AY EVENING, April. 6, I!
don't want to see, is asking for some
| Information that you can't give and
are not interested in. Supposing this
happens when you are more or less
affected by the contagion of i'll nature
that follows election day, and you are
busy anyhow. It would require a bet
ter philosophy than has yet been put
to any genera use to entertain warm
and tender sentiments toward the per-
son that rang you up There is no
question taht the telephone Is a most
troublesome invention. Still, in case
the message had been sent by an old
| and dear friend who kept you from
| your work for half an hour to gossip
about your relatives and other enc
| mics, though you came down the same
| number of steps and knew you had to
| walk up the same number again, as in
! the other case-yes, the telephone is,
/ after all, most convenient luxury;
( for does it not enable you to visit your
| friends without dressing and primp-
! ing? 1t is so easy just to go from one
part of the mouse to the other, and
| presto! you know the cause of Harry'S
| last quarrel with his wife and many
other weighty affairs of state. So the
| telephone continues to hang in your
| house, and your only wish is that there
| could some system be devised by
which a sort of telegraphic code of
| give you a hint of the identity of the
caller or the nature of the errand.
