THE PIANO.
The janitor gf a hail out in the
country was asked by an entertainer
from the city if there wasn't a piano
that he could use for the evening's
entertai.nment, says the Baltimore
Sun.
“Wall, yes, there is a piano diw.'i
in the cellar,” s.'id :he jantor, “but
you couldn’t play in it; leastways, not
asjt is, for it’s full of books."
Then the jainti5r bawled to his wife;
“S-Jsiin, where’s the w'oik.1 of that
piano?"
