NIasczgni's Pupil.

A good story is told of Mascagni, the com
poser During the latter's recent visit TO
London, while in his room at hotel, he
heard an organ-grinder play the iDIermezzo
from ''Cavalleria Rusticana." The man,
playing the piece entirely too fast, exas-
perated Mascagni and, descending into the
street, the composer addressed the organ
list, saying:
''You play this entirely too fast. Let me
show yoa how il ought to be played"
And who are you?' asked the wandering
minstrel.
Il happen to be the composer OF that
piece" replied Mascagni, and then he
played the intermeZZo for the astonished
organ grinder in the correct tempo.
Imagine Mascagni's surprise when ON the
following dayhesaw theSame organ grinder
in front of his house with a pl3card on the
organ on which was Inscribed III large
letters, Pupil of Mascagni. Exchange.

John James Mage, a quiet, middle
aged man, has had a career as romantic
as that of Monte Cristo- Mago is now a
Guatemalan millionaire, who lives nine
months Of the year in Paris Twenty
years ago he was poor English collector
of insects in Guatemala, and also acted
as the British vice consul at San Jose
One Gay COumandalJs Genzalez or
dered Mago to appear before him. Mago
sent word that he would come in a short
time. This ineensed the commandanfe,
and he sent a file of soldiers after MaSo,
and when the insect collector appeared,
ordered seYenty-five Iashes to be laid
thoroughly, and when it was finished,
Gonzalez shouted:
Give him twenty-five more for luck"
When Mago recovered, which was only
after careful nursing, as his back was
badly cut up, he made a formal COM
plant to the British Government. The
result was that Guatemala was ordered
to punish Gonzalez, and TO pay Mago $500

default of this English cruisers would

Guatemala readily punished Gonzalez,
but tried hard to evade paying S5O, 900 to
Mago- The British, however, We're mex
orable, and the poor collector was made
a comparatively rich man in one day.
AS he had more coin than any one in the
country at that time, President Barrios
went into partnership with him.
Mago became one OF the heaviest coffee
planters, and also secured the contract
for building docks in the ports No one
can land or leave one of these docks with

levies tax on all freight. He also owns
valuable mines and tracts OF timber. His
fortune is estimated at a1 900 900, all
