The Musical union has rained its ad
mission fee in the hope that this no
tion may do something toward cheek
ing the Increase in the numl>er of or
chestral musicians in the Uulted
States. Not only does the Increase of
native musicians yearly tend to make
the supply much greater than the de
ma ud, but there Is never a visiting or
chestra that does not leave behind it n
certain part of its forces. The Bnndn
UoH.sa, Strauss' orchestra and an or
chestra that came here with an opera
company all left some of their mem
bers behind them, and it is not In the
least unlikely that the same thing will
happen when the Lelpsle orchestra,
now on its way to this country, de
cides to go home.
Sometimes the players are under con
tract and must return to Europe, but
they generally come back to the United
States as soon as the opportunity of
fers. It is to prevent this too rapid
increase that the union has raised the
initiation fee, because without being
one of its members no musician can
readily find employment here. In spite
of the excessive supply of which they
complain, musicians are still so much
better paid in this country than in Eu
rope that It will be many years before
tbeir emigration to this country cornea
to an end.—New York Sun.

[Lawyer Got Rid i
Of an Agent.;]
"My insurance man came In to see
me the other day," said the young law
yer, "and wanted me to increase my
life insurance from $5,000 to SIO,OOO. I
couldn't do it very well. Of course he
was a great deal disappointed, lie
talked and talked. I could see that he
was indeed distressed. But In the end
I had to tell him peremptorily that I
really could not meet his views al>oiit
life insurance.
" 'Now,' he said, 'do you know 1 am
rather glad of that, because 1 have an
other plan here that I would a great
deal rather have you go into? Of course
these life Insurance people are my prin
cipal employers. I have to do my duty
by them. My conscience would not let
me tuke money from a man for any
other purpose than life insurance until
I was absolutely sure that there was
nothing doing with him In the life In
surance line. See?'
"I told him that nobody appreciated
better than I his loyalty to his employ
ers.
"'Thanks,' he said without blushing.
'Now, I want to call your attention to
a company that has uttrnoted my no
tice because of its liberality and fair
ness in dealing with its friends. Now,
have you ever thought about accident
insurance? Every young man'—
"Well, of course, he went on until he
was stopped. I succeeded in stopping
him by telling him that I wished very
much that he would talk to me about
something new. I never made a worse
break In my life.
" 'l'm tickled to death that you spoke
about it.' he said. 'Now. there's some
friends of mine, with a mint of money
behind them, who have got the newest
thing out. It's health Insurance. For
less than 3 cents a day they will insure
you against any one of these diseases.'
"And then he unfolded a list of horri
ble afflictions that looked like a list of
ailments which could be cured by somo
iHxiy's patent medicines. It took my
breath away. He had the right of way
and talked until I got my wind again.
Then I told him that it was too much
like an Investment In cheap gold mine
stock for me. If it paid, It would pay
a great deal, but it was more likely to
result In money thrown away.
"'Ain't those gold mining stocks aw
ful?* he exclaimed. 'Now, I have Just
hod a mighty funny experience about
those things. I>ld you ever hear of the
Midas and tlranrl Central Pete mine
out in southern California? No? Well,
mighty few people have. They will
before long, though. You see, going
arouud as much as I do. 1 get next to
some very influential people, and
through them I got on to this Midas
and (. C. P. stock. They are going to
keep It very quiet until next February,
and then they are going to spring a sur
prise In it that there will be a heap of
money In. Of course ull these things
are crooked. The thing is to be In
with the people who are doing the
crooked work. I am In. Now, to tell
the honest truth, 1 am awfully hard up.
That's why I have been after you so
bard this morning. I need the money.
I need SSO more this minute than I can
possibly need SSO,OtX) next February.
1 have got about 'Jo.OOO shares of th"
M. and (J. C. P. stock, and for the sak*.
of getting n little ready money quick
I'll let you have part of it for Just what
it cost me—s,ooo shares, for Instance,
at 1 cent a share. On the 11th of Feb
ruary next that stock will be worth $'J
a share or more. Not a cent less.'
"He paused and drew a lot of gold
and red ink certificates out of his breast
locket and hashed them before my
eyes. I waved them away. I told him
with the utmost frankness that I real
ly was not able to undertake any new
investments. If 1 was going to gam
ble, I said, I thought that I would take
to a regular openly coufcssed gambling
house. •
"The insurance man leaped from his
chair and caught me by the hand.
" 'Well, say,' he sold, with the atr of
one who had at last found out what his
errand actually was, 'I tell you what
we'll do. I've got $5. You put In $5,
and then you put me on to some faro
Joint around here, ami I'll go and piny
faro for awhile. When I've run it up
to a hundred. I'll bring It in and split
it with you. I'm lucky to beat the
band on calling cardH.'
"I sighed a long, sad sigh sml hand
ed out the five and a note to a bartend
er friend who could 'put him on to a
faro Joint' and urged him to hurry. I
had a case to get ready, and the time
was ehcnp to me Just then at that price.
"Rut the funny part of this yarn is
that about half an hour later a messen
ger boy came into the office and hand
ed me a fat envelope. It contained five
$lO bills and this note;
" 'Much obliged. Excuse haste. I've
gone up home to pay rent and head off
dispossess notice.' "—St. Louis Star.
