A MODERN ORPHEUS.
He began by “wliistlin up” the jarveys at one it the
metropolitan car-stands, ut ‘after a short spell ho con-
sidered thc occupation mfra dig.,' and ascende ‘to the lofty
eminence of chief bugler to an ice-wafer distributor, from
which he recently retired to assume the onerous position of
traffic-manager in one of our tlourishing “Loo Line"
establishments, where, for the nominal figure of t reehalf.
pence per solo, he is prepared to give traditional demonstra.
tions of “The wind that shakes the barley,” being his
ioetical description of the “puff preliminary” with which
lie removes the froth from the flowing tankard.
Some day-in the far distant future, we hope-the coroner
will teariully inform 8 sorrow-strickeii Jury of his fellow-
citizens that “his end was music.”
THE DOCTOR'S CHESTNUT.
Doctor Conan Doyle, at The Authors’ Club Christmas
dinner, recently “passed along," as he said himself, an
American “Santa Claus” story to the effect that some
negroes were keeping tliejestival. of Christiiizis, and they
were told to hang up their stockings at night. One poor
negro had no stockings, and so he hung up his iants. In
the morning he was asked what ‘he had got in is pants.
He replied: “I giiess I got a nirger, for my ants have
gone.’ “Twenty golden years ago ’ this “upsto- ate” anec-
dote was retailed at “The Star Theatre,"’ Dame Street, now
“The Empire,” by that genial old liumorist, Tom MacLagan,
who described himself as the victim, and stated, as the
result of “Santa” having annexed’ his pants, that "I had
to go home in a. flour4bag,” thus illustrating the beautiful
sentiment so exquisitely expressed by the late Mr. H. W.

"After-dinner tales remind us
We can make our yarns sublime,
And departing leave behind us

“CI-IUMLEY’S” Ci-IUMS.-A " LIMERICK.”
By Eaton Haul.
“Some fashionable guests entertained by the Duke of
Westminster at Eaton Hall at Christmas amused them-
selves by motoring to Cholmondeley Castle, Cheshire.

In a raid on the Castle of Cholniondeley,
Some young “sports” were successful uncolinondeley.
They annexed “Screech 0wl’s” cup,

AN ]NSTRUMENT’S TEMPERAMENT.
The Elieltlllg Mail of January 3 has the following adver-
tisement:-.
“ CROSS strong, square Piano, in perfect
order, .523 10s. 53 Iountpleasant square; ,
It is a great ity that “strong," "square” piano, “in per-
fect order,” should possess the disadvantage of belns
" cross.” However, a little kindness on the.part of some
experienced purchaser who understands the piano tempera-
ment should have the effect of restoring it into Ii respect-
able, well-conducted instrument.
