TOO much for him, there was always a
sympathetic passer-by to give him
friendly aid.
Tell ME what that word spells, mis-
ter?" he would ask somebody who. he
thought, could read English. Some
times people laughed, and sometimes
they didn't know, themselves, but
sometimes they stopped and told him.
So, bit by bit, Carlo learned the
whole of the great billboard, and was
radiant
He meant to stop one morning to
spell once more the exaggerated state
ments of the poster; but. as he turn
ed the corner, his heart failed him,
and he stood STILL aghast. .White-coat-
ed men were tearing off his previous
text, and were covering the board with
a sober theatrical announcement. Carlo
ran to them, breathless.
You leave that there alone!" he
shouted.
The men laughed and went on with
their work, whistling. When Carlo
realized that his precious posters were
indeed to go, he sat down on the curb
stone and cried.
That was when his new friend. the
Man, CHANGED upon him. The Man
heard the bill-posters laughing, and he
was touched because, as he suppos-

HE LEARNED FROM
A CIRCUS POSTER.

Roger Galeshore, in October Success.
A story which lies very near the
heart of the few who have come to
know of it is that of Carlo and the
circus poster. Carlo is a little Italian
boy of 10, and he lives in one of the
back tenements in Orchard street. To
get to Carlos home one has to pass
through the close, ill-smelling halls of
tenement that faces the street, cross
a court black with countless children
and white with drying clothes, and en-
ter dark, carpetless room perpetually
nlled with steam and the smell of wash
ing. Carlo lives there with an army
of brothers and sisters. He blacks boots
and runs errands, and when this story
began he had never been to school, He
is a cheerful little soul. ordinarily, but
his heart knew one bitterness-envy of
the newsboys he knows who are able to
spell out the headings of the articles in
the papers they sell. 1t was only a few
weeks ago that Carlo made up his mind
that ones letters can only be learned
by trying to learn them. He had no
books, he could not buy any, and he
knew nobody who owned books. News
papers were accessible but the print
was small and it took too long to spell
out the words. Then one day he saw
a circus poster.
The circus poster was red-and-orange
and wonderful 1t had pictures of ami
mails he knew, and of more he didn't
know-but they all had letters under

An officer of one of the larger vessels

fellows in his official capacity. and
ranging up alongside in his barge
(Which, by the way, was nearly as large
as the vessel he was officially visiting)
ne stepped over the port quarter when
the lieutenant in command, in a tone
of offended dignity, informed the Wis
ltor, who was his superior. by two
grades, that his vessel had a gangwav
on the starboard side, and that il was
not only proper, but that the navy
regulations prescribed, that officers Of

toward his headquarters in the store-
mouse, and he shouted Henry" two
OF three times, without getting any
response. Finally the son turned
ABOUT and said in a dignified tone:
Are you addressing me, sir?"
YES, replied the father; It sent

SON REBUKES FATHER.
Instances of the Power of Navy
Etiquette.
From the New YORK Trihune.

From the New York Tribune.
1t has been said of the American
navy that the officers are more exacting
in the observance of etiquette and the
proper courtesies than those Of other
navies, and that the minute 1istinc-
tions of punctiliousness are more mark
ed among the officers of the navy than
among the officers of the army How
ever true this may be. it is not to be
denied that officers of the military and
naval services are apt to be more scru-
pulous and exacting in etiquette than
are civilians, and there have been some
humorous instances related of this
practice of naval officers.
1t would seem, perhaps. that the
smaller the vessel of the navy of half
a century ago the more emphatic or
more exacting were the officers in COM
mand in what they considered was due
to their rank and station. An Incl
dent of this character, related by one Of
the older officers a couple of evenings
ago lat the club was that during the
