An Organ Without Stops.
There is a man living in an Eleventh street flat who has no music in his soul, and there is a man on the lower floor whose soul is fall of it. The lower floor man not long ago added a four lung parlor organ to his lares and penates, and two healthy daughters of his began to practice on it. Several nights later a friend paid a visit to the first man, and as soon as he got inside the apartment he heard the parlor organ on the lower floor. “Pine toned instrument, that,” he said, because ha, too, had some music in his souL The music!ess man granted. “Whose make is it?" the visitor asked. “Don't know,” was the ungracious answer. “How many stops has It?" The host pulled himself up for a powerful effort. “Well,” he replied, “it’s been in the house for about a week now, and in that time it hasn’t bad any that I have been able to discover”—New York Press.
