PADEREWSKI'S BELLBOY,
Musical Youth Made a Hit with the
Great Pianist by Playing
His "Minuet."

Rosamond johnson, of Cole & 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
ress Magazine, he once nearly lost,
through taking the liberty of playing
Paderewski's "Minuet' for the rrat
pianist Paderewski, who was sta5-
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
!ish then, and the boy thought from
his sesticulatioas that he wished him
to play it. So he sat down at the
piano and commenced playing. Pad
erewskis manager happened to enter
the room just then. and, en"aged at
the bellboy's presumption, threw him
ont 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.

Who Were The Republicans ?

more ballots for Mr.. Nandiver for
treasurer by Republican members was

Mr.. Vandiver said be did not know
who the Republicans where who voted
for him. He maintained that he had
not asked a single Republican TO do
so. He assumed that the Republican
votes were cast for him purely because
Of personal friendship He says he IS

Republicans had had the least chance
to elect their candidate for treasurer.
A general impression is around,
however, to the effect that while Mr..

Republican for his vote, that he knows
full well who the treacherous ones
were Either he did ask them or have
them asked, with promises of places or
good committee assignments as "A re-
