SAW JOKE TOO LATE.

The old German band is again in our
midst and is endeavoring TO coax our
spare change away with their
'moosic." Yesterday the bunch was
playing on Twentieth street, and after
"Harrigan" and MY Irish Rosy" had
been put to sleep, the members of the
band as is their custom, started to en-
rich themselves at the expense of the
business men along the street. One
of the latter who runs barber shop
had several patrons in his place, and
just for fun they hooked the screen
door and were busy looking at the
rear end of the shop when the collec-
tor of the band came aknocking at
the door. This made the man little
hot under the collar. and he proceeded
to kick his way in through the screen
door. After the proprietor had col
Iected for the damages. the German
was sufficiently cooled to see that he
was the victim of joke.

to the conclusion that someone in tn ;

going back he stormed around for 10
minutes, swore at the porter and told
the proprietor he would never enter
the shop again unless his hat was re-
stored. Finally, when he had gotten
out of breath, he went on his way No
sooner was he out of the place, how.

the hat and remembered that they
were those of another exposition Off

The resolutions asserted that the

asked carefully 10 discriminate in the
