call before he will talk. Then per haps he delays answering and the person calling has to pay forstF1 de- lay in terms of toll line charges. Tf1e, teIephone company attempts to over come this trouble by stating the con ditions to the person calling and re- questing his consent to the connec- ton.
 The ..funny- man is another pest to other subscribers He is the nan who calls you up and wants you to see if the street lamp on your corner is lighted. If you fall for it, he says, Now. go and blow it out, 7 iaughse heartily and hangs upN the l telephone. Does the person called get angry with the man who made Eoperator and in indignant tones de
 mands that the company protect him from such nonsense. Another good l joke'' is to call someone out of bed in the night or early morning.
 l When the fire bell rings, the To- 1 1ca1 operator will tell the subscribe
 CTS the number of the box and it's 1o- cation but she cannot tell whose property is burning down. We don know and if we did we wouldn't have
 time to give it out, the calls come in l so rapidly The audible fire alarm is certainly bane to the telephone company. If all the people who in quiIed about the fire were leg1tlfnate- iy anxious for their property it would be different, but a matter of fact it is mostly idle curiosity. About once in so often we get<a bitter com plaint that we do not give more in- formation regarding a. fire.
 This heavy rush5fof traffic caused by hundreds of persons wanting cen tral at once is serious proposition to our operat tors.- Prize fights, base ball, football games, and boat races formerly brought many inquiries Tor the score or the winner, until we were compelled. to.9refuse such service in the interest of those who had 11eg1ti- mate use for the telephone at such times. ttIs there any school?' was another inquiry that we were obliged to stop answering. The flood of calls from this cause came about quarter of eight in the morning before our entire operating force was assembled and we simply could not cope with it.
 Then there is the man who wants to use the company as a call boy and have us, Gall him early in the morn ing, call him early, mother dear, for he wants to catch. a train. With alarm clocks at 569c and clock making a prominent Connecticut industry, it would be unfair for us to try and compete with the clock makers Be- sides. there is the responsibility in volVed with the company ought not to undertake. Should the man miss his train he would presumably lost thousands of dollars in business deal and we, of course. would be re sponsible. He might have been going to Branford to see if his summer cot. tage had survived the last cold snap, but, should we fail to call him. he would have been going to New York on an appointment with J. P. Nor gan & Co.,, to underwrite 8 million dollars worth of Mexican bonds.

.sI knew it. he says to his wife. i've been trying to get you all the after noon. You been away?'' And she says, .sNo, darling, the bell never rang Of course it didn't for she originated the call that made the line busy but she forgets to tell him so- And so another good husband is mis- led and the. telephone company is made the goat.
 Would you think that there would be people who would try to ttdo'' the company out of a ttjitney?'' We'll, there are. There are unmentionable persons who instead of putting in a nickel when told to by the operator unsuccessfu1ly try to initiate bell, hit the apparatus with 3, lead pencil, swear by all they hold dear that they put in the nickel before the took the receiver off the hook. The ingenuity of these persons is devilish but they seldom put it over.'' The signals are too distinctive to initiate. They are covered by steel castings, and the operators become very expert at tell ing false signal. We had one case
