Some Troubles of a Pianist.

Harold Bauer, the pianist. has had some curious experiences during his travels.
 While playing in Barcelona he was challenged to fight duel by an ex- cited member of the audience whom he had reproved for disturbing the re- cital by his noisy conduct On another occasion, in Italy, he had to be car ried through an underground tunnel to escape the attentions of frantic ad- mirers.
 One of his most extraordinary expe- riences was in Russia It was in a little town near Moscow, and in the middle of his performance the pianist was arrested by the police on the grounds that he was obtaining money under false pretenses. The police ac- ton was based on the grounds that Hungarian dance appeared on the pro- gram and that there were no dancers. They overlooked the terrible fact that MT. Bauer had played two marches without single soldier being present Cincinnati Tribune

The MiIiers,

"If you want to hear some guessing wide of the mark ask some one what he would think might be the third most common name in New York city," says the New York Sun. 'The probability is the correct answer will never be made unless some one has happened to alight on some such bit of information. The fact is that, ac- cording to the best available authori- ties the name Miller ranks third, Smith holding first place. and Brown second. It seems algyost incredible, but as matter of fact tho name Mill Ter stands we'll to the head of the list of names most frequently met with ill the four largest cities in the coun- try. It stands second in Philadelphia, third in New York city and fourth in Chicago, while the name Jones is way down in the list, holding the eleventh place in New York city and the thir- teenth in Boston, wits such names as Clark, Williams, White and other names never considered common pre- ceding it.''

Crafty Master Fox.

A fox was one day seen coming out of a pile of stones near the water side. He hid in the heather for awhile and then pushed out some thing on the water, which proved to be bunch of moss. The wind took it into the middle of the lake and blew it past some ducks sitting on the surface. Having watched his venture for perhaps ten minutes with appar- ent satisfaction and observed that it neared the ducks without arousing their suspicious, our friend began to collect another and larger bunch of moss, which he allowed to float in the same direction, but this time he swan behind it, taking care to show only his eyes and nose above water. Just as 1t was passing the group of ducks he made sudden dive. pulled down a bird and swan bao5k to shore under water. Arrived there. he carried the duck to the pile of heather, where his wife and daughter were no doubt waiting to enjoy the fruits of his la- bors.-"Forty five Years of Sport''
