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

ROsamond Johnson, of Cole & John

song, Under the Bamboo Tree" once
held position as bellboy in Youngs
hotel in Boston. This place, says Sue

through taking the liberty of playing
Paderewski'S ''Minuet" for the srrat
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 1t. 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
