In Sunday school hall in the Forties
the superintendent of the building ex-
acted a promise that the name OF the
hall would not be revealed if the vlsi-

of another show.

The callers were ushered without fur
Their ceremony into a long, narrow room
on the first floor rear lighted by two dis
NAL windows set ten feet above the
floor. There was no ventilation. The
usual principals in the usual undershirts
sat about the sides of the room and in
the centre of it fifteen chorus girls were
being put through song and dance by
a negro. They wore less, if possible,
than the Yorkville contingent.
The negro director had been engaged,
the manager vouchsafed. to stage one
number of the show, a ragtime dance
and song he had written. They call him
the negro musical comedy king because
he once staged production that Chan
ming Pollock said would have amazed

But the poor girl in the back row
couldn't. From where the visitors sat
it was easy to see why. Nature had
made her knoek-kneed.
One step led to another and "connec-
ton" step to link them all together. A
girl in the front row wavered and would
have fallen had not the one next to her
thrown supporting arm about her. As
she tumbled into chair a waxen-faced
individual with a cigarette hanging
from his lower lip bent over her and
patted her bare shoulder.

On the other side of the room sat the

Under her wing was her daughter. The
mother had accompanied the daughter

No, she could hardly be with her on the

When He e Up

A Cleveland clergyman has given
to the Plain Dealer of that city this
account of infant resourcefulness:
My little daughter was feeling a
bit under the weather the other eve
ming, and consequently was put to
bed early. She had not been under
the IVA more than five minutes
before she called out:
Mama, l want to see papat"
Go to sleep, dear" answered her
mother. Papa cant see you now"
In a few minutes she called once
more.
Mama, I've got to see papa!'
Il can't disturb your papa now.
He is very busy. Go to Sleep"
There was a silence for nearly four
minutes. Then these words foated
down the stairs:
MAMA, ! am a very sick woman,
and I want to see my pastor at once,''
Then ] went up.

The Old Home


The old home stands serene and
stanch as in the days of yore,
But gone are all the voices, and the
welcome at the door,
No footprint marks the paths with
in its garden desolate,
Today tits memory takes my hand
and leads me thru the gate,
Till in my fancy blooms again the
garden row on row,
The larkspur and the marigold---
sweet flowers of long ago.
The roses grow beside the wall as in
forgotten Junes,
The iris and the lavender distill their
rich perfumes,
The while ] picture other days, and
shadowy forms appear.
Dream faces smile mid candle light
and sweet old songs l hear.
The bride upon her wedding day
mn softly down the stair.
An old man dreams of youth within
his fireside chair.
The picture changes and a boy with
manhood in his eyes
Goes forth to seek his fortune---oh
the years that make us wise.
Dear house, long since is stiffness
left--today you seem to wait
To welcome home the boy again
grown now to mans estate
der revery,
Thankful for all the past holds dear
in precious memory.

of the New York state prison at Os-
shining because his efforts to give the
Mutual Welfare League and its at
tendant reforms "a fair and full
trial. at Sing Sing were hampered
by "reactionary forces" higher up.
For years the brute they saw,
Only the fang and claw,
At Ossining.
The lash, the chain, the cell;
The dark, lone silent hell
Only the crime, the misery, the shame,
Were there before Believing Thorn
as came
To O%ssining.
But now the man they seek,
Now to the spirit speak,
At Ossining.
The patience and the trust;
The inward voice Thou musti"
The kindly word instead of iron
blame
These rule since our believing Thorn
as came
To O~ssining.
Yes. now the man they find,
And with affection blind,
At ossining.
And there a brother-band
Hold us both heart and hand;
And Justice that is Loves working
name
Dwells there since our believing
Thomas anne
To Ossining.
No man has lost his chance
To conquer circumstance
At O~ssining.
Filing the dead Past away
We stand upon Today"
This was the faith that leaped to
living flame
In that great hour believing Thorn
as came
To Ossining.
Honor the dare and deed
That SOW the golden seed,
At Ossining. s
Where each one has a friend

A father and friend that every man
may claim
Since our beloved, believing Thomas
came
