THE WORST ON RECORD.
The man at the bazaar had been using a vast amount of persuasion in trying to induce a visitor to purchase a phonograph. " Wonderful instrument," he remarked. " I've a blank cylinder here, if you' care to hear yourself." The visitor's eye brightened. " I play the ilute a little," he replied, producing an instrument. "tf you don't mind " The bazaar man did not; and the wax cylinder was soon indented with something that only a detective could have recognised as " Alice Where Art Thou ?" "Is that really me ?" asked the flautist, when his performance was repeated by the instrument. " That's you exactly, sir. Will you buy the phonograph ? " " No," was the sad reply. " I'll sell the flute, though."
