orally accepted that "23'' is the fun
NEST thing that has happened for a
long time.
San attempt has been made to place
the credit or discredit of originating
the "23'' craze with the telegraph OPP
orators, but they deny all RESPONSE
biity for the atrocity. Numbers are
used to represent words and phrases
in telegraphy. Thus 10 means to I'M
derstand, 73 signifies good wishes, 90
is the abbreviation for "busy, call
again." and 30, as all people connect
ed with newspapers know, is the
signal for goodnight" or "fnis."
But 90 is unknown to the telegraphic
fraternity because 90 is mere i'm
becility and telegraphers have no time
for that sort of thing
San effort has even been made to
make Charles Dickens responsible for
the current inanity.
In Truth nobody can tell whence
'23' came or who gave it being. The
telegraphers Indignantly repudiate it
and the effort to fasten it upon Dickens
fails. Nor is the question important,
for like all other silly and senseless
fads, "23' will quickly pass into the
limbo of things forgotten. In the
meantime people who affect it will do
we'll to avoid the commissioners in
lunacy g.
