She Bought the Music.
A young woman on the West side OF
town, who aspires to be shining light
or lightess (Which ever may be proper)
in the musical world, was recently abso.
lutely forced to buy piece of music from
travelling salesman. The Wanderer is
informed that the young women tries to
keep up with the efforts of the musicians
and when new song or instrumental
piece appears before the public by an
eminent author she ia among the first in
the city to purchase it.
On the day in question there was ring
at the fro"t door bell. Being in the front
of the house, the young woman answered
the ring, and found we'll dressed young
man at the door, who held in his hand q
sheet of piano music.
The fellow was polite beyond ques-
ton and stated that he was introducing
q new and fine production in the form Of
march, and Of which he spoke as fol-
lows:
"Ah,good afternoon, Miss. Hearing
OF your talent as musician | took the
liberty of calling on you, to try and Sc.
cure your services in introducing this
fine creation of this popular composer,
and, Miss it is the work of a master hand
who has the power of rendering music,
so as to make it the vehicle of deep and
pure emotion; the spirit of music, as op-

effort to carry out the highest extent, the
fullest meaning Of the composer. Hence
you see, Miss, the difficulty of giving

This rapid flow OF language, pertaining
to q piece of music, completely hypnotic
ed the fair musician, and not until half
hour after the click rascal had departed
with her money did she realize that she
had been vctimized. She realized it
more fully, however. when she found by
reading the advertisement, on the back
that six copies OF the famous march
could be secured for 25 cents.
Those Morocco shoes.
A good story is told at the expense of
resident of the West Side. The Wan.
derer, for reasons best known to himself,
will not divulge the name OF the man.
He had been in need of q new pair OF
shoes, and had declared his intention of
purchasing the needed footwear on two
or three occasions, and had obtained
money from his wife for the purpose, but
always returned with nicely arranged
tale OF meeting man to whom he was
indebted, and having settled his accounts
was unable to buy his shoes. The mans
footwear was in deplorable condition,
and he determined to quit all fooing and
get the shoes, and again secured enough
money from his wife to make the pnr-
chase.
Going down town he was busily en-
gagged, and was SO pushed for time that

in a hand-me. down store. The shoes
appeared good and strong. Inquiring
