Reason For Waiting.

A certain young woman, although
she is a trained stenographer. type
writer and bookkeeper, had very bad
luck in trying to obtain position at
even a fair salary. Though there was
no joke in the continual disappoint-
ments. she found a funny side to one
experience. The manager of place
whose advertisement she answered told
her that the salary paid at first would
be SIS week. that by the end Of the
year it would be increased to 50, while
by the third year she would receive
the magnificent sum Of $40. Mechan-
ically she agreed to let him know and
went out Apparently she had made a
good impression, for when a couple of
days had gone by she received a note
asking whether she wanted the posi-
ton or not. She sat down and wrote:
Dear Sir-Of course i intended to
accept the position. l am simply wait
ing for the two years to pass, so that
I can begin at $40 per. Yours truly

At his home In Genoa, one evening In
1890, Verdi sat down to his piano and
played some of the music from the
score of "Cavalleria Rusticana." Boito
and Tebaldini were present at the time.
When the grand old man" of music
came to the end of the duet be-
tween Alfredo and Santuzza he cried
out, Enough of this sort of thing"
and rose from the piano. Quite Il long
time afterward Mascagni heard the Sc
quel to the incident. On the morning
after it occurred Teba ldini met Verdi
and remarked that the latter looked
tired. Verdi explained that be had sat
up to g very late hour Of the night.
After you left" he went on. IL, went
back to the piano and once more, tried
over 'Cavalleria.' and it gradually CON
quered my prejudice and made great
impression on me. There is so much
sincerity in its melodies that. in spite
of myself. l could not help going on
with it. and now must admit that the
work pleases me vastly" And he add
