Una tarde de invierno, arrecido
bajo la dura 1agelaci6n de la nieve y
del viento, fuf 4 conocer a NJ. Julio
Claretier lirerato insigne y admins
trador, desde hace muchoS amos, de
la Comedia Francess.
Tn empleado me introduio en- IN
vasto salon de espera, rodeado de
sillones anchos blandos; la luz era
eScaSa; mis- pies hollaban sin ruido
la alfombra, de color rojo obscure;
alrededor de la estancia y colgados
en- la parte mas alta de los muros,
cercs va del techo, habfa multitud
de retratos de escritores y de artis-
tas celebres, con rostros lampiffos
MIN bados por Ell claror de sus abun-
dantes y rizosas pelucas: todos te-
nfan la nariz grande y elocuente, la
boca ironica, y en- Ia quietud silencio-
sa y NAL alumbrada del salon, sus
Iojos. negros parecfan asestarme una
larga mirada impertinente. Sobre
un velador y protegidos por una gran
campana de cristal, vi varios recuer-
dos de valor inestimable media
mandfbula de Moliere. regalo de
M. Cloquet al Museo de Cluny; un
mech6n de cabe1los de Talma; una
crucecita hecha con MADEIRA de Ia
puerto del cuarto donde nacio Cor
neille;;I1uu pie de cera; urio zapatitos
1Sados de mujer -.
Y yo refexionaba contemplando
aquellos zapatos frfos, que va nunca
volveran q caminar: Z
u A quien pertenecfsteis IQu6
cuerpo vibro sobre vosotros
Mientras la media fnandibula de
Molie1e me bac{a pensar en- que
aquellos pobres dientes amarillen-
tos los habfa desnudado la risa mu-
chas veces antes de que los desnu-
dase la muerte, el individuo que ME
condujo alli reaparecio bajo an cor
tinaje, dieiendo:
M Claretie espera q usted.

nidad Y en- su miseria, bajo e1 recuer-
do de la muerta, one parecia decirles
desde la otra vida: "Habeis hecho
bien."
Terminada la lectura de este libro
delicioso, cierro los ojos para recons-
tituif en- mi memoria la fgura de su
autor. Y yeo & M. Claretie en- pie de-
lante de mi, metido en- una larga 1e~
vita negra, Ell busto un POGO inclinado
bajo Ell peso de esa 1nano terrible
que el tempo pone sobre. la espalda
de todos los viejos; y recuerdo su Ma
riz torcida y corva, su rostro seco, su
cabeza calva y puntiaguda sus sua-
YES manos debiles, exangiieS, acos-
tumbradas q despedirse de muchos
que no han vuelto, movienaose en- IN

Where the Trouble Lay.

The other afternoon a man
rushed into the Reading termin-

dashed for the train shed just as
the gates were closed against
him, says the Philadelphia Tele-

He looked as if he wanted to
swear most vociferously, but he
was out of wind, and all that he
could do was to lean against the
fence and soulfully sigh. 1t was
then that the grinful idiot, who
is always on hand, paced over
and butted in.
"Did you miss your train, old
boy?" he queried, with a smil-
inf glance at the painting one.

The Northumberland and the
even the Chinese hare their
feast days. Each religion has
one; but there is one Thanks
giving day for all, when all, of
whatever faith, can, in their own
way call on God, after their own
several rites, for Thanksgiving
day appeals to us all without dis
tinction as worshippers ct God,
just as Independence day APP
peals to all of us, of whatever
political faith, as loversEof our
country. When the PRESIDENT
proclaims to us, as - does
every year, that Thanksgiving is
at hand, and that it behl.ores US
to observe it, he gives usyieasons
why our hearts should BIT CRATE
full and our spirits reserent.
But such reasons for thankful
ness as may be given in the
Presidents proclamation, have
need to be supplemented Il, as
individuals, we are to bring
to Thanksgiving all the feelings
and sentiments that it ought to
excite. To be thankful for
health and prosperity, If We hap
pen to be in the enjoyment Of
those blessings, is reasonable and
right; but it is not enough. /. We
should go deeper than that and
considering what is the trhs, eur-
pose of our day on earth SHOULD
be thankful for every expefience
that promises to make fpfl thai
purposes fulfilment.

Ostriches $500 A Pair.

The ostrich business of the
United States is fairly prosper
Gus, especially in the Salt River
Valley, Arizona, where 1900 OF
the 1920 ostriches in the coun-
try are owned.
This is new line of animal
industry for Americans and there
is much to be learned. We have
not thus far produced such fancy
birds as have some of the more
experienced breeders in South
Africa, but the size seems to be
increasing and the health of the
birds is all that could be desir-
ed.
So far sersious ostrich diseases
have not troubled the American
raises; even the so-called barring
of the feathers has not been OBJ
served. Ostriches need a hot,
dry climate, such as is found in
the Southwest. The rainy por.
ton of the South is far less de.
sirable, although this is some
times mentioned as suitable fol
ostrich raising.
Alfalfa pasture is also essen
tial; an acre of alfalfa will carr,
four ostriches and, which is o
far more Importance, will keel
them in good health. GU
