.NOP SO MANY AI TUR AM). lie seemed to have more business than seven men ought to have, and he appeared to be in a hurry, so much so. indeed, that everybody near him was in his way. Thjs latter applied to women as well as men. So when this middle-aged, well dres-ed individual started I'o;- the elevator in a downtown department store, h- pushed all the women wanting to use the el at r aside, and crowded into it himself, plaeing himself riuht by the d or so he could ply the elevator girl w ith questions, and impress her with Iiis own importance. "Is Mr. So-in-So in'.'" he as ki ,i )u r ' I believe he is," politely re-

ied the elevator girl. "I want to see him right vav." declared the seif-import-

ar.t individual. The person he wanted to see was the manager of the downtown department store, and as the (levator reached the lloor on which was located the manager's othce, the self-important individual pushed everybody üside and ni: he 1 up to the selfcom posed young woman at the desk at the entrance to tho manager's office. "I want to see Mr. So-in-So." Informed the self-important individual. "lie is busy right now, will

you please be seated. He will see you when he is at liberty." replied the self-composed young woman. And as the self-important individual disgustedly seated himself to cool his heels along with some others, one of the youni? women who had been pushed aside in the elevator was heard to giggle. "He isn't so many after all, is he?"

SYMPHONY OUCIIITKA COMING. Those who will hear the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra at either of its appearances here on the afternoon and evening of May 11 will notice that the conductor, Emil Obcrhoffer, directs the entire program without the aid of a score, revealing the accomplishment of a very difficult feat of memory. Such an achievement Is possible only to tho trained orchestra man and means that he has grasped and remembered the role of every Instrument. The acquisition of a repertoiro of such immensely long: scores means for Mr. Oberhoffer unceasing and highly concentrated labor. During the summer months, which Mr. Oberhoffer spends at his country home near Minneapolis he spends many hours a day in memorizing new .scores and refreshing his mind on old ones. The result is a series of performances of remarkable brilliance, sureness of touch and concentration of purpose.
