EDISON THE DREAMER. now Ba Cot It id of Same Some bed referred to Edison as Victor Hugo when he made his as en operator in our telegraph in Boston, and it was by name we generally spoke of him.

One night about p. m. there down an inquiry as to where tho press report was, and, on going to tho desk where Edison was at work, Bight Manager Leighton was horrified to find that there was nothing ready to go up stairs, for reason that Edison had copied between 1,500 and words of and other market reports in a I so small that ho had only filled u of a page. laughed in spite of him- -if, and Tom. Don't do that again hastened to cut tho copy up into minute and have it prepared in -n more acceptable manner. While this was occurring Edison went on receiving, and the frequent trips of tho noisy dummy box, which communicated with the on the next gave evidence that he was no longer hand- writing with an ultimate view to putting the Lord's prayer on a cent piece. But all at there was a great noise, and it was evident that Press Agent Wallace, a most profane man, was coming down the stairs, swearing and shouting as he came. Everybody grew excited except Edi- son, who was perhaps dreaming of the possibilities in some of tho realms of electrical endeavor in which ho has since won renown.

The last note of his voice and the last remnant of a vocabulary of which was famous through- out the city was gone. Standing there with both hands full of small, white page of paper, he could only beckon. Leighton approached bin; and tenderly took sheets of pa- per from him, to find that Edison had made the radical change from bis first style of copy to simply put- ting one word on each sheet, direct- in the center. ITs had died in this way several hundred pages in a very few minutes.
