HE BOUGHT IN PARIS. Then He Found He Could Hove Don* Better Nearer Home. Enrico Caruso, the famous tenor, told a curious story once while In conversation with a man prominent in musical circles in Philadelphia. The two were ascending the stairs from the basement of the Bellevue-Strat-ford when at the first landing they baited, and Caruso pointed to a marble bench of ancient Florentine pattern. "I am a great admirer of those benches,” be said, “and last summer 1 had a strange experience with them. 1 had just purchased a villa in Italy and was always on the lookout for something decorative in the way of novel furniture. “While in Paris I happened to see one of these benches and at once concluded to put a dozen of them about the grounds. 1 found the dealer and asked the price. He said SSO apiece. I ordered the dozen. “A few weeks later I was at my villa looking it over and happened to discover across the hedge at the border a marble yard, and there was the marble cutter working on one of those same benches. “I climbed the hedge, and after chatting with the man a few minutes and admiring the great care he was exercising 1 asked if he usually made such benches. ’Oh. yes!' he replied. ’I make many. 1 have an order now for twelve of them for the great tenor Caruso. He ordered them in Paris.’ “When I recovered from my surprise I questioned him and found that be was really the man who supplied the Paris dealer. 1 asked him how much he would make me some for, and he replied. ‘Twenty dollars apiece, signor.’ “So I was paying SSO for the privilege of buying in Paris what was being made at my own door, in addition to freight both ways and extra incidental expenses. Now when 1 want to buy anything for my home I go to the nearest place first.”—Philadelphia News. A Chinese Joke. There was a man In Ch’angan who was very fond- of giving dinners, but the food given was atrocious. One day a guest threw himself on bls knees in front of this gentleman and said, “Am I not a friend of yours?’ “You are, indeed.” replied his host. “Then I must ask of you a favor,” said the guest, “and you must grant it before I rise from my knees.” “Well, what is it?’ Inquired his host in astonishment “Never to invite me to dinner any more!” cried the guest at which the whole party burst into a loud roar of laughter.—North China Herald. Persistent. Shopkeeper (to commercial traveler) —Can’t give you an order. Quite overstocked. Traveler—Let me at least show you my samples. ShopkeeperSpare yourself the trouble. I can’t look at them. Traveler—Then will you allow me to look at them myself? It is three weeks since I have seen them. —London Penny Pictorial.
