Telephone FelioItles.

The jokes of telephone transmits
sion are innumerable. The humor-
Gus as we'll as provoking features of
the service are of daily recurrence,
and generally most amusing to those
who are not directly concerned. One
day two parties quite distant wished
to converse upon business matters,
as previously agreed. They sue
ceeded in ringing up all right, but
then the circus commenced. They
hello'ed and jabbered at each other
without being able to make the
other hear intelligibly. This con-
tinued until both were getting a lit
tie vexed when some one about mid
way of the line was heard to say
very plainly Say hold on there,
I'll give it to him straight, and he
did. 1t was a perfect relay, or
transfer and the two principals got
ali the knowledge they We're after
through the third party. This sort
of thing happens quite often and
there are no extra charges for this
extra service. Some of the Incl
dences of telephone service are
humorous if you have time to enjoy
them, but sometimes when in a
hurry the humor of the thing is not
quite so apparent, 1t sometimes re-
minds one, in its circumlocution, of
the gentleman on shipboard who
went to the layatory and found there
