A commercial traveller put up for the night at a small country inn. In the breakfastroom the following morning he" was asked by the' landlord how he had enjoyed the cornet playing in the bedroom next, door during the night. "Enjoyed it," eried vthe bagman, "1 should think not,i indeed! Why, I spent half the night pounding on the wall to make that cornet lunatic stop." "I am afraid there;has been a misunderstanding," said the landlord. "The cornet player told me that the person in the next room applauded him so heartily that he played ©very piece he knew five times over."
