The Rural Telephone.

A neighborhood not far from

Put in a telephone last year;
Farmers built rural line,
Instruments all talked up" fine.
All you had to do was ring,
Every bell went ting Ling;
One for Swanson, two for Boggs,
Long and short for Mrs. Scroggs;
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 and lots of fun
Other peoples secrets dear
Poured into his large red ear;
Slapped his leg said: L swan.
Telephones lots of fun"
Somehow in a week or two
Troubles dark began to brew.
Farmer Jones got fighting hot,
Heard Scroggs call him drunk
en- sot.
Scroggs always got angry, too,
Heard Smith telling what he
knew.
Smith heard Johnson telling lies,
Paid him off with two black eyes;
Johnson heard young Ezra Boggs
Underbid him on his hog;
To Overhear some other two
Telling what was not for you.
Every time the signal rang
To the phone each farmer
sprang.
Slyly grimmed and softly took
The receiver from the book:
Boggs overheard a sneaking
churl
Making love to his best girl.
Women, too, were in the muss,
Everyone from Stroggs to Jones
I 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 overheard.
