A great bulk filled the passageway.
Da kommt er. With his clothes awry
and hair tousled, with wild eye, and
frantic wobbling of hands and feet,
the overburdened Reisenauer appeared.
His manner indicated very great and
injured but somewhat flustered dig
nifty.
Herr Reisenauer glareG about There
was no reception committee and no
rush to grasp his hand. He failed to
understand it. Jean de Chauvenet and
Natrop blumenfeld, good musicians
and true, saw the great man and
stepped up to help him. Taking his
swaying arms they escorted him to the
dressing room and relieved him of his
top coat and braced him on his un-
steady underpinning again. Then he
entered upon the platform and APP
preached the piano, accompanied by
De Chauvenet again.
Daringly facing the piano Reisenauer
stood and once more glared at the
audience. now fast reassembling. With
bow of wondrous dignity he ducked
his naughty head. But no one APP
plauded either entree or bow.
The Herr was surprised. Was ist
los? He wheeled about and faced the
instrument. His hands fell on the
keys.
"Thump- thump-t -thumpity-thump!"
A few discordant notes fitted from
the piano, and squawked mserably.
Audience Surprised
The Herr faced his hearers again.
and waited. A few ushers giggled. He
glared, and once more he put his fat
fingers on the keys and turned 'em
loose. They sprawled about like ten
pins in strike. The noise resembled
the yelps of a sick hyena,
The Reisenauer looked again at the
audience. The people were half
amused, half disgusted. So he was en-
couraged, as he saw the people stay
with him. So once more he essayed
tune This time his fingers We're all
at cross purposes His forefinger did
a contortion act. while his fourth
stuck up like tent pole on a foggy
night. and the second and third were
giving both the others the double
cross The ensuing sounds were ex-
cruciating. Els war schrecklich.
About half the audience arose at this
juncture and fled in despair. 1t was
too hideous for words.
Reisenauer arose on unsteady pins
and glared-oh, he was great on the
campaign!
81 am zee great Reisenau-au-au-
roar!" he shouted.
His manager, a gray-haired woman,
almost In tears. came forth. She in
formed the people that Herr Reisen-
auer was sick: that he could not play
"any more" and that he must go
home. She was sorry; the money
would be refunded and he, the great
est pianist after-a long way after
Paderewsk, must go home.
Exit Pianist
SO he did. Lifting his huge bulk
upon his shivering shanks. the mighty
towsled head thrown back, and look
ing the picture of Virginlus In disgust,
Herr Reisenauer made a frowsy bow
and wobbled into seclusion.
And the lights blinked as his huge
bulk passed from view and a kindly
door shut OF the plying gaze OF those
who remained.
CUTE nacht, Schlafe Wohl," was
the murmured farewell
l.. r.. Behymer, under whose auspices
Reisenauer came here, was in deep
distress over the actions OF his star
last night.
"I have brought many attractions
here said he. but this is the first
time that l have had TO apologize for
one Of them.
THE whole trouble was that Reis-
enauer met an old friend from Leipsic

FALSE NOSE FOR MONKEY,

August, one OF the monkeys at the
New York Geological Park, is to have
false nose soon. 1t is to be an ex-
pertinent which DR.. w. Reed Blair.
the veterinary surgeon, believes will
prove that a monkey can speak as
audfably and intelligently as the ordi-
nary mortal If only he has nose large
enough to sustain and throw off the
vibration.
For several months Dr. Blair and
some of his friends have been making
experiments to devise some means of
aiding the monkey to speak. Several
of the primates are said to have made
remarkable efforts. Four of them,
which now attract the most attention.
1t is said, understand every word.
spoken to them.
DR.. Blair finally decided that all that
was needed was larger nose. The
nose of the monkey is comparatively
small and narrow in the inside.
DR.. Blair has been convinced that
his theory is correct by a study of a
man who had his nose shot of. The
man could not speak without the an
pendage. All that came from him
was deep sound and half grunt.
The man found. however, that by us.
Ing his two foreflngers for a nose he
could speak clearly.
DR.. Blair argues that, il that ia nos.
stble in human being, the same
should be true of the monkey. This
week he will begin to construct
nasal appendage for August. and will
soon make the experiment. August
is the youngest OF the monkey family
at the park.

She Was Not Afraid.

Revolver shots in the north end of
town aroused a number of people about
Z o'clock this morning and quite a
few left breakfasts to get cold in their
haste to find out what was doing. A
brave little woman, who does not want
her name mentioned, perforated the
atmosphere with her husbands big
shooter to brighten a sassy hobo who
knocked at an unusually early hour
at her back door and demanded
breakfast. He did not in a supplicat-
ing manner beg for it, but demanded
the lady to hurry up about it. She
claims there is only one man on earth
who can order her to hurry up, and,
being good dutiful wife, when he
speaks she obeys, but not for an i'm
pudent hobo, so she ordered him of
the premises. He did not hurry to
suit her and the consequence was the
shots that made Mr. Hobo clear the
fence at one bound with a yell that
would do justice to the fiercest Com
anche ever born. The lady was very
modest about it this morning and

Appeals to Him in Vain.

When President Hadley of Yale was
professor of political science there q
student once offered him poor ex-
cuse for bad examination paper.
Professor Hadley listened to the ex-
cuse in silence. Then he said. with a
grim smile:
"That excuse is about as poor as
the one a criminal lawyer offered for
his client In case that had gone hard
with him.
Gentlemen Of the jury cried this
lawyer eloquently, remember that my
client is hard Of hearing, and that,
therefore, the voice Of conscience ap-
peals to him in vain!'"
