keep in mind, Nels, my friend con-
tinued the Janitor. you can't square
yourself by apologizing. That amt
the general impression, l know-not
with the ginks that have got the apol-
ogizing habit and seem to think that
they've made it all right when they
say they're sorry. They'll smash the
china vawse that your wife's cousin
that was in the commissary brought
home from the Emperor's palace as a
souvenir at the time of the Boxer
trouble-a vawse that you've been Of
| fered hundred dollars cold cash for,
and they'll say, oh, amt that too
bad! How careless Of me to slam it
again the radiator / didn't mean to
break it. 1 just though I'd see if it
sounded cracked And then they think
your wife's real mean if she doesn't
tell em that it amt no consequence.
And they'll jump into an automo-
bile and throw the clutch into high
and head right into the middle of a
bunch of kids. 'Bumpety-bump,' goes
the machine. What's that?' say they.
Little girl killed? Dear me. amt that
too bad, We're just so sorry as we
can be- We hadn't no more intention
of killing her than anything. We're
awful sorry And then they think
they're abused when a cop arrests
them. We didn't run off, says they.
We stopped and we apologized to the
heart-broken parents they says.
/ What more could we do?'
There's all kinds of them the
Janitor continued. You amt the
only one. There's them well-meaning,
but high-spirited rah, rah boys, with
their hazing, that I'd like to have my
way with. They don't mean no harm
when they tie a new Johnny up hand
and foot and gag him and lay him on
| the railroad track; they just want to
scare him little, and if they hadn't
forgotten all about the $40 express, it
would have been all right-unless the
kid died of heart failure. They're just
as sorry as you was, and it certainly
seems too bad to give them set
back on their educations by firing EN-
out of college just on account of a
boyish prank and after they had ex-
pressed their regret, don't it?
1T amt only the ones that jabs the
ends of their umbrellas in your face
and upsets their billing coffee in your
lap with their elbow and shortcomings
you and sits down on your silk hat
and such as that as needs the fool
killers attentions. There's a breed
thai will knock you till your best
friends won't speak to you and whel
you go to 'em about it with blood
in your eye, they think they're mighty
hlgh-minded and virtuous if they take
it back and apologize. They tell you
that they didn't intend to be took
literal in the way everybody had took
'em, or that they was under the wrong
impression when they said you'd done
stretch in the pen for sheep steal
ing, and was sorry that they'd been
misinformed and hoped you'd shake
hands and excuse 'em. And they look
as if they expected you to buy 'em a
drink, cuss 'em! And there's the
kind-your friends mostly-that'll
bawl you out by the hour and when
you're reaching for club. they'll tell

Along the road to Bethlehem
Three weary wise men slowly Jared,
And wondering shepherds gazed at them
And bowed the heads which they had
barred
Three wise men who had journeyed far
Rode slowly DER the hills that night.
Still following their guiding star
Whose constant beams were broad and
bright.
At Christmas time they heard voice
That sweetly sounded far on high;
rejoice, ye sons of men, -ejoiceI"
The words rang clearly from the sky.
The trembling wise men paused to hear
The song that angels sang to them.
And ceased to doubt and turned from
fear,
That Christmas night in Bethlehem.

talking to st. Louis reporter about
