A Music Box That Knew What Air
to Play.


am fond of music, and, as do not play
aud have no little ones about the house,
bought one of the finest music boxes that
| could find. 1t was large box and had
nearly score of melodies, from the sacred
to the catchy negro airs, stored up within its
reeesses. There were bells and cymbals,
too, and a tiny drum. 1t was a swell music
box and no mistake. Well, one day l lost
my position and was in absolute need of
ready money. My prospects were excellent,
and did not want to injure them by Dor
rowing from friends, on whom, however,
knew l could depend. To tide me over my
difficulty | determined to pawn my music
box ut cost me upward of $l00-imported
you know, and | readily secured $25. Well,
things did not pan out exactly as | expected
things seldom go just as they are scheduled
to go-and it was year almost before
found myself in a position to redeem the
music box from the pawn shop. | took the
ticket, went to the shop and told the man
in charge that / wanted to redeem my in
strument, and asked whether it had been
kept in order and had not been injured. He
assured me that it had not been tempered
with, and, in proof thereof, he offered to
let me wind it up and make it play before
paid back the money had secured by its
pledge. l accepted, and, after winding
the box up, it started to play. Now, what
do you think that darned old, long-forgot-
ten musical instrument played?"
As he looked around the crowd no one
could suggest the name of the air, and he
said; Darn my buttons, if it did not start

deemer Liveth.' Almost human knowledge

"She might have gotten here a little

speech with indifference. She stood in

RAINY REMINDER,
Characteristic Bit of could" Irelan d
in America,

A Cleveland landlord has one of his
houses tenanted by family that is out of all
proportions to the size of the dwelling. In
fact, he strongly suspects that there are at
least two distinct families in the house, and
he is quite anxious to get rid of them He
doesn't want to turn them out, and he has
been hoping they would take the frequent
hints he gives them and seek some other To-
cation. Lately they have complained of a
leaky roof, but the landlord has determined
to make no repairs until they leave.
A few days ago the head of the household
waited on him.

leakin' agin."

"Iis, sor. 1t leaks right over ms sisters
