JUST THE CHILDREN MOuRNED
None Came to Claim the Body Of Old
George, the cornetlst.

About us everywhere in the iotsam
of the human tide are drifting mystic
ries we accept without inquiry. There
are such people in Sacramento as "Old
George, the cornetist," who recently
fell dead In New York city.
Day after day he appeared at the
same corner, offered his familiar tunes
TO the admiring children and the some
times abjuring adults, and collected
the pennies wherewith to buy food.
clothing and shelter.
No one ever asked him his right
name, but the children loved him.
Then one morning, as Old George
raised his horn to his lips, It clat-
tered to the pavement. and the song
he was planning to give the crowd
ratified in his throat as he toppled over
dead.
The children mourned him for sew
eral days. No one came to claim his
body.
