When Music Does Not Charm.

I like to dine, as all men do, But I can eat without a band. To have to hear their “tootle-tool” And ’umpah!” while my food I chew Is more than I can stand. I 'want no bunch of tawdry Huns To help me through the bill of fare No group of girls whose technique stuns' Who puff and strain like evil ones, Need aid me with their blare. When I am struggling with ray bone, Or wrestling with a salad dire, I do not care for, I will own, Carueo on a gramophone Nor bursts of “magic fire.” ~T Won’t some one start an eating shop Where One can dine in peace and quiet?— .s Where Sousa won’t stick In one’s crop, Or Georgemcohan spoil one’s chop— Where orchestras wpn’t riot? ■—Chicago Tribune.
