A Concert ON tho Grand Banks.

With his eyes fixed on the beams above,
Disko began this ancient ditty, Tom Plat!
Furnishing all round him to make tine
tune and words fit little:
"There is crack packet-crack packet o. fame
She halls from Moo York, and the Dread
nought's her name.
You may talk O. your UNCONSTITUTIONAL and
Blackball-
But the Dreadnought's the packet that can
beat them all.
"Now tho Dreadnought she lies in the river
Mersey
Because Of the tugboat to take her to sea,
But when She's off soundings you shortly will
know
She's the Liverpool packet. OLord, let her goi
"Now the Dreadnought she's howlin crost
the banks O. Newfoundland,
Where the water all shallow and the bottom g
all sand.
SEE all the little fishes that swim to and fro:
She's the Liverpool packet. o Lord, let her
goi'"
There were scores of verses, for he work
ed the Dreadnought every mile Of the
way between Liverpool and New York as
conscientiously as though he were on her
deck, and the accordion pumped and the
fiddle squeaked beside him. Tom Platt
followed with something about the rough
and tough McGinn, who would pilot the
vessel in. "-Rudyard Kipling's Captain

A NATURAL MISTAKE.
Drummer Mistook the Young Woman For
a Commercial Traveller,

a Commercial Traveller.
Not long ago New York young won.
an visited several towns in tho western
part of the state, her mission being to or
ganize branches of an educational work.
She carried with her dress suit case in
which was the gown she wore when she
appeared before an audience. AT one little
byplace Of Il town she staid overnight at
the hotel because none of the evening
trains stopped at so insignificant q station.
The next morning she paid her bill,
picked up her dress suit case and climbed
into the reeling omnibus, which took hel
and an unmistskable commercial traveller
to the train The commercial traveller eyed
her with o persistent interest which the
young woman inwardly resented, though
she gave no o1tward sign, but when he
took the scat behind her in the car she be.
gan to fear active attentions. They came
sooner than she had expected, however,
and in form which quite took away hel
breath. The commercial traveller leaned
forward, touched the dress suit case and
said genially:
Do l recognize fellow knight of the
grip?'" The young woman stared. The
travelling man looked bit nonplused,
but pursued:
May ask what IS your liner"
Still the young woman stared at him,
moro in wonder than in anger. As she did
not find her voice the man made anothe,
attempt.
81 hope I do not offend you,'' he said
courteously. "There is a certain freema.
sorry between us all, and I counted on
your feeling as other women drummers do.

cordiality between us, simply as business

men who travel. hope-you really must

The young woman said twas of no con.
