It does us all good now and then to become aware that clowns, and such, are also | human like the rest of us. Clowns even have cause for tears and weep | them without shame. This buffoon was of a low class, and an habitual drunkard. In his early and better days he had made a good salary, and if he had been careful and prudent, he might have continued to receive it for some years. But the saloon had a fascination for him which he could not resist. Finally there came a time when he could ob- tain no engagements, and he wanted bread He was reduced to taking odd jobs whenever there was a place for his talents. This enabled him to eke out the most meager existence. and vet, when he did earn anything, it was spent in the old way. About this time I met him again— he had been sulking in the lanes and alleys of London. I was in the thea ter myself. and met him where 1 had a short engagement. He made the most repulsive sight 1 have ever seen. He was dressed for the pantomime. in all the absurdity of the clown's cos- tume. His hloated hody and shrunken 1gs—their deformity enhanced wrecfold by his fantastic glassy eyes, contrasting fearfully with the thick white paint with which the face was hesmeared; the gzrotesquely ornamented head, trembling with paralysis. and the long, skinny hands. ruhbed with white chalk—all gave him a hideous and unnatural appearance. of which no description could convey an adequate idea. His voice was hol- low and tremulous. as he took me aside and in broken words recounted a long catalogue of sickness and pri- vations, terminating as usual with an nrzent request for the loan of a trifling sum of money. I put a few shillings in his hand, and ax I turned away I heard the roar of laughter which followed his first tumble onto the stage.

The sick man was Iying with his face toward the wall; and as he took no heed of my presence, I had leisure to | observe the place in which I found | myself. | He was Iying on an old hedstead, which turned up during the day. The tattered remains of a checked cur- fain were drawn around the bed’s head to exclude the wind. which, how- ever, made its way into the comfor less room through the numerous chinks in the door, and blew it to and fro every instant. There was a low cinder fire in a rusty unfixed grate: and an old threecornered stained table, with some medicine bottles, a broken ghiss and a few other domestic articles, was drawn out before it. A little child was sleep- ing on a temporary hed which had been made for it on the floor, and the woman sat on a chair by its side. There were a couple of shelves, with {a few plates and cups and saucers and a pair of stage shoes and a couple of foils hung heneath them 1 had had time to note these little particulars. and to mark the heavy breathing and feverish startings of tie sick man, before he was aware of my presence.

He re. membered that he had alwavs squan- dered his earnings for drink. and he knew that if his wife cherished re sentment against him for the times he had deprived her and perhaps ac- tually heaten her. she was entirely justified. He had hardly treated his family well. and he had even treated them for vears—and now was worried lest they seek a natural revenge. “Yes, v hurt you “I tell you t.” said the man, in a low voice, he does hurt me.

NANCY PAGE Christmas Cheer Belongs to Whole Wide World. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Everybody stopped to exclaim over the Christmas appearance of the Page home. On the palings of the white gate was hung a large wreath of holly | with as many berries crammed into its dark green leaves as could he put there, and at the hottom of the wreath | was a bow of red ribbon. The Pages did not use Christmas tree lights on | the evergreens in front of the home, nor did they hang a wreath on the door. They let their neighbors do that | effective decorating. But they did have lights at their windows in the evening. Across the front of the house were windows with wooden shutters. These shutters were folded back against the house. The vuffled, draped back curtains framed wreaths, hung outside the house, one at each window. Inside on the sill of each window was a lighted ndle which showed its light in the center of the wreath. The effect was delight- fully Christmassy. Being hung out- side the house the wreaths lasted all through the holiday week. Today in Washington History BY DONALD A.

It is fine to have pride in a good name, for instance. It is had | to have pride in wrongdoing. The rizht kind of pride is somethinz that every- body should have. Some of those little people of the Green Forest and the Meadows know this quite as well as we do. Tervor the Goshawk was a_prisoner of Farmer Brown's Boy. He was a prisoner in a cage. He who all his life long had known the freedom of the iir, who had come and gone at will where he would was now a prisoner. But. though he was a prisoner and felt tie disgrace of it, he would not let the others know what his feelings were. No, he still held himself proudly, He was still Terror the Goshawk, even though he were a pris- oner. When Farmer Brown's Boy tried to | make friends with him, Terror would not make friends. He would not take food from the hands of Farmer Broy Boy. But her did he stirike at Farmer s with either bill w claws. His fierce yellow eyes looked past Farmer Brown's Boy, as if he did t see him. He would not have -epted food when he was free, so he would not do it now. He ate only when Farmer Brown's Boy was not | about. Now Farmer Brown's Boy had placed the cage outside in the farmyard, fo he felt that Terror, beinz a bird of the out-of-doors, should be kept out of doors. It was a large, comfortahle cage. There was a perch and there was a box in which Terror could take shelter in bad weather. Yes, It was a very comfortable cage, but this made it no less a prison | Of course, it wasn't long hefore the word had passed all through the Green all over the Green Meadows, aven over to the Great Mountain that Terror the Goshawk was a prisoner.

These lotions are absorbed quickly | nd leave the skin dry. so that any- ort of work may be handled without soiling 1t with the hands. If there is any further trace of chapping. repeat the applications of oil again at night and wear the gloves again. Creams are preferable to oll pped or lips. Wipe off the surplus cream and dust the complex- jon with a good powder before going out again. Camphor ice rubbed lightly over the lips will prevent further chapping and will also heal the skin. for Miss E. 0.-—Try bending and circu lar movements to exercise hips and stomach, since you cannot the simpler exercises done Ly rollin; Stand =0 the weizht is on the ball of the foot, vaise arms above head and then bring them down in front of you in a circle and touch the floor with vour finzer tips without hending at the knecs.
