NJ Ernest Blum told joke which
he and some friends played on Often
bach when Ia Belle Helene" was
about to be produced. The composer
was most anxious that his ans should
not get about before the first night and
had asked all his company to be most
careful not to let any one hear them,
but his tunes were so catchy that it
was impossible to help singing them.
One day Blum and his friends were
sitting opposite Offenbach in cafe
when one of them began to hum a lead
ing air of La Belle Helene"
"Who taught you that?" cried Often.
bach in rage.
mo one replied Blum. 81 have
known 1t for ages" and they all agreed
that their nurses used to sing it to
them when they We're children. Pres
emily Albert Wolff, who was one of the
party, began to sing another Of the
airs.
"Whatv' cried Offenbach, you know
that too?'
II composed 1t myself" said Wolff.
Offenbach then saw that they were
playing practical joke on him and de
manded the name of the singer who
had sung them the opera. They re-
fused, and so the composer threatened
that he would fine every one in the
theater unless they told him. SO Blum
and his friends stood up and began
the first chorus of the first act and de
clared they would sing the finale before
the whole cafe unless Offenbach re
Tented. The composer, in terror fol
his music, gave in, beaten by his owl
facility in writing music.

Gus carpenter Luther Ladd began
building toy mills and similar structures
as early as boys begin to seek play

wood working in earnest. In fact he

Island Pond in 1851, and with his father
commenced building house Ca two tene-

living in the Brown house, and on com
pleton of the new one father and son
moved into it. Luther and wife went
to Norton Mills about 1866; and soon
after there being great demand for
skilled worlmen they sold out and went
to st. Johnsbury, he to work for Z. & I

they came back to Island Pond, where
they lived till he died, except, that i'll

spent the winter of lS99-00 in Lowell
In February last while at that place he
was taken seriously i'll, and his onl,
anxiety was to return to Island Pond
On reaching here he continued to de

The chest notes are given in full,

The tones may be either open or closed.
They are given from the chest and the

Head tones come from the bridge of
