the American people are now thorough

aud smoothly and comfortably prepare

legislation as the times require, In a
word, Gov. Johnson is precisely the
kind of Il leader the nation requires at
this time, ready for new legislation to
meet new needs, but careful and con-
>ervatfve in his methods. The same
confidence-inspiring, vote-getting at
tributes that have made Gov. John

JOKE ON PROFESSOR
UNWITTING VICTIM OF HIS OWN
ADVICE.
Pupil Faithfully Followed Instructions
and the Result Was Broken Rest
for the Unfortunate Music
Teacher.

The late Prof Julius Eichberg.
whose violin school was at one time
one OF the most flourishing institu.
lions OF Boston, enjoyed telling the
following joke which was innocently
played on him by a pupil:
Just before the vacation season he
once inquired Of a boy how much he
intended to practice on his violin dur
ing the summer.
oh, not very much," replied the
youngster.
Not very much! How is that?'
because l want to play and enjoy
myself. There are many other boys
where we 60 summers"
That's very WELL" answered Eich.

hour day to your violin?"
NO, sir" was the prompt reply.
Half an hour?"
No, not even that. have no time"
1T is too bad, for you will forget
everything YOU have learned"
Elchberg stopped a minute to think
and then said:
what time do you rise mornings
when on your vacaticn?"
Very early, sir-between five and
six"
We'll. that's the best time. Put In
half an hours practice every morning
before you go down to breakfast
The boy promised faithfully to dc
so, and teacher and pupil parted on
The best of terms. ..
few weeks later, Eichberg was
peacefully slumbering in one Of the
cool rooms OF fashionable summer
hotel, which he and his family reached
the night before, when he was most
nopportunely awakened by the furi.
ou~ screening of a violin just over

o'clock. .......s .:

then suddenly ceased. &c..
BY that time, however, he had

downstairs, was about to enter this

with the usual early risers, when he
WAS joyously greeted by q boy with
familiar face, who said proudly: ,....
Il follow your advice, professor, and
have not missed one morning. Have

Immediately after breakfast he
