ORIGIN OF A SLANG PHRASE
ABughouse" Started When Telegraph
Operator Found He Apparatus
Short-CIrcuIted by q Bug.

Slang, the German word for snake,
ereeps Into our language in spite of our
vigilance" writes a correspondent OF
the New York World. ITO illustrate:
Some i've or six years ago certain
telegraph operator, Joe Lilly, in large
Baltimore office, called up Cincinnati
by telegraph. but could not make him
self understood. although he could cas-
lily understand the message sent him.
Then he called up other cities with the
same result. Evidently something was
wrong, so he notified the electrician,
who on opening the box containing the
transmitting apparatus found bug
which in the course of its wanderlust
had short-circuited the machine.
THE other operators gave the victim
q horse laugh for having q 'bughouse'
transmitter. Even the messengers &C
cused each other OF being 'bughouse,
and inside OF an hour 1t was flashed
from one city to another. But after q
while race Of employees sprang up
who know not Joseph, and to these the
word 'bughouse conveyed not much
meaning.
Gould 'bughouse' compete with
'crazy?' Well, for a time, 'bughouse'
