.HE daffiest story of the week
concarns the yolInp musician

concerns tne young musician
who met a strange Russian
i fellow at a party somewhere
after his nights work was done. One
thing led to another and some time
around 3 o'clock the musician and

maker trailing in his wake, not caring
much about anything by that time,

night to get cool"

music when some one stops at the
table to tell us what happened to him
the night before.
