The Telephone , you've heard the name , and
„ heard them ring the bell ; i1 *
It's been in use now forty years , as near as I * *
can tell.
j The wires are strung from phone to phone , on
ifi
j posts set in the ground ,
? With arms nailed on and little prongs to put
glass thimbles 'round.
3
% The wires are tied around the glass , and strung
3 , all over , 'most ,
A hundred wires or more sometimes adorn a
single post.
Now , what we want to say just now , as clatter
goes our bell ,
These wires get mixed , sometimes , and tear our
temper all to - well !
" \Ye never know just who is meant when bells
in every place ,
Eing all at once , we're all called up , to meet
there face to face ;
One yells "hello , " another talks , "who is this ? "
someone cries ,
"What do you want ? " "Who , who are you ? ' ! ,
9j and thus our patience tries.
e ?
They all are talking , wires are crossed , "I don't
want , " "sakes alive , "
Another says : "there's some mistake , I called
for eighty-five. "
\Ye \ hear the prattle o'er the wires and how they
say good-bye ,
First loud , then soft , as if they moved , then
hear the baby cry.
q
Noiv , central when you ring up ten , ring our
bell clear and strong ,
And should we fail to answer then , just jingle
loud and long.
$ .Our press and engine must stop work , while
someone answers phone.
Don't keep us waiting there too long , it puts us
out of tone.
Some use the phone for business pure , and
. „ stand right on the spot ,
* The same it is with gossipers who keep the
wires hot.
They talk about the neighbors or at something
they will scoff ,
+ < j But I am tired now of this , so mebbe I'll ring
off.

ott's drug store window where

which they will be sent to the
State University. The jaw bone
and a tusk is quite plain. Some
of the teeth are umnistakeably
well preserved and several verte
brae and other bones are plain
enough to leave no doubt as to the
size of the elephant being greater
than the ordinary.
