Show How CONGRESSMEN Do IT Bub Hale of Maine was in town to visit the members of the cabinet who were stopping at the Revere House And thereby hangs a very short tale The Ellsworth senatorial senator-ial eyelet of the republican body politic refused we understand to use a telegraphic blank which had the name of the Atlantic and Pacific Pa-cific Telegraph Company printed thereon and called bombastically for a Western Union blank HeWS He-WS informed that the Atlantic and Pacific had been merged into the Western Union and those were some old blanks that the Western Union desired to have used up After failing to be convinced that there was no sharp Yankee trick to be played upon him he carefully crossed out the words Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company and substituted the words Western Union Telegraph Company Then he pasted a Western Union deadhead dead-head frank on the message and the great pressure on the sm til sized senatorial brain was relieved The genial Blaine should post his little Bub up on the current news of the day otherwise lie will get so mixed up that some country town crier will have a hard job to find him one I of these days Boston Post 18th |
