A MATTER OF ACCENT

AT trial between two London music pub
fishers before the Court Of King Bench
in 1913, the matter in dispute being viola
ton of the copyright in the song of "The
Old English Gentleman" Thomas Cooke, a
composer Of some note in his day, was sub
ponaed as an expert witness.
On cross examination Sir James Scarlett
questioned him as follows: "Now, Sir! You
say that the two melodies are the same, but
different. What do you mean by that?'
Tom promptly answered, Il said that the
notes in the two copies were alike, but with
different accent, the one being in common
time, the other in six-eight time, and con-
sequently the position of the accented notes
was different"
"Now, pray, Sir, don't beat about the
bush, but explain to the jury, who are sup
posed to know nothing about music, the
meaning of what you call accent"
Certainly" said Cooke. accent in
music is the stress laid upon particular
note, in the same manner as you would lay
stress upon a word, for the purpose of being
understood. Thus, if l were to say, You
are an ass it rests on ass; but if | were to
say, You are an ass it rests on you, Sir

lowed this repartee. Silence at length hav-
ing been obtained, the Judge with much
seeming gravity inquired:
@Are you satisfied, Sir James?"
Sir James (who had become scarlet in
more than namel in a great huff replied,
"The witness may go down."
A CLOSE analogue to this story is re-
- corded by the Rev. h. Arvine in his
Dictionary Of Anecdotes:
clergyman, on reading the thirteenth
verse of the thirteenth chapter of First
Kings, placed the emphasis on the words
denoted by italics, rendering the verse an
absurdty: "And he said unto his sons,
Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him. :
TT was merely misplaced accent that in
duced two Irishmen to leave an Episcopal
Church which they had entered for the first
time. While waiting for the service to be-
gin, one of them picked up prayer book,
and after examining it for short time he
turned to his friend.
@Come Pat, let's slide out of this while we
can. This is no place for anyone but the
rich. After every third prayer it says Col
lect."
THE point of the following joke depends
entirely upon the emphasis that its
heroine placed on single word:
Il have a great mind to go to the club
tonight said Jones to his wife
@What?' she replied with apparent sur
prise.
Il have great mind to 60 to the club
tonight
"Whose?" she asked.
"Whose WHAT"
"Whose great nind?"
@Why, my own, of course
@Oh!' And the rising infection she gave
the ejaculation was quite provoking to a
man of fine feelings.
THACKERAY was once at loggerheads
with fellow bohemian of the press, the
now-forgotten Angus B. Reach. Reach was
touchy about the pronunciation of his name,
claiming that it was properly Re-ack. with
only two syllables, and the accent on the
last.
To Thackeray's discomfort he found him
self at dinner one evening with Reach. In
the course of the meal the novelist had to
ask:
"Mr Reach, shall l send you some NUT
tono"
"Mr. Thackeray," returned the other, Il

At IL O'Clock turned out and
doubled my moorings and at midnight
got out my new hundred foot line and
literally tied the Peep O. Day and the
wharf together. There Yves no rain
vet, and the wind came in puffs from
various directions. There were squalls
building UP in all quarters and each
travelling a course of its own. I dozed
along until o'clock and had about
decided IT was a big bluff, when It
commenced to rain cats and dogs, with
all kinds OF winds. At about O'Clock
the character of the rain changed to
what is known technically as ''brick-
bats"
Our new side curtains were utterly
useless. Instead Of keeping out the
rain, they seemed TO act as a funnel
from the high heavens to our after
deck. Before we could move the chill
dren and bedding to the cabin every
thing was pretty wet. The cabin port
lights had been closed but not secured,
