Last night an interesting meeting
was held at the City Hall, the gath

Much has been said of Paderewski s wit, into which there enters occasion ally fine and wholesome malice. A story told of him when he was 12 years old will illustrate this charac- teristica He was taken by piano manufacturer of Warsaw to the house of Ia, professor of music. While there was delay, the curious boy found in 3 neighboring room a new polonaise in manuscript by the professor, learned it at sight and soon was asked into the parlor to play something. Paderewski played several pieces from memory among them a brilliant polonaise.
 sFWho wrote that?" asked the pro- lessor.
 "It is an old po1onaise of Oginski's period" answered the boy, (which learned in Podelia.''
 On the way home the manufactures asked, How did you like the pro- fessor?"
 "Oh, he's a b1ockhead.'' answered the bog with a peculiar laugh Why : He didn't know his own polonaise be- cause I put in two or three varia- tions."
 The seat sale for Paderewskf-s last recital of the season, which will take place Tuesday evening, May 2, in the Park theatre of this city, is now going on at Steinert's music store.

OUR VANISHING DEER.
The Most Graceful and Most Hunted of
 All Our AnirnaIs


 No animal on the North American continent has been hunted so relent- lessly as the deer That's why he is getting scarcer every year, and you'lE have to look in park or go into the mountains to find one today.
 For convenience in distinguishing this animal from other members of the family scattered over the earth, we call him the common American deer. g He is also referred to at times as the roebuck, the jumping deer and the long tailed deer. He is small compared with others of his family, like the moose and elk, and his color is brown in summer and gray brown in winter. He weighs between 100 and POO pounds.
 The male deer carries a pair of horns. which he sheds each year after the breeding season. Then he grows a new pair, their size increasing as the deer grows older. The female deer. called the doe, has no horns.
 They are vegetarians and live most of the year on shrubs, grass and the buds of trees. Sometimes they become bolder and visit a farmers corn or wheat field. They also like berries.
 The American deer is one of the most graceful animals on the continent, speeds over the open ground or through the forest with equal ease It harms no one, yet it is the most hunted of ami nlals. The reason is that the animals flesh is most delicious. If you have ever tasted venison you'll see why met hunt the deer so relentlessly.- delphia North American.
