The Wasp and the Drummer.

A wasp went buzzing to his work.
And various things did tackle;
He stung a boy and then a dog,
Then made a rooster cackle:
At last upon drummer's cheek
He settled down to drill:
He prodded there for half an hour.
And then-he broke his bill.

GRANGER WAS NOT STOLEN.
He Was Simply Sick at the Home of
a Widow.

|
The missing mail carrier, Martin S..
| Granger, was discovered in this city
yesterday morning. Mrs. Granger called
| at the poStoff1ce and informed Capt
| Castle that her husband, as she had
| just learned, went to a party Monday
| night, instead of to Excelsior lodge
The party wassa gay one. Mr.. Granger
was as gay as the party. When the
entertainment ended Mr.. Changers
aroused joyousness would not be
Gained. He felt unable to suddenly at
tune himself to the routine delights of
established domesticity. Only in the
Semi-isolation of guest in q strange
house could he succeed in calming his
awakened vivacity. Such a friend, Mrs.
Granger says, Mr.. Granger found on
Arkwright street, a widow as anna Bile
as widows ever are, and sufficiently
kind-hearted to accept a temporary
guest. At the residence of the bereaved
matron Mr.. Granger is said to have re-
manned until yesterday morning, when.
feeling himself once more in harmony
With the Workaday world, he consented
to return home. But he seemed to his
wife to have been drugged. He had
lost, not alone his wonted expression.
but his monthly salary. The former
loss was inexplicable, but the latter was
readily made clar. Mr.. Changers party
mad been as expensive as it was CAV.
meantime the authorities at Washing
ton are debating whether they will
again entrust to Mr.. Granger his yellow
mail bag, with its pretty nickel buckles,
and his open sesame to the red boxes
on the lamp posts
When reporter called last evening
to secure instructive details as to Mr..
Granger's weird experience Mrs.
Granger said her that her husband
was still confined to his bed, and was
unable to recall exactly what had hap
pcned. Whatever it was, however. it
had left it's impress, for Mr.. Granger
was still as pale and languid as when
he was rescuedgby his family yesterday
morning.
You see," explained Mrs Granger,
my husband did go to Excelsior lodge
Monday evening SO he says, anyway
but he didn't find it very lively, and
so he went torthe party at Mrs Til
bury's, on Arkwright street. I think
the party was at her house. 1t was

SUPERFLUOUs WORDS.
Musical Courier, n. V, Dec. 8. 1

MUSICAL Courier, N. ", Dec. 5, 1894
There are many successful piano
houses in Chicago. 1t is not necessary
that they should have made $4,000. 900
to be classed among the prosperous
ones. Some of the smaller houses,
ike j. o. Twitchell or John Bryant,
must also be classed among the sue
cessful dealers. No one could have
been so long intimately connected with
the piano business of this city as the
writer without becoming somewhat in
timately acquainted with the amount
of business the different houses do.
There is one house in this city that
1t almost seems absurd to saw is a
phenomenon, and it is almost super-
fuous to claim that this house is MAX
ing more pianos (and is not making
them without selling them than any
other house on the face of the. globe.
Sometime we may be able to give
figures, and when that time comes we
predict that the trade, with all it's ex-
pectations, will be surprised at the
number of instruments made and sold
and the amount of business done by
the house to which we refer
1t is not only the amount Of business that
is startling, it is the tremendous prestige
which the concern has secured for it's manu-
featured goods, particularly the pianos, in the
last few years. 1t is also astonishing to real
lie what advances have been made by this
house in the case work, the finish, and the ar
tistic excellence of its instruments.
1t is point to be remembered, and 1t will
be remembered as long as pianos are made
that this house was the first in the West to
manufacture concert grand pianos. There is
talking, this house is wonder and it
is our prediction that in the future it will be-
come a still greater wonder to the trade in
this and every other country. Of course we
refer to the w. w. Kimball company.

manly motive that suggests the
