arc spelled wrongly.
But at the time H took this job
he was as ignorant OF these rules as an
Indian, so to the operators query as to
what he was ''givin' him" he replied
| thusly: make it read: Have seen the
party, send me the money
'That's moro like it," said the rcceiv'
ing operator.
Il guess the bloko that wrote il

the sending brass FOUNDER.
The next monent he was chilled to
the marrow by the soft words tha
waited DER his shoulder:

came from the "blollc" that wrote tn
message.
