Both Thought So.

In the recent brief biography of Eduard Uemenyi, the great Hungarian violinist is petured as a genius who saw things from the humorous point of view.’ One aftertiooii -at Fort Collins, Colorado, where he was to play that night, Remenyi was sitting on the piazza of his hotel, when he was ap preached by a big, burly negro porter.' "Wliai u v .ou do in the show?" asked the porter. "I am the end man,” replied Uemenyi. "I thought sol Have you |ot some influence with the boss of the show?” "I think I have a little.” “I thought so! Could you get some tickets for me and my old woman?” “Maybe I could.” "I thought so! Try hard!” ”1 will try mighty hard." A little later Remenyi’s manager gave the man two passes, which he received with his stock ejaculation. “I thought so!” He accompanied them to the opera bouse in the evening, and Remonyj gaVe him his violin ease to carry. "Who plays this fiddle?” he asked. “The end-man.” replied Remenyi. "I thought so!”. After the concert the porter was In the lobby, waiting for the violinist and the manager with a very long face. Remenyi again gave him the violin ease, and as they walked along he was heard to mutter. At last he said aloud: "You bet you fqoled me!” ,"I thought so!" said Remenyi, with dancing eyes. Hiirh Art.
