It seems there was a newspaper in the
city of Glasgow, in Scotland, which etn- '*
ployed a Lbndon correspondent. The cor
respondent made it his duty to gather the
news every day and send it to Glasgow
every night by telegraph.
He made an arrangement with ths op
erator at a certain office, by which news
was sent to Glasgow at a reduction by the
year.
One night he arrived at the .lower door
at the fool of the stairs leading up into the
telegraph office. The door was locked,
and he could not open it.
The telegraph office was way up to the
top ot the building, id thesixth story. The
operator had a bed there, to which he re
tired promptly at three o’clock, and it was
now half-past*two. ,,
The operator up stairs yawned and
looked at his watch. “Jinkins won’teoifte
to night*” said he; “I may as well go to
bed.”" And there was poor Jinkenswl the
time pounding away on the doos at the
loot of the long stairs, unable to get in.
“What’s the row?" said a policeman
coming along.
“rm locked out, saiuJenkin*. Miiere
news for my paper—a murder, three fires
and a riot—and the door locked i« my
face, and I can't get in. What will I
do?”
So the policeman began hanging the
door, but Junes, the operator, up wi his
office, was as unconscious ot the tumult .
as if it had been in the moon. He was
whistling to himself at«l yawning prodig
iously.
‘Why don’t you go to some bother hof
fiee?’’ asked the poliueruan.
“No authority to use any other 1106,”
said the correspondent. “Ah! I've got it!”
he added, and before the policeman could •
ask what it was, tlie excited Jinkins dash
ed off down the street as if a mad dog
was after him.
Jinkins rushed breathlessly Into another
telegraph office, six blocks off,
“i say,” said he to the operator, “I’m
in a fix. Got news to send off inside of
half an hour, and the stupid operator at
my office has gone to sleep, and I can’t
get in—and—and—and—”
“Well, that is a fix.”
“Tell you what I want,” said Jinkins.
endeavoring to catch his breath; “I want
you to telegraph down to Glasgow, and
ask the operator there to telegraph up Were
to Jones, and bid him come down staim
and let me in.”
The operator roared with laughter at
this, but went at once to his instrument,
and began rattliug away at a great rate.
This is the message he sent:
“Glassgow. Wake Up Jones, Static*
X. Tell him Jinkins *t the foot of the
stairs, can't get in.”
Jones was looking at his watch again,
and concluded that ne had better put out
the lights and go to his little bed-room
across the way, when clatter, clatter, went
his instrument.
“There's Glassgow calling mq,” said
Jones; and hurried to his Instrument and
ticked off. “What’s wanting?”
Hack came the answer:
“Jinkins down stairs—door fast—let him
in.”
Off went Jones down stairs with a rush;
aud at last the anxious Jinkins got up and
sent off his news.
“Mo you see how a man sent a message
through a solid door, aud up four pair of
stairs, four hundred miles around, and by
way of Glasgow, and within twenty min
utes.
“Wasn't that four hundred miles up
stairs ?”
