E. B. Slosson,
It was New Year's morning. Last
New Year's morning, if you choose.
The wind was sharp and carried Hakes
of frost as it swept along the rather
quiet streets. The sun was shining,
but it looked like a big, glittering, steel
rf Hector, giving light, indeed, but no
warmth, and the very sunshine seemed
tu make the cold more pitiless. For it
was cold, bitter cold. It always ought
to be, on New Year's day.
The Honorable Augustine Auburn
knew it was cold, for he had rung three
times for more heat, and had a roaring
tire in the fireplace, and still the frost
would not start from the windows of his
apartments. The Honorable Augustine
"was not in a good humor. All this
holiday foolishness disgusted him. His
first nap last night bad been rudely
disturbed by the whistle-blowing, bell
ringing and cannon-roaring, that an
nounced the Old Year's departure and
the New Year's arrival. Then just aa
he had become a little drowsy, his
peace had again been shattered by a
noisy, laughing crew of young people on
their way home from watch-night ser
vice. He had tossed his head im
patiently on the pillow, and muttered,
'Vhat folly will keep people from their
bods."
In fact, Augustine had a habit of
saying to himself, "What folly'' on
many occasions. A week ago be bad
been at the railroad station where a
bride and groom chanced to be taking
their departure on their wedding jour
ney. Their young, frolicsome friends
were there T'ith sacks of rice, baskets cf
old shoes and yards of white ribbon,
with which they were having great
sport at the expense of the newly mar
ried pair. They raced along the plat
form as the couple boarded the train,
showering them with rice and covering
the car step with old shoes. The good
natured train crew were looking on en
joying it, and the passengers and by
standers, with the exception of Augus
tine, joined in the laughter and general
hilarity. As a baggage truck went by
with a load of trunks, two of which
were profusely decorated with white
ribbons, Augustine turned away with a
sniff. "What folly over nothing," he
said. For Augustine was a bachelor.
He was a crusty old balchelor, and
quite prosperous. But he had grown
bald early, and he was not on good
terms with hs stomach. His head
ached this morning, and he finally de
termined that he would go out and
walk awhile, until the janitor got more
heat into his room. So he took his hat,
coat, gloves and a cigar a good cigar
and went out. As ho cloied the hall
door and stood on the top step, the
wind made one of those peculiar up
sw'eeps, filling Augustine's eyes with
fine snow and blowing all the ashes
from his cigar. It did not improve his
temper, and he swore a little. That
naver seemed folly to him. no turned
up his coat collar and started down the
street.
He had gone but a block when he
met tbe janitor and two of his children.
They were carrykg an evergreen tree
and some bundles. The honorable
Augustine felt aggrieved. This was
the reason he had no heat in his room.
More of this holidays foolishness.
"Happy New Year, sir," said the jani
tor with a salute.
Augustine grunted. He could hardly
complain about the fire now. "What's
this?" he said. "People don't have
trees on New Years."
"O, but ye see, sir," said one of the
bDj'F," me brudder was off on 'is run last
week he's a train-boy, an' 'as got a
good job an' go wo're havin' ourChris'-
