The Insult Was Wired.

A telegraph operator on one of the
morning papers recently told me good
story of how he got rid ofa TOO frequent
visitor, whose nightly calls during
business hours had come TO be a nuis-
ance. The intruder was also an oper-
ator, but was temporarily out of a job.
One evening he came in as usual and
planted himselfin a chair. Receiving
no answers to his questions, he lapsed
into silence and listened 10 the steady
click Of the instrument. Suddenly a
look Of disgust crossed his face. lie
arose, glared at the operator, who kept
on writing, turned ON his heel and
walked ont. This happened week
ago, and he has not called since. What
was the cause of his sudden departure
That is easily answered. In response
to a previous request the operator at
the other end of the line sent this mes
