Half-and-Half Music.

A jobbing carpenter came into the Wheatsheaf tavern and ordered a halfpint only, instead of amount of refreshment. The proprietor expressed amazement. “ ’Tis like this,” explained the carpenter : “I’ve alius been quitfir willin’" to reduce my expenses once I saw the quality give a lead. And, just now, coming from a job of work up at the hall, I noticed that Sir ’Enery has made a start in what is called economy. His two daughters was playing music in the drawing room, and they was i both of ’em playin’—mark you this —both of ’em playin’ on one and the self-same piano.”—Liverpool Post.
