Havdn's OK Minuet.

Hadyn one day received a visit from
q butcher who said that himself and his
daughters were admirers of Haydn's
music. and as the young woman was
soon to be married he made bold to
ask that the composer write minuet
for her wedding. Kind Papa Haydn"
consented, and In few days the man
Of meat obtained his music. Not long
afterward Haydn was surprised to
hear this same minuet played under
his window. On looking out he saw q
band Of musicians forming ring
around a large OK tastefully decorated
with flowers. Soon the butcher came
up and presented the OK to Haydn, say
ing that for such excellent music he
thought he ought to make the COM
poser a present Of the best OK In his
possession. Ever after this little com.
position was called the "Ox" minuet.-

Grothusen. The position beneath had
been reached when Charles exclaimed.

II was not until tho forenoon that
Burke called US up and asked II we

With scarcely word OF eXplahh-

Burke opened the door, es II nc

"Is it there YETI" asked Burke anH-
iously.
"Yes--there It is again" said the
operator, with a look Of disgust on h'a

Kennedy did so. and elected large
