Poor old Balancio," sighed the stage
doorkeeper, he certainly is a bear
for bum luck. When he came on TO
keep this engagement I thought that
maybe he had tied the can to his jinx.
But nothin' DOOM. Say, kid, 1 can re-
member that chap when he wasn't any
more than knee high to duck, ana
they used to make him up like Jap
and carry him on the stage in carpet
bag. Then a big guy would juggle him
around like a ball, and he made
great hit with the ladies.
Small For His Age
HE was so very small for his age
that some society put the quietus on his
work and he had to retire and go to
school for several years. When he did
convince the authorities that he was
a man, by growing whiskers in the
grammar grade, they let him come
back. He put through a jugglin' acI
for q couple Of years. but the wooden
wings were full of jugglin' artists, and
he started to get out something new.
Then's when he put across this ball

Ready to Love
The men in the party glanced, looked
and were ready to love. Her charm
swept like a perfume over US all. And
she had eyes of azure and lips as soft
