PADEREWskI's BELLsoY.
Musical Youth Made . Hit with the
Great Pianist by Playing
His "lrinuet."

Rosamond JOHNSON, of Cole & john
son. composers OF that once popular
song, Under the Bamboo Tree" once
held a position as bellboy in Young's
hotel in Boston. This place, says Sue
cess Magazine, he once nearly lost,
through taking the liberty Of playing
Paderewski's 'Minuet" for the great
pianist. Paderewski, who was stay
ing at that hotel, had rung for bell
boy, and young Johnson answered the
call.
Being SO fond of music, he made
bold to ask the great composer and
pianist to play the 'Minuet" for him.
Paderewski could not understand Eng
lish then, and the boy thought from
his gesticulations that he wished him
to play It. So he sat down at the
plano and commenced playing. Pad
erewski's manager happened to enter
the room just then, and, enraged at
the bellboy's presumption, threw him
out Of the room and went directly to
the management and had him dis
charged.
AS soon as he learned what had
been done. Paderewski, who had been
pleased with the lads playing, sent
for the manager Of the hotel and had
johnson reinstated In his position.

Mr. Park was then. as now. vege-

erything connected with his answer to
the call OF duty from the stand Of pa
triotism, he could not assimilate the
army pork. II was plain that II the
government wished to do the square
thing by Park it would have to show
observation-disclosures in the matter OF

So he took his troubles to President
Lincoln, and explained that in some
respects he was like the children OF
Israel after they set out from Egypt.
He could not forget the leeks and
onions with which he was wont to re-
gale himself back in Indiana county.
Lincoln smiled. You want me to
turn you out to Craze like Nebuchad-
nezzar?" he asked.
"It would beat salt pork" was Mr..
Parks reply. Thereupon Mr.. Lincoln
wrote carelessly on an ordinary sheet
Of paper:
"The bearer, Linton Park. is here
with granted permission to browse

Mr.. Park saw the humor in the note,
and enjoyed it quite as much as Lin
coin did. He also enjoyed his privi-
lege of browsing" The note is still
