FAIRY CUPID AND THE POET
This poet, unlike most poets (in fw
tion at least) had a home of his own
in the Adirondack mountains.
And cne fall night when rain
was pouring in torrents and the wind
blew in fitful gusts, as the good poet
learned if he opened his d >or so
much as one inch, the kind hearted
man was much concerned lest some
people, or even animals, might be
without shelter.
Tt is terrible, terrible,” he mur
mured gently, but with much mean
ing. ‘‘lf I could only rescue some
wayfarer on this night I shou'4 feel
that I was a much better man.”
Presently there came a knock on
the poet’s door. And then a childish
voice came to his ears:
"Please let me in, Mister Poet; 1
am perishing,” he heard in a trem
ulous treble.
And of course the poet rusned to
the door and opened it—and found a.i
almost naked child standing on his
doorstep, armed with a bow aid ar
rows. '
"Come in, my child, come right in,”
urged the good poet. “Come in and
share what I have. It is all yours.”
The child was, indeed, chilled to
the bone; so the poet made the child
drink and eat something warm, and
soon they were chatting amiably.
“What do you do?” asked the
waif.
“I try to write verses to lift heavy
loads off people’s minds and hearts”
the poet said. “And what do you do?”
he asked.
“I go about the world making lone
ly people happy,” said the waif
He danced merrily in front of the

Saturday afternoon to a very pleasant

church on Camden street. Both the
bride and groom are residents of San
Antonio and will make this city their
home.
Miss Frieda Bartholomae, whose
marriage to Judge C. L. Gordon takes
place January 3. was surprised with a
linen shower at her home last Sun
day evening by Mrs. Wm. Smith and
Mrs. Ed Roberts, who were joined by
a host of the young lady’s friends.
The affair was so perfectly planned
that the bride-to-be was unaware of
it all. and her surprise can be Imagin
ed when, upon entering her home she
was showered with beautiful linen
presents. Tempting refreshments
were served and musical and vocal se-
look at the picture of a very beautiful
woman over the poet's writing table.
And he replied:
"I am.”
He shot one arrow straight into
the poet’s kind heart, and another ar
row straight into the picture of the
woman, but it didn’t hurt them a bit.
Ten days later Dan Cupid was peep
ing in at the church door when a
simple wedding occurred.
So the poet did not entertain his -it- j
tie guest for nothing.
