CHERRY BUT SILENT OLD MAN In Hit Dying Hours He Remembers Kindly Some Orphan Children In Dallas Hat Two Slttert Liv ing In Greece. Pericles Slamboul, of whom men thin was made III the Ardmorclto sev eral weeks ngo, passed ncross the river to rest, hut night at II 3j o'clock nt the hiiuu of Kd Wnllin. No more will bo seen the cheery but silent old matt, friend nnd play mate of the children, at his arcus tinned place on the comer of Mill ami Main slieets. The old man was well known to all the children of the city and a friend to them nil, ami many a tot has re ceived the gifts of sweets and pel nuts from tho old fellow. Ills friends were Ihe children and his affection for the little ones was warm, but to tho mini of business his lips were sealed ns lo Ills early life and his tory. Hut a few- know nnythlng of him and his earl) life which the old man would not reveal een In his Inst III I ness. except 10 ten me mmii- were taking care of hlin, that he hml two sisters living In fnr off Greece. To one. however, he sstke 11 great deal of bis travels, and from his con versntlon be was one ot the better class of Greeks who left bis home to see the world. For a time he lived In Italy nnd er.gnged In the grain busl ness: from that country be ventured to Hussla and for several years re shied at Odessa, from there he re moved to Moscow, where It Is snld he engaged In business. Here Is where the old man was cl ient, for to no one would be tell why he left Itiihsln for America. Perhaps he might have b-cii connected with a bnud of patriots who would relieve Itussla of her tyranny or perhaps a love nffalr might hint- been the caue no one knows. The geiitlemnn wilh whom lie Bpoke to more than nny one else stated that the old man was a lliigulsl anil wen t.mlrntl,,, w,, versed In both Komnii (m nnc,,t Greek history, as well as fairly well learned 111 the Russian language. With the death of Pericles Stain boul, the nine orphnn children who reside In Dallas nml to whom the old fellow was greatly attached will In all probability mils their Snntn Clans this coming Chrlstmns. Kvery year the old man would send sums ot money to them, and often during tho year would supply the little orphans In Dallas with clothing and shoes. Ills last reouest to Mr. Walling with whom he wns when death came was that he, Mr. Walling, jhould go to the bank and draw therefrom the sum of one thousand dollars, that h might send It to his little wards i Dallas, mid on yesterday the old fel low, perhaps knowing that death wn at hand, endeavored to dress him elf and go to the bank and secure the money to send to Dallas to tboso orphan children. Tho way 11 man lives, so he shall die. loving hands were present make his last hours that of pence, nnd his Inst thoughts were of the faltn less and motherless, It matters lie he Is or what he was, the De signer of nations nnd men will gw thl sold man n heavenly welcome. Pericles Stnmboul was 75 years age nt the tlmo of bis death.

It Is wonderful what a lot of kiss ing n little mouth can do, Boino peoplo derive a lot of satis faction from their dissatisfaction When It comes to undPrestlmatliiB himself n man seldom overdoes 11. The babbling brook, like n babbllm? num. Is uuablo to keep Its mouth shut. Maybe n lawyer can set to heaven, but It's n safe bet ho can't stay there. When another man has It, It seems llko a fortune; when you havo It. only money. After a man gets to bo about so old all tho romance has oozed oat of his system. Tlmo gets away from nn old man almost ni quickly as money gets away from a young one.
