All the appointments of the occasion were
admirable. For so large a crowd there wore no
vexatious delays, the tables were we'll and
promptly served, excellent music was dis

FUN IN BILL POSTING.
HUMoR IN A BUSINESS WHERE YOU
WOULDN'T LOOK FOR IT.,

z:S.s-Ssyuc and Mirthful Effects ProdCreS
WaAh Paste Pot and Brush-Devils and
Angels Arc Inoongruously Mixed Up.
"Post No Bills" Goes.
All trades have their droll aspects,
but that Of tho billposter is one long
vista Of fun. He may become an artist
comedian of the first order. It does not
require much brain weight either. An
old fence is his only arena, and his post
ers are his stock in trade.
His fun is but momentary, but it is
potent while it lasts. He accomplishes
1t by means of the combinations he is
forced to make when he posts new bills
over the old ones. Some of the combina-
tions are very funny. Thus he is forced
to become mirth producer whether he
will or no, but there are some among
the men who get their livelihood in
this manner who Intentionally place the
new bills where they will produce the
oldest il but momentary effects.
The reporter watched one Of these
knights of the paste pot while he pro-
ceeded to cover mp rather flaming pic
ture of his satanic majesty with bill,
which portrayed naval officer in fual
uniform. The first section put on War
the officers head. As it fitted exactly
on to Mephisto's shoulders the effect
was tomical. The next section brought
the naval man down to the bottom of
his coat. From a short distance it ap-
peared precisely as though he was mi
nus his lether garments and stood bare
legged in tae rising flames which en-
veloped him to his knees. The billposter
chuckled as no surveyed his work at
this point and asked the reporter what
he thought Of it while he covered tho
officers nakedness with a pair Of trou-
sers and shoes.
The billposter was quito talkative in
his way and spoke Of tho droll side Of
his business. Ibid it never occur &c
you," said -he as he picked and sorted
some flaming colored bills preparatory
to FASTING them on the fence, did il
never occur to you what an ot.d and
amusing business this is? You saw me
put a uniform 81 the devil. Funny,
wasn't it? Well, 1t wasn't patch to
the effects produced sometimes. These
bills have to be changed nearly every
week, and the posters get exsd up ir
tho qucerest way. I've put angels heads
Oh devils and DEVILS heads Oh :.nSe,s.
I've put man with dress coa5 IN
where a ballet girl was, SO that it look

for moment while I pasted other bills,
and quite crowd gathered around. A
policeman came along, and I had to COW

SOUSA'S DISCIPLINE.

General Soho fields Funny Break as to
tho Conduct of an Orchestra.
How Conductor Sousa was taken to
task by General Schofeld for his lack Of
discipline is told by the San Francisco
Chronicle.
The last echo Of one Of Sousa's over
lures was just dying away over the sand
hills south Of the fair grounds when
General Sohofield stepped in front Of
the band and saluted the distinguished
leader. Sousa returned the salute and
sent ono of his men to escort the general
up into the band stand.
"That music was beautiful-beauti-
full, exclaimed the general as he shook
Sousa's hand warmly. 81 am astonish-
ed, sir, that you get such results with
so little discipline.
There is nothing that Sousa prides
himself more On than being one of the
strictest Of disciplinarians, and he was
naturally nettled at the generals criti-
cism.
"Why, general. my men are under
perfect control. I'm sure they arc thor
oughly drilled, and can hardly believe
that there is any lack Of discipline
have never noticed it.
"No, that's just it; you don 500 it, y
persisted the general. II SEW it, though.
Do you know that as soon as you turn
your back on one side Of your band tc
shake your baton at the other those fel
lows all quit playing? OF course ycy
don't see it, for as soon as you tErr
around they begin again.
Tho fun in this, at the expense Of the
general, lies. OF course, III tho Fact tha'
when section CT Soasa's men became
silent ..as ho turned to tho other wa
when tho music so required Brt the
general looked upon this lapse as Ii
would upon tho suspension OF e section
Of his artillery when he turned his at
tention to another part OF the field.

TO PROWL, MY CAT.

You are life's true philosopher,
An epicure of air and sun,
An egoist in sable fur,
To whom all moralists are one.
You hold your race traditions fest.
While others toll you simply live,
And, based upon stable past,
Remain q sound conservative
You see tho beauty Of the world
Through eyes Of unalloyed content
And, In my study chair upcurled,
Move me to pensive wonderment.
Iwish knew your trick Of thought,
The perfect balance Of your ways.
They seem an inspiration caught
From other laws in older days.
Your padded footsteps prowl my room
Half in delight and half disdain.
You like this air Of studious gloom
When streets without are cold With
rain.
Some day, alasi you'll come to die,
And shall lose constant friend.
You'll take your last look at the sky
And be puzzle to the end.
