young singer who had been study
ing for opera work had the good for
tune to be engaged by an impresario
for tour through South America. His
chest sweIled with pride as he walked
the deck of the steamer that was to
take him on his first trip to foreign
lands. On the second morning out he
was much surprised to meet an old
classmate. who, like himself, was a
tenor singer
well, well. where did you come
from? Where are you going?" each
asked the other.
And each answered, I'm engaged by
an opera company for a South Ameri-
can tour"
MY manager is on this steamer"
said one.
And mine too
Within five minutes both singers
found that they had been engaged by
the same opera company for the same
part. What does the man mean by
hiring two different men for the role
of first tenorY' asked one
Pardon me-" interrupted yonth
who had been standing near and over
heard their conversation. "You have
myself and two other singers for com
panions in this affair We have Just
found out to our surprise that we have
all been engaged by the same man for
the same part on the same tour. What
under the sun can he mean by having
five first tenors?"
The five youths then took counsel
together and decided that they would
see the manager and demand an ex
PLANTATION.
They found him on the forward deck.
He listened, seemingly amused at their
complaint. and said: Gentlemen. don't
you worry. am an old an experience
ed man in this game and know what
am doing If you were acquainted
with the climate of South America you
would know yourselves that it is abso-
lutely necessary. We shall scarcely
arrive there before three or four of
you fellows will be stricken with the
deadly tropical fever Experience has
taught me In all my tropical tours to
allow for all sorts of mishaps and mis-
fortunes. OF course you can see what
excellent prospects are offered to the
chap who Is able to withstand every
thing" And with these words the
manager retired to his cabin.
The Eve young singers then sat down
and debated the excellent prospects"
They soon came to decision. One
chance in five OF being a star singer
instead of a dead one did not prove
sufficiently attractive. So when the
steamer stopped at Liverpool the
youths went ashore, and the impresario
never saw them again.-Youth's Com

A Contrast In Treatment

THE testimony Of German until recently confined IN

tions there prevailing IS gratifying testimonial to
the efficiency and humanity Of the methods employed IN
this country in caring for enemy prisoners.

after he had been at liberty and had no personal ends

confined at Fort Bliss receive the very best treatment
