When Douglas Fairbanks was a little boy, five years old, he lived in Denver, and he was always sent to bed much' earlier than he wanted to go. Opposite his bedroom was a tailor shop where the lights burned brightly a long time after Douglas went to sleep. He used to lle and watch the industrious tailor, and one day he sur- prised’ his father by saying that he knew what he wanted to do when he grew up; he would be a tailor. “Why?” said his father. “Because,” said Douglas, “I could sit up then as long as I wanted to—all night it I pleased.” Biblflflu for' Ths Ploneer.
