The First Tall Man Couldn't See .he
Joke and Left.

A tall thin man. dressed in q light
gray suit. entered the hotel restau.
rant and took an unoccupied chair at
table near the door. He hardly had
gotten seated comfortably before an
other man. even taller and thinner
than the first one. entered and took
a seat at the same table. And. to
make the situation more remarkable.
the taller man wore gray suit OF ex.
actly the same shade and cut as the
other.
The shorter man never raised his
eyes from the bill OF fare, and seemed
quite oblivious of his companions
presence. The latter looked curiously
at the first conner for few moments.
and then. with an apparent desire to
be sociable, said:
This must be the thin mans table"
The shorter man Strengthened up
with a jerk. gave the very tall man a
look OF the greatest indignation, and
exclaimed in burst of anger:
We'll, you may have IT,"
With that he hastily rose and took
seat at the furtherst end OF the
room. The very tall man winked at
the waiter. and the incident was

ROMANCE OF GREAT SINGER.
Frsm the Railway Platform to the
Opera House.

NJ. Jean Note, the famous barytone

low workmen. He left the factory to
become a railway porter at the Tour.

him, and subscribed a purse to send
him to the Conservatoire Of Music ct

two years at the Antwerp theater, and
for three years at Lyons, after which
he went straight to the Paris opera,
which he has never left since.
While an opera singer in Paris NJ

an act OF daring and cool-headedness
which saved an express train from
total wreck. On September 81, 1897.
NJ Note was standing on the platform

The ststlOnmaster and porters lost
their heads. Note, recollecting that
he had been a signalman, lost not
