John Philip Sousa, the “March King,” once came upon an organ grinder turning out one of his latest productions more in the manner of a dirge than a quickstep. Taking the handle of the organ from the Italian’s hand Mr. Sousa turned it briskly, playing the piece in the proper time. The proprietor of the musical vehicle asked Mr. Sousa his name and the bandmaster told him. A few days later Sousa met the same street musician, and about his neck he saw the sign which read “Pupil of Sousa.”
