The Hello Girl Scored.

At Washington the newspaper correspondents are telling the following story about Representative' Walter Brownlow, of Tennessee. Recently he called up somebody at the White House. He had a fierce time. Central, who had tried to get the number for him, appeared to be inexperienced or asleep. Mr. Brownlow, ordinarily the most patient of men, finally lost his patience. “Look here!” he “quit this/foolishness! Either get me the White House or give me some place where I may at least talk to my intellectual equal!” Silence for 'a moment, and then over the wire came a good loud “Hello!” in a man’s voice. ■ Mr. Brownlow was much relieved. “What place is this?” he asked. “The Government Hospital for the Insane, across the river,” came the answer. Representative BroyrnloW is now ’endeavoring to ascertain that central’s name. He wants to have her promoted. That’s what he says to the newspaper men. —Judge.
