Ave. 712 11th Street| THE EVENING AROUND THE CITY By Nannie Lancaste rock-ribbed man, with hair that looked like silver wire, and the out- stepping stride of him was like unto that seven-leagued giant that we insist upon remember- ing, for all he llves in fairyland, while we are but plodders on the road lald out for us by Father Time. You would never guess that he had met up with his 70th year, because for one thing, he didn’'t belleve in old age and wouldn't bother about it. It was beneath his notice and never would have existed except fot th spiritual law that limits a man’s age. The minute & chap gets to be 70 he feels that he must have a leg in the grave—which is nonsense, you know It the Bible had fixed the time limit at 90, people would rollick through the decades up to that time, the same as If they were young. Nothing to the old law—nothing. That was a couple of weeks back Then the snow care and pneumonia caught the rock-ribbed man. And yesterday this message was quavered over a bedside phone: Doc says I'll be luc by Spring with a cane. 1 take back my braggings. law stands.” E was a to get out have to The old * % X % ‘O make the best of a disability is a splendid thing. And a splendid thing is worth passing on: An old man was going down the Seventh street side of the market house with a small basket on his arm. His steps were slow without being sure, and his shoulders so bent that his face all but touched the hand that held a cane. Having come to the curbstone below the market, he was walting his chance to venture across, when another man, going the same way, helped him over, and, in leaving, cautioned him not to try to recross at so congested a section The old man gave a birdlike twist to his neck so that he could get a side glimpse at his Samaritan and chuckled out assurance : “I won't be coming back before dusk.

It is a fine thing to make a little child happy.” The man paused to indorse the state- ment and the other was openly glad to have a listener: “When you can see all the sky there is and lh5 tops o? trees and other high- up things’ you take the world as a mat- ter of ceurse, like I used {0’ in my well days. But when you have to Keep look- ing at the small things under your eyes they get to be lots of company—friend- Iy like, you know. My granddaughter puts me up a Junch and a bag of pea- nuts for the squirrels and some animal crackers for the children, and when it is warm enough to stay on the streets I have a pretty good time altogether— and make many friends—-'" “That's a fine scheme, sir. pretty good sermon.” Then the man went his way, and later on mentioned it to a body who tabbed it down—like this. Not so much, of course, but it is worth it, because bravery is always a worth-while' thing to consider. * Ok kX ¥ A AN in search of congenial com- panionship went to @ bird store to buy a parrot that could talk. The store owner considered the case apart from its financial aspect — store owners being generally anxlous to please. He admitted that he had no con sationalists in stock, but if the gentleman would return next afternoon—which the gentleman did, at the time set, and found a knowing green polly perched near the door. “Hello, Polly,” said the man. And the parrot responded with jovial spontaneousnes “Hello, colonel.” That settled the deal. long time there lived an all-alone man knowing parrot, each other at going: “Hello, Polly." “Hello, colonel.” If you are an all-alone man, with nobody to kiss the bumps and make them iwell, it is something to be able to call out, even to a green-feathered, Also it's a And for a in this town person and a who called out to every coming and STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, JANUARY 12 hook-beaked, shiny-eyed thing with no telling what may be going on under her ruffled topknot: “Hello, Polly.” And to hear her croak back, with as much rich huskiness as if it were a toothsome cuss word: “Hello, colonel.” Not much, of course, but something. And the colonel was old enough to have learned that every little counts; even a rank bestowed upon him by a parrol. And he was entirely satls- fled with the soclal gifts of his two- worded friend, until, just a little wkile 4go, he found ‘a lonesomer person than himself, who was blind and wanted a parrot that could talk. So, after a battle, he turned his Dbird over to a new owner. - And now in this town there is a blind woman who' calls out to her companjon: * “Hello, Polly. And Polly grouches back: “Hello, colonel.” * oK K WOMAN making a short cut through a park paused to en- dow a squirrel with a nut. While she was dolng it, a man came marching toward her by another path. prou coludn't put it that he was walk- ing, for he wasn't. He was march- ing. Perhaps he had struck the galt that suited him, because there was no one around—unless you count the woman and the squirrel, and snow, and snow, and snow! Perhaps, again. he was born that way, but anyhow: He was marching through the park, holding before him a jonquil, yellow as gold, with a long sappy stem. He must have seen in the blossom something more than a flower bought from a florist's shop, for he held it before him as an altar boy carries a blessed candle. The woman stopped peanutting the squirrel to look at the rapt, stately, moving figure, but the man paid no attention. The jonquil might have been a magic wand that was vision- ing to him other jonquils that had bloomed in the garden of his past. You never can tell what wonder- ful thing is golng on in the heart and soul and brain of any man of woman you pass on life's cross- roads—especially a man who goes marching through a park carrying a flower as If it were a blessed can- A little girl with TODAY’S AMUSEMENTS.
