JOKE ON PROFESSOR

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 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 I want to play and enjoy
myself There are many other bows
where we go 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

Eichberg stopped a minute to think
and then said:
What time do you rise mornings
"hSh Oh yOuT NdCdIlCQ
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.
A few weeks later, Eichberg was
peacefully slumbering in one of the
cool rooms Of a fashionable summer
hotel, which he and his family reached
the night before, when he was most
tnopportunely awakened by the furt.

as he looked at his watch, and was

O'Clock.

habit, was altogether out of the ques.
