We Love to Work.
Joe Howard in Philadelphia Press

Joe Howard in Philadelphia Press.
Take my friend Chanfrau, the actor,
whom have known for twenty years,
and always liked and always admired. ~
q type of man born in this country Of
poor, humble parontase, with no start
in life until accident opened door.
Through that passage way he jumped
quickly and was never pulled back.
Sixty-fivc years Of age. worth all the
way from $:nO, 900 to $500 900, he was
working like ear horse. A fresh sea-
son was just begun. weeks and weeks Of
toll and labor for him. days of travel,
evenings Of excrtion, nights Of COM
parativc unrest were Ia he his portion.
Why? Not for more money.
He was rich enough. lilo loved
work. We all love to work. That
is the great American trait, work
and love If money. 1t isn't the money.
II it was the money We were after
wouldn't We Hoard it? Wouldn't our
savings banks have greater assets than
they have too av? Work was Chanfrau's
recreation. Work was his delight
Had any one suggcrted to him the de-
STABILITY Of II trip to Europe, with q
year among the delights of the Cont
ncnt. he would have laughed the idea To
scorn. Why? To make more money ?
Not at all. because he loved to work
he liked Ia see his name on the big bills,
he liked to hear the cheering applause
Of his friends in the audience, he liked
to believe that he was still the peoples
favorite.

A Boston Romance.

Nineteen years ago u female infant
was left with an Irishwoman in Boston.
The name Of the child was not given,
and the only clew was u handkerchief
bearing o name, which was with tho
childs effects. All trace Of the babes
family connections were lost, and the
little one grew up in ignorance OF its
father or mother. cared for bv the old
woman and her family. After lapse
of years a peculiar growth appeared ON
the lii Of one Of tho child's eyes. Sho
WAS taken to an oculist, who remarked
upon the singnlarity Of the case, and
said that he had operated only upon ono
other similar ease in the course OF his
practice, and that WAS upon the eye Of
q wealthy lady in city near Boston.
Here was the long hidden clcw to the
childs identity. The person who took
the little girl TO the oculist reported
what the doctor had said. An attor-
ney was called in, and it was in tho
process of long investigation deyel-
oped that the name upon tho handker-
chief was the name of tho manufacture
er's wife and the girls mother. The
girl was several months ago con-
frontod with her father and mother. A
settlement by the payment Of several
thousand dollars for back board and
damages, so the story goes, and an an
nuity Of 81, 800 for the daughter, now
q Young lady. was effected. it is said.
When the child was abandoned the
husband of the lady was a poor book
keeper. II was feared, it is said that tho
birth ofthe baby would angcra relative
OF the mother. who was possessed Of
means, and so the child was given up. To-
day the book keeper il wealthy maui
facturcr. lie has a family who have
gown ny in entire ignorance Of the exis-
tence Of their eldest sister.-BostoD
