Unjust Insinuations.
From the Wilkesbarre Newsdealer.
This is an ago of skepticism iu many
things. The mad rush for wealth has
put a price 011 every man's hoad, as it
were. No matter how honest a man's
motive maybe some people will be found
who will misconstrue it. And suspicion
doesn't rest solely 011 tho individual,
either. Any body of men organized for
any purpose are subject to unjust criti
cism, too. And as it very often hap
pens the skeptic doesn't confine himself
to criticism. He resorts to scandal.
And if we analize carefully we will find
that the scandal mongers are not con
fined solely to the ignorant class. Tho
most intelligent are oftentimes the most
guilty in this respect. In fact the more
intelligent a man is the more skeptical
he Is inclined to bo.
The skeptic, as a rule, has no faith in
tho modern newspaper. He thinks
whatever policy it pursues 011 public
quostious is prompted by dollars and
cents. Most people, whether they are
skeptics or not, are of the same opinion.
They believe, and some of them are hon
est in their belief, too, that nearly every
article that appears in a newspaper is
paid for, and those that do not appear
must have a cash value, or otherwise
they would have appeared. Only a
short time ago our attention was called
to a case in this city which will illus
trate our meaning. One of our reporters
took tho pains to write up an extended
wedding notice for a young couple in
the southern part of the city. Ho iiad
no other object in view but to please the
interested parties. Yet his motive was
misconstrued. The very next day an
old maid remarked to one of her neigh
bors that she was sure tho "piece" had
boon paid for, because tho young hus
band iiad told her upon one occasion
that "every man had his price."
A brother newspaper man tells of a
like experience, only a little more grue
some. A citizen of the town had died.
He was really a good man and the news
paper only voiced the sentiments of the
community when it paid a tribute to his
worth as a father, husband and citizen.
Yet there was a man—it is doubtful if
j he can be called such—who was cruel
1 enough to say that the editor had been
I paid 50 cents a line for every liuo print-
I ed about deceased. And so it goes. If a
| newspaper urges some improvement in
' tho community in which it is published
. there are sure to be some who will say
I there is boodle buck of it. If a public
, building or a horse-car railroad is advo-
cated the finger of suspicion is sure to
be pointed at the editor as one having
j an axe to grind.
Now, as a matter of fact, and we be
lieve overy newspaper proprietor will
coincide with us, no individual, associa
tion or corporation is called upon to do
so much work free gratis as the average
newspaper. From tho politician who
wants an office down to the widow who
ti is trying to raise a few dollars from tho
K proceeds of a raffle, tho newspaper is
expected to give its aid and ask no ques
t tions. And yet publishing a newspaper
is a legitimate enterprise like any other
business.
Another erroneous impression some
people have is that a newspaper is made
rich at every election; that the office
seekers throw big piles of money into its
coffers, etc., during the progress of the
campaign. Nothing could be farther
from tho truth. No man lias such a
"poor mouth" as tho politician when he
enters the office of a newspaper. He
may get a fow cards printed, costing
probably $2 or $3, on which the proprie
tor makes about 50 or 75 cents profit,
, providing lie is fortunate enough to get
his money. If the newspaper man does
not get ids money before eloction, and
if the candidate is defeated he can whit
tle for it.
All talk, then, of newspapers getting
5 big money about election time is a
f myth. If tho candidates are fortunate
enough to have any it finds its way into
tho hands of the county committees,
who expend it on poll men and politi
y clans who are supposed to have a pull.
But none of It reaches a newspaper
office. Sometimes when wo aro re
quested to give advertising free and our
press room is raided for free papers wo
are prompted to ask the beggars why
' they do not seek the grocer across the
way and demand some of his coffee and
sugar free; but we refrain lest we should
4 loso our reward in the world to come.

Continued from Thursday.
Babinette was gone!
That was all that Piootin compre
hended in the midst of the shrill out
cries and upbraJidings of her distracted
parents. He stood there sullenly lis
tening, with bent head, as they again
and again asked him why he had not
put an end to his foolish courting by
marriage. Was a young girl like that
to be consulted. He had contrived she
should run away with one of those pen
niless students, now he was too rich
end proud to have their child. Yet she
was pretty and good enough to be any
man's wife, let alone a clown's. But
they knew it was his fault; oh, yes, he
alone was to blame—and what would
they do now, the poor old parents, with
out the child's talents to help in sup
porting them?
He knew that was the sum total of
theilr grief, and that the annuity he
could settle upon them, now he was a
rich man, would dry up their tears and
even cast a halo of grateful remem
brance round the day on which their
child had deserted them. It took so
little to console some people, but with
himself it was different.
Babinette was gone!
He tried not to think of the rascal
Who had decoyed her away, for when
he did so a fierce regret shook his soul
for not having strangled him when he
lay at the mercy of his strong grasp.
Oh, that sweet child face, with its
starry eyes, he never should see again!
Piootin crept back to his own little
chamber like a wounded animal that
seeks some spot in which to moan out
Its ebbing life in solitude. Not that he
felt himself about to die. Far from it.
Ho was a man, and could fight out his
anguish and bury his dead heart away
from human eyes, so that none would
know that he lived henceforth without
one.
When evening came he went down to
fulfill his engagement as usual. He
put on the old dress, tumbled head over
heels into the ring, plunged both hands
Into tho baggy pockets, with legs wide
apart, and nodded comically to the
audience in acknowledgement of their
applause.
"He has had a fortune left him, but
he treats even that as a Joke, and
means to continue his foolery and give
the money all away to the poor," whis
pered the red-faced attorney, over
whom Piootin seemed to have cast a
spell of fascination, for he came to see
him every night and laughed more than
anyone there. To him It was the most
exquisite of Jokes that a man should
prefer to stand on his head and be poor
rather than live at his ease the right
side up like other people.
Three years passed and Picotin trav
eled through many towns and cities,
always with growing reputation as the
most inimitable clown there had ever
been. Everywhere people held their
sides at recollection of his jokes, his
antics, his thousand and one ways of
drollery, and everywhere Picotln's
name was quoted as an embodiment of
laughter, some great charitable institu
tion rejoiced in a mysterious donation
and some poor wretch blessed an un
known benefactor.
At last he came to Paris and the peo
ple went mad over him. The ladies in
troduced a little more motley Into their
costumes than usual, even, a la Plcotin.
They preferred the fool's cap to any
other form of headgear, and no doubt
it suited some of them admirably. Pl
cotin found himself surrounded by flat
terers. Rumors of his fortune and his
eccentric ways were grossly exagger
ated. He might even have thrown the
handkerchief like a great pacha, and
found the most fastidious ready to pick
it up; but he passed them all by with
unseeing eyes, solitary and mournful a9
he had been In the beginning of his
career.
"He is so charmingly absurd, this
dear Picotin," said the ladles. "If one
speaks to him of himself he looks at
one in that heart-broken way of his,
and says that outside the ring he
ceases to exist. He is rather brusque
and undoubtedly queer, but he is ador
able."
One night after an ovation more bril
liant than usual, Plcotin had escaped
from his admirers and wandered out
alone under th'e stars to commune with
that second self no one amongst them
could understand. Such moments were
his nearest approach to happiness, for
W them ho strengthened those resolu
tions to do what good lay In his power
and to mitigate the misery he saw
others born to. This man of earnest
and deep affections had been early
thrown back upon himself, but his nat
ure welled up and overflowed in that
charity he was now able to dispense at
will. Nothing appealed to him in vain,
though he had a morbid fear of dis
covery.
As he walked along now, shivering
slightly beneath his furs, for the night
was cold with an Intense frost, a wo
man who had been crouching in the
angle of one of the bridges suddenly
rose in front of him, swayed to and fro,
and fell senseless at his feet.
In a moment Picotin was kneeling by
her side. He tore off his rich coat and
wrapped it gently round the stiffened
Mtnbs. The chWd clasped to the wo
loan's breast gavs a cry that went
•traignt to his heart and he hastened
to call assistance.
"Where to?" asked the commission
aires.
Plcotin reflected for half a second.
The nearest hospital was far away and
his own luxurious apartments close at
hand. He gave the men that direction,
and sending one of them for a doctor
and nurse, took his place in assisting
to remove the helpless creatures.
An hour afterwards the rellgieuse,
who hud taken her place by the bed
side of the rescued woman, came softly
into the adjacent room where Plootin
was and touched him on the arm.
The clown had been sitting with his
head between his hands. He raised It
slowly, expecting to see the red-faced
lawyer, the flaring gas-jet and the
wooden walls of his old dressing-room,
for that moment of his life was strong
ly before him. Instead of this, he saw
a black-robed Sister, with the head
dress of her order standing out like
white wings on each side of her pensive
countenance, a softly lighted apart
ment, and there upon the floor a wo
man's ragged shawl, recalling him to
the present.
"Mon-sieur, the doctor says she can
not last long. I have already sent for j
the priest. Come quick, she seems to j
have something on her mind she wishes
to say."
It was all over.
Life was exceeding cruel, and love
had made a mock of the wan-faced wo
man who had once been starry-eyed
Babinette. Only death was kindly,
thought Picotin, as he turned away with
a numb feeWng of anguish and a bitter
remembrance of that which might have
been, while his clown's existence
seemed, as it often did, the only natural
one upon this earth, where all went by
contraries.
But ever since that night a new in
terest had crept into Ms life.
The woman who had wronged him
had died in peace because he had prom
ised to be a father to her child and that
of the one man whom he had hated as
an enemy, even while struggling to for
give.
Poor Picotin 1 Much had been asked
of him, and as for the first time he
stooped over the sleeping Infant and
marked how the mother had starved
herself to preserve the rounded soft
ness of those little limbs, some of the
repugnance he felt for the father re
colled, In spite of himself, upon this
poor Innocent he had vowed to cherish.
But suddenly It woke and looked with
baby wonderment up into his face;
then crowing with baby confidence and
delight held out its chubby arms. As
those arms closed round his neck and
the curly head rubbed against his
cheek, Picotln's heart expanded with
the consciousness that he had at last
found something to love. Henceforth
the intercourse between these two
strangely-assorted beings was one long
laughter and delight.
As the years passed on only one fear,
that the real father might some day
claim his child, marred the clown's
happiness. He idolised her with a rapt
devotion far more satisfying and less
disquieting than that which he had felt
for her mother long ago. Nothing was
too good for Bebee, In the opinion of
Papa Picotin, and no amount of
caresses were too many for Papa Pico
tin, In the opinion of Bebee.
It was with a terrible sense of self
sacrifice that as she grew older he
placed the child in a convent school,
where she could be better oared for and
trained in those accomplishments he
vaguely believed necessary to a young
lady destined to inherit a considerable
fortune. As for himself, he still con
tinued his old career, partly from habit,
partly from love of that to which he
seemed to the manner born, and be
cause he was still BO great a favorite
with the public.
Not long after Picotin had taken the
painful step of sending Bebee to school
she fell 111 of some childish malady,
which suddenly taking a serious turn
caused them to send for him in haste.
He was Just quitting the ring amid a
burst of laughter when he almost fell
over the white-faced messenger, who
gasped out his bad Intelligence.
The clown stared at him wildly; the
audience were clamoring for their fav
orite's return, and their acclamations
sounded like a muffled roar. To leave
now would be to spoil the whole even
ing's entertainment and throw every
one else out, and Picotin had always
been the most conscientious of artists.
As he hesitated It seemed to him con
fusedly as If this Insatiable public were
demanding his heart's blood shed for
their amusement, and the first shudder
of repugnance he had ever felt for his
long-pursued career shook him from
head to foot.
A quarter of an hour had scarcely
flown In that hurried drive when the
pious Sisters attending the sick child
were startled at the strange figure
which flung itself down at the little
crib. Picotin had not stayed to change
hl dress; he hod only thought of Bebee
delirious, tossing her golden head from
side to side while 9he called aloud his
name.
bent with passionate anxjetv over
the nny, ilusnea race, murmuring
words of tenderness, but the child
turned round on her pillow with a cry
of terror. She did not know that white
and red apparition with the huge ruff
standing out all round and the eye
brows drawn almost to the roots of the
hair. She sobbed and screamed with
fright. Pico tin rose bewldered as the
grave nuns shrank from him as If he
had been an Incarnation of the evil
one; only the good doctor smiled a little
at the scene as he whispered:
"Wipe the paint from your face, mon
ileur, and put this coat over your dress;
then perhaps the child may recognize
you."
"To-night will have been my last ap
pearance," said the clown sadly, doing
as he was bid, for it occurred to him
thrit if Bebee died he would not have
the heart to Joke again.
Then he approached the crib once
nwre, hesitating, fearful of those large
oye filled with feverish apprehension
turned once more in his direction.
"Papa Plootin!"
With a little sob of Infinite content
Bebee nestled into his breast, as the
clow wrapped his arms about the tiny
wasted form and held her close to his
heart. I
"Papa Picotin, good papa," she mur
mured, stroking his cheek, while the
doctor nodded approvingly as he saw
the sleep, for which he had been watch
ing, gradually seal up the small pa
tient's eyelids In a slumber that meant
salvation.
It was a strange and touching sight—-
the man with his haggard face and
fool's dress sitting there motionless
with the child throughout the long
hours, and when at last she woke re
freshed and the doctor bade him lay
his burden down and go home to rest
awhile, the grave nuns looked at him
with admiration in their eyes. No
mother could have been more patient,
more tender than this curious being in
his antic dress who ministered to the
world's folly.
Daylight was Just about to dawn aa
Picotin Htepped out Into the air. The
lamps In the streets had not yet been
extinguished, and a few of those miser
able wretches or late revelers who
haunt the night still crept In and out
of the shadows. One of these, a man
In rags; with vice stumped on his feat
ures, stopped Picotin and hoarsely de
manded alms. He had been squatting
near the convent gates, and had dogged
the clown's footsteps for some distance
be-fore he made the appeal, and an un
easy sense of this made the latter look
at htm inquiringly.
The man shivered as the cold winds
blew his rugs about. He was a ghastly
spectacle, standing there in the pale,
uncertain light, one hand, not unlike a
claw, held eagerly out, the other burled
In his breast.
Picotin shuddered, too. He hastily
thrust all he had Into the upturned
palm, and was about to pass on when
a face seemed to leap out of the re
cesses of his memory and press with a
look of concentrated malignity close to
his own.
"You!" he cried, staggering back
wards; then almost before the word had
left his lips a blow from that hidden
hand had stretched him lifeless on the
ground.
All Paris rang with the news. They
were crying It aong the boulevards and
amid the traffic of the streets. "Assas
sination of Picotin, the clown." Even
the quiet nuns heard this rumor of the
outer world as they watched by the
bedside of the little child sleeping
peacefully, her golden curls spread out
that had all night been pillowed on the
breast of that strange, tender-hearted
being, whom dawn had found lying
face upwards, still cad In his Jester's
dress, alone and silent in the deserted
street. The pious women lowered theit
heads and sighed. They did not doubt
it was a Judgment of heaven that had
laid him low for ministering to the de.
praved tastes of a wicked world; still
their Hps moved in silent prayer, for
they recalled those tender, haggard
eyes which had watched with them all
through the troubled night.
And their prayers were answered, for
Picotln's body, If not his soul, was
saved.
He had been picked up and taken to
the aa dead, but the wound In
his breast was found not to be mortal
■after all, and a month later Bebee, rad
iant, Joyous, wtas leading papa Plcotin
by the hand, laughing to think that he
too, had been 111 as she had been.
She never knew that the miserable
creature that dealt the blow was her
own father, and that his body, dragged
from the river, had been Identified by
the clown at the morgue quite by
chance and so gained decent burial.
Plcotin folded all these secrets in his
heart where the sunny-haired child
nestled confidingly, repaying him
through the long, bright years, with
her laughter and her love.
Paris had to digest Its disappointment
as best It might, for, after all, the
clown had defrauded his admirers of a
sensational exit by getting well; still,
that night was positively his last ap
pearance In the ring, where he never
came tumbling head over heels again,
though his old suit of motley always
hangs ready at hand, and Bebee de
clares he shall some day go to a fancy
ball In It with her. "Parcequ 'll est si
beau comma ca—si beau!"—Alethea
Phillips.

"Lillian Russell and Mrs. Dr. Park,
hurst are the nicest women to news
paper women In America," said a New
York feminine Journalist. "Mrs. Gerge
Gould Is always pleasant. If you can
get at her at all, and the same thing
Is true of Mrs. Cleveland, and they are
very accessible to women they know
or have some special Interest In. Some
times people gibe at women for having
their names In the papers, and as
sume that they want to be 'written
up,' but the truth is the women whose
names are of real Interest to the pub
lic are written up much more than
most of them want to be."

seem to have ever found out how
clever or how charming she Is."
