Show Kdlaon's Little Joke. When the phonograph was a newer invention in-vention than it is at the present time, Edison put one of the machines in a clock and placed it in a guest chamber. Being a great lover of a practical joke he also placed a friend in tho guest chamber cham-ber one night. Just as his friend was disrobing he heard a voice exclaim: "Eleven o'clock; one hour more." It is needless to say that slumber did not descend de-scend upon tbe eyelids of the visitor during that hour. At midnight the voice exclaimed: "Twelve o'clock; prepare pre-pare to die!" This was too much for the visitor, and he sprang from his bed and rushed to the library, where Edison and his friends were waiting patiently expecting ex-pecting his appearance. The invention was soon explained and quiet restored. Kansas City Times. |
