A FIendfsh Joke.

orchestral leader, "the best Joke
ever played in this town was on
an ambitious amateur pianist
when Gottscnalk was here. The
amateurs father was the owner
of q large hall, and offered the use
of it to Gottschalk for his benefit.
There was to be a piece for eight
pianos, and amateur was to play
one of the instruments. was to
lead. l thought Gottschalk would
have fit when l told him
that the amateur couldn't play
three straight notes Of the piece.
"IIe is sure to throw US all
out" said /, land ruin the per-
formauce.n
"Gottschalk swore like a major,
but twas no good. The bills wero
out, and he couldn't go back on
his programme, even If the gift of
the ball for the night was no con-
sideralion to him. He last / hit
on an idea that fixed the whole
business. The amateur came
down to rehearsal, and We prais-
ed him up until he thought he
was to be the star of the night,
AS soon as he left we took the
hammers out of his piano and
made 1t dumb as an oyster.

The tuneful convention laughed.
"And just as thought nsaid the
leader, hammering on tho table
with his glass, "that amateur or
his friends never discovered the
trick
"No?"
mo, sir; he just sailed in and
pounded on that piano as If it was
the worst enemy he ever had, He
was bound to show off among SO
many good pinaists, and hammer
ed on his keyboard until the per-
SEPARATION nearly blinded him.
Now and then | looked at himap-

friends all aronnd threw bouquets

over his fond parent fell on his
neck in the greenroom and slip
ped check for $3.50 into his hand.
