j. b. Wekerlin is French musician
and composer who passes some OF his
leisure hours in collecting, from Out-Of-
the-way sources, anecdotes and general
gossip concerning things musical. In
the recently published second volume Of
his "Musicana" appears Wagner
story, aptly illustrative of the force Of
prejudice, which seems to be quite as
entitled as justice to an eye-bandage.
Students of Wagner's life know
that, while struggling for pre-
carious wage in Paris fifty years
ago, he arranged a pianotOrte edi-
ton of Donizetti's ia Favorita." His
name, then almost unknown, did not
commend the arrangement, and the
publisher accordingly had it printed in
very small letters ON the title page.
Years passed. "Tannhauser" was pro-
duced at the grand opera, and Wagner
was everywhere spoken of, if not quite
everywhere spoken against. The pub
Usher at once brought out a new edition
of La Favorita," with Richard Wag-
her" In large letters. lmagane his as

TACKLED THE WRONG GIRL
A New York Maiden Stupefies
Her Elderly Admirer.

From the New York Star.
A sparkling bit of comedy was en-
acted on Broadway yesterday after
bodied cars passed by Thirty-third
street, having as its sole occupant
young girl of twenty. She was very
pretty brunette, with dark. curly hair,
big, expressive eyes, and long, dropping
eyelashes. In her lap she carried a
bundle, and in her hand she held a
paper-backed novel, which she was
reading intently. She was the daughter
of one of New York's best known mu-
steal directors. A few feet below Thlr-
ty-Third street middle-aged man, hold
ing freshly lighted cigar in his hand,
swung ON to the front platform of the
car.
CHANGING inside he espied its pretty,
young occupant. She was smiling at
her cheeks made her bewitchingly at
tractive. Instantly the man cast his
cigar away, pushed back the car door,
entered and sat down opposite the fair
reader. She paid no attention to him,
and continued her reading without even
looking up. The man made several
futile attempts to attract her notice.
Finally he succeeded. The young girl
looked up, recognized her companion as
a well-known singer at the Casino and
involuntarily smiled.
The actor Immediately scented vic
tory, but the girl buried herself again
in her book, and try as he would he
could not cause her to again lift her
eyes. At Twenty-third street she left
the car. AS she did so she shot sly
glance at her persistent admirer. He
arose and followed her to the rear plat
form, standing there watching her re-
treating figure: AS she reached the
| curb she turned around and looked d.
rectly at the car. This was enough:
The singer jumped off and fastened
back. The young girl stood awaiting
him.
AS he approached and politely raised
his hat she said: ''You evidently don't
| know me, sir, but l do you; you were
| one of the guests at my christening. If
you will kindly carry this bundle l
shall be glad to have your company
home. know mamma will be glad to
see you. My name is -" The actor
turned red. white and blue; then brac-
ing himself he said: "Well, you were
the prettiest baby ever saw, and years
have improved you. Now please let
me apologize, and when you tell this in
cident at home please leave my name
out. You may tell your mother, how
ever, that you have learned that the
proverb, There's no fool like an old
fool is pretty nearly true. Goodbye"
And the actor raised his hat and went
off to hunt fresh cigar.
