I'm one who's going to see these

speech was, in short, a point by

Mouse Plays Hob With

When man bites a dog that's
news. When mouse calls halt to a

tire, that's news again.
A good many persons no doubt won
der why Bill Eggers didn't continue
with his pipe organ selections at the
second show last Friday evening. No
1t wasn't stage fright, either.
As matter of fact, a tiny mouse
managed to get himself across a
jack knife switch of the organ con-
troll just as Bill threw the switch, and
was that mousey cooked to fragile
by 22O volts of perfectly good cleo
tricity?
The sad part of it is that when Bill
seated himself at the organ no melo-
dious tones issued from the sound
loft, because Mr.. Mouse as a last deed
to get even with Bill for closing the
switch, just as he happened to pass
over those little brass gadgets, sue
ceeded in blowing the fuses and very
effectively stopped any more organ
programs until the next day when the
damage was repaired in time for BilPs
