THE DRUMMER GOT LOST.
The Alvord k Spear MTg Co.
A
SCOTCH story is that of a diminutive drummer
in a local brass band, who was in the habit>
when out parading with his comrades, of walk-
ing by sound and not by sight, owing to his drum being
so high that he was unable to see over it. The band,
on Saturday afternoons, paraded usually in one direc-
tion, but Jhe other day the leader thought he would
change the route a little, and turned down a by street.
The drummer, unaware of this movement, kept on his
accustomed way, drumming as hard as ever he could.
By and by, after finishing his part, and not hearing the
others, he stopped, and, pushing his drum aside, he
looked to see what was the matter. His astonishment
may be imagined at finding that he was alone. " Mae !"
he cried to some bystanders, " has ony o' ye seen a
band hereaboot ?"—Musical Record,
