am credited with at least the average
sense Of humor, but l saw nothing humor-
Gus IN the AlmShouse. Sometimes the old
men laughed, but younger men would see
nothing TO excite their risibilities in what
they laughed at.
But this reading-room, with its fifty In
mates. Here was a study for the painter
and the poet A Dickens would have
reveled in it. Everythin was somber and
sad aud silent.
In the center of the oblong room was an
obong pine table with benches at each side
of it. All sorts of current literature OF
doubtful antiquity, with one or two morn
ing papers, lay on top of the table and much
more Of the same kind Of reading matter
was In use by the occupants of the room
The four walls of the room were lined
with pine benches. This was the furniture
OF the reading-room. II was somber IN hue,
painted the color of adobe mud, and, to all
appearances. scrupulOusly clean.
Among the fifty occupants of the reading
r0Om-there may have been one or two
more or less than fifty-blue was the pre-
dominating color. Nearly all of hem wore
blue oYeralls, many wore blue coats and
some had blue caps.
And all had their hats on. That Is one
distinguishing feature Of the pauper. He
never takes his hat of.
Another distinguishing mark is that every
pauper has blue about him in one way or
another. II none of the other garments are
blue at least the flannel shirt is.
Some Of the garments were whole and
looked rather neat IN comparison. while
others hung on their owners in tatters and
rags. One tall man with a very serious
face and full black beard. who was read
ing Harper's Weekly upside down, wore
coat that in the number and variety of
patches adjoining II would outrival the
eraziest crazy quilt ever built by an esthetie
woman. And every patch had broken at
least part of the thread that once held it
down to the coat. Hence for every patch
there was now a rag.
JOseph'S coat of many col0rs would not
begin to compare with II, and the "Raggedy
Nan" was never in it with this gTaYe-lOok-
ing pauper.
A silly boy sat on long bench between
two very old men who were thinking. And
he was crying, not bosterouSly, but con-

broke the silence of the room.
a great many of the fifty were reading.
The others were thinking or dreaming. All
Of them were past fifty. They were clean,
as paupers go, but as much could hardly be
said for their coats. The blue overalls
showed evidences Of frequent washing, but
The coats lacked sponging and pressing.
Ny entrance into the readIng-room was
almost unnoticed. One or two old men
raised their eyes as opened the door, but
that was all. They must have recognized In
me a ne w-eOmer. put they gave no sign.

said.
"Too bad, too bad" he said, but there
was nothing in the tone of his voice in
keeping with the sentiment expressed by
his words.
"Do they treat you well here" l asked
of a mild-faced old man who raised his eyes
to me as l came out of the blind ward on
the first day of my arrival.
"Oh, yes" he said.

"Y-e-s," he said slowly.

Now the procession is great institution

all day long the big courtyard in the rear of
and to the north Of the main building is
sunny.
And all day the procession moves back
ward and forward. from east to west. up
and down that big courtyard, but always
keeping in the sun.
The incurables who are housed in the
main building and those too fee Bile to walk
join the procession right after breakfast.
Sometimes they walk four abreast, some
times more and often less. Now and again
some of the straggers get tired and fall out
of rank TO sit awhile on the sunny benches.
Sometimes the ranks OF the marchers are
thinned down to half a dozen, and some
times they are swelled to 200 But always
- except at meal times - the procession
keeps moving. moving. eternally moving.
You have seen wild beasts tread back
ward and forward with tireless tread in their
narrow cages.
Something like this is the procession.
Only the marchers don't look very wild
and they walk to kill time rather than TO
find weak spot at which to break out.

numbers were quite depleted and the line
