UNIQUE CASE OF FlLIAL LOVE
To Help His Mother a PennIiess No
bleman "Trles" a Clown Act In
Paris Theater.

Visitors to Paris who have recently
wandered by chance into one OF the
cafe concerts" which are mostly fire.
'quented by that class who neither toll
nor spin. must have been amazed and
saddened by a very unusual music
hall turn. writes the Paris correspond
ent OF the Brooklyn Eagle. Every
night. between the sentimental ten
or" and the "chanteuse legere," a
mournful looking young man appears.
lie is greeted with derisive yells.
He sings. or tries TO sing. senti-
mental ballad and a comic song. de
also initiates animals, the noises OF
tools and the whistling OF locomotives.
The effect is so deplorable that the
audience recently insisted on the no
BILE clown" apologizing for his lack OF
skill. He humbly advanced TO the
footlights and bowed to right. left and
before him. Then in voice choked
with sobs, he began TO express his re-
gret With pathetic resignation he
went down on his knees. offered pro-
fuse apologies for his lack of skill and
promised TO do his best TO please tnem
IN the future.
Few who have seen this lamentable
exhibition know its origin and ex-
'cuse. This abject buffoonery Is In
spired by one OF the noblest motives
filial love. This descendant Of one OF
the oldest and noblest families in Ven
ice was left alone, when very young,
with his infirm and penniless mother.
For many years they lived on the
charity of friends, but the old woman
is now in such health that admission
into an almshouse would be the only
means of saving her life. But this
cannot be obtained without the pay
ment of certain sum, and her son
is now employing the only means OF
procuring it open to him.

HER BOY IN BLUE.

She stood beside a grave that had

Is not my lost loved one.

He was some mothers SON"

Abridueu Bible.

An abridged Bible Is being advo-
cated-one that will contain only tho
vital parts OF the great book. and
that omits hundreds OF pages OF mat
ter now not read at all except by stu
dents. No doubt such Bible would
become instantly popular. because It
would all be interesting and to tho
point In this age. none except stu
dents will wade through very long
books. Everybody wants the truth
boiled down to the very shortest
space. The great story OF the cruci-
ilxion is told in very few words. and

covered In one-fifth the pages required

vented by the erection OF monu-

case OF a deceased officer his friends
and family usually attend 10 the erec

own expense. provide a marker for
every deceased soldier or naval sea
man, Just as II relieves his family OF
all expenses connected with burial In

Hundreds OF letters are received ev'

known throughout the country as the
boys friend, and is familiarly ad
dressed as "Gunk." He always has
his eye open for the bad boy. the
tough kid Of the neighborhood. This
is the kind of boy that he likes to en-
roll in his league and decorate with
one Of his badges.
One of the masterpieces that he re-
ceived through the mail from one OF
these boys says:
Dear Gunk: l thought l would
write to you and see If couldn't get
one OF them badges. l have several
bad habits. swear, chew. smoke Gig
arettes, and say my prayers every
might, but If you'll send me a badge
