RMUSIC IN HIS WHISTLE.
&E TALENT OF A MEMSER OF THE

&How He Did His Share Of the Entertain

Old F-iend-The Soldier Who Whistled
Down Brigade.
"At little gathering be was called upon
to do his part in entertaining the company
and begged off on the plea that he could do
nothing but whistle. That was fatal ad-
mission, end be was Immediately sentenced
by unanimous vote to whistle for the edih-
cation Of the ladies and gentlemen present
He went to the piano, touched the keys II
way that Indicated that he was no tyro, and
then began tc whistle, playing his own &C
compartment There are good many lnl-
tasions Of the mocking bird extant, but IN
this case the notes and trils of the mock
ing bird were faithfully and vividly repro

roomful of people realized that they were
listening to a whistler who outranked all the
professionals they had ever heard Then he
whistied Annie Laurie, and before tie end
of the performance the ladies and gentlemen
voted this quiet business man the most de-

THE MERCHANTS REQUEST.
''I know whom you mean" said CONNER
cial traveller This same whistler was on
the road good many years ago and he was
one of the best salesmen that travelled When
he could not sell man a bill Of goods he
would sit down and begin to whistle softly
or would take out little harmonica from
his pocket and begin to play as though for
his own amusement or to kill time. He
whistled and played while he waited, while
other men would have spent the time grurn-
bling and growing over their disappointment
in not making sale. After the whlStilng
solo he very rarely failed to make salts
factory sale of goods The stoniest hearted
old merchant could not withstand such music.
There was one old merchant down in Indiana
who was regular customer of our whistling
friend, but he never gave him an order for
goods until he had played the harmon:ca and
whiStled several tunes for him. This, as
have said, was many years ago. When our
whistler made his last trip before leaving the
road, this old merchant bought big bill Of
goods and then said: Ny young friend, your
music has been to me one Of the sweetest
things In life. For that reason regret that
you are going to leaye the road, but want
you to promise me that if ever you come to
Evansville again you viii come over to the
store and play for me- II am not there
my body will probably be in the cemetery.
and in that case want you to 50 out to my
grave and play ''Di2e" and Sweet By and

The oppressed Irish tenants are taking
Mr.. BAIFoUR at his word.
They are meeting the Landlords League

MIR. PARNELL Is 10 ha president, and IN
which il is intended that the existing Ma

such unlawful methods as the plan OF

by the so-caIed physical force party or
Clan-na-Gsel will be abandoned. From
the American point Of view II seems clear
that the sooner Mr.. PARNELL's policy OF
strictly lawful agitation Is universally
adopted by the Irish people, the sooner the
success of Home Rule will come. 1t mus.
come through securing the sympathy and
friendship of the Liberal party and the
masses of the people of England, and that
is repelled and aGenated by violence and
unlawful methods Of any kind. To talk
of winning by physical force is dream OF
madness. and to resort to such methods
when it ia clear that they can do nothing
hut irritate and embitter is folly Mr.
PARNErL never gave the plan Of cam
p,isa" any couoJenaucs, muca less
the schemes Of dynamiters and theu
like. The fact he sccepts the leader

policy will be lawful and ITS methods
legitimate. Il. Will aim to protect and
succor evicted and rack-rented tenants
and. no doubt TO light their cause before
the land courts and the Law courts and the
greater bar Of public opinion. Mr. PAR
NELL has fought a great fight, and 1t has
been made much harder by the backhre
which moonhgbters and dyuamiters snd

Every blow Of violence that has been
struck against landlords or officials has

every such blov HE wcrk has been rade

can bring an. OF nearly all Irishmen to
the support of PARNELL and his policy II
will be a great gain. That evidently IS
the expectation Of the ardent DAvTrr, and
all good friends Of Ireland-s classification
which includes pretty much everybody in
Amsrica-will hope that his expectation
will be realized.
