spHoNE GIRL SAYS "o."
10, she's Not Surprised, But IL Draw
AnG Nearer to NauSht-"Ought"
Crates on Sensitive Ears.

The telephone girl is progressive.
For years and years in repeating num-
Der which had zero included she would
always call it ''oLon at" For instance, II
a subscriber called for twenty four
thirty" the telephone girl would repeat:
hree-four-ought." When some
subscriber who had little feeling OF
compassion for the kings English,
which was being so cruelty murdered
right before his ears, would gently OBJ
ject and say: "Two-four-three-nau
the girl would again repeat, ought,
and tell the subscriber to look in the
dictionary"
But the world moves, says the New
York Herald. The "naught" is COM
mencing to be realized in the most ex-
elusive telephone circles. 1t could not
be expected that the telephone girl
would surrender all at once. She has
fought for that Ought" too long to drop
1T Immediately, and thus confess that
she had been wrong.
So, while she has dropped the ought"
she has taken up 20" instead. So now
she repeats 2340 in this manner, two
three-four-O."
1t is splendid victory for English un-
defiled. Optimists can now see dawning
that glad day when the telephone girl
WI say "naught" right out loud.

A much needed change in the arrange
ment OF the ticket and telegraph Offices of
the Western Maryland railroad at this place
has Just been effected. Heretofore the room
had been blind" that is, but the south side
lighted, toilet room in the rear cutting off
light and ventilation. This has been re-
moved and the Offices now extend entirely
through the building and toilet has been
placed in both waiting rooms. This gives
much needed additional Office space, ample
light and good ventilation.
A partition and screen renders private the
agents Office and hand rail cuts off the tel
cgraph Office, leaving an alley open to the
public between the two. The work was
done under the direction of Mr.. |. w. 10y,
