PADEREWSN'S BELLBoY.
Musical Youth Made a Hit with the
Great Pianist by Playing
His "Minuet."

Rosamond Johnson, of Cole G. John
son, composers of that once popular
song, Under the Bamboo Tree" once
held 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 a 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
fish then, and the boy thought from
his gesticulations that he wished him
to play it. So he sat down at the
piano 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 nosition.

THEN He FELT STREAKED.
Hubby Was Too obliging When
There Wasn't Any Occa-
sion for It.

A gentleman and his wife were sit
ting in one of the front rows in a the
alter. On the floor the man saw large
hat-pin with an amber head. The Chi
cago Daily News tells what he did
with it.
Looking about him, he saw that
two women and their escorts had just
sat down. To one OF the women he
presented the pin. A shake of the head
indicated that he had made a mistake
Then he tried two ladies across the
aisle. They seemed to be interested.
The pin was curiosity, and its amber
of unique carving. They hesitated
but handed the pin back.
Desperately, he began the search
anew. Two ladies unattended seemed
likely owners To them also he
showed the pin. They took it and en-
joyed its pattern.
Just then the man felt tug on his
sleeve. 1t was his wife, and she re-
marked, why are you showing my
hat-pin to strangers?"
Blushing, he went over to the la
dies, who were still looking at the pin,
and explained.
''It's my wife's PIN" he said, but in
such consciously guilty accents that
the women handed it back with doubt
ing smiles.

Coffee knitted an Old Soldier.

An old soldier, released from cof-
fee at 70, recovered his health and tells
about it as follows:
Il stuck to coffee for years, although
it knitted me again and again.
About eight years ago (as result
of coffee drinking which congested my
liver), l was taken with a very severe
attack of malarial fever.
Il would apparently recover and
start about my usual work only to SUI

repeated several times during the year

"The Doctor said he had carefully
