HAD THE BANDMASTER GOING
quest Was Not Couched in Plain
Enough Language.

Mr.. Melvil Dewey, state librarian
Of New York, said recently that libra
ries would do well to furnish free mu-
sic rolls for player-pianos, just as
they now furnish books.

Then, apropos of music and igno-
rance, DR.. Dewey told story.
"a certain governor" he said, was
being lunched at seaside town. Dur
ing the repast the local band played
on the beach outside the hotel. The
drum was in charge of blacksmith
and he beat it so resonantly that at
last this message was sent out:
1.-The governor requests the drum
mer to desist.'
1.-THE bandmaster was puzzled by
this message for moment; then his
face frightened in a smile. and he

WHY COWS STOOD IN WATER
Artistic Limitations Responsible for
Characteristic Attitude of the
Humble Bovine.

In a north of England town there
was a shiftless man who would never
accept gifts outright, although he was
always depending on charity, says Al
Priddy in his book, Through the
MILL" relates the Youths Companion
He painted landscapes, and my aunt,
when benevolently inclined, would
hire him to decorate our walls with
rural scenes, highly colored in glazing
tints, as if nature had turned color
blind. There were COWS in every
scene, and Aunt Mile noticed that all
the COWS we're up to their knees in
water. Not one stood on the vivid
green hills.
"Jorvey," she remarked to the old
man, why dc you always put the cows
in the water?"
It's this way, Mrs Brindin," the old
artist responded. You see, ma'am,
never learned TO paint hoofs."

The feeling of many men with re-

as that which a certain distinguished
Frenchman had toward the academy
that group of forty who are called
the immortals." He was asked one
day why he did not propose his can
didacy for the academy.
