HER OLD CHARGE IN DANGER. Aunt Maria's Efforts to Save Her Master From the Telephone. New York Herald, There is a well to-do young Southern man in this city who lives in a handsome residence not far from Central Park, and he has among other valued pos- sessions a. tamiiy or seven children. ! M He had heen "brought up" by an old negro "mammy" some where near Alexandria, Va. , and when his wife recently suggest ed that another nurse be secured for the children his thoughts reverted to Aunt Maria. He decided to bring the old negress here, and in a few weeks she was comfortably installed in the nursery , munh to the' awe of the Northern born Southrons, who were not familliar with the in stitutions of a bygone age and who did not quite understand Aunt Maria's authority. The young man has a tele phone in his house' and as the old negress had never herd pi that invention shej looked uppn it at first with wonder and then with suspicion. The jingling bell, receiver and jother neces sary adjuncts were more than Aunt Maria's mind could master. She would never go near "dit debbiPs t'ing nohow." R Finally, one day last week S. rang up from his office, land after a brief conversation re quested his wife to send the Old woman to the telephone. 1 A erreat deal of persuasion was required to make ..: but she was finally place the receiver and listen. j I "Is that you, Aunt Maria?" inquired S. over the wire. j An expression of astonishment spread over the old woman's j countenance, mii klv followed! : Horse Sense.
