Everybody Play. the Guitar.

In Portugal men play upon the guitar
as naturally as Yankees whistle. The
peasants are universally given to the
instrument, chiefly as an accompani-
ment to the voice. In towns and vii
lagos the artisans are often expert
guitar players and walk in groups to
and from their work, enlivening the
journey with music and song. The car
penter who comes to your house to exc
cute small job brings his guitar with
his tools and the blacksmith is q far
better performer on the guitar than the
anvil.
When Portuguese day laborer or
workman has finished his long days
toll he does not HE him to wine shop
to squander the few cents he has
earned; he does not even lean against
a post and smoke, nor white Il stick
while swapping yarns with his fellows.
If he did not bring his guitar with him
he goes straight home and gets it, rests
and comforts himself with the music
while supper is being prepared. After
ward he spends the evening singing
doggerel songs to a strulnping accom-
paniment, tilted back in q chair against
his own house wall or on the doorstep

Sad Mistake of Machinery Drummer

country myself was as the representa-
five of an American machinery house.
There was good field for us III one OF

canitaI and have an interview with the
minister of agriculture, hoping 10 per-
shade him to recommend a reduction.

but was otherwise green as goufd,

piled in Spanish; If it doesn't suit you

Like many other public speakers, a

lures, and if any one happens to come
in late he has a habit Of stopping short
and watching the intruder to his seat
generally with the effect of making
him look very sheepish and discon-
certed.
Some time back, while lecturing in a
large town, he was interrupted by a
gentleman coming in late and making
a great noise with his creaking boots.
The speaker stopped and stared as
usual at the intruder, who seemed not
to be in the least conscious that all
eyes were upon him.
At length, getting out of patience,
the lecturer remarked, Jelly:

A Rhinoceros at Large.

A rhinoceros that can dance is not,
like a dancing bear, a familiar sight.
Naturally such a rhinoceros created
sensation when, while being unloaded
from a railroad car at Philadelphia, it
escaped into the street.
The beast was sent to the Geological
Garden and arrived in good health and
spirits. Twenty employees of the ex-
press company stood about to prevent
it's getting away, but when the animal
started they all fed down Seventeenth
street.
The rhinoceros went to Market street,
the men after it, thence to Sixteenth
and back to Hilbert. In the short jour
ney it passed probably a hundred peo-
pie, and put them all to fight. An Ital-
ian, grinding out merry tune ON his
organ, got shock that he will not soon
forget
The beast has been with a circus
and can dance and do cake walk. At
Sixteenth and Hilbert streets it heard
the sound of the music, and began to
dance.
The italian did not know what
brought the crowd, but he kept on turn
ing his crank until suddenly there was
a roar Of laughter, and he turned to
find the beast standing still, solemnly
looking at him. With terrific yell. he
dropped the crank and ran. The ami
NAL was caught and put back into the
cage with little difficulty.
