A funny scene occurred tho other
night in the Bowery Theater, New
York. Tho scene was a bed room
at midnight with an old gentleman
reading letter. TO the sound OF
slow music villain entered the
room, ant with t-llko tread ap
preached tho old man, clutchng IN
his hand a glilteiing kni g. lie ap-
preached slowly, and the excitement
among the gamlns in the gallery
bcamc intense. just as the would
be murderer was about TO make the
deadly plunge at his unsuspecting
victim, a boy who was leaning With
opened mouth far over the railing OF
the gallery sung out with frantic
earucstness: "L0ok behind yoH CIR rner
There's tcl9sr goin, to stab ger" The
assassin dropped his knife and roared
with the audience, and tho curtalr
was run down without anybod.

Old etters.

Never burn kindly written letters;
it is so pleasant TO read them over
when the ink is brown, the paper is
yellow with age, and the hands that
traced the friendly words are folded
over the hearts that prompted them,
under the green sod. Above all never
burn love letters. To read them in at
ter years is like resurrection TO ones
youth. The elderly spinster finds, in
the impassoncd offer sho ioolishly
rejected twenty years ago, a fountain
OF iuvenesccnca. Glanciny over it,
she realizes that she was once belle
and a beauty, and bcholis her former
sell in a mirror much more congen!al
to. her tastes than the one that con
fronts her in her dressing room. The
/" widow indeed derives q sweet and
solemn correlation from the letters
of the beloved one who has journeyea
to the far-off land, from which there
comes 10 message, aad whore she
hopes one day to join him. No pho
tographs can go vlvldly recall to the
memory OF tho mother the tenderness
and devotion OF the chiIl lren who.have
| Loft ~ thu coll of IIaavou ~ tha
cplStoary outpourlng Of their love.
.rhe letter OF 4 true son or daughter
to a true mother is something better
than an image OF the teaiures-it is a
reflex of the writer's soul. Keep all
loving letters; burn only the harsh
ones, and, in burning them, forgive
and forget them.
