LETTERS WERE A HOODOO
Sign with a Bad Record Which Tel
egraphers Were Reluc-
tant to Use.

Telegraph operators always have
personal signs which they place on all
messages they send and receive. Usu-
ally they use two or three initials or
take two letters from their names. For
instance, James Black will probably
use "JB" as his sign. In many cases,
however, they choose their signs in a
peculiar way, says the Kansas City
Times.
1--WE once had man working here
who signed IKE because he had taken
the Kelley cure" said a Kansas City
chief operator recently. HE after
ward went back to drinking and then
used b. deriving it from booze
Another fellow signed 'PS' because he
used to say he received a poor salary.
"A woman operator we had here used
to sign Xix, her initials, until one
day her beau Tilted her and married
another girl. After that she signed
'BH,' which, we understood, meant
broken heart
"In an eastern office where | once
worked there was a hoodOo sign. 1t
was 'KQ' The first man who used it
was killed by a train; the next one
went crazy, and the third died of ty-
phoid fever. After that nobody in the
Office dared use thas hoodoo sign.
THE story about its being jonah
Travelled over the country, and to-day
you'll find very few operators signing
