Some years ago -three young men, all highly gifted’ bat improvident and un- fortunate, were walking the streets of Paris together, penniless and hungry, savs Tit-Bits. ““What wouldn’t I give for a nice break- fast?'’ said one of them. £ “What wouldn’t I give for a bredkiast, even if it weren’t nice?'’ said another. “Any kind of breakfast would do for me, provided it was a breakfast!" said the third, “How much must we bave with which to get our meal?” asked the first. *‘We ought to have 10franes at least.” said another. ‘I have an idea! Here's a music pub- lisher. Come along!” said one. ir,”” said he to the publisher, *‘we wish to sell you a song of which one of us has written the words and another the air; and I will sing it, as I am the only one ot the three who has any voice.” The music publishér made a grimace. “Well, gc on. 'We'll see1f your song is good for anytiiing.” ~‘Hum!” said the publisher at the con- clusion of the performan ‘i isn’t much of a song—a simple little thing. But I'll tell you what'lldo. L'il give you 15 francs for it.” The thr:e young men had not expected as much. They nanded the publisher the manuscript, took the money and went off to dine at a neighboring restanrant. The anthor of the words was Alfred de Musset, the composer Hippolite Moupon and the singer Gilbert Duvprez. The song, which was entitied “Connaissez-vous dans Barce- lone?” had a great popularity and brought the publisher a considerable fortune. —————— About 609,000 trees are annually planted by Swedish school children under the guid- ance of their teachers. —_——— THE CALL CALENDAR, DECEMBER, 1896.
