Did the young lady take her fathers

One of the good deacons in a certain
church is also the superintendent of tie
Sunday school, and although he is not
an artist, he frequently illustrates points
in the lesson by the use Of the black
board These exercises are for the spe-
cial benefit of the younger portion OF
the school. and the superintendent has a
habit of asking questions about what he
has drawn.
Having drawn the representation of a
crown, one Sunday, much after the
style OF all such royal appendages, he
said: Now, what one of the little folks
can tell me what this is?''
Several raised their hands, but the su-

How Rossini Was Fooled.

how hOSSlnl W as L OOl6Q.
The National Tribune.
A very good April-fool story has been
told at the expense of the eminent COM
poser, Rossini, when he was resident at
Milan and already famous. On the
morning of certain lst of April be re-
ceived the following pleasing nCte: IA
lady who has come from Rome TO Milan
especially to make the acquaintance of
the Maestro, whose melodies encircle
the globe and carry his fame into all
parts of it, will await you this evening
at Scala, in box No. 9, of the first tier. to
to tell you viva voce what she dare not
entrust to paper" Now this G. eat man
was really inordinately cOnceited where
the fair sex were concerned. Therefore
he was simply tickled to death with this
effusion; noticing the delicate hand
writing, the subtle perfume and the i'm
posing crest, all betokening some dame of
high degree. "One more conquest" he
softly murmured.
While indulging in tender reveries.
the tenor, David, noted for his caustic
humor as well as his fine voice, dropped
in upon him. In the course of the con-
versation he remarked, Have you heard
the news? The wife of the Ambassador
of France has arrived in town.
sis she pretty?" inquired Rossini, Ian
guidly.
Adorable, and she happens to be
wild about your music. Her first thought
was to secure a box for tonight.
The Maesto woke up. For to o-night?"
he asked eagerly.
'Yes," replied David. 81 was at the
theater when the servant came. He en-
gagged box in the irst tier"
"Do you know the number of the
box?''
No. 9, [ think"
Rossini nearly swooned with Joy after
David's departure. When evening ar
rived he made the most elaborate toilet,
soaked himself with perfumes, and bad
his hair curled till he was we'll nigh IL
resistible, and then sailed forth on easy
conquest bent. On reaching La Scala
he soon gained an entrance into box No
9, but found it empty.
'Ah, a trifle early" he said to himself
''Swell people never arrive in time" He
fingered anxiously through the first and
second acts, and the conclusion of the
third found him fretting and fuming
like a Gagged animal. The door was
slightly opened at this juncture, and
note thrown in by an attendant
1t read as follows:
"My Dear Maestro: The Ambassadress
Of France has charged the undersigned
with her excuses. 1t is impossible for
her to come to the theater tonight. for
three reasons: In the first place, she has
not left Rome; secondly, she will proba
bly, never come to Milan, because, third
ly, and lastly, she does not exist. (French
Ambassador has been a widower for
three years.
Accept, Incompatible Maestro, the
assurance of the profound esteem of the
undersigned.
always your devoted admirer.
PRIMO APRILE."
"Fool that L amI'' groaned poor Ros-
sini A little later he encountered Da-
vid in the wings, evidently in contor-
tions of mirth.
"Well," remarked his malicious friend,
"found the trick well played?"
The composer of al Barbiert" never
forgot the first of April after that.
