A firm on'Maiden lañe received the following telegram one morning". "A musquito ül. Mr. A. A ." They were unable to divine why the sender of the message should have taken them into her confidence respecting the occurrence. Personally they would have been glad to know that all the musquitoes were ill beyond hope of recovery. One of their clerks did not appear that morning, however, and his absence enabled them to put this construction on the telegram: "Amos quite ill."
