PADEREWsN's sELLBoY.
Musical Youth Made q 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 Youngs
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
lish then, and the boy thought from
his gesticulations that he wished him
to play 1t. So he sat down at the
piano and commenced playing. Pad
erewskis 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.

MADE ONE LAST ATTEMPT.
Venerable Frenchman's Efforts Were
Finally Crowned with
Success.

A young northern woman once went
out to visit the famous old chapel and
cemetery of St. Roch, near New Or
leans The eccentric old Frenchman
in charge was delighted, says Every
body's Magazine, to show her about,
and when she came to one of the sta
lions" where hung a painting of the
Crucifixion, wishing to make sure OF
firm foundation for her appreciation
of the subject, he inquired:
Madame is an artist?"
NO" modestly replied madame, :
only student"
The old man was visibly disappoint-
ed, but taking new courage, he tried
again:
Madame has Travelled much. Per-
chance to Paris.
NO." replied the lady, with proper
regret, 81 have never been to Paris. !"
Increased disappointment, almost
reaching the point of disapproval, but
followed by another brave attempt at
establishing mutual interests and un-
derstanding:
Madame is a good Catholic?"
NO" sadly replied the unfortunate
woman, a trifle uncomfortable, al
though amused.
WELL" in desperation, this paint
ing is by great artist-a French art

FRENCH TOYS FOR BEACH.
Are More Elaborate Than Those
Made for the American
Youngsters.

The toys with which French chill
dren play on the bench include a va
ried assortment OF implements and
playthings to use in the sand at the
seashore.
First, there is sand screen, such as
builders use, but in miniature, and
which, with a brace at the back, can
be set up in like manner on the beach,
for screening the sand; and then there
Is little hand sieve or sitter which
can be used for the same purpose.
With these sets there is a pan to
carry sand in, and there are a shovel
and sand scoop to dig with, and
there is also little rake, and besides
all these there are little tin molds Oh
forms in the shape of fishes and shells
and capital letters of the alphabet;
and finally there goes with each set
as part of it, a skipping rope.
Certainly pretty elaborate outfits are
the little French sand sets for chill.

Coffee knitted an Old Soldier.

make the change. Postum was pro-

hard work, and for the past month
have been teaming, driving sixteen

for me- now like the Postum as wei
as did coffee.

work which was begun in 1884. 1t is
built in semicircle. 1t dates from the
time of Augustus Caesar and was Law
ishly decorated with marbles from
Greece, Africa and Asia The theater
was formed of huge steps of granite
above which were rows of private
boxes, one of which stands in its orig

city-Bred Children.

A London scientist says that life in
metropolis makes young children
sharp but not clever; that it often de-
stroys their chance of ever being
clever, for it hastens the development
of the brain unnatura1ly; it makes
them superficial, alert, but not OBJ
servant; excitable, but without one
spark of enthusiasm; they are apt to
grow blase, tickle, discontinued; they
see more things than the country-b bred
child, but not such interesting things;
and they do not properly see anything,
for they have neither the time nor ca
pacity to get at the root of all the be-
wildering objects that crowd them
selves into their little lives.
