Qua Kshn. After y*us of vain endeavor to cross the bar bar- riers of his reserve and shyness, I-have per- ■naded htm to speak freely his views on the mnalc business. -1 feel that this entitles mc to an increase in salary, Saturday afternoons off, andjth* privilege of putting my feet on the deA; bnt fsr be It from me to tell my su- **!!!'*^S' ^'r 'datles -and obligations. ' Mr. Kshn. the distinguished and handsome young ;]yrle writer (ha' inilsts on ttis) is •topplnf at a palatial hoatdry known as the i^ke Front resort. The service la truly mar- Tcioos.

Aa tor the snmptuous tepsstsl Even the far- ismed Pittsburg Joe pales Into Inslgnlflcanee. Mr. Kahn'a (the diet., etc.) reception upon his arrival bere was truly touching. He was sDsolutely forced to make a speech, some ot the enttnsiaatic throng even going so far as to dare^blm. He spoke as follows: "My deii friends, ttIs Is tnilytmly oter- whdmlag, (This line Is stolen bodily from i^^^Sim?**.^'*^^ It sMms strange to me ttai.

Some might claim a little less thsn was coming to them, bnt^no ofie would mind that; not even the pnbllahers. It Is my own idea: but I ad- mit It to be a good one. "Also, why BO to the expense of having ti- tle psges designed? Why not simply use sn enlarged photo of the lyric writer. This would be both artistic snd economlcsl. I hsve lust bad some elegant photos, taken. "Also, abolish professional copies. Don't per-' njit anyone to aing your songs unless they pay. This hss been the custom In China for yesrs, and where can yon find-a nuwe popular or bet- ter selling song than Wnn Lung's Cldnese bsl. lad ? . ..."This la positively ail I shsll say about the 'nunc business. I do not care to commit my* self. I am In a very-delieate position. With every publisher In the world frsntlc to' secure my services, I. most use-diplomacy~or 1 am apt to be back In the fish Industry any day." At this time another person (I presume a re- porter) .tried to gain admission; but Mr. Kahn refused - to see him. The man was very per- sistent and was finally told to come next week. He appeared very angry, and mafle several re- marks about "dead-beat," "getting the suit back." etc.' This shows yon how much sought Mr. Kahn Is. and I congratulate yon on your good ludgment in patting me on yoar staff. > I must now go over and gatter some special material on Kelley Pool for next week's Issue.
