When Major Crofoot reached his
Office the other morning, he found his
tailor at the door. The tailor had beer
there for an hour. He had bill in
his hand, and he was determined to
present it in person. The major look .
ed a bit startled at sight of the creditor
he had been lodging for seven months,
but in a breath he pulled himself to-
gether, extended his hand and heartily
exclaimed:

coincidence indeed. Talk of mental

"But I have mailed it to you about

Yes, you are here. and am sorry

probability is that in the last day OF

artists discuss the comparative merits

throbbing viols, the wind instruments,

rolled up their grandest hosannas, then
the voices of whole choirs of men-sinSers
