he described the modern boot as the
basis upon which all civilized peoples
took their stand. He was followed by

the subject. The average layman

the painters art, unfamiliar with his

He Was Sitting Down.

The late James A. Bailey, famous an
the successor of P T. Barnum, once &C.
cepted an invitation to a dinner ten
dered to bride and groom among the
freaks" Of his circus. He was late In
arriving and found the company 20
litely awaiting him. There were living
skeletons, dwarfs, Circassions, snake
charmers, the "girl that spoke seven
languages and had two heads which
made fourteen languages in ALL" the
"dog-faced boy" and others. Beaming
upon them with paternal air, the happy
manager acknowledged the genial "Hel-
10, pop" that went around the festal
board
II am sorry kept you waiting" he
said. taking his place at the table. II
believe there are several new additions
to the company. Is this the groom?
NO. replied deep voice from the
full beard addressed, II am the BRIDE"
II beg your pardon" said Mr.. Bal
ley, 81 did not recognize the bearded
lady. But, tell me, which is the
groom?'
II am" proclaimed very thin voice.
In establishment Mr.. Bailey glanced
up at the figure towering near his ell
bow.
II congratulate you, my man," said
the manager. "Sit down, let us on with
the feast-sit down."
The guest addressed at once began to
ascend seemingly until his head was in
the neighborhood Of the canvas roof,
from which height he looked down and
said:

The First Boy Journalist.

When the library Of Ex-Governor
Pennypacker of Pennsylvania was sold
recently, there turned up among other
odd volumes complete file Of the first
magazine edited by boy. 1t was
bought by Mr.. Beck, formerly assistant
attorney general Of the United States.
This unique volume was entitled.
''The Juvenile Portfolio and Literary
Micellany." 1t was named for one OF
the earliest American magazines. It's
editor was Thomas G.. Condie. Young
Condie's father was the publisher for
one year Of monthly magazine for
adults, and was engaged for many
years in the general publishing business
in Philadelphia. His sen, who was
born in 1897, had a natural fondness
for the business, and In 1912, when he
was Is years old, founded his own
monthly.
The Juvenile Port Folio" consisted
each issue Of four pages, little larger
than eight by five inches. and with two
columns to the page. The editor made
a house toulouse canvass for subscri-
bers, and a list Of more than six hum
dred Of them is printed in the bound
file.
The magazine had life of little
more than four years until young Con-
die graduated from the University Of
Pennsylvania and began the study Of
law.
Although Condie has often been re-
ferred to as the founder of juvenile
journalism, this Is the first time evil
dence has been found to support that
title, as the other files Of his paper
have disappeared.

and forget that you ever saw what was

and forget that you ever saw what was
not meant for your eyes"
Probably that would be the more
sensible course" he agreed. giving Peg
gy's hand an affectionate squeeze, as
he recollected how often she had coun-
seled ard sympathized with him.
When he was in his own room he
opened his memorandum book and
took out the folded scrap Of paper to
reread the simple confession. He
started to tear it into pieces, but some
thing deferred him; he replaced it, half
ashamed of his sentimentality.
II.
what are you young people going
to do today2' querled Mr.. Bruce, after
breakfast the following morning. He
was rotund gentleman, favorite
with Peggy's friends. Come out to
the quarry this afternoon, If you've
nothing else on hand"
Perhaps we WILL" Peggy answered !;
I'VE want to go to Gloucester to shop
this morning, If you will let us have
the automobile"
II can do without 1t, guess" he
said, pinching her ear gently. You'll
look after them, won't you. Adams? ?"
What am I, mere man, when girls
are on shopping bent" he rejoined gay
". "I'll do my best, Mr.. Bruce"
Their departure WIS made in high
spirits. The short distance was trav-
eled in good time, and Adams left
the girls at milliner:s, with the I'M
derstanding that he would meet them
in two hours at drug store.
He visited one or two shops to make
a few purchases on his own account
Then, as considerable time remained
he went to the library, where, in the
reading room, his eyes fell at once
upon Bernice Shaw.
II thought you were buying frills
and furbelows with Peggy" he re-
marked in surprise, sitting down in
a chair beside her. Il dropped In to
read an article friend Of mine has
in this magazine. \ want to tell him
I've read it, when he asks me-"
Miss Shaw appeared disturbed by
his presence, turning tie leaves Of her
magazine without reading them. Ad
ans glanced over the articles In ques-
ton, and retired in discounted frame
of mind, as he had hoped for quiet
little talk with Bernice.
AS he lounged on the beach behind
a summer hotel he pondered deeply
over the mystery Of the authorship Of
that confession. Perhaps Miss Shaw's
embarrassment was. caused by her con-
