MAN WHO HELPS HIS BROTHER

wiser Without Pay"-He lie
Partial to None.

When man loves to live he usual
ly can go among men who care little
whether they live or not and do good.
Such man is Augustus e. Vaughan,
immaculate of dress and of heart ven
cradle In years and usefulness, whom
one may see almost any day either on
Boston Common or at the Young
Mems Christian Union.
His speciality is helping his fallen
and discouraged brother, whether he
be a cigarette smoking boy or a rum
sodden and disheartened derelict of a
man. His creed is cheerfulness and
his passion is books.
Often one may see him, tall and
straight, faultlessly attired in frock
coat, with his flowing white beard and
his long and carefully trimmed white
locks, standing with or sitting beside
some ragged and unkempt victim of
circumstances who has sought the only
place where the police will not tell
him to move on, the Common, and
then one is sure to be struck by the
contrast. Many a man he has met

Mr.. Vaughan is not engaged in &C

calls them. Some of these have never
before known a real friend. He is
highly educated, and counts among his

He accepts refusals of marriage SO
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss It.
A doctor welcomes badness when 1t

broke a break pin, requiring half an
