INT0MBED FOR MUsIC's SAKE.

A well-dressed stranger strolled into
a New York musical instrument store
and asked the salesman to show him
some musical boxes. Picking up one
on the counter he turned the key setting
it in motion, and listened attentively
for some moments to the well-known air
"Mother's Teeth Are Plugged With
Zinc" Every pretty, indeed" he re-
marked, "but as I'm not a dentist, it
isn't quite what want" The next one
warbled "Sweet Vi-o-lets" in a manner
that led him to drop it with amazing
swiftness. "I'm sure,". he observed
reproachfully, 81 don't know what I've
done to deserve that" "Over the Gar
den Wall" issued from the next box
and while the wretched man was still
lingering from the blow fourth box
broke out with "For Goodness Sake,
Don't Say Told You" He could stand
it no longer and hastily pocketing two
musical boxes and three flutes, the
whole valued at SIG, he remarked that
he had an engagement in Jersey City
and left. Guided by the air, "I'll
Spend My Summer on Blackwell's Isle, -
that issued from the fugitive's coat-tail
pocket, Officer Van Arsdale, of the
Broadway squad. went in pursuit and
overhauled his man. He was taken to
the Church Street Station, where tine
stolen property was found on his person.
As he was being taken below one of the
boxes startled everybody by executing
"IIark, From the Tombs."
