The muslc-lovlng Italians gathered about tho moving melody and began to drop pennies Into the rusty tincup. Tho cripple, with a feeble smile, kept on turn ing tho crank, that released tho obscure tune. Suddenly a. wave of consternation swept over the audience. The thing was play ing "Dlo Wacht am Rhein," which Js.iQpe man. and anathema to Italians, ..There were cries of "Cut It out!' "Can It!" nnd the musician tried to obey.

He bent over the 'or fendtng box and gave It a few smart raps, to reorganize the Internal adjust ments. Then they tried again. And still It played "Die Wacht am Rheln." "DJdn't you know It only had one tune In It?" demanded tho audience. "Sure." said the beggar, "I thought if you hoard It often enough you'd get to like It." Then they gave h!m enough pennies to get him out of the neighbor hood. PERFECT AMERICAN MAN WANTED BY PEG O'WING She's Chinese, But Ho Must Be Well Nigh Ideal to Qualify. NEW YORK. July 17.
