Review,'’ " Th» Stockowners’ Guido.” A commercial man was rash enough to make a telephone call when exceedingly short of time, and found when ho spoke ho had been put on to the wrong number. The number he wanted was the simplest possible—one. To shortness of time lie thereupon added shortness of temper, and- somewhat angrily complained to tho operator of her mistake. “ What I want,” he finished by declaring with .savage distinctness, “ is ‘ one ’ oil the trunk/’ And the operator retorted quietly: “ Yes, you do, and I'd like to give it to you.”
