Missed His Vocation.

Reginald de Koven, the composer
tells Of grocer and a druggist who at.
tended a Wagner concert. AS the pro!
gram did not please them they began
talking on music in general and - on
Wagner in particular.
Another example Of the fact that
every man wants to do something
out of his line" said the druggist.
That's all right" assented the gro.
Ger. "Now, I'm grocer but I've all
ways wanted to be banker"
You'd probably fall" added the
druggist. Look at me. I'm success
as a druggist, yet I've always wanted
to write book. This man Wagner
tries his hand at music. Just listen
to it. And yet we all know he builds
good parlor rs!"-Success.
