A certain playwright relates how a manager was much annoyed by the persistent applications for a “job” xmmade by a peculiarly seedy individual, ‘Time and again the manager had re- ferred this person to his stage man- ager. ‘“See Blank,” he would say, in- terrupting the man’s attempts to set forth his qualifications. At last the applicant did succeed in gaining audience of Blank, the stage manager, who was in the theater for the time “sizing up” candidates for the chorus. There were, of course, a number ahead of him, but this fact did not ing the stage manager between songs with requests for a job. Bxasperated, the stage manager at length turned to the pianist and or- dered him to play an accompaniment for the stranger. With considerable hesitation the seedy person raised what voice he had in song. The result was bad as bad could be, The manager suddenly commanded him to desist. \ “What do you mean by this tomfool- ery?” he demanded, disgusted. “You certainly have confounded impudence to ask me for a job!” “Look here!” said the stranger, an- gry in tarn. “I don’t claim to be able to sing. In fact, I don’t want to sing. I'm a stage carpenter.

It would be entirely unnecessary, if not positively caddish. to say thut we hate the poor. But there are two kinds of poor—the individual poor and the collective poor. It is'not the individual poor that we love: it is the collective poor. It is not the poor that we know and see,. but the poor that we do not know and have neither time nor inclination to look at. We are afraid if we see them we shall cease to love them. We never say, “God bless the iceman, or the coal heaver. or the motorman.” For them we find our execrations for not contributing to our comfort just so and so‘and so. It is with great fervor, however, that we can say. “God bless the poor.,” be- cause the poor do not interfere with our cowmfort to the slightest degree.— Life. Fielding at Lisbon.
