Recognized Her.

An old farmer couldn't really be-
licvc that people who were miles apart
were able to converse over a tcle-
phone wire. One day his wife went
to distant friend who had tele-
phone in her house. During the af-
tcrnoon the farmer sought shelter
from thunderstorm in the house Of
a neighbor, who also possessed tele-
phone and who persuaded the farmer
to call up his wife as little surprise.
Following instructions, the farmer
put the receiver to his ear and after
the usual preliminaries, shouted:
"Ialloa, Jane"
Just then flash OF lightning struck
the wire and he fell to the floor under
the force OF the shock.
Rising to his feet and shaking his
head wisely, sc said: "It's wonderful! |!
