Again and again he told how Tommy had
left home for "Americky" when 16 years
old. settled in Chicago. earned lots of money
and finally sent transportation to his old
dad to join him in the Western metropolis.

more the old gentleman became anxious.

have afforded him no little entertainment
happened on the occasion OF the visit Of the
orchestra 20 a town In Massachusetts where
the organization had never before been
heard. The leading citizens had put UP n
heavy guarantee. and the appearance Of the
orchestra was one of the most notable
events in the history of the town. The fol-
lowing morning the village oracle. Uncfe
Ezra. sauntered into the post Office and was
asked his opinion Of the performance.
Uncle Ezra slowly stroked his white beard.

was a man Of decoroue dignity. attired IN
a silk hat. patent feathers and a suit of
elegant and fashionable apparel. A smile
of profound satisfaction irradiated his fine,
fatherly face. for only a few moments
previously he had met the principal Of the
boys school. who had given him. the most
glorious account Of the progress Of his son.
Gerald Chauncey, aged IL years. Space
will not permit a complete enumeration of
the many virtues OF the gentleman's son
as set forth by the pedagogue. but they
were of such character that the father was
buoyantly elated. He already felt himself
the father Of a man. great perhaps In the
pulpit. or on the bench. or in the halls
Of state or In the learned professions. and
he threw his head back and stepped proud
ly As one who had accomplished wonders.
Even better than those attributes accorded
was the further announcement OF the
teacher concerning the lovely character Of
the boy. generous. high minded, thought
full. lovable. kindly. and withal nobly proud
and manly spirited.
Ere long" thought the father. throwing
out his chest. people will point ME out
in any crowd saying: There: there: see
that man? He 10 the father of the famous
Gerald Chauncey Biliinsseate."
At this point In his reflections hi. foot
struck a rore stretched across the sidewalk
and when he had dragged himself ont OF
the gutter and was back where he started
from. he found his silk hat a crunbling
ruin. his gloves and shirt front and patent
feathers ymeared with gully dirt, his trous-
ers torn across the knee. his coat sprung
in the back and his SO umbrella hanging
together b. Its skin.
He reported the dastardly outrage to the
police by telephone as soon az he reached
home. his darling son standing by his side
consoling him by hts presence. A thorough
Investigation proved beyond the peradyen-
ture Of a doubt that one G. c. BiIlinysrate
Jr.. had put up the rope and was hiding In
the hedge near by at the moment Of con-
tact.
The next day after the father had fin
shed with Gerald Chauncey. he went
around and licked the che teacher.

All life seems made of toll and debt
Just when you are
Too blue to care though you are broke.
Then put your grief aside and smoke

There's always peace and comfort in
