OH!

You Telephone Girl, You Hear The Gossip, The News, Who Has The Blues, Oar Troubles, And—

The telephone girl sits still in her chair and listen to voices from everywnere. She hears all the goBsip she hears all the news she knows who is happy and who has the blues she knows of our sorrows she knows of our joye, she knows every girl who is chasing the boys she knows of our troubles she knows of our strife, she knows every man who talks mean to his wife, she knows each time we are with the boys, she bears the excuse each fellow employs she knows every woman who has a dark past, she knows every man who is inclined to be fast, in fact there's a secret 'neath each saucy curl, of that quiet demure looking telephone girl.

If tbe telephone girl would tell all she knows it would turn half our friends into bitterest foes she would sow a small wind that would soon be a gale, engulf us in trouble and land us in jail she could let go a story (which gaining in force) would cause half our wives to sue for divorce. She could get all the churches mixed up in a fight and turn all day to Borrowing night, in fact she could keep this whole town of Exira in a stew, if she would tell a tenth part of the things that she knew. Oh, brother, now doesn't it make your head whirl, when you think what you owe to tbe telephone girl.—Ex.
