A Pretty Story.
The Kind That Sweetens Life and
Makes Humanity Better.

Here is "a pretty story, the kind
that sweetens life and makes hd-
mainly better. 1t appeared in the New
York correspondence Of a cincinnati
paper and is as follows:
Six thousand crippled and homeless
children were the guests OF the big Bar
NUN circus the other afternoon, coming
from every institution Oh the island.
The riders rode harder than ever before,
the acrObats made more desperate ven
lures, and the clowns were funnier than
they had ever even hoped for in the soil
tude OF the dressing tent. One clown, es-
pecialIy, caught the fancy Of the children.
He played q trombone, and hesitated
about where he should make his stand
Six thousand kids went into spasms OF
laughter at his appearance and six thOus-
and voices shrilled invitations to him to
"Stop here, mister and play, III you Ask
Me Why | Love You" lie pretended
great uncertainty. IN stop wherever
one OF you ask me without laughing.
said he. The chorus Of laughter shrilled
louder. Six thousand times thirty-two
cleaning teeth shone at him during the
uprOar lie started to walk off with
burlesque solemnity, when a little fellow,
with one arm done up in Il bandage,
leaned over the edge OF a box and ad-
dressed him, without a trace of merriment
in eyes or voice
Please, mister" he said don't go
way. Mary's here and shes got to lie
on two chairs, and if you go way she
can't see you"
That clown gave Mary everything in
his box OF tricks He didn't leave the
place until the bugle sounded the recall
Then there were two thin channels mark
ed through the white paint of his face
as he waved his hand for the last time
in answer to the happy smile in Mary
little white face.

With sword or nobler Pen:
Nay, not with eloquent word or Thought.

No banner TO CLEAN and wave;

Yet. faithful still as bridge OF stars,
She fights in her waIIed-up town
Fights on and on in endless wars,
Then silent, unseen-gOes down

And soldiers to shout and praise,
