He Hired a Hall.

A Chicago musician of foreign extraction
thinks he has been treated with base in
gratitude by his friends, who recently urged
him to engage hall and give recital,
which brought out an audience barely large
enough to pay the janitor's fees and left
him considerably in debt.
He graphically expresses the situation by
saying:
s'Dey all shall say to me, wy you not
play big consairt?' So finally then 1 think
it will bring much money. I go ahet. 1t
comes the consairt, and who goes not was
my friend. Chicago Times Herald.
