The Party Line.
A neighborhood not far from horo,
Put in tolophonos last year;
Farmers built a rural lino,
Instruments all talked up flno,
All you had to elo was ring,
Every boll went ting-a-liug,
Ono for Swanson, two for Boggs,
Long and short for Mr. Soroggs
Every neighbor had hit call;
Twist tho crank and that wit's nil.
Mighty iiicowhen wo k wits thru'
To gossip for nn hour or two
With your neighbors, ono by ono;
Mighty uico, but lots of fun
To eivorhear somo other two
Tolling what wits not for you.
Every timo tho signal rang
To the phono i nch fanner sprang,
Slyly grinned and s ftly took
Tho receiver from tho hook;
Othor people's secrets dear
Pourrii into his largo red ear;
Slapped his log and said, "I swum
Tolophoiilug's lots of fun."
Somehow in a woolc or two
Troubles elti' k began to brow.
Fa nn or Jones got lighting hot;
Heard Scroggs calling him u sit.
Farmer Sorogs grow angry too,
Heard Smith tolling what ho know;
Smith heard Johnson tolling lios,
Paid him olf with two black eyes.
Johnson dioard young Ezra Boggs
Undorbid him on his hogs;
Boggs overheard a sneaking churl
Making lovo to his bost girl.
Wonion too woro in tho muss.
Raised a mosttromondous fuss,
Every ono from Scroggs to Jones
In glass housos throwing stones,
Now tho lino has silent grown,
Wires rusted, poles o'erthrown,
Twonty ft lends uro cloatlly foes,
Each one full of grlotn and woes,
Each to mad toospoak a word,
