HE WANTED A JOB.
The Red Bearded Sailor Who Insisted
That He Could Sing.

one day many years ago, when Billy
Emerson was In. his heyday and all
San Francisco was at his feet. he was
accosted by sailor with a long red
beard. The sailor said that he could
sing and wanted a job.
Il have no opening" said Emerson.
The tar, however. was obdurate and
several times during the day impor.
tuned Emerson to give him a chance.
To get away from his tormentor EN-.
erson was compelled to go to his no
tel.
Near the theater was a saloon where
the minstrel boys were wont to con.
gregate after show. 1t was of the
usual kind. with room in the rear,
with piano and piano player Into
this room. when the performance was
over, went the sailor and asked the
man at the piano If he would change
places with him and allow him (the
sailor, to play in his place. The mu.
sician acquiesced.
The performers trooped to the front
of the saloon, and soon there came
from the rear room the strains of
sally In Our Alley" sung as only one
man in the world could sing it
Boys" said Emerson. that's Tom
Dixon"
A rush was made for the rear, where
1t transpired that the sailor was
none other than the great minstrel
tenor. He had gone to Australia with
a company. 1t disbanded, and he
worked his way home as an ordinary
seaman. during which time he grew
the long red whiskers.

symmetry, and he has figure that
makes him look as though an earth
quake had shaken loose everything on
the top floor and 1t had all fallen
through into his dining room.
Your true Berliner eats his regular
daily meals, four In number and all
large ones, and in between times he
now and then gathers bite. For In

he knocks off for an hour and has a
few cups of hard boiled coffee and
some sweet, sticky pastry with whip

Then about o'clock in the afternoon

appetite for dinner. This. though, is
but snack-say school Of Bismarck
herring and kraut pie. some more
coffee and more cake and one thing
and another-merely a preliminary to
the real food, which will be coming
along little later on.
Between acts at the theater he ex.
cuses himself and goes out and pre-
pares his stomach for supper. which
will follow at II o'clock, by drinking
two or three stems of thick Munich
beer and nibbling on such small idbits
as few links of German sausage or
the upper half Of raw Westphalia
ham.
There are forty-seven distinct and
separate varieties of German sausage,
and three Of them are edible, but the
Westphalia ham. in my judgment. is
greatly overrated. 1t is pronounced
with the accent on the
last part, where 1t belongs.
In Germany, however. there is
pheasant agreeaby smothered In young
cabbage, which is delicious and in sea
son plentiful. The only drawback to
enjoyment of this dish is that

Not American at All.

A certain type of story-that having
the sudden conclusion. such as "Wil.

funeral will be tomorrow"-has been
claimed as purely American in its ori

of story is older than America itself

A Good Sign.

In digging out an apothecary's shop
in Pompeii the workmen brought to
light a notice that confronted visitors
to the place 1000 years ago: "Otiosis
non est locus; discede. morator." 1t is
good sign for the modern office or
place of business. Callers who know
Latin will read it for themselves.
Those who do not will ask what it
means. Then comes your opportunity:
