Irish Twins See the Fair.
The towers stood up strong and
proud againsLthe sky. Smoke was
coming out of the chimneys.
"Do you suppose the earl himself
is at home?" Eileen asked- her,
Father.
" 'Tis not unlikely," Mr. McQueen
answered. "He comes home -sometimes
with parties of genfiemen and
ladies for a bit of shooting or fish
ing. ,
"Maybe he'll conie to the fair,"
Eileen said to Larry.
"Sure, he'd never miss anything
so grand as the Fair and he being
in this part of the world," said
Larry.
Some distance from the castle
they could see a church spire, and
the roofs of the town, and nearer
they saw a little village of stalls
standing in the green field,1 like
mushrooms that had sprung up over
night. x . .. '
"The fair! The fairf cried the
Twins. Although they had come so
far, they were among the earliest
at the Fair. People were hurrying
to and fro, carrying all sorts of
goods and arranging them for sale
on counters in little stajls, arovfTid
an open square in the ceuratvof the
grounds.
Cattle were being driven to their
pens, horses were being brushed and
curried, sheep were bleating, cows
were lowing, arid even the hens and
ducks added their noise to the con
cert. Diddy herself . squealed with
all her might
Larry and Eileen had never seen
so many people together before in
all their lives.
They had to think very hard about
the secret in order not to forget
everything but the beautiful things
they saw in the different stalls.
There4 were vegetables and meats,
4fl& butter and eggs. There were
hats ana caps. lhere were crocner
work and bed duilts and shawls with
bright borders, spread out for peo
ple to see.
There were hawkers goin ga bo u t

with trays of things to eat, pies and
sweets, toffee and sugar-sticks. This
made the Twins remember that they
were) dreadfully hungry after their
long walk, but they didn't have any
thing to eat until quite a while after
that, because they had so much else
to do. They followed their father
to the corner where the pigs were.
A man came to tell them where to
put Diddy.
"You can talk with these two
farmers," said Mr. McQueen. He
brought the Twins forward. "It's
their pig."
Then Larry and Eileen told the
man about finding Diddy in the bog,
and that their father had said they
could have her for their own, and
so they had come to the fair to sell
her. '
"And, whatever will you do with all
the money?" asked the man.

Are There No Women, Clowns
With the Circus?
(Copyright, 1920, 'by The Wheelcf
Syndicate, Inc.)
Al Miaco, who recently cele
brated Jiis 81st birthday and is
the oldest clown in the circus
business, is authority for the
statement that women do not
make good clowns and that for
this reason the profession is one
in which men predominate.
"I have known some women
clowns," says Miaco, "but none
of them was good. As a general
rule, women won't make fools
of themselves as men will arul
they don't want to make them
selves ridiculous. A male clown
doesn't mind how foolishly you
dress him nor how funny you
make him look. He hasn't much
natural vanity. But give a wo
man a ridiculous costume, make
her paint her face in. red and
white checks, put on a false pair
of feet seven sizes too large for
her and what have you? A wo
man clown? No a resigned and
melanholic person who gets but
little joy out of life und less out
of her wok.
"Women seldom have a sense
of humor when the joke is di
rected against themselves. They
hate to be laughed at, while men
like a joke and can enjoy the
ones that hit them as well as the
ones which are aimed at others.
My sixty yeari of experience has
proven thafoien make the best
clowns. Maybe it's because they
don't have to act maybe they're
just born that way." j " ,

HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
j
'. 1 1 i
The Greeting Mother Graham Gave
. Madge.
Ijicky possesses one virtue raised
to the nth power. In his own vo
cabulary he is "no welsher." There
fore I knew that if he accepted the
bargain I had just proposed to
avert his mother's wrath against
him in return for his aid of Major
Grantland's hospitality he would
carry it out to the last letter of the
alphabet.
I didn't look at him again. I
simply lifted my hand and knocked
upon the door of my mother-in-law's
compartment. At the sound Dicky's
hesitation vanished.) He spoke hast
ily: "All right. I'll get 'em together,"
and he was gone around the .corner
of the corridor before Mother ura
ham had ooened the door. From
inside the room I heard Junior's
wails, and knew that my prophecy
as to his crying for his delayed
breakfast had been fulfilled.
"Well, I hope you're satisfied!"
she greeted me ludicrously, as if I
had deliberately planned the losing
of my baby's food. Then her jaw
dropped with astonishment as she
noticed the cup ot milk in my nanas,
still steaming.
"What's that?" she snapped.
Junior is Famished.
I crossed to the crying child be
fore answering her.
"Here, lover," I coaxed in the
time immemorial way "of mothers.
"Here's some nice milk for you."
Junior's tears stopped as if by
magic, and he scrambled up on the
bepth with his hands held out en
gagingly 7or the cup.
"I asked you where you got that,"
Mother Graham repeated crossly.
"How do you know it's anything fit
for him to have? He'd better go
hungry than eat something that
would make him sick.
I let Junior drain the Cup before
answering her. I wanted no' argu
ment which would delay that pro
cess. A hungry child is to me one
of the most pitiful things in the
world.
"Major Grantland sent it to Jun
ior," I said sedately, as I set down
the empty cup.

snapped. "He's as fussy over his
comfort as an old maid."
My impulse was to answer hejrl
tartly for her injustice to tne man
who had provided the hamper of
food solely for our comfort angered
I'M THE GUY!
1 i
I'M THE GUY who sits by the
little gate dutside the office of the
"big boss" and makes you tell all
your business.
The boss may be a decent sort
of a skat to meet if I let you meet
hir but I'm not and I don't in
tend to be. He .can afford to be
affable, but if I wasn't haughty and
offensive you wouldn't recognize my
importance.
I don't give a' hoot about half
the questions I ask you. I just
ask most of them to get your-goat
And I get it.
If I think you're anybody im
portant, X may be half-way decent
to you, but you've got to show me
first if I don't happen to know you.
If I don't like your looks or you
get fresh with me I make you cool
your heels until I get darn good
and ready to attend to you. Next
time you'll know better than to of
fend my dignity.
Sometimes I make a mistake, but
my batting average is pretty good.
I get away witfl it more times than
thie's a comeback.

Parents Problem
V. How can a child best be taught
to concentrate his attention.
When giving him anything to do
whether a lesson to learn or a
game to play, or a book to read
say to him: "Think of this,! think
only of thft." After a few trials, he
will "do this, and only this," that
is, study, play or read.

me, but instead I replied with care
ful casuamess:
"Neither didve lose ours. It's
just outside the door."
I walked past her, opened the
door where, Dicky had set the box
down, picked it up and returned.
My mother-in-law looked at me
frowningly. v v
"Where did you find it?"
"Dicky had it with his things."
"Well! Why in creation didn't
you hurry back to fix the poor child's
own food for him instead of waiting
for that fool Grantland's stuff?"
"Simply because Dicky didn-'t ap
pear with the box until after Major
Grantland had given nTe the milk," I
replied with tartness in my own
tone, for I was getting a bit tired
of the inquisition. "The thing I wasj
mnet l' t t mrtt o f art in , e ntt.'ni. r n !
thing for Junior quickly."
"Yes, it looks that way," my
motheiin-law-sneered, as she busied
herself with undoing the' grip con
taining the food. Junior, tempo
rarily satisfied with" the warm milk,
was engaged in hugging me ecstatic
ally. "You took such good care of
it last night." '
I looked at her with angry aston
ishment. . . .
"Didn't you hts me tell you that
Dicky had it all the time?" I asked
coldly. "I'd like to know what I
could possibly have to do with it."
"I heard what you said," shere
torted, and I saw that she Was fast
working herself up into one of her
trantrums and prepared myself o
hear something vicious. I prepared
also to overlook it, for I saw that the
strain of the journey and the reae'
tioh of her nerves upon finding the
food for her beloved grandchild after
her fear that it was lost had robbed
her of self-control and common
sense. She was irritated, upset and
she was striking blindly at anything
within reach. And the nearest ob
ject happened to be myself.
"Oh, I'm not blind 1" she went on.
"Mrs. Durkee told me that Major
Grantland went after you and
brought you to the station las night.
Of course, that's all right in itself,"
she amended hastily, "but I can tell
you that you're getting much more
interested in that jackanapes than
you've any right to be. When a
woman can forget her baby's 1ood
because of a good-looking man it's
time she called a halt. That's all
I've got to say."
