The Rural Telephone.

Neighbors not so far from here
Put in telephones last year;
Farmers built q rural line,
Instruments all "talked up" fine.
All you had to do was ring
Every bell went ting-a-ling;
One for Swanson, two for Boggs,
Long and short call for old Scrogs.
Every neighbor had his call
Twist the crank and that was all.
Mighty nice when work was through,
To gossip for an hour or two
With your neighbors one by one;
Mighty nice-but lots Of fun
When you heard some other two
Telling what was not for you.
Every time the signal rang,
To the phone each farmer sprang,
Slyly grinned, and softly took
Each receiver from its hook.
Other peoples secrets dear
Poured into his large red ear;
How he slapped his legs, II swum,
Telephonin's lots of fun"
Somehow in week or two
Troubles dark began to brew;
Farmer Jones got fighting hot,
Heard Scrogs calling hum sot;
Farmer Scrogs seemed angry too;
Heard Smith telling what he knew,)
Smith heard Johnson telling lies,
Paid him off with two black eyes.
johnson heard young Isaac Boggs
Underbid him on his hogs;
Boggs o'erheard sneaking churl
Making love to his best girl.
Women, too, were in the muss,
Raised most tremendous fuss.
Every one from Scrogs to Jones,
In glass houses throwing stones.
Now the line has silent grown,
Wires rusted, poles o'erthrown;
Twenty friends are deadly foes,
Each one full of griefs and woes,
Each too mad to speak a word,
cause Of things they'd overheard.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

troubles we're to be traced to the kidneys,

all constitutional diseases have their begin
