Making Sure Of Il Tenor.

The rnniW Magazine tells this story:
A French impressario was taking out to
New Orleans an opera company. which by
special agreement was only to include one
tenor. Foreigners are USUALLY bad sailors.
and the first few days all the members of
the company were sca-sick, one of the
effects of which malady is that it weakens
the voice so much that people are fre-
quently hoarse for several days after their
recovery. Accordingly, as soon as the
singers could crawl deck they com
menced to try their voices and among
them the tenor, who. always anxious to
occupy a distinguished position. went on
the bridge of the steamer for the purpose
" hat was his surprise on hearing an echo
OF his own voice-another tenor. His
amazement became disgust when he heard
the third tenor running up the scale, a
fourth fifth. He looked forward. and
saw two men eyeing him and each other
with intense hatred: he looked aft, and
saw two others similarly occupied. The
i've tenors simultaneously made u rush be-
low to the managers cabin, and demanded
whether he had not expressly stipulated to
each of them that he was to be his only
tenor Il know, l know replied the
manager, land | will keep my word. You
see, none of you have been to New Orleans
before, or you would understand. When
we arrive there the yellow fever is sure to
be raging, and as you are fresh from Eu-
rope two of you will probably be carried
of before you land, and two more during
the rehearsal. One will probably survive:
