Ono of the characters In Nome, Alaska, wns Dick Dawson, who had n saloon, dance hnll nnd gambling hell combined, nnd had brought his out fit, Including nn automatic piano, down from Dawson City over an almost Im passable route. One day when things were rather quiet in the place, Oscar, tho chief and only musician on the staff, got to work with the automatic plnno nnd pumped at the pedals in ambitious Btjlo. He hnd ground out a lot of old fashioned homo und mother songs, whon suddenly, without tho least warning, ho struck Into tho "Itldo of tho Vnlkyrlcs." When tho crashing opening chords flrBt sounded, Dawson, who wns stand ing at tho end of the bar, started and looked around, to see what wns tho matter. Then the music took on n lighter tone, nnd ns n delightful thrill ing nm sounded out In the treble he settled back to enjoy it. Again came a clash and thump, thump, thump, as the bass chords got to work again. Dawson started ovei toward tho piano on tho run. "Don't bother yourself. Dlck,v said n hystnnder. "That's all right, thnt mu sic. That's Wagner." "Who tho 's Wagner?" wns the nnswer. "I'll kill thnt Oscar for let ting him spoil the piano!" Now York Sun. How He Meant to Reform.

Take Your Pillow Along. Many people when away from home find It difficult to sleep woll In n strange bed, and arise In tho morning with a sense of having passed a de cidedly unsatisfactory night. Vice President Knowlton of the Raymond & Whltcomb company, who ought to know, says tho trouble Is all In the pillow. It'B tho pillow first, last and always. Ho has slept in many lands nnd under all Imaginable conditions, and years ago came to tho conclusion that with one's own pillow at hnnd it mattered little about tho bed. On an extended tour he always tnkes his pil low with him, stowing It carefully at the bottom of tho trunk for futuro reference. "If 1 could start Hfo over again," ho Bays, "I would learn to sleep without n pillow (the only proper way), but the art must bo acquired during childhood. The next best thing is your own pillow wherever possible. Try it and bo convinced." ir., i Good Explanation. The ,Rcv. James T. Dougherty, rec tor of St. Mary's church nt Canandai gun, tells this story of his recent visit to tho St. Louis exposition: "In ono of the buildings I met a voluble Irish man In charge of an exhibition of Irish relics.

'How do you suppose the deer had como to get his horns so firmly fnstcned?' I asked. "'Surey I don't know, your river once,' was tho reply, 'but I think he must havo been "buttln' in."

Ho wns just about to punctuate his thoughts with a few well-chosen words, when ho heard some ono just behind him. Catching himself, he glanced oyer his shoulder and saw Prof. Luther, who smilingly said: "Say it; go on and say it I never can, you know." New York Times. Knew What Was Proper. Dr. William H. Tolman, Director of tho American Instltuto of Social Service, tells a story of a "fresh air" youngster who was received at the country house of a friend of his for a two weeks' stay. "Ho was from the slums," snid tho narrator, "and sup posed to bo Ignorant of tho comforts of life, let alone tho amenities.
