The Butcher or the Donkey2


There is a well-known butcher in
Manhattan who has a basso-profundo
voice. 1t fell under the notice of q
theatrical manager. noted for his
finds" who persuaded the butcher to
desert his cleaver and devote himself
to the training of his voice. This was
only two weeks ago. A week ago
some of the neighbors of the butcher
complained to the board Of health
that some one in their immediate
neighborhood was keeping a jackass
in his back yard, which kept up a
loud braying, to the annoyance of the
neighb bors, especially very early in the
morning. Investigation revealed the
fact that it was the butcher practic-
ing the scales. The hours Of prac-
tice have been changed to the day
time, and now the neighbors who com
planned, having learned that the
butcher is in training for the opera,
hang from the windows with ravished
ears, to listen to the sounds which
but a week ego they actually thought
were the deliveries Of a donkey. The
musical butcher is still doubtful
whether he ought to feel compliment
ed that his musical gifts have at
tracted so much attention or angry
because for time it was thought he
was "hee-hawing."
