Understood English Welt Enough.


A North-sider of a musical turn OF
mind was starting down town recently
when the strains of hand organ
played by an Italian across the street
reached his ear He recognized the
music as a popular aria from ''Semira-
mide." The harmony was perfect and
the impresario at the crank was con-
Quoting the performance with excellent
judgment as to tempo.
Startled at hearing music OF such a
class from the much abused hand organ
the North side citizen stopped and lis
tened. The organist finished the aria
made some change in the interior ad.
justment Of the machine and started it
again. The selection this time was from
"Lohengrin," and the performance was
equally good.
When the music ceased the listener
crossed the street, took coin from his
pocket, gave it to the organ grinder,
and said:
do you understand English?"
"Yeh," replied the impresario, pocket
ing the coin and grinning delightedly.
"Then l want you to play that last
piece again" .- =.
The organist grasped the handle of
his machine, turned it with renewed
vigor, and the suffering atmosphere for
blocks around vibrated with the ago
nizing strains of after the Ball."-

THE OLD SPITE LANE.

The Spite Lane runs along the line 'twtXt
Slocum's farm and ours,
A narrow space letwceu each fence where
nothing grows hut flowers.
The relic of silly feud that smodered many
years.
That caused harsh words between the men and
reused our mothers fears:
A country quarrel long ago, quarrel Arm and
set,
Here where lives are narrow and people acont
forget.
We children keep the quarrel not, although its
mark is plain,
For there between our meadows green still runs
the old Spite Lane.
Somet times when father sits about, at peace
with all the world
The country paper his knee. the smoke
wreaths bout him curled.
l drop hint on foolish spites that run to cruel
ends,
And how much nicer it would be II neigtbors all
were friends
He'll snap out: mo! I'll fight it out! Them
SiOcums can't beat me-
But he amt hearty in it now as what he
used TO tc;
When cross the line he'd shake his fist and
fairly almost swear
While OF man Slocum with his men would
hoer: jest you darc!'
But then, those times, think, are gone; they'll
never come again
And some bright day Wen tear away the silly
old Spite Lane.
For, often in the eyentide, when at the pasture
bars
The cowbells tinkle IN the dusk beneath the
summer stars
Sweet Laura SlOcum steals away to meet me
again
No angry words can then be heard across the
old Spite Lane.
Old feuds old hates, old quarrels harsh, young
hearts can Cnd them thus,
The fences mark lovers lane just wide enough
for US.
The Spite Lane runs aloEg the line 'tWixt
Socum's farm and ours;
1t marks path of sullen wrath--but naught
Gro"a there save flowers.

Ludicrous Antics of a Great Man Upon a
London Street.


James Hinton, the celebrated aurist
and essayist, was one Of those men who
are absolutely oblivious to the impress
Sion made upon the world by their own
eccentricities of demeanor. He was an
odd little man. AS some one once said
of him: ''There never lived q man
with q whittier soul, a warmer heart or
/ Il shriller voice" He wrote book that
set the world talking, and also leaped
at once into a fine medical practice.
One day j. c. JeaHreson was walking
along London street, when he heard
his own name uttered in high treble.
He says:
Turning quickly round, I saw
little, fragile man dancing about the
pavement in high excitement, to the
considerable inconvenience of way.

"Having, by this time, shaken my

and, in doing SO, Numbered against
stout lady, and knocked small boy
down into the gutter. After viewing
me in the right perspective, he danced

me, calculating in the highest notes of
