Wanted to Hear the Music.

In the town OF Douglas. Mass, sew
eral years ago, an eccentric French
man kept a saloon. He was especial
ly fond of music, although nothing
else ever interrupted his studies of
how to be meaner than any Of his fel-
low.men.
One summer night the village band
was giving a free concert near the sa.
loon, and those who came to hear the
music included many thirsty ones who
cared more for the sociability of the
saloon than for the music outside.
The saloon was filed, and all were
talking at once, and in high-pitched
voices, when the heavier voice of
the saloon keeper called sudden
halt as he bawled: "Youse fellar
